Hua Manman was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a cat's meow.
MEOW!
'Manman, someone's coming!'
Hua Manman was jolted awake.
She opened her eyes to see Little Flower crouching beside her head, its two ears pricked high, looking very wary.
Hua Manman opened a hidden compartment, took out a dagger, and hid it in her sleeve. Then she reached out to push open the carriage door.
The door opened slowly, and she saw Ah Qi standing beside the carriage.
Ah Qi's right hand was still hovering in mid-air.
He seemed taken aback that the door would suddenly open. After a brief pause, he explained.
"I saw your husband and father-in-law go into the woods just now, but I haven't seen them return. There are many wild beasts in there. I was worried they might be in danger, so I came specifically to tell you."
Hua Manman stuck her head out to look.
A quick glance confirmed that Li Ji and Li Liao were nowhere in sight.
Just then, Yue Niang woke up too.
