Zuo Xiangning's heart stirred, the one covering her mouth was actually Lingxiao.
"Aunt Zuo said that if... if I made that child disappear, she would take my life," the maid's voice was barely audible as she sobbed, "No matter whom I listen to, my life is definitely over. Please take me and run away quickly..."
Zuo Xiangning's eyes went wide as she turned her head to look at the man behind her.
The man's other large hand wrapped around her waist.
"Don't talk." His hot breath sprayed into her ear.
Zuo Xiangning averted her gaze and calmly removed the hand from her mouth.
"I'll wait for you at the West Corner Gate at the hour of Hai." A man's voice rose, "I need to go to the front courtyard now, it would be bad if someone discovered me later."
"Then you must remember to come for me," the woman trembled as she spoke, "If you don't come, I'll surely be dead."
"Rest assured, I'll definitely be there," the man said, "Don't bring too much stuff."
"I know, I'll go back and pack now."
