Because they were to depart early the next morning, Jiang Yichun was busy tallying the number of people, and by the time he returned to the yard, it was already time to light the lamps.
After the maid had heated up dinner, he ate, played with his son for a while, then took Bai Ruozhu back to the room. Dengdeng was staying with Lin Ping'er tonight; according to her, it would be quite some time before she could see her precious grandson again, so she insisted on sleeping with him tonight.
Bai Ruozhu could not help but mutter under her breath, "It will also be a long time before she sees me again, so why doesn't she ask me to sleep with them too?"
Once back in the room, Bai Ruozhu brought up Dang Youshen, whom Tu Bai had mentioned, and also relayed what she overhear from her second brother about Dang Youshen's uncle, Jiao Congwen, being a man of the Duke of Duan.
