บท 176: Bai Xiu's Secret

At night, Xue Ji suddenly had an unusual visitor. It was Shen Jing's wife who rarely showed herself. The middle-aged woman brought some expensive and rare tea bags, which were given to her.

Xue Ji raised her eyebrows then and there. "Madam Shen, this is the first time you have come to see me in person," she said calmly.

Madam Shen smiled faintly. She looks beautiful even though she is no longer young. Her black hair was neatly styled. Her dress was very modest, like the wives of virtuous nobles.

"Miss Xue, I'm sorry that I didn't visit you sooner. Now that everyone has weathered the storm, it would be inappropriate if I didn't thank you." Madam Shen sounded polite and gentle.

"There's no need to thank me. I haven't helped your husband much," Xue Ji said indifferently.
