After the child's first month, the autumn exams had long ended, and Xie YanYu had to return to the Capital City to report back.
Before leaving, he gave many instructions.
He also left behind two followers, saying he would return quickly after completing the imperial command.
Xie Wanqing firmly refused.
During her childbirth, her brother's anxiety made Lu Ziyuan already suspicious, and frequent trips to Bianzhou could potentially cause trouble.
"Brother, please be at ease, I will take good care of myself and the child. Everything will be fine. You alone are with our parents; fulfill your filial duties more for me. When a year or two has passed and Lu Ziyuan no longer has his eyes solely on you, come visit me then."
Xie Wanqing said: "By then, I hope you will have married our sister-in-law."
Originally, Xie YanYu's wedding was set for this spring.
