When Chen Wanqing heard this, she felt no surge of excitement, only worry and lingering fear.
"I'm not praying for Father to earn merits. I just want him to be safe and sound. Fighting bandits is a life-or-death struggle. Climbing cliffs... the chances of survival are slim... No, I have to write home right now and ask about the details."
Chen Wanqing scurried out of the flower hall and went back to her room to write to her parents.
Mrs. Zhao said to Cao Xu, "You should go rest for now. Over the next two days, I'll have to trouble you to make more trips into town. If you hear any useful news, tell Wanqing immediately."
"I understand."
Chen Wanqing wrote the letter and had someone deliver it, but her heart still wouldn't quiet down.
She wanted to find out more specific details, but who could she ask?
