Bab 71: Chapter 71 Camouflage_1

Zhulan genuinely felt sorry for Madame Zhao. Without a proper background to protect her outstanding beauty, it was a disaster, compounded by natural calamities forcing people to flee. Humanity showed its bottomless cruelty time after time, requiring one to guard not just against strangers but also against one's own relatives. Madame Zhao's beauty was her curse, and her fate was almost certain to be sold into some filthy place. She could only disguise herself. Crying was an excellent camouflage since no one liked a tear-stained face during times of natural and human disasters. Madame Zhao thus protected herself, but the disguise had been worn for so long, it had seeped into her bones.
