Regrettably, they had no knowledge of which military camp Qi was stationed in the northwest. How was he faring? Did he endure hardships? Did he long for home and his loved ones?
The uncertainty of his return weighed on their minds.
Despite missing him dearly, they were all mature individuals who understood that while Qi served in the army, Shao Yunduan was flourishing with the assistance of the Xie Family. Qi himself was capable and resourceful, so they refrained from dampening the festive atmosphere with worries. They continued to chat and laugh, cherishing the joyous occasion.
