Lady Gao thought it over thoroughly but finally decided to hire a cart to send her son to the city, so he could personally inform her husband of the situation.
Upon hearing his son's account, Jiao Guangcheng was shocked, anxious, and angry: "How is your sister? Are you sure there won't be a scar left on her face?"
Jiao Guangcheng and Lady Gao were cousins who grew up together, sharing a deep affection. It was only after overcoming many hardships that they ended up together.
