Just as evening approached, Xin Lin left the inn.
Due to the Zixiao Palace Exam, Purple Cloud City was bustling with people coming and going, and the increased flow of people during this period had considerably relaxed the security checks within the city.
Xin Lin touched the letter tucked inside her garments. The letter, just written by Shi Guiren, was meant for an old subordinate of General Shi, a General with the surname Zuo.
General Zuo was General Shi's deputy. When Shi Guiren was caught up in trouble, thanks to General Zuo secretly managing matters, mother and son were safely sent to the other residence.
Over the years, General Zuo occasionally wrote letters to inquire about Shi Guiren and her son, leading Shi Guiren to consider General Zuo the most suitable candidate.
Shi Guiren originally wanted to personally find General Zuo, but was stopped by Xin Lin.
