Feng Qingtian didn’t say anything else. In any case, whatever should happen tonight would happen.

Gu Bailu cursed Feng Qingtian the whole night.

The next day, Gu Bailu dragged her exhausted body out to see Qian’er.

Qian’er didn’t look well. Being bullied by Lu Fenying was still a small thing; the worst thing about this matter was that she couldn’t see her future.

She was weak to begin with, and she hadn’t recovered even after a long night.

Gu Bailu couldn’t help but curse. “Lu Fenying is a beast.”

Qian’er had just escaped death. She was so weak that even talking to her tired her out. How could Lu Fenying still ravage her like this?

It was impossible to say that he had feelings for Qian’er.

“I really suspect that he’s a beast who loves sick women.”

Otherwise, how could he be so out of control with a weak woman?

Qian’er shook her head. “There’s something wrong with his mind. He takes pleasure in abusing people.”

Qian’er’s eyes were gloomy and lifeless. Even the determination from yesterday was gone.

Lu Fenying could really break a person’s heart.

“I’m here to tell you…” Gu Bailu looked around before she whispered in Qian’er’s ear, “I can help you with your slave mark, but we have to get out of here first.”

Qian’er’s eyes glowed again. “Really? Master, do I really have a chance at freedom?”

“Yes. Don’t lose hope, no matter what. The more depressed you are, the more you’ll fall into his trap.” Gu Bailu touched her forehead. “Rest well. Su Muwei will take action in a couple of days.”

Qian’er nodded. “Thank you, master. To meet you is the luckiest thing to ever happen to me.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at your mouth. Not only is it pretty, it’s also good at talking. I love it when people compliment me,” said Gu Bailu shamelessly.

Qian’er chuckled. “I want to learn from my master.”

“Tch. Do you know what Lu Fenying told me? He told me not to teach you how to be like me. What’s wrong with my personality? He doesn’t know how to appreciate it…” Gu Bailu was angry when she mentioned what Lu Fenying said last night.

“He’s always had a poisonous tongue. He can scold people and make them want to die. He used to be even worse,” Qian’er said frankly.

Lu Fenying didn’t have a good temper and was very impatient. He could get violent at the drop of a hat.

His words were as sharp as swords, and could pierce you with mind-numbing pain.

His ruthless nature was due to his mother throwing him into a pack of wolves to grow up back then.

He himself knew that this wasn’t a good thing. After all, he was a noble and the son of the emperor. If he was going to be ruthless, he could at least be civilized about it.

So, he listened to music, learned the zither, and painted.

He was already a lot better now.

“Let’s not talk about him. You’ll soon have nothing to do with him anyway. Just hold on for a few more days. I’ll think of a way to make Su Muwei hurry up.”

Gu Bailu walked out of the main courtyard and ran into Lu Fenying at the door. His face was awful, and he looked at Gu Bailu like she was his nemesis.

Gu Bailu thought that he was crazy and left.

When she saw the butler, she couldn’t help but call out to him. “What’s wrong with your crown prince today? He seems to hate me.”

The butler rubbed his forehead and said, “Princess Zi, you better keep your distance from the crown prince for the next few days. I heard that the crown prince was mocked by a bunch of nobles during the morning audience today. They said that he didn’t even want a city in exchange for a maid…”
