Looking at the disappearing back, Lin Xiner had a splitting headache!
The stubbornness of Si Er, exactly like hers, was impervious to power, wealth, or handsome men, truly making her difficult to handle. What should she do now?
Si Er, of course, had no idea of her inner turmoil. She was carried by several maids through layers of courtyards and then blindfolded before being placed into a soft sedan chair. The sedan swayed gently; initially, there was a suffocating stillness, followed after a long while by the sound of gurgling water. Not much later, the air around her nose felt clearer, with wafts of floral fragrance coming through, accompanied by the sounds of birds chirping. The sedan chair tilted slightly forward as if descending a slope.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
The face towel was then removed, and before she could adjust to the light, a voice spoke from beside her.
