章 33: 033 Surrendering in a deceptive manner

The carriage came to a halt accordingly, Zhang Xiao Hai, who was driving from the outside, spoke, "Young Master, the road is blocked by someone."

Gu Yang, engrossed in a book, frowned upon the interruption and wondered to himself, "Could it be her?"

He put the book down and peered beyond the curtain of the carriage to see a woman dressed in mourning clothes kneeling next to a corpse on the road ahead. There were four characters written on the ground: "Sell oneself for a father's burial."

The woman was extremely beautiful, not quite at the level of Su Qingzhen, but nonetheless, a rare beauty.

Someone of her looks showing up here in the middle of nowhere to sell herself for a father's burial, anyone would find that suspicious.

Zhang Xiao Hai quietly voiced his doubts, "Young Master, there might be something wrong with this woman."
