After Shen Juhua finished her prayers, the look of devotion had completely disappeared. Smiling brightly, she said to the maid, "Xiao Kui, let's go!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Xiao Kui, wearing a sullen expression, gathered their belongings, slung the basket over her arm, and accompanied the Miss outside. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw a strange man, worn and weary, standing there. He was staring at the Miss with a shocked expression—an unusual mix of astonishment, excitement, pain, and repression. All in all, his emotions appeared incredibly complex!
Xiao Kui, witnessing this, thought they had encountered a bandit. Quickly stepping in front of the Miss, she snapped at Mo Zili, "Who are you to behave so rudely? Do you even know that my Miss is the daughter of the county magistrate? If my Old Master finds out you dared to fix your gaze on her, he'll dig out those eyeballs of yours…"
"Xiao Kui!"
