Min Ming took a deep breath, gripping the broom tightly in her hand.
Then, just as she turned to return to the manor, her gaze inadvertently swept across the alleyway.
She froze in place, clutching the broom tightly, trembling slightly.
Outsiders had come, and with them, trouble…
She saw that person walking toward her with steady steps, not saying a single word.
Min Ming bit her red lips hard and only when he stopped in front of the Min Manor did she speak, her voice quivering:
"Why is it you?"
"Miss Min, am I not allowed to come?" Chen Yi responded with a mocking smile.
Min Ming didn't know what to say. She had previously suspected Chen Yi might seek revenge, and was prepared for it, even following the empress dowager's instructions. But strangely, his revenge had never come.
Now seeing him again, an unexplainable urgency welled up within her. She gripped the broom tighter.
Chen Yi turned and was about to step into the Min Manor.
