She was ignorant of how she'd triggered Shangguan Wan, but this child hugged her waist and buried her head there, crying out loudly.
Jiang Pengji was stunned, immediately sensing something amiss.
Shangguan Wan was indeed active and had a warm personality, but it didn't mean that she didn't practice the etiquette of the noble families.
Thus, even if this lady was so broken that she would cry pitifully, it was impossible that she'd give no regard to her image.
Shuangguan Wan was aware of her gender, but others weren't.
If word got out that she had hugged a man outside of her family in public and cried her lungs out, she would be mocked for being shameless.
Moreover, she had come in with the troops from Hejian county to the Xiangyang district. That alone was very intriguing.
Even if Shuangguan Wan was mischievous, it was impossible for her to run away from home.
