"Sister Lin Shuang, how could you be so foolish?" Bai Lu was speechless and helpless at Lin Shuang's behavior, and said with exasperation, "You are such a smart person. Even if you are only after profit, you shouldn't have abandoned the Princess and chosen someone else. The Princess is an alchemist. Can't you see how much good fortune it takes to follow an alchemist? Besides, the Princess treats us so well. What she gives us is far more than a few spirit stones!"
Black Owl pursed his lips and silently rolled his eyes:
A few spirit stones are nothing!
His Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yao'er own an entire spirit mine!
Xi Que was furious, wishing she could rush up and beat Lin Shuang to a pulp: "Sister Lin Shuang, do you know how much risk my young lady took by overdrawing her spiritual energy to refine the Body Tempering Pill for you and Bai Lu? Yet you bow down to others for a mere few spirit stones. You have disappointed me greatly!"
“Miss Xique, I was wrong, Bailu, I know I was wrong.” Lin Shuang knelt down in front of Xique and Bailu, grabbed their pants, and cried, “Please beg the Queen for me, give me a chance to forgive my sins. If I leave like this, my sins will never be forgiven, and I will never have peace for the rest of my life.”
Although the magpie has a fiery temper, it is actually the most soft-hearted.
Bai Lu also remembered how kind Lin Shuang had been to her in the past, and she couldn't bear to do it.
Seeing Lin Shuang crying and begging them like this, the two men couldn't help but soften.
"Miss, perhaps we should spare her this time?" Xi Que said, unable to bear it.
"Your Highness, can you forgive Sister Lin Shuang this time? I promise to supervise her closely and make sure she never makes such a mistake again," Bai Lu patted her chest and assured her.
Ji Fengyao wanted to refuse, but she couldn't hurt the feelings of the two girls.
She turned to the black-clad man beside her and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, you are the victim, what do you think?"
“She’s your maid, she has nothing to do with me, you can decide for yourself.” Hei Xiao lowered his eyelids, unwilling to look at Lin Shuang any longer, and finally emphasized: “But if you still want to keep her, in the future, don’t let her come to anything that concerns me, I don’t want to see her.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang curled her ten fingers, which were bracing themselves on the ground, deep into her palms.
He froze her heart into ice, then shattered it into dust.
She only wanted to be with him for life, why did she make him hate her so much!
Even Black Owl himself didn't know why, after Lin Shuang did what she did tonight, he felt such deep hatred for her, and even a vague sense of regret and frustration, as if he had experienced something similar before, giving him a feeling of uncontrollable madness.
Ji Fengyao looked at the expectant eyes of Xique and Bailu again, and said frankly to Lin Shuang: "You can stay, but my trust in you is limited; from now on you will only be responsible for your daily life, and you should avoid other matters. I will also avoid you."
Until one day you regain my trust. But that day won't come so soon; it might take three, five, ten years, or even half a lifetime. Are you willing?
"Yes, yes! As long as Your Highness can keep me and give me a chance to prove myself, I will be willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!" Lin Shuang was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed repeatedly in agreement.
Only by staying can she have a way out; only by staying can she survive!
Seeing her like this, Bai Lu sighed inwardly:
Instead of being the princess's confidante, he insists on being a beast of burden.
If only I had known then what I know now!
Ji Fengyao said she didn't trust her, and she really didn't intend to tolerate her.
