As the crowd grew larger by the second, all seeming to demand an explanation from Ye Chutang, the carriage driver looked back nervously. "Second Miss, what do we do now?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.
If this continued, he was afraid it wouldn't end well!
But there was no panic in Ye Chutang's eyes. She simply lowered her gaze to look at Xiao Wu in her arms.
Xiao Wu clung to her, and the steady rhythm of her big sister's heartbeat gradually dispelled her own anxiety and fear.
She wasn't really bothered by the people outside the carriage, but… her big sis was being framed.
Xiao Wu was not happy.
Her little, chubby face was taut. She glanced at Ye Shixian and started to stand up, intending to shield her big sis with her own body.
Ye Chutang noticed the movement, and the faintest hint of a smile touched her eyes.
She gently patted Xiao Wu. "Don't worry. Big Sis has a way to handle this."
