Xiao Yue swallowed hard.
No, she only wanted to sneak out, see Uncle Ma for one last time. But after she sneaked out, she herself was not sure if she would be able to come back again.
Seeing that Xiao Yue did not answer, Yu Fen quickly assumed that she guessed right. Horrified, she grabbed her young lady's hands and urgently said, "Young Lady, you cannot! Do you not understand the circumstance of your marriage? If... if you run away, everyone will be executed!"
Blood drained from Xiao Yue's face.
"Yu Fen... what do you mean? Why executed?"
Yu Fen almost cried when she heard this question.
"Master is in a difficult predicament right now because there were some pieces of evidence that pointed out that he committed treason. Young Lady, your marriage is the only reason why your family is spared from execution. If you run away, everyone will die. Everyone will die!"
