"You have no idea how I’ve survived these past few days. Ah, Sister Chang is really formidable. You don’t know, but she has a walking stick, just like an eagle claw, that grips one’s wrist so tightly, the more you struggle, the tighter it holds. Luckily, it can’t cause any real harm."
As he listened, Xia Zheng nodded and poured her a cup of tea, chuckling, "I’m familiar with that contraption."
As Lin Yuan took the teacup, she didn’t realize that her fingers were already unconsciously following Sister Chang’s instructions.
Although it was just a slight change, Xia Zheng noticed it and couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly. Feeling better, he became more talkative, "That walking stick was originally intended for Sister Chang’s self-defense."
Self-defense?
Lin Yuan’s interest was piqued, and forgetting to drink her tea, she blinked and asked him, "I discovered that the head of the walking stick can tighten, and when it does, it becomes as sharp as a sword, very lethal. But why would an old maid like her need such a formidable weapon? Could it be that someone covets her beauty and wants to abduct her?"
Upon finishing, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She must have listened to too much gossip, blurting out such a thought; how would anyone want to kidnap an old maid for her beauty?
"Sister Chang’s torment has turned me into a fool; I’m speaking without thinking."
