After leaving Liu Xianzhang's residence, Lian Bao's complexion appeared as usual, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly, his heart feeling both icy and blazing.
Indeed, he was the "Mr. Wu" referred to by that sly fox Liu Xianzhang; Mr. Wu was just his alias.
In a low voice, he said to Uncle Ma who was waiting outside, "Uncle, help me onto the carriage, let's hurry…"
Seeing that something was amiss with him, Uncle Ma quickly came over to assist, and once he had helped Lian Bao onto the horse, he drove the carriage away slowly into the distance.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in soft cloth, making their movement on the quiet road not at all conspicuous.
Lian Bao, now leaning against the carriage's soft pillows, finally revealed a pale countenance, and his body was so limp it had lost all strength.
Since childhood, he had the weakest constitution among his siblings, not even comparable to his youngest sister, let alone his brothers.
