Huai Yu had not spoken the entire journey, until they were behind Yan Wanqing's exquisite little courtyard, at which point she let out a sigh.
"You could have just broken the engagement and left, but now with things turning out this way, you can't leave."
Yan Wanqing released her hand: "If I can't leave, then I won't." Besides the matter of dealing with Song Huaxu constantly weighing on her mind, she had already taken care of everything else.
With Huai Yu living under such oppressive and difficult conditions, as her sister, if she merely cared for her own happiness and left directly, wouldn't that be utterly heartless and ungrateful?
"But..." Huai Yu's face showed distress. The Northern Border was extremely chaotic right now, and even she often found herself in dangerous situations. She didn't want Yan Wanqing to step out of the Capital City's dragon's den only to enter the tiger's lair of the Northern Border.
