Xie Liangchen returned to the courtyard, and Chang Yue explained everything Song Xian had arranged beside her.
When mentioning the women rescued from the mountain stronghold, Chang Yue noticeably paused.
Xie Liangchen asked, "What's wrong?"
Chang Yue replied, "I've heard that Mr. Song ordered the women to be temporarily settled in a courtyard outside the city so that no one would know they had been abducted to the mountains."
Xie Liangchen nodded. This would at least save them from being pointed at by others. Sometimes, overcoming hardship isn't about how much one is injured but whether one can cross that barrier.
The perceptions of those around and those outside sometimes determine the height of that barrier.
Xie Liangchen said, "Mr. Song is very thoughtful."
Chang Yue couldn't help but say, "It's unlike Mr. Song to manage such things. He usually isn't good at these matters because he doesn't think of them; many times, Chang An has to remind him."
