"Could it be someone's purchased bride?" Lin Caisang asked.
Since it was not possible that she came from another village, there was only one possibility left—that this young girl was someone's purchased bride in their village, kept hidden at home, and somehow managed to escape tonight.
However, due to her panic, she ended up running here.
"Madam, this young girl looks so small, like a baby sprout, who would buy such a young girl as a bride?" one of her subordinates asked, his words brimming with slight disdain.
"She must be around my age." Lin Caisang retorted.
"Uh..."
That subordinate was rendered speechless.
The madam's words made it seem like he was voicing criticism about her. He stealthily glanced at their own master, only to find his gaze fixed on Lin Caisang.
He had brought this awkwardness upon himself.
