The townspeople emerged from their hiding places, watching as Chuzheng floated lightly onto the riverbank.
Their eyes were filled with caution, anger, and resentment... However, as Chuzheng had previously taken action, no one dared to approach her and cause trouble.
Only Lord Yuh, who had lost Yuh Lian, encircled her with his people.
"Chuzheng, I adopted you, gave you food and clothing, and this is how you repay me!! You ungrateful wretch!!"
Chuzheng brushed down her clothes: "Lord Yuh, what was your true intention when you adopted me? Are you truly oblivious?"
Back then, Lord Yuh took her in because the original owner was beautiful and kept her as a backup option.
Lord Yuh's face turned livid, but he still persisted, "If I hadn't adopted you, you'd have been dead long ago!"
"How do you know I'd have been dead long ago?" Before meeting Lord Yuh, the original owner lived a bit of a rough life, but she was far from starving and homeless.
