Zuo Xiangning held the handkerchief and went to the Eastern Ear Room, coming face-to-face with the Masked Man at the entrance.
She "hmmphed" and turned her face toward the courtyard.
"What's wrong with you?" the Masked Man blocked her way and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zuo Xiangning turned her head and glared at him, "Are you sick in the head? Do you enjoy seeing me make a fool of myself?"
"What's gotten into you?"
Seeing the man's eyes widen as if he was about to lose his temper, Zuo Xiangning got scared and hurried into the Eastern Ear Room.
She gently patted her chest.
She couldn't just because this man had no intention of hurting her, be reckless with him. If she provoked him too far and it resulted in her death, it would be a loss beyond recovery.
Zuo Xiangning wiped her face until it was red, struggling to clean it off completely.
After she left the Eastern Ear Room, she saw the Masked Man standing at the room's doorway, watching her.
