Padon City was just as flourishing as the capital. While the capital was filled with officials and nobles, Padon City was filled with the wealthy.
Two women in ragged garments pulled along a very crude cart as they walked. There was something covered with a straw mat on the cart and the only thing of it that was visible were two dirty feet. It only took one glance to figure out that it was a corpse that was lying below the straw mat.
Everyone instinctive avoided the two of them.
The two pulling the cart were Ning Shu and Yue Lan, and the person pretending to be dead was the big brother hidden guard.
Ning Shu was exhausted. She glanced around, then chose to stop at a very busy part of the street. Following that, she worked with Yue Lan to carry the hidden guard off the cart and place him on the street. Afterwards, she took out a wooden sign that had the words, ‘selling self for father’s funeral expenses.’
>Selling self = selling yourself into servitude, not prostitution.
