Old Deng watched as Qing Luan and her group approached, and one among them captured his gaze.
It was none other than Lin Cheng.
This guard from Duke Zhen's Mansion had just left, so why had he come back now?
Moreover, looking at Lin Cheng's appearance, the several ladies following him were all from Duke Zhen's Mansion.
Could it be for Liunian?
Old Deng couldn't help but speculate.
But the next moment, he discarded his guess as Lin Cheng did not even glance in their direction; he merely swept his gaze over them and then looked away.
At the same time, the woman named Qing Luan, who Liunian mentioned, seemed to hear someone calling her and looked over with a puzzled expression.
On the surface, it did not seem like they had come for Liunian.
Of course, it could all be an act.
But in Old Deng's opinion, there was no need for people from the Duke's Mansion to put on such a show just for a beggar like Liunian.
