Chapter 76: Imminent Departure (1/2)

Uncle Liang felt that the young lady was different from before. Sigh, it was probably because of the accident. Her personality probably changed after learning about the truth today.

What Uncle Liang didn’t know was that the current Luo Chu was no longer the same Luo Chu from before. Under the skin of the harmless Luo Chu, the soul of an evil dao witch filled the body. She was cold, decisive, and ruthless.

When Uncle Liang escorted Bai Luochu to the door, he suddenly recalled something and took out an embroidered pouch before handing it over.

“You were definitely rescued by someone. It’s the only reason you are able to return alive. After troubling that household for such a long time, you must offer them something in return. Otherwise, they might laugh at our general's residence for not knowing proper manners.”

Bai Luochu paused for a moment as she had never considered this point. After all, she had been residing in the First Prince's residence for such a long time… Rather than saying that the general’s residence was her home, it would be more appropriate to say that the First Prince’s residence was her home.

Bai Luochu weighed the silver in her hand and realized that there wasn’t much. She passed the pouch back to Uncle Liang and said, “Uncle Liang, the person who took me in is from one of the noble clans in the capital city. They will not care about such a small amount. Furthermore, I haven’t been living and eating off them either. I’m working for them and there is for you to worry about. I am returning to bid them an official farewell as it will be disrespectful to leave without saying anything.”

When Uncle Liang heard that Bai Luochu had been helping out in that residence, he assumed that his young lady had been serving as a servant girl. His eyes immediately turned red as he sobbed, “Young Lady, quickly go back and bid them farewell. I promise that I will be waiting at the entrance for you early in the morning.”

“Then I shall trouble Uncle Liang.” Bai Luochu nodded and headed towards the First Prince's residence.

Along the way, Bai Luochu’s mind wasn’t idling as she was thinking about how she was going to convince Pei Rumo to allow her to return. On the other hand, she was thinking if her uncle had something to do with her predicament.

Before she could reach a conclusion, Bai Luochu arrived at the First Prince's residence. She hesitated at the entrance but ultimately took a step in. After all, if something was going to happen, there was no avoiding it. This matter was something she had to face sooner or later.

As soon as she stepped into the gate, she saw Pei Rumo’s personal guard waiting for her. Just as Bai Luochu wanted to head back to her courtyard, the guard spoke up.

“It just so happens that I have something to say to your lord.” Bai Luochu responded and immediately followed the guard towards the study room. Since I can’t avoid it, let’s see what the First Prince has up his sleeves.

“My lord, I have brought the Young Lady over.” The guard remained at the entrance as he made his report.

“Let her in. Don’t let anyone near the study.” Pei Rumo responded from inside the room.
