The news Madam Yuan received was undoubtedly accurate.
"And… was anyone injured?" Wei Ruo asked, concerned about Xu Zhengyong.
"In any battle between armies, injuries and casualties are inevitable. But don’t worry, your father is fine, just lightly injured." Madam Yuan replied.
"Did any other generals get injured?" Wei Ruo asked further.
"That, I’m not sure about," Madam Yuan admitted. The information she had received wasn’t that detailed.
Wei Ruo felt a bit disappointed and thought she might send someone back to Xingshan County later to find out more.
Madam Yuan continued, "I also heard that a major general surnamed Xu performed exceptionally well this time. He led a small team over Wangyue Mountain, launched a surprise attack on the enemy forces, and even captured the leader of the invading Japanese pirates, earning great merit."
A major general surnamed Xu—that must be Brother Yong!
"Was he injured?" Wei Ruo asked eagerly.
"Probably not. I only heard about his achievements, not that he was seriously injured. Even if he was hurt, it should only be a minor injury," Madam Yuan reassured her.
Wei Ruo was overjoyed. "That’s good, that’s good."
"I came not only to bring you this good news but also to ask if you’d like to send someone ahead to Xingshan County so you can celebrate with your father properly." Madam Yuan suggested.
“No need for that. Knowing about the victory is enough. There's no need to celebrate, especially since there were quite a few casualties. My father likely wouldn’t want to throw a big celebration,” Wei Ruo explained.
“That’s true,” Madam Yuan agreed. “But still, a victory is something to be happy about. Although fighting the Japanese pirates has almost become routine, people still carry a lot of worries in their hearts. My husband has been troubled by this for a long time. Only with a victory can everyone have a peaceful New Year.”
Afterward, Madam Yuan chatted with Wei Ruo for quite some time, enjoyed the candied fruits, dried fruits, and braised meats at Wei Ruo’s place during their talk.
It wasn’t until someone from the prefect’s yamen came to inform Madam Yuan that her son Sheng’er had woken from his nap and was looking everywhere for his mother that she finally left.
After she left, Wei Ruo quickly wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Xingshan County at top speed to confirm Brother Xiayong’s condition.
Although Madam Yuan’s description made Wei Ruo think it was likely Brother Xiao Yong, she still wanted to confirm it for peace of mind.
The next day, however, what arrived wasn’t a letter, but Xu Zhengyong himself.
“Brother Xiaoyong!” Xiumei ran up excitedly, examining Xu Zhengyong from head to toe.
She immediately noticed one of Xu Zhengyong’s hands was wrapped in white cloth and hurriedly asked, “What happened? Is your hand broken? Quick, let Miss take a look!”
“It’s not broken, just a small wound,” Xu Zhengyong quickly replied.
“What small wound! If it doesn’t heal properly, it could still be dangerous. Let Miss take a look!” Xiumei grabbed Xu Zhengyong’s uninjured arm and dragged him toward Wei Ruo.
“It’s really nothing, and I’ve already used medicine,” Xu Zhengyong explained hurriedly.
Seeing how worried Xiu Mei was, Xu Zhengyong smiled and teased, “Junior sister, you care about me so much. Are you planning to call me senior brother?”
At these words, Xiumei immediately let go and glared at him. “In your dreams! You’re lucky I’m not hitting you! And you still want me to call you senior brother?”
“Why would you hit me? I’ve made military achievements!” Xu Zhengyong asked innocently.
“You’re still talking about that! Why didn’t you tell us beforehand about leading the team on a surprise attack? That was so dangerous! If you hadn’t coordinated well with the main troops, you could’ve lost your life!”
"And… was anyone injured?" Wei Ruo asked, concerned about Xu Zhengyong.

Xiumei, how could he tell you something like that? They needed to act immediately and leaking information to anyone outside is dangerous.😅
