"Wei Wife," Ran Yan had never seen her before, but the moment she laid eyes on her, she was certain that this woman must be Wei Wife.
Wei Wife stopped and slightly turned her body, speaking in a clear and indifferent tone, "You must be Ran Shiqi, a pleasure to meet you."
Such a woman, who seemed as if she had stepped out of an ink painting, so elegant and composed—it would be truly difficult to convince anyone she was a murderer without substantial evidence.

"Cui Mei..." As Ran Yan spoke the name, she saw Wei Wife’s body stiffen slightly, then said, "What is she to you?"
Wei Wife slowly closed her eyes, her rosy lips slightly parted, "Daughter, she’s my daughter."
