"Brother Hu Ma seemed young, but his actions were very steady."
As a slight doubt crept into Hu Ma's heart, the girl named Wu He also looked over.
In this world, women were mostly shy. Even the widows in the village would steal glances at men, but she seemed quite bold.
Her gaze scrutinized Hu Ma's face very thoroughly, sizing him up while pushing a cup of tea towards him. Smiling, she said, "I see it all the time."
"And the time you helped deal with the evil spirit in the Manor, Datong told me about it. I really admire you!"
...
It really was her...
Feeling her gaze, Hu Ma reaffirmed his suspicion. She was indeed the one who constantly hid and observed him from her room, and she didn't even bother to hide it in her words.
This only fueled his curiosity further. He glanced at her, but with the Shopkeeper nearby, it was not appropriate to look more.
