Chapter 43: Ye Hong Yao

Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu were shocked as they saw the scene unfold.

Then, the woman turned around and removed her head-cloak to reveal a charming and beautiful face. She appeared to be a 37-38 year-old woman. Her raised eyebrow gave-off a cold aura.

She looked towards Zhong Xiu with fiery eyes.

"I was out for my daily errands. But, I didn’t expect to meet such a fine treasure in this manner. What’s your name? Where do you live? Why was this person trying to kill you?" the woman murmured. Then, she asked Zhong Xiu the same questions in a pleasant manner. She didn’t even cast a second glance at Shi Mu who stood behind Zhong Xiu.

"Ma’am, my name is Xiu. I and my Big Brother used to live in the Feng City. But, we committed an offence against the Jin Family. So, we had no other choice but to escape from there that very night," Zhong Xiu loosened herself and answered truthfully. She had found this woman to be kind and amiable.
