Someone nearby commented, "Hey, that girl banging the drum is really ugly, with a dark face full of pockmarks. One glance is more than enough; nobody would want to take a second look."
"But, who knows what injustice she must have suffered to actually sound the Drum of Public Notice? She looks so thin and short, seems like she doesn't have much strength. Enduring ninety beatings is something even we adults can't withstand, let alone her. I'm afraid that before the Senior Official from the Department of Surveillance even steps out, she'll be beaten senseless."
Zhi Chen and Shu Yu exchanged glances.
Dark with a face full of pockmarks, skinny, and short?
These... these features, they sound eerily like that woman from the Liang family, don't they?
Zhi Chen's expression became somewhat subtle, pondering if he might be overthinking it?
