Leave Me Some Face

After leaving the Chu Manor, Xiao Miaorong and Xiao Baoxin parted ways. Before they left, Xiao Miaorong whispered,

"I went to see my sister-in-law yesterday. She's so thin that she doesn't look like a human anymore. She said that she was frightened on the road and now had nightmares every night. She couldn't eat well, sleep well, and catch a cold."

The two of them did not have a chance to talk for a while, so they only took the opportunity to talk as they walked.

When Xiao Miaorong thought of Madam Cai, she felt quite pitiful.

Madam Cai was still alright. She had finally returned alive. She would recuperate in the future. However, after hearing what she had seen and heard on the road, Xiao Miaorong realized that the area outside Jiankang City was in chaos.
