Bai Suihe had been going out and about these past few days, giving her access to more sources of information. It finally provided a way to pass the time in this world devoid of entertainment.
When the couple returned home each day, they would share the news they had gathered outside. As it turned out, Bai Suihe's worries were not unfounded.
"I just received some news on my end as well," Gu Kaiyuan said. "Lord Xu should have returned two days ago, but he was ambushed on the road. I heard he is heavily injured and currently recovering in Shao County."
"They were that brazen? He is an official of the imperial court!" Bai Suihe exclaimed. She knew very well that attacking a government official carried a massive penalty.
"Could it be him?" Bai Suihe made a subtle gesture.
"Not necessarily," Gu Kaiyuan replied. "It could also be someone else trying to frame him."
