This was also a request from Song Chunhua. Originally, the traveling merchant heard that Song Chongjin's family was still in Jing County and hadn't returned home, so he wanted to send her directly to the Song Family.
But in the end, he feared consequences.
Moreover, Song Chunhua herself said not to trouble the merchant, and that sending her back home would suffice.
The merchant couldn't wait to rid himself of this trouble and feared Song Chongjin might cause him grief. Without thinking much, he sent her away.
After sending Song Chunhua off, the merchant boarded the ship, secretly vowing never to return to Jing County again—it was truly too frightening!
One careless mistake might cost his life!
Putting aside how scared the merchant was, let's talk about Song Chunhua.
Song Chunhua had the self-awareness; she had been sold by the Song family to the merchant as a concubine for a man old enough to be her father, and her heart towards her family had died long ago.
