Mingshu calmly met the gazes of everyone present, her expression void of any trace of evasion or fear.
Although she wore a mask over her face, perhaps because of the lasting impression her last speech had made, someone in the crowd recognized her, and a subtle restlessness began to stir.
With Si Chu standing by her side, Mingshu was not worried that these restless townsfolk would suddenly lunge at her.
Seeing the crowd quiet down, she scanned her eyes around before continuing, "I'm sure you all remember me; I am Shen Ningshu, the Governor of the Northern Zhenfu."
Mingshu was now able to impersonate Lord Shen, whom she had never met before, with an almost effortless flair.

A murmur of noise rose up again.
