Mei Wanying waited and waited in Jiangnan.
She waited until news of Xue Xingyao's injury arrived. By saving the Empress, she had performed a great service, atoning for past faults and winning her family's freedom in return.
Mei Wanying knew Xue Xingyao's temperament. She might save someone, but she would never turn back just to retrieve some peace charm.
Even if it was one sought for the Emperor.
A moment's thought was all it took to know the Empress had a hand in this.
Fortunately, Ah Yao had gotten her wish and rescued her family.
Mei Wanying had her steward in the Capital City get the Xue Family settled in, adding a special instruction: Xue Xingyao was not to be allowed out of the house until her injuries were fully healed.
A few days later, Mei Wanying received news of Xue Xingyao and Chen Shujing's divorce.
