"Sir, you must be kidding," Jiang Chao pretended to be a henchman. "How could we attract your attention as we are average-looking, sir?"
"It's true." The officer's eyes fell on Qingqiu who had disguised herself as a peasant woman. "Can your woman not be exposed to the sunlight?"
"No, she's never seen the world and is quite timid," Jiang Chao hastened to explain, while pinching Qingqiu's hand on the sly. She was a rich young lady who had seen nothing of life. She was good enough at acting, though, as she didn't quake with fear or give anything away.
Qingqiu broke out in a cold sweat, she kept thinking of the next step. What can I do? He knew her, as she was his wife before, and while she might be able to muddle through the others, he could recognize her.
What can I do?
She was so anxious that her clothes were damp with her sweat, and when she was about to scream out because of the torment, she heard a woman shouting crazily.
