On the day Liu Miaoying returned to the Capital City, the Chief Secretary hurriedly left the palace to return home. Seeing his daughter intact before him, his eyes reddened.
Liu Miaoying also had reddened eyes and choked up, "It's my unfilialness that worried Father."
Having gone to Xu State, there were several times she thought she might not make it back to the Capital City.
First, she encountered bandits, then she went to care for those diseased victims and got a few fevers herself, barely making it through.
She always knew life outside was not as prosperous as the Capital City, with many people not having enough to eat or wear. Having experienced it firsthand, she realized her previous thoughts were mere fantasies; reality was far more brutal than she imagined.
The Chief Secretary wiped his tears, "It's good to have you back. You've lost weight. You should rest at home for a few days and recover; don't catch any illness."
