Tao Yu paused, noticing her doubts, and cleared her throat with a stern face: “Although I have no family backing here, I was properly married to the city lord. Now, because of someone else’s matter, I’m left alone early in the morning, which I naturally don’t accept. I want to ask the city lord directly – am I important, or is a dead person important!”
She deliberately raised her voice at the end, startling the maidservant.
As the maidservant hastily agreed, her previous doubts dissipated. She had thought the madam was acting strange because of Young Master Zhou, but now it seemed to be about the city lord… Wait, there didn’t seem to be anything to be happy about.
The maidservant carefully glanced at Tao Yu, seeing her displeased expression, and hurriedly turned to make arrangements, sympathizing with the city lord while also fearing that Tao Yu’s anger might implicate her.
Tao Yu, seeing that she had convinced the maidservant, inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly warned herself not to lose control. This was a new world, and she had no connection to this NPC named Zhou Ying. Even if she were to investigate, she must restrain herself.
With these thoughts, she went outside to wait for the carriage. The maidservant quickly brought the carriage and driver to the door. After Tao Yu got in, she told the driver: “To the government office.”
“Yes, Madam,” the driver immediately drove towards the government office.
Tao Yu sat alone in the carriage, her brow gradually furrowing. From previous worlds, she could see that Zhou Ying was like an unkillable boss, who could survive even when nearly defeated, sometimes not dying even if a sub-personality perished.
However, she had just arrived in this world a few days ago, had just met Zhou Ying once, and he had suddenly drowned. Why? Tao Yu’s first thought was about the abnormal death of sub-personalities.
Several sub-personalities dying abnormally, with their mental worlds consequently perishing – no one knew what had happened or what phenomena occurred before their deaths. Tao Yu knew she must be extremely vigilant to prevent any potential issues.
