Lu Erbai wanted to laugh out loud, but when he realized where he was, he quickly shut his mouth.
He nodded heavily. "Of course. We have to make up for the first fourteen years." As he spoke, he sighed. "I was a little worried when I first arrived. I was afraid that you'd blame us for coming over without permission. You'd be angry."
"I was indeed a little angry at first. I went through so much trouble to hide it and even went to the prefecture myself just to not let you know. In the end, you came as you pleased and even came with your family. What if something happened?"
Lu Erbai said, "We're also worried that something might happen to you on your way to exile."
Shu Yu didn't say anything. She lowered her head, hid her surging emotions, and began to eat quietly.
Only then did Lu Erbai begin to talk about their journey here.
