Meanwhile.
On the ship following behind Song Chongjin, a family was about to have dinner.
A middle-aged merchant with a paunch sat up top, shoveled down a couple bites of food before suddenly realizing there was an extra person at the table today?
It was his daughter.
He couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this girl usually having her meals sent to her room? Why is she out here today?"
The young girl sitting below was originally distracted, fiddling with her chopsticks in her bowl for a long while without really eating anything.
Upon hearing her father's question, she cautiously probed, "Father, you went today with gifts to visit that official aboard his ship to express gratitude. Did that official accept them?"
