Su Pan'er is back!
Such news spread quickly, even the Old Qin family received the message.
Su Pan'er's return made Mrs. Su-Hua the happiest and proudest of all!
Although it was the middle of the night, the cold wind outside could not deter Mrs. Su-Hua's enthusiasm.
"Come, come, come! Are you all tired and hungry? I had the servants prepare some hot food, eat it while it's warm, and have a good sleep afterwards—then everything will be alright. And my dear granddaughter from my mother's side, eat more too, eating more will help you grow taller, understand?"
Mrs. Su-Hua joyfully invited everyone to eat.
The group had grown weary and, upon entering the Qin Mansion, everyone drank hot tea, changed their clothes, and the room was heated by a charcoal fire, making the whole house warm. For those who had suffered in the tunnels, nothing could be better!
Everyone thanked her and began to eat.
