At this moment, the wind stopped.
The entire long street was engulfed in a suffocating silence, where even heartbeats halted.
It was unclear whether it was due to the mention of "Miss Yu" or because of the phrase—"the true origin".
After a long time, Shang Ruyi finally heard a soft chuckle coming from the carriage, but this time, the laughter was devoid of the confidence of having everything under control and the arrogance when facing insignificance, instead, it carried a hint of sadness and helplessness, which she clearly perceived.
After the laughter, the voice said, "What did you call me?"
Shang Ruyi slightly raised her chin and calmly repeated, "Miss Yu."
The other person chuckled lightly again, "If your news is enough, you should know that Lady Yu has already returned to her family home with Miss Yu due to the plague ravaging the city."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Of course I know, Lady Yu and Miss Bright Pearl have already left."
"Oh?"
