Yu Feng sat up straight and bore with the pain on her lower abdomen. "It wasn't my intention to lie about my gender. At that time, it was them who had misunderstood my gender. I simply went along with them. It was an officer who created this identity for me."
Meeting Madam Gu's piercing gaze, Yu Feng grew flustered. She took a deep breath and calm down.
Yu Feng knew that at this point it would not help her situation to lie to the General's wife. Moreover, if Madam Gu was indeed someone who was familiar with her grandmother, then perhaps she would be able to help her to find out the truth and clear up her family's name.
In the end, Yu Feng chose to tell the madam about the first time she met Xiao Qi and the others and what made her continue to hide her identity from them.
Madam Gu sat at the side as she listened carefully to the girl's story. Her face did not show any expression, but only she knew the turbulence in her heart.
