Su State is several hundred miles away from the Capital City, and with the cold wind blowing fiercely, asking someone to deliver a letter swiftly on horseback is indeed a great favor.
But the mere mention of Old Duke Chong was enough for Mr. Lin to undertake this journey.
Although Madam Lin was reluctant to let her son endure hardships and feared the dangers he might encounter on the way to the capital, Su Jin's gesture of gifting a Duan Inkstone and her decision to send a letter to Old Duke Chong proved that her identity was extraordinary.
Lord Lin was demoted, and Madam Lin always hoped for the day he would be reinstated in his post. With the opportunity to connect with Old Duke Chong brought to their door, how could she miss it?
Madam Lin looked at Lord Lin and said, "I think it would be better for you to deliver this letter?"
Lord Lin frowned and said, "How could that be appropriate? Mr. Xie entrusted this task to our son; how can I deliver it instead?"
