Slap!

Without warning, Yu Wuxia slapped Chu Qingchuan hard across the face. “If you dare want to leave me again, I definitely won’t let you off so easily,” he said in a cold voice.

One side of Chu Qingchuan’s face started to instantly turn red and swollen. She knew that she did something wrong and immediately kneeled on the bed and cried. “I was wrong. Please don’t be mad.” This was the best plan she came up with to leave the castle but she never imagined that things would end up like this.

Yu Wuxia took a deep breath. He has always had a good sense of self control, but when he heard that this woman wanted to leave, he couldn’t contain his anger for some reason. How could his woman possibly leave him?

Yu Wuxia scoffed, then yelled outside, “Men, send Concubine Ninety Nine back!”

Soon after, two masked men entered and carried out Chu Qingchuan, who was wrapped in a blanket.

Yu Wuxia didn’t overthink things. After he got out of bed, he led his men out of the castle.

Chu Qingchuan lay in her bed and cried non-stop. She looked extremely pitiful.

Sui’er was left dumbfounded. “Concubine Ninety Nine, why didn’t you come back last night? And why are you crying so tragically right now? Did the master push you around?”

Chu Qingchuan cried even louder and howled, “Why did he have to hit me? I only said that I wanted to leave this place and that master hit me! He has so many ladies, so what’s having one less?! I’m so stupid. What use is there of me being here? Why didn’t he release me? Why?!”

Sui’er looked at the devastated and heartbroken Chu Qingchuan, then sighed. She carried Chu Qingchuan over to the dressing table and said, “Concubine Ninety nine, don’t you know? The master won’t let any lady out of the castle, and he won’t allow for any lady to have contact with the outside world.”

Chu Qingchuan’s tears fell endlessly from her eyes. “What should I do? I don’t want to stay here! I’m scared of seeing that master and madam of the castle. I’m really scared!” She sobbed.

Sui’er helped Chu Qingchuan with her hair and make up, as she replied, “Concubine Ninety Nine, from now on, you mustn’t stay overnight at the master’s quarters, and if he summons you tonight, you must think of a way to refuse.”

“W… Why?” Chu Qingchuan seemed obviously more tense.

Sui’er speechlessly twitched the corner of her mouth. Thisconcubine’s memory is seriously terrible. “Don’t tell me that you forgot what the madam told you yesterday?’

Chu Qingchuan furrowed her elegant brows in contemplation for a long while before replying. “Don’t surpass her and I mustn’t command the master’s affections.” Just then, she came to a sudden realization, and said in a flustered voice, “I… I’ll never dare to sleep with him ever again.”

Sui’er smiled and replied in a flat voice. “Concubine Ninety Nine, it’s best that you think this way. The last lady I waited on was Concubine Eighty-Three. That lady looked quite cute, but she didn’t listen to me and insisted on secretly tracking the master’s whereabouts. Whenever she came across the Master, she would pretend to have met him by chance and flirt with him. No long after, Madam executed her.”

Chu Qingchuan’s face turned pale white in fear. “H… how did she die?”

Sui’er thought about how Concubine Eighty-Three had died and felt her whole body turn a little cold. “Concubine Eighty-Three was slapped to death by two servants in front of all the concubines. When she died, all her teeth had fallen out and her face was as swollen as a pig’s head. She was slapped for a whole hour before she died.”

Chu Qingchuan instantly felt her skin crawl and her teeth chatter. “Se… seriously…” Chu Qingchuan was so scared, it took her a long time to utter a single word.
