Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 776 - 775: Neither Human nor Ghost

Chapter 776: Chapter 775: Neither Human nor Ghost

Standing with Jiang Tao was an old lady dressed in loose black clothes.

Her hair was grizzled, and her face was covered with a black scarf, but even with her face covered, one could see the scars all over it.

It was not Long Xinghe, for the face had truly been injured, not disguised.

Feng Wuya stared intently at her face, that presence from before, it really seemed so familiar.

However, to his surprise, after he approached, the old woman seemed startled and hid behind Jiang Tao.

That fearful demeanor bore no trace of Star River’s character.

In his eyes, there was only despair.

"Prince, you... please don’t keep staring at her, it will scare her," Jiang Tao hurriedly said.

Only then did Feng Wuya realize he had been too intense and hastily averted his gaze, saying indifferently, "Sorry."

But this woman was not part of his entourage, so where did this old lady come from?

"This is..."

"Her name is Granny Jiang, she’s skilled in preparing medicines. My lady invited her to specifically blend medicines for the Prince."

Jiang Tao took a step forward, standing in front of Feng Wuya, completely blocking any gaze he might cast toward Granny Jiang.

"Prince, Granny Jiang... received facial injuries when she was young, and she... does not quite like socializing with others."

Feng Wuya could understand Granny Jiang’s mindset; having one’s appearance ruined and becoming so ugly, one would naturally avoid contact with others, fearing the discriminatory stares.

It’s just that, just a moment ago, he truly felt that this old woman had an aura that seemed so familiar...

Nevermind, how could it be?

"I apologize, Granny Jiang, I did not mean to offend you. I just... mistook you for someone else earlier."

"The Prince mistook someone?" Jiang Tao asked with some surprise, "Who did the Prince think... she was?"

Feng Wuya paused, momentarily at a loss for how to respond to this question.

After a long while, seeing that Granny Jiang seemed impatient and wanted to leave, he then looked at Jiang Tao.

This was not the first time he tentatively asked, "Did Miss Long... really return to Tengbei?"

Granny Jiang, seemingly lost in thought, moved back behind Jiang Tao again.

Jiang Tao quickly said, "It is indeed true. But please rest assured, Prince, I will certainly escort you until we find Mr. Wu Chenzi’s location."

Feng Wuya felt somewhat disappointed.

Without reason, he glanced at Granny Jiang again, "Granny... where do you live?"

"She lives with me," Jiang Tao said softly. "Prince, Granny has just arrived and is not yet familiar with our rules. Please don’t take offense. I’ll take her back to rest now."

With that, he paid his respects and walked away with Granny Jiang.

Because she was dressed so loosely, Feng Wuya could not discern Granny Jiang’s physique.

Looking at her, she didn’t particularly seem like an old woman, but her whitening hair and the disfigured face...

Upon seeing her, one couldn’t help but feel a mix of pity.

Jiang Tao did not stop but returned to the bedroom with Granny Jiang.

Reaching the door, Jiang Tao made sure Feng Wuya was not following before closing it and returning to Granny Jiang’s side.

"Master, are you truly... not planning to acknowledge him? But I can see the Prince has been longing for you," Jiang Tao said.

Granny Jiang, standing by the table, stiffened slightly.

"With my appearance like this, how could I acknowledge him?"

Granny Jiang removed the black scarf from her face, turned her head, looked at Jiang Tao, and gave a desolate smile.

"If you were in my place, would you acknowledge him and let him see you in this inhuman, ghostly state?"
