Chapter 594 - Don’t Have Foolish Hope (1/2)

Lu Fenying turned around and left the yard with a bunch of people.

The main courtyard instantly fell quiet. All the servants were hugely relieved, but even now, they were puzzled as to why the crown prince had flown into such a rage over a couple of plum blossoms.

Qian’er came out of the garden with the helpers and said, “It’s alright. This was all my fault. I’m sorry.”

“Please don’t say that, miss. You really risked yourself to save us. I thought I was dead for sure,” said the maid who had escorted Gu Bailu when she toured the main courtyard; she still held some lingering fear.

“That’s right. n.o.body whom the crown prince punishes has ever survived. You really saved our lives, miss.” The butler was carried away from the long bench. “I thought I was doomed.”

“Okay, hurry and get the butler’s wounds treated. Since the crown prince let you off, hurry and go about your business.”

The servants didn’t dare continue talking any longer, fearing that the crown prince would regret his decision. They instantly dispersed.

After they all left, Qian’er finally fell into Gu Bailu’s arms helplessly. “Master, I may have exposed myself.”

“Don’t be scared. He has no proof even if he suspects us. We won’t acknowledge anything.” Gu Bailu helped Qian’er walk into the west courtyard and praised her. “You did a great job today. See? You dissuaded Lu Fenying.”

“I still find that hard to believe. I never dreamt that I would be able to stand up to him like that.”

Qian’er was both happy and regretful.

If she had been more courageous earlier, she might’ve been able to save those whom Lu Fenying killed.

“You were bold enough to escape from here before, which means that you’re unwilling to bend before your fate. So, you have to believe in yourself.”

Qian’er frowned. Though she had succeeded, some issues remained.
