Bab 38: Chapter 38: What Sorcery has the Fourth Brother Used?

...

Standing before Wang Shouzhe was a middle-aged woman dressed with meticulous care. Her hair was adorned with a pearl hairpin, her wrist donned a jade bracelet, her feet in high-stepping cloud boots, and her body draped with an opulent multi-colored cloud-patterned silk dress, making her appear like a noblewoman from the city.

Furthermore, she had taken great pains with her makeup before her arrival, her face painted and lips lightly tinted crimson. She didn't look like someone in her forties at all, but rather like a mature beauty in her late twenties, a testament to her regular self-care. And her brother-in-law Wang Shouxin must dote on her quite a bit, spoiling her for sure.

It was just that her eyes were somewhat red, clearly having cried not long ago.

What was extremely rare was that she was also carrying a large bamboo basket, covered with a red cloth on top.
