"Princess, you were looking for me?"
Shen Wanshang had summoned Chu Hanzhen by name, leaving her no choice but to appear. Her family lacked the courage to make an enemy of the Celestial Sea King.
Back when she supported the Celestial Sea King and the Child of Heaven's Will, Lu Yuan, Chu Hanzhen had visited Shen Wanshang's courtyard many times. She was not just familiar, but on friendly terms with many of the people there.
Now, however, upon her return, everyone looked at her as if she were a traitor. The crowd was furious, their eyes filled with contempt, indignation, and scorn. It made Chu Hanzhen quite awkward.
This was especially true when someone blocked her path to demand sorrowfully, "Aunt, why did you betray the Princess? Did your family order you to do it?"
The young woman blocking her path, Xie Jiao, bore a slight resemblance to Chu Hanzhen. She was the daughter of Chu Hanzhen's younger sister, who had married into the Xie Family.
