Chapter 441: Truly Naive
Chu Qingchuan’s eyes instantly shot wide open. “The Al-almighty Castle?”
She heard that the Castle Master of the Almighty Castle was the richest man in Donghua, but nobody has ever seen his actual face. She heard that he’s extraordinarily ugly, and he often got bored of the old. He would have a new woman after another and he would even frequently change his furniture around. He might be rich, but his temper was terrible.
Wait a minute! Did that maid just call her, ‘ninety-ninth concubine’?
Chu Qingchuan was instantly left so stunned that she couldn’t move an inch.
“Ninety ninth concubine,” repeated Sui’er.
Chu Qingchuan seemed to have all of a sudden been hit by lightning. She was frightened stiff and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes at the thought of how the ugly castle master had sullied her body last night. “Why do I live such a brutal life? I want to marry the most beautiful man in the world, but how did I end up marrying the ugliest man?!”
Sui’er’s body tensed up. This concubine speaks very bluntly.
“Ninety ninth concubine, from now on, you must never speak ill of the castle master. Otherwise, if people with ill intentions overheard you and told the castle master, you’ll suffer because the castle master hates being called ugly the most,” exhorted Sui’er.
Chu Qingchuan immediately covered her little mouth and replied, “Sui’er, you mustn’t tell the castle master!”
Sui’er nodded promptly. “Don’t worry, Ninety-ninth concubine. I am your maid from now on, so I’ll naturally be considerate of you.”
Chu Qingchuan clearly let out an exhale, then asked, “Sui’er, tell me. How do you escape this place?”
Sui’er was instantly left stunned. “Ninety-ninth concubine, you are already the castle master’s woman. Where else do you want to go? What’s more, no concubine can possibly leave the castle.”
Chu Qingchuan heard what Sui’er said and her tears came pouring down. “What should I do? Who can tell me what to do?”
Sui’er looked at Chu Qingchuan’s crying face and knew that she was a simple-minded person, then added, “Ninety-ninth concubine, do hurry and allow me to freshen you up and dress you. You’ll need to pay the concubine your greetings shortly.”
Chu Qingchuan sniffled. “B-but… My hip hurts. I don’t want to pay my respects.”
“Ninety ninth concubine, don’t take it the wrong way but you are really too naive. Do you really think that just because your hip hurts, you can’t go pay your respects? That is impossible. Even if your leg is broken, you must go pay your respects to the Madam,” said Sui’er.
Chu Qingchuan felt even more hard done by. “I can’t. I need to run away. I must run away. I don’t want to see that ugly castle master, nor so I want to be a mere ninety-ninth concubine.”
Sui’er felt a little tired of talking to Chu Qingchuan, so she picked her directly off the ground.
“Ah! What are you doing? Let go of me!” Screamed Chu Qingchuan, as she felt the pain in her hip intensify.
Sui’er carried Chu Qingchuan to the dressing table, then grabbed the brush to comb Chu Qingchuan’s hair. “Ninety-ninth concubine, don’t just think of yourself. You must think of me also. If you don’t go pay your respects and if the Madam goes looking for blame, then I’ll be punished too, so I’ll have to make sure that you pay your respects on time no matter what,” said Sui’er.
Chu Qingchuan cried even louder. “Wahhh wahhh… I don’t want to pay my respects to that Madam. I don’t want to be the ninety-ninth concubine. I hate that ugly castle master.”
Sui’er let out a helpless sigh. “Ninety-ninth concubine, could you please quieten down a little? Crying so loudly won’t solve the problem.”
Chu Qingchuan sniffled and cried, “Then what should I do? If only that castle master and Madam died suddenly, then I’d be able to leave this place.”
