Mei Wanying was carrying a child in her belly. Although it wasn't showing yet, she was terrified of being discovered.
She lived in seclusion, never taking a single step out the main gate.
Fortunately, the residence they had acquired was large enough for her to stroll through the gardens when she needed a distraction.

Though she was well-protected, Mei Wanying's heart was still unsettled.
'I'm afraid Pei Yan's men will appear again.'
'I'm also afraid someone is watching me in secret. If so, my pregnancy will be exposed sooner or later.'

Only now did she understand that whether the past could be left behind wasn't up to her. It depended on whether those people in the Capital City were willing to let her go.
