In Madam Gong's courtyard, Jiang Hao didn't see Mi Lingyue and the old woman. They might have left already.
The woman had changed. She was elegantly dressed and looked very beautiful.
When she saw him approaching, her demeanor was different from before.
She didn't show the same respect. She looked confused.
"It seems like you don't recognize me anymore." Jiang Hao pushed the door open and smiled.
In reality, her strength far exceeded his, and he should not be so disrespectful. However, the events from earlier had taught him not to appear weak, as it might affect their conversation.
Madam Gong sat in a chair. Her brows were furrowed.
She genuinely couldn't recognize the person in front of her.
"May I ask who you are?" she asked softly.
Jiang Hao sighed. "I'll show you something. Perhaps it will help you remember."
With that, he tossed a purple bead to her. "I'm returning this to its rightful owner."
