Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

226 Don“t Let Anyone Else Bully Her

The maid was almost crying. “Prince Zi, my lady’s head is bleeding. She hasn’t been well since being heavily injured last time. She came here today to ask you to accompany her to the herbal spring at the Manor of the Herb King…”

“Summon the doctors,” Feng Qingtian ordered calmly.

He didn’t feel regret, and was only upset, when he saw Nan Ningxin like this.

That wasn’t right. He wasn’t an unfaithful man.

However, that was exactly what he was now.

Was it true that men became ruthless when they fell in love with someone else?

A doctor soon came. He sighed after the examination. “Miss Murong is too weak. She hasn’t recovered yet. I told Mrs. Murong that she needed the herbal spring at the Manor of the Herb King…”

Feng Qingtian glanced at him. “Then, why was she not sent there?”

The maid replied, her voice trembling, “My lady… my lady wanted you to go with her… After all, she’s only an adopted daughter of the Murong family…”

Not everybody could enjoy the herbal spring at the Manor of the Herb King.

Built after spending a fortune, it was reserved for the royal family.

However powerful the Murong family was, it didn’t dare compete with the royal family.

Besides, she was only an adopted daughter.

Feng Qingtian felt guilty and irritated again.

“I’ll send her to the herbal spring.” Feng Qingtian looked at Nan Ningxin, who was pale, and walked out of the room.

He told Ye Ying in the yard, “Check why Gu Bailu still hasn’t returned. Send a few more men to her. You may first execute whoever is mean to her, and report later.”

“Yes, sir. Are you going far away?” Ye Ying asked.

She wouldn’t dare ask if she hadn’t been told to attend to Miss Gu. She needed to know her lord’s whereabouts in case Miss Gu asked.

“Tell her that I’ll be at the Manor of the Herb King and that I’ll return soon.”

He didn’t want to leave. His plan was to play with the wild cat tonight.

But he couldn’t just leave Nan Ningxin alone.

“Understood.”

Ye Ying left the house and soon found Gu Bailu in the clothes store.

Gu Bailu was grinning ecstatically as she counted money behind the counter.

She had earned a lot. The clothes from Prince Zi’s house had boosted the sales of the other clothes. The money earned today equaled a month’s worth of her revenue in the past.

“I’m going to be rich. I love women who like pretty clothes.” Gu Bailu kissed the money and put it in the box.

Gold and silver indeed felt good. She didn’t like notes at all.

The Ye guards complained inwardly: How could they explain it to their lord now that she had sold the clothes so cheaply?

“Miss Gu,” Ye Ying called out and walked in. The Ye guards brightened and looked at her as if she was their lifesaver.

“Sister Ying, you’re here. Miss Gu sold all of the clothes that our lord gave her.”

One of the guards immediately reported.

Gu Bailu threw a tael of silver at his head. “What a snitch.”

The guard, having no courage to duck, simply let the silver hit his head.

Ye Ying was rather cool. “We can prepare more. Were you not satisfied with the clothes, Miss Gu?”
