"Were you with the young madam all day today?"
"Yes, the master commanded it. I have meticulously carried out his orders since the young madam left the house this morning. I have been following her all day." The thin man in black kneeling on the ground answers respectfully.
"Did the young madam encounter King Rui today?"
"Yes! The young madam was walking up a mountain and met with King Rui halfway. However, she chose to ignore him, yet he persisted. During the encounter, the young madam almost fell from the mountain path. King Rui was behind her at the time, so I couldn't intervene. Luckily, the young madam made a quick turn and used a pine tree on the edge of the path to break her fall. She didn't let King Rui get his way." The man in black answers in clear and detailed fashion. He paused then added, "But I noticed that the young madam's hand should have been scraped a bit, but it wasn't serious."
Jiang Shu's fingers curled subtly upon hearing this.
