NOVPUBLater, Tu Lie brought over various medicines. After Shen Roujia treated the cub’s injuries, she made a small nest for it beside the table using old clothes.
The cub whimpered, and for a moment, it reminded Shen Roujia of Little Black’s personality.
Finally, Shen Roujia was able to sleep soundly. She had hidden the cub well, and even though things had been hectic over the past few days, the cub had been quiet, not making a sound that could give it away.
The falcon had also started to recover. Although the homing pigeon wasn’t as fast as the falcon, it had successfully delivered its message, easing Shen Roujia’s worries.
By the time the pigeon returned, the falcon would likely be ready to resume its duties.
With these concerns off her mind, Shen Roujia began preparing for the next steps.
She smiled softly and, without any hesitation, made her way to Wen Surong’s room.
“Father, there’s something I need to discuss with you...”
Meanwhile, Ai Yigu stood in a daze, staring at the distant Daxi River. The water had always flowed so clear, never showing any signs of turmoil, much like her own heart.

No one could understand what she was feeling.
Suddenly, Ai Yigu’s gaze turned fierce as she looked at the letter in her hand.
It read, “When this is over, I will personally ensure you and your brother leave the Northern Border.”
In the middle of the letter, a strand of hair tied with a red string was folded.
Muttering to herself, Ai Yigu said, “I will destroy all of you. Why should only we suffer...”
Shen Roujia sneezed as she finished explaining her plans. Tu Lie approached her. “Are you sure this will work?”
Shen Roujia blinked and replied, “Just stick to your unchanging attitude. Let the details remain vague when you hint at them.”
