Chapter 585 - Lu Fenying Tended to the Injury? (1/2)

It was only because of a last shred of rationality that she just stabbed her hand, but if things escalated, she was afraid that she might kill herself.

It was also why she had followed Gu Bailu when the latter wanted her to face her problem.

However, who would have thought that the trip wouldn’t help at all, but only make things worse.

“Qian’er, you can’t blame yourself. Anybody would be deeply afraid after suffering that sort of extended abuse. You’re not alone or useless; you just didn’t have anybody to rely on before, and that wasn’t your fault, understand?”

An orphan girl, who didn’t have spiritual power or a family, and who had been a maid at the crown prince’s house since she was a child, naturally wouldn’t have had the courage to stand up to her heartless master’s torture.

If she had resisted, she would’ve been killed, and n.o.body wanted to die.

There weren’t that many people in the world who would rather die before caving in.

Even Gu Bailu had once submitted to Feng Qingtian because he was too powerful.

“But I have somebody to rely on now. You’re here to help me, but I still can’t defy him. I hate myself… I can’t be as brave as you at all…”

Qian’er closed her eyes in pain.

The greatest pain for a human being was knowing what their shortcoming was but being unable to fix it.

“Take your time. You must take your time. This is my fault. We shouldn’t have been hasty. We can prepare you in other ways first.”

Gu Bailu truly hadn’t known that Qian’er was so frightened of Lu Fenying that she even pa.s.sed out just at the sight of Red Wolf.

“I… I really don’t know what to do. No, I know what to do, but I can’t help myself.”

“First of all, you need to know that you’re not useless. That is just the residual effect of your long-term abuse. You’re not useless; you’re very good. Think about it. You escaped from him. Not many people are capable of that. You should hate him instead of yourself! If you want to be free, you have to act against him and make him pay.”

Qian’er nodded fervently. “You’re right. I should punish him, not myself.”
