The transport team departs for Beijing, bringing hope for prosperity. Meanwhile, Yang Rusong confides in Yang Ruxin, revealing he has received a marriage proposal but wishes to postpone the wedding. He shares his recent realization that he has much to learn and wishes to continue expanding his knowledge and skills before settling down.

Yang Rusong's face turned a shade red: "Cousin, I don't aspire to the daily grind from dawn till dusk. I believe I can pursue other ventures." He beamed as he spoke, "As the proverb goes, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.' I wish to venture out and explore the world."

"Have you truly considered this?" Yang Ruxin felt a fresh wave of admiration for her cousin. Should he remain true to his initial resolve, his future could be boundless.

"Indeed," Yang Rusong affirmed with a firm nod.

"It's actually a commendable aspiration," Yang Ruxin agreed, nodding. "Experiencing the harsh realities and duplicity of the world can indeed be instructive for you. But have you pondered this: your physical strength is not substantial, how will you guarantee your safety out there?"

"I..."

"Don't risk losing your life in the pursuit of experience."

"I wish to join your transport caravan," Yang Rusong confessed, his gaze fixed on Yang Ruxin with a hint of nervousness.

Yang Ruxin emitted a soft chuckle. "So that's the core reason for your visit, is it?"

Yang Rusong sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"Mid-month, a team is scheduled to depart for Hangcheng; you may accompany them then," Yang Ruxin finally consented with a nod. "However, be warned, the journey is arduous, so prepare yourself accordingly."

"I have been honing my martial arts under Brother Xu's tutelage; I am not afraid of hardship."

"That is good to hear, then," Yang Ruxin replied, nodding.

The day subsequent to Yang Rusong's departure, unexpectedly, Feng Caie arrived, her primary concern being her son's affairs. Tears welled in her eyes as she implored, "Xinxin, Brother Song is not getting any younger. Since he has no intention of taking the imperial examinations, could you not encourage him to marry and start a family soon?" She dabbed at her tears, "Now, we don't even know if Brother Bo is alive or deceased; it's unlikely we'll ever see him again. Brother Huai is still young; our hopes rest on Brother Song."

"How can you even utter such words?" Dong Wenxiu, seated beside her, grew visibly displeased upon hearing this. "How did you raise your son? My daughter nearly fell ill, and now you appear here. Are you seeking to hold us accountable?"

"Sister, I meant no such thing."

"Then what did you imply?" Dong Wenxiu's voice escalated. "That is your son, not mine. Handle your own affairs, and cease coming here with your tears. Someone, escort her out." Her daughter was happily expecting, and she found the presence of tearful visitors, seeking out Xinxin for no valid reason, quite irritating.

Life is proceeding smoothly; why the need for wailing? Such misfortune seems to loom.

Yang Ruxin curled her lips slightly. Her mother had certainly adopted a more assertive demeanor, which was not a bad development!

"Sister-in-law, I truly did not intend it that way; it is entirely my fault." Feng Caie swiftly stifled her tears. "Sister-in-law, please do not be angry with me; I merely felt a moment of distress, and Brother Song refuses to heed my counsel."

Dong Wenxiu turned her head away, refusing to grant Feng Caie further attention.

"You claim he doesn't listen to you; do you truly believe he will listen to us?" Yang Ruxin inquired, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Brother Song possesses a resolute will."

"If you do not permit him to join the transport team..."

"Are you assigning blame to me now?" Yang Ruxin's countenance darkened. "Feng Caie, if I deny him passage with the transport team, should I instead allow him to journey alone? Very well, I shall refuse him outright. Should he encounter any misfortune traveling unescorted, then it shall be chalked up to his own ill luck."

"No!" Feng Caie promptly rose to her feet. "I was not assigning blame; I was merely voicing my thoughts. I shall take my leave now."

"Wait!" Yang Ruxin called out to Feng Caie, who was poised to depart. "Your words have served as a reminder; I am taking a considerable risk by allowing Yang Rusong to accompany my team. For what reason should I undertake such a burden?"
