"Last night, I wanted to take my wife back to Willow Village, but it was raining heavily. I was worried that the road would be slippery and dangerous, so I stayed in my shop in Wangshan Town for a night.
"Sir, you can ask the vendors or customers around my shop. When I carried my wife from the shop to the carriage in the morning, many people saw us."
Zhao Zhan had rehearsed this speech countless times in his mind last night.
He would never lie, but as long as he thought of the delicate person who needed to be protected, he would do anything and everything to keep her safe.
Last night, after discovering that his lover had gone missing, he and Fang Tianliu made a move to leave Huai County. After all, news traveled fast.
If the two women had really disappeared overnight and were only found later on, who knew what others would say?
How could he give others the chance to make up stories about Yue Jiaojiao?
