Red Wolf stepped back expressionlessly, and Qian’er fell to the ground.

  Her face hit the ground, and it was instantly cut and bled.

  Pill in hand, Red Wolf turned around and entered the study.

  “Your Highness, the Daoist nun who delivered the pill fainted,” reported Red Wolf.

  Lu Fenying raised his head from the book he was reading. “Why did she faint?”


  “I frightened her,” answered Red Wolf matter-of-factly, as if it wasn’t strange for a woman to faint when they saw him.

  In fact, besides being tall and strong, Red Wolf had a chiseled face and thick eyebrows, and could be considered quite handsome. But he was always expressionless and never smiled, so that grim face could really frighten kids.

  Something strange flashed in Lu Fenying’s long and narrow eyes. “Is it the cowardly disciple?”


  “Yes.”


  “Bring her in.” Lu Fenying lowered his head and continued reading.

  Red Wolf turned around and walked out the door. A guard bowed respectfully and asked, “Boss, what do we do with this Daoist nun?”


  They couldn’t just leave her lying at the door. Besides, her face was bleeding. If anything happened to her……

  Red Wolf walked over to Qian’er and grabbed her sleeves, before he dragged her into the study.

  She was as light as a doll in his hands.

  The friction and pain woke Qian’er up. When she opened her eyes to see Red Wolf dragging her over the ground, anger flared in her heart.

  She wasn’t mad at Red Wolf, but at herself for being useless and actually passing out in fear in front of these villains.

  Gu Bailu told her to deliver the pill so that she could face her problem. She clearly had the advantage with her new identity, but she was still such a mess.

  She was hopeless. She was truly hopeless……

  But what about her baby?

  If she continued to be dragged like this, something would happen to the baby.

  She clenched her fists tightly. She might be useless, but she couldn’t let her child live like this.

  She took out a silver needle and stabbed Red Wolf’s palm hard. Red Wolf’s grip loosened at the pain, and Qian’er hurriedly drew her hand back and got up from the ground. “What are you doing? Is this how the crown prince treats guests?”


  She tried to be calm and confident, but she was still scared in front of Red Wolf, so her voice was very low and didn’t sound the least bit threatening to Red Wolf.

  “The crown prince wants to see you.” Red Wolf glanced at the silver needle in his hand.

  If the crown prince hadn’t wanted to see her, he would have slapped her just now.

  One slap from him would turn this weak woman into a pulp. She had clearly fainted in fear when she saw him, yet she had the guts to stab him with a needle.

  Red Wolf turned around and walked in. Qian’er clenched her hands. She didn’t want to go in. She was scared. But she had to go in.

  Gu Bailu was right. Fear wouldn’t do her any good. She couldn’t hide for the rest of her life. Lu Fenying was so powerful that he would find her sooner or later.

  If she was really useful to Su Muwei, she would have to turn that into an advantage, instead of letting them simply exploit her.

  She understood this logic very well.

  Walking slowly behind Red Wolf, Qian’er was unaware of the injuries on her face, as she was too busy convincing herself not to be scared.

  The moment she stepped into the study, she smelled that familiar, frightening air.

  She had been summoned here many times, and had suffered endless humiliation at Lu Fenying’s hands every time.

  Too many times, she had passed out on that desk when he forced himself on her.
