Chapter 454: Facing Head On

Sui’er didn’t say a word, considering that she didn’t believe Chu Qingchuan would become a good person anyway. If a person’s true nature could change so easily, then good and evil wouldn’t exist in this world.

Sui’er walked directly towards the thick book of house rules and picked it up. She flipped to the page Chu Qingchuan left off yesterday, then put it in front of her. “Concubine Ninety-Nine, stop thinking about it. It’s not like you’re going to come up with a good idea anyway. You’re better off learning the house rules,” she said in an attempt to persuade her.

Chu Qingchuan saw the book and deliberately yawned. “I’m sleepy. I want to read it when I wake up.”

Then, she got to her feet and staggered over to the big bed behind the screen.

Sui’er closed the book of house rules without a care. As a maid, all she had to do was do the best to her ability. Caring too much would, in turn, annoy others.

Chu Qingchuan put her hand to her mouth and let out a soft yawn. Then, she laid on the big, plush bed, shut her eyes and fell asleep.

I don’t care anymore. Let’s talk about it after I wake up.

Chu Qingchuan was very simple-minded. She wasn’t going to have any dreams or anything, and her nap would last almost two hours.

After she woke up, Chu Qingchuan freshened up, then headed out for a stroll outside the tower with Sui’er by her side. Who knows, perhaps I’ll discover another way out of here.

With a smile on her face, Chu Qingchuan walked down a shady passageway whilst admiring the charming scenery. She had long put the idea of finding a way out to the back of her mind.

Sui’er silently followed behind Chu Qingchuan and let out a subtle sigh whilst looking at the naive look on her face. This lady’s naivety would get her killed sooner or later.

Chu Qingchuan turned her head and suddenly saw that she was about to cross paths with three men. The man in the front was clearly the master of the castle. Behind him were his two men.

The master wore a blight blue attire with embroidered dark blue flowers. His hair was tied high up and fell on his body like a waterfall. He wore a gold mask over his lips with light blue flowers on it. His charming aura made him stand out exponentially.

Chu Qingchuan felt like she had terrible luck. How did she end up bumping into that ugly Master on the road? Although the Master’s chin and lips looked really good, he must be unbelievably ugly.

She didn’t want to bump into that ugly Master, and so she was just about to spin around and leave.

But then, Sui’er whispered, “Concubine Ninety-Nine, whatever you do, don’t turn around. The Master’s looking at you. If you deliberately avoid him, then wouldn’t that make him think you have a problem with him? Who’s to say he won’t kill you.”

Chu Qingchuan heard what Sui’er said and knew exactly what she meant. After some thought, she felt like she made a lot of sense, so she gulped and whispered, “Sui’er, you’re so clever.”

Sui’er twitched the corner of her mouth, speechless. Concubine Ninety-Nine, you’re just too stupid, alright?

Soon enough Yu Wuxia walked up to Chu Wingchuan.

Chu Qingchuan leaned against the wall, then curtsied. “Greetings Master.”

Yu Wuxia smiled flirtatiously. “Rise. I still don’t know your name. Tell me your name.”

Chu Qingchuan slightly furrowed her elegant eyebrows and thought about it for a second before she replied, “I’m… Chu… Chu…”

Yu Wuxia smiled joyfully. “So your name is Chuchu. A good name. It sounds very charming and you are indeed beautiful.”

Chu Qingchuan didn’t have the slightest good feeling about Yu Wuxia. She kept her head slightly lowered and didn’t move an inch, hoping that he would quickly leave.

Yu Wuxia glanced at Chu Qingchuan and knew what she was thinking. He wasn’t angry, but smiled and said, “Do want me to quickly leave that badly?”
