Chapter 509: The Characteristics of Three Women

Li Ruanyu was still looking at Zhao Chi with a strange expression.

It was the height of summer, yet Li Ruanyu was still wearing her work clothes.

A pair of long legs were exposed outside.

Thin stockings wrapped her pale legs, faintly visible.

She could feel the gazes passersby cast her way from time to time, but someone staring in a daze like Zhao Chi was quite rare.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Chi quickly stood up.

If he kept sitting, her legs would still be right in front of him.

Zhao Chi really was, as he said, looking at the stockings on her legs.

On one hand, he needed to confirm whether those pale-yellow stockings were ones he had made.

Once he confirmed it, his thoughts began to spin uncontrollably.

His stockings had only ever been sold on Dense Fragrance Food Street.

Even if Li Ruanyu had been to Dense Fragrance Food Street, that wouldn't be strange.

But...

Earlier, that women's clothing shop owner Shopkeeper Wanyan had said she gave away all these stockings and never sold them.

Moreover, she said they were given to friends inside Dense Fragrance Food Street.

Although Shopkeeper Wanyan hadn't said so outright, it was obvious they were given to the internal management.

And these management personnel were people who directly confronted the nobles.

Although they did it to protect Dense Fragrance Food Street, by noble standards, they were a resistance army.

If that was the case, where did the stockings on Li Ruanyu's legs come from?

Given to her by Shopkeeper Wanyan?

Or given by Shopkeeper Wanyan to the resistance army, who then gave them to Li Ruanyu?

So Li Ruanyu... was connected to the resistance army?

Or was she simply part of the resistance army herself?

But, in his memory, Li Ruanyu also had connections with the nobles.

What the hell a contradiction.

And there was no way to ask about it.

Li Ruanyu crossed her arms and tilted her head.

"You were just staring at my legs, and now you're staring at my face—what's wrong with you?"
