Chapter 332: True or False

Chun Lai abruptly grabbed Xiao Shilang's sleeve and slowly knelt at his feet.

Xiao Shilang's spine was straight as an arrow, and after a long while he forcefully shook her off, striding around the altar in the ancestral hall and climbing out through the back window. After he had left, the back window was left wide open and was never closed; it was obviously an opportunity for Chun Lai to escape.

Although the Xiao family was influential, if Xiao Shilang arranged a new identity for Chun Lai and let her choose to flee, it was by no means certain that the Xiao family would be able to find a woman of low status in the vast sea of people.

Chun Lai knelt for a long time before bending down to pick up the clothes Xiao Shilang had thrown on the ground, wrapping them tightly around herself and huddling by a column with no apparent intention of escaping.
