The caravan traveling from Chaoge carried Lady Yin's handwritten letter back to her maternal family, reporting the tragic news and submitting her resignation. Lady Yin's surname alone indicated that her maternal clan was no minor household. Her purpose in doing this was to stall Wen Zhong and buy her family some time to escape.
The caravan heading to Jizhou was tasked with contacting the similarly oppressed Su family. Never underestimate Lady Yin's information network—on the very day Nezha arrived in Chaoge, the Su family's maid was gifted to him. At the time, Lady Yin thought it might have been too soon, and in the years that followed, she couldn't help but wonder why Nezha hadn't yet "opened his eyes". When would she get to cradle a grandchild?
