Yuan Cheng looked at Xie Zhinuan.
She hadn't expected that Xie Zhinuan would know that very impressive young master, and now even used him to protect herself.
If, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed to his wife's suggestion to hand over Xie Zhinuan to the Lord County Magistrate.
"I…" Yuan Cheng hesitated.
But Xie Zhinuan turned her head away and said to the chefs, "Thank you all for pleading for Zhinuan, but I will be leaving tomorrow and will never return to Zhao'an County. Take care, everyone!"
"Miss Xie, take care!"
Xie Zhinuan nodded.
She then turned and left with Yuan Liuwang.
Yuan Cheng watched as Xie Zhinuan walked away, and after a long while, he said, "We were wrong!"
Terribly wrong.
Some people, even if they fall into the dust, still shine brightly.
There will always be someone willing to go through fire and water for her.
