Yixuan had left in October. He sent several letters continuously, describing the scenery he encountered along the way, and he mentioned his brothers, yet he never wrote a single word about his wife.
The letters he sent were addressed to Purple Garden, but there was no return address included.
By the end of the year, when Mother Dong and the Dong family elders had finished their travels and returned, the following spring, Yun Ge also returned with Second Thought and Third Desire whom she had taken with her.
But by then, Purple Garden had emptied out, everyone had moved away, leaving only one person behind to receive Yixuan's letters and then forward them to Taihang Town.
Yun Ge arrived at Kaoshan Village in Taihang Town. On the way here, whether it was Qingfeng Prefecture or Pingchang Prefecture, Huizi Stores were blooming everywhere, springing up like mushrooms after the rain.
