I have been lingering in this small town in Jiangnan for a month, yet I haven’t received even a hint of his message! I haven’t deliberately hidden my identity and I’ve been going to places that are easy to discover. With that guy’s abilities, it’s impossible that he still hasn’t found me!
Could something have happened? I can’t help but feel worried…
Looking at her outfit, I guessed she was either a matchmaker or a madam, with colorful clothes and a red flower, everything about her screaming ridiculous, and I couldn’t help but let out a “pfft” laugh!
“What are you laughing at?
The fat woman immediately opened her eyes suspiciously, her forehead wrinkles instantly bunching up, and the thick powder on her face “whoosh-whoosh” falling down due to her facial contortions.
I quickly came to my senses, subtly stepping back to avoid being caught in her powder explosion, and forced a smile, asking, “Auntie, are you okay?”
Unexpectedly, the woman glared and shrieked, “Auntie? Who are you calling auntie? Do I look that old?”
Seeing her trembling with anger, I quickly apologized, “Sorry, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. How could you look old? You’re probably just a few years older than me, right?”
The woman slightly calmed down, glaring at me, “At least you’re sensible. Move, move, don’t delay my business!”
Only then did I notice a girl of eleven or twelve behind her, wearing tattered clothes, pale-faced, continuously wiping tears with her sleeve. This reminded me of when I first arrived here, and I couldn’t help but ask, “Little sister, what happened? Why are you crying so sadly?”
I smiled casually: “Because I have no reason to lie to you, right? If Mother is not at ease, this girl can follow me back to Yixiao Tower and temporarily serve as my maid.
The madam pondered for a moment, then looked up and said: “Keeping you is indeed more worthwhile than keeping that girl. With your looks, with just a little styling, not to mention our entire state city, even in the entire Huanye Kingdom, there are probably few who can compare!”
I nodded satisfactorily: “Mother indeed has discerning eyes!”
