Xiaohong had never been in a situation like this before, and her eyes immediately reddened with fright as she nodded repeatedly.
Xia Muqing moved her hand to her neck and used a little more force as a warning. She let go of Xiaohong when she began to struggle.
Xiaohong panted heavily. The suffocating feeling just now made her even more anxious.
Xia Muqing asked, "Was the child you mentioned brought back by a concubine two days ago?"
Only now did Xiaohong realize that Xia Muqing had overheard their conversation, and she nodded in fear.
Xia Muqing's expression turned cold and she asked, "Why did that child run?"
Xiaohong stammered, "Madam Liu wanted to offer that child to our master, but that child wasn't willing."
Xia Muqing frowned and subconsciously tightened her grip.
Frightened, Xiaohong hurriedly said, "I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth."
Xia Muqing asked again, "What do you mean by offering him to your master?"
