Mei Wanying's hand, resting on the quilt, tightened. "I will bid His Highness farewell at dawn."
Mrs. Mei patted her hand. "That's for the best. We haven't even unpacked the luggage. As long as you're well, we can leave whenever we're ready."
Hearing that Mrs. Mei had arrived, Pei Yan came to the guest courtyard out of respect for his elder.
And so, he overheard their conversation.
After standing there for a long time, Pei Yan thought, 'It's actually a good thing for Mei Wanying to return to Jiangnan.'
'I'm about to leave the Capital City, and after what happened today, she'd be terrified and all alone.'
'The Crown Prince is severely injured. If I stir up a little more trouble for him, it will be difficult for him to extend his reach to Jiangnan, no matter how long his arm is.'
'For now, getting Mei Wanying away from this place of conflict is an excellent choice.'
