As night falls over the city, the sound of bells and drums echoes in the distance in Jiangnan Mansion, making people's hearts tense.
Dai Wanyin wrapped her old cloak tightly and hurried through the winding alley. The night rain was slightly cool, her bun was already messy, her skirt was stained with mud, and she stumbled with every step.
There were faint footsteps coming from behind, mixed with a few fierce shouts: "Search quickly! That bitch can't run far!"
Dai Wanyin gritted his teeth and did not dare to look back. His heart beat like a drum in his chest, but his eyes were calm.
She knew that if she was captured that night, all she would have waiting for her would be a red sedan chair, a divorce note, and a lifetime of imprisonment.
There are faint lights at the end of the alley, which are the stalls of the night market that have not yet dispersed. Dai Wanyin took a quick glance, thinking in his mind, paused slightly, and suddenly opened the curtain of a dilapidated tea shed.
The pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer, almost jumping in front of her.
At this moment, a figure in the corner of the tea shed moved slightly.
The man was dressed in commoner clothes and looked like a drinker, but his features and eyes, illuminated by the lights, carried a hint of coldness that did not belong to the fireworks of this world.
He lazily raised his eyes, tilted the wine cup in his hand slightly, and blocked the pursuers behind Dai Wanyin: "My lords, it's a cold rainy night, why don't you go with a glass of warm wine before leaving?"
The voice was calm, but it made people's hearts stagnate inexplicably.
Dai Wanyin's heart trembled, and she raised her head to look at the man - at this glance, she knew that she might have encountered the key to saving her life.
Purpose: I hope to make everyone feel peaceful and warm
