556 The Lord Was Getting More Mischievous 3 (2/2)

The Lord shifted his gaze and left.

The four messengers looked at each other. Messenger Jiangshan looked at Gu Xijiu and coughed softly, ”Don’t worry, Miss Gu. In fact, The Lord…”

”I’m fine.” Gu Xijiu smiled to him, ”It was my fault.”

There was a huge gap between her and The Lord. Indeed, she had no right to speak in front of him. She was acting too reckless, and with the friendly attitude of The Lord, it made her think that he was her respectful grandfather who would allow her to speak like a granddaughter would. Now that she realized that she was completely wrong and had overestimated herself in his eyes, she deserved to be taught a lesson.

She comforted the four messengers, ”Don’t worry, man! I’ll pay more attention and be more careful with my words and actions in the future.”

The four messengers were silent; that made them rather worried now.

However, they could not say anything else as there were many more things waiting for them to settle.

Messenger Shangshan looked at Gu Xijiu’s dark circles and said gently, ”Miss Gu, you should go back and have a good rest. There are a few more hours to catch the sunrise, why not take a nap?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head and then walked towards Rong Che. She stretched her hand to help him stand upright, ”Eighth prince, let me send you off.”

The decree from The Lord was to kick Rong Che down the hill immediately and no one had dared to go against it. Thus, Rong Che needed to leave even though he could not move.

The roads along the hill were all made up of winding roads and it was not suitable for them to take the carriage. He could only walk down the hill or ride on the horse. However, he could not do both, based on his current physique.

Gu Xijiu planned to bring him down the hill and hire a carriage for him. Then, she could send him back with a better carriage when they arrived the nearest town.
