At the entrance ahead, a figure approached from the backlight, making it hard to discern whether it was the brilliance of the light or the person who was too dazzling that, for a moment, clarity eluded the onlookers, until she stepped over the threshold and the light seemed to suddenly spill out, leaving just speckles trailing behind her.
Lady Du's eyes widened, trying to scrutinize the radiant young girl from head to toe, wondering what it was exactly that attracted the County Magistrate so much.
This County Magistrate of theirs, quite young and from a distinguished family, was yet to be married. For a son of such a family, a legitimate wife couldn't be someone of Miss Wufu's status, but if it were a lady whom men found desirable, becoming a noble consort could indeed be possible.
If Miss Wufu were aware of what Lady Du was thinking, she would likely burst out in anger, a noble consort? She would have to laugh out loud in disbelief.
