After Tang Wan finished discussing the caravan with Er Ya, she asked, "Has any news come from the War Prince's Mansion?"

While combing Tang Wan's hair, Er Ya replied, "Not for now."

Tang Wan hummed in agreement and didn't ask any more questions about the War King's side. Instead, she asked Er Ya to go to Shi Lei's side to tell them the departure time for tomorrow and to do some more shopping today if needed.

She would store the food from the space in the warehouse of that house after Shi Lei and the others left, and use the food from that warehouse next time she went to Mobei.

Er Ya quickly agreed when she heard her young mistress say that. After finishing combing Tang Wan's hair, she hurriedly left to find Shi Lei.

In the evening, Tang Wan was walking around in the courtyard to stretch her muscles when she saw Er Ya walking quickly in from outside the gate.

She was holding a folded letter in her hand. She walked up to Tang Wan, bowed, handed her the letter, and whispered, "Miss, someone from the Prince of Zhan's mansion has come. They say everything has been taken care of."

Tang Wan took the letter and unfolded it. It was a letter written by the War King himself, which read: "Feng Yongnian has been detained in the Ministry of Justice prison. He was interrogated this morning, and his confession matches the evidence seized last night. The matter of the Southern Desert envoy has also been settled. The post station has been sealed off, and he will be transferred to the Court of State Ceremonial for further processing soon. As for the Qixia Manor case, both the person and the stolen goods have been recovered, so there is no need for further investigation. You should rest well; I will handle everything else."

After reading the letter, Tang Wan folded it and nodded to Er Ya: "Report back to Er Ya and say that I understand."

Er Ya responded and turned to leave.

Tang Wan breathed a soft sigh of relief and carefully folded the letter.

Then, he turned and walked towards Wang's courtyard, as it was almost time for dinner.

Tang Wan entered the courtyard, where the lights were already on inside the house.

Wang and Tang Jing were sitting on a warm couch by the window, doing needlework.

Tang Jing looked up and saw her younger sister come in, so she put down what she was doing and greeted her with a smile: "Come and sit down, Mother is talking about what happened yesterday."

Tang Wan walked over and sat down next to Tang Jing. Wang Shi put down her needlework and carefully looked Tang Wan over. Although she still looked a little tired, her spirits had returned, so she felt relieved and asked, "Are you hungry? Your father isn't here today, so let's eat first, the three of us."

After saying that, she instructed the maid to set out the meal, which included several dishes that Tang Wan loved.

The mother and her two daughters sat around a table, and Tang Jing chattered on about what had happened during the day.

They originally did not speak while eating or sleeping. In the northern desert, they developed the habit of discussing things while eating or after eating. After returning to the capital, Wang reminded her two daughters, but when Tang Bojun was not around, Tang Jing still preferred to talk during meals, as it made the meal more lively.

As they talked, Tang Jing brought up Tang Mubai's letter.

Tang Jing picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it into Tang Wan's bowl, saying, "I wrote a letter back to Mu Bai, and Father and Mother also wrote one. Have you written one? If you have, put them together and send them out tomorrow."

Tang Wan paused with her chopsticks, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then truthfully replied, "I haven't written it yet. I was planning to write it yesterday, but my father called me over to say a few words, and when I came back I was busy packing, so I forgot. I woke up for a moment today and didn't remember."

When I woke up, my mind was full of thoughts about the caravan's imminent departure and the matter with the War King. I didn't even think about replying to my brother's letter.

Tang Jing smiled and shook her head, saying, "You can write it tonight, and I'll have someone pick it up first thing tomorrow morning and send it out together."

Wang listened from the side without interrupting, but only glanced at Tang Wan.

She knew what her second daughter had been busy with these past two days, and she also knew that such a dangerous task was not something her family could refuse. Fortunately, she returned safely.

Not only Wan'er, but even her own husband has been so busy these past two days that she can hardly see him.

Wang didn't say much, but simply placed a piece of sweet and sour fish in Tang Wan's bowl and said gently, "Eat more." After dinner, the maid cleared away the dishes, and Tang Jing and Tang Wan sat with Wang for a while longer.

As evening approached, Wang urged the two sisters to go back and rest, and they then got up to take their leave.

Before parting, Tang Jing reminded Tang Wan, "Don't forget to reply to Mu Bai."

Tang Wan smiled and replied, "I won't forget. I'll send it to you first thing tomorrow morning."

After parting ways with her sister Tang Jing, Tang Wan strolled slowly back to the courtyard.

Er Ya followed half a step behind her. As they turned the corner past the artificial rockery, Tang Wan suddenly remembered that Er Ya had gone to Shi Lei's place that afternoon, so she asked, "Did you go to see Shi Lei this afternoon?"

Er Ya immediately replied, "I've checked. Tell them we'll depart at dawn tomorrow. Brother Shi Lei said everything is fine with the caravan. All ten mule carts have been inspected, and the necessary fodder, dry food, and medicine have been loaded. He also specifically asked me to tell Miss that everyone is waiting to depart, so Miss doesn't need to worry."

After listening, Tang Wan nodded slightly. The convoy set off smoothly, and a weight was lifted from her heart.

Upon returning to her courtyard, Tang Wan immediately sat down by the lamp, spread out letter paper, ground ink, picked up her pen, and wrote a reply to her younger brother, Tang Mubai.

Her letter wasn't long, but it was written with care. She briefly mentioned the recent situation of each family member, and added at the end: "Er Ya is going to the northern desert. If you need anything, just tell her. She has expedited channels."

After finishing the letter, she let the pages air dry for a while, carefully folded them, put them in an envelope, and sealed it. She planned to tell Tang Jing the next day that she didn't need to send the letters to the post station anymore, and could just give them all to Er Ya.

We can keep the caravan a secret from the family for now, but we can tell them that Er Ya is going there and can bring some things for Mu Bai while she's there.

With this in mind, Tang Wan began to think about what to bring for Tang Mubai that he would like and that he could use.

Unable to recall anything at once, Tang Wan took Er Ya and went straight back to her space.

Go to the space and see if there's anything you can give to Tang Mubai.

He's always been stubborn and refuses to admit anything.

But as the older sister, she always had to think of things he couldn't have thought of himself.

Tang Wan stood up, and with a slight thought, she entered the space.

Once inside the space, Tang Wan first went to check out the villa. Looking left and right, it seemed she could only bring some hand cream to keep her hands warm this winter from getting frostbite from writing, since it contained the spiritual spring water from the space.

Oh, and bring some spiritual spring water too, just in case I get sick.

There doesn't seem to be anything else suitable to bring.

Tang Wan walked around the villa but didn't find anything suitable. After going downstairs, she walked towards the fields. As she walked, she suddenly remembered the chickens and rabbits on the mountain.

This thing is inconvenient to carry around, but it can be used to make cured meat.

The preserved chicken and rabbit that I made for the War King's trip to the northern desert were brought back to my family in a basket, and they all loved them.

There wasn't enough time to make them right away, but luckily she had a basket of them left in her warehouse.

Without further ado, Tang Wan hurried towards the warehouse in her spatial storage. (End of Chapter)
