"Yes, the coal mine case. Father and father-in-law were nearly victims. Their family deserves some compensation."
Wen Wan suddenly understood, "So, in that case, it seems reasonable for their family to send someone."

Su Dai sat inside the carriage, waiting until nightfall without seeing the Song family's carriage. Her already unsettled heart grew uneasy, and she asked the driver, "Could they have really left?"
The driver replied, "I guess they took a detour, Sixth Miss. We shouldn't wait any longer. Let's return to the manor and let Auntie make a decision."
Su Dai thought of the warning her mother had given her during the day. Fear gripped her heart, but since they had already missed the Song family's carriage, waiting any longer would be pointless. She had no choice but to head back and devise a new plan.
"Let's go back!"
Just two words, but Su Dai spoke them with a lack of energy, making it easy to imagine how fearful she was inside.
