Shen Wenchen pondered for a moment, then whispered, "There's a river outside of Yan City. If we take a boat and go down the river for seven days, and then ride a horse for another two days, we can reach Qing Fenghan."
"The round trip would take roughly twenty-two days," Nanzhi calculated in her heart. Coming back would surely be slower than going, but she would still have time to make it for their wedding date.
"Nannan!"
Understanding her intent, Shen Wenchen felt a slight weight in his heart.
Their wedding date was set for the middle of next month, and he hoped nothing would go wrong in between.
If someone really had to make the trip, it should be him.
Back then, when they were fleeing the famine, he hadn't protected mother and son properly. Now, it was his responsibility to repay that kindness.
"Mom, I will go find that old man. His donkey is really fast! I made it to Yan City in just five days with him!"
