Likely as Shiao Shiao, who had served her master from a young age, had never seen blood in her life.
She was quite frightened.
Gu Shengyin comforted her, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
She continued helplessly, "It seems that we cannot have the big meal I promised you. In my current state, I'm afraid no place would dare let me in."
Indeed, in these troubled times, no one would dare to let someone covered in blood enter, even if that person appeared to be a frail woman.
"Excuse me, miss." A hesitant voice called out from behind them.
It was the madam who had her bag stolen earlier.
Gu Shengyin turned her head, having been too far away earlier to see clearly. Now, upon a closer look, she understood why that man had targeted this madam.
The madam was about thirty years old, dressed in a jade-green cheongsam, and draped in a pure white fur stole.
Jade green is a challenging color that can easily make one look dull and colorless.
But clearly, this madam had no such trouble.
