Those words left Wang Dong'er feeling awful.
Just then, Xu Sanshi tried to get to the bottom of things again.
"Dong'er, Zhuang Lao said Yuhao suffered some kind of shock. What kind? You two were alone together at the time, so you should know better than anyone what happened, right?"
"I don't know..."
Wang Dong'er couldn't bring herself to say it.

Wang Dong'er shook off her
