Bai Rumei walked up to Wushang, gave a gentle curtsy, and said nothing.
Wu Shang took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to her: "This is for you, Miss. The young master asked me to tell you that he has found your family and is trying to rescue them."
"Are they...are they alright?" Bai Rumei's stern face finally showed a slight change in expression.
“Those people thought you were dead, so they didn’t make things too difficult for them. They just stopped treating them well and made them work like slaves every day before giving them a meal of stale leftovers,” Wu Shang said truthfully.
Bai Rumei bit her lower lip in anger, her eyes reddening and brimming with tears: "Thank you for telling me this, brother. Please also tell Miss and Master that I will never forget their life-saving grace. As long as my family can be saved, I will do my utmost to help Miss and Master whenever they need me!"
Wu Shang nodded, glanced at Wang Er and the other two who were looking like lecherous men, and said, "There's no need to bother guarding these three. If they run away on their own, there's no need to send anyone to look for them. Their lives are their own, and whether they live or die is their own decision."
"I understand," Bai Rumei nodded in agreement.
Wang Er and the other two: "..."
Although we've always been so lowly, brother, at least give us some face in front of the immortal.
Wu Shang didn't even glance at them again, turned around, got into the carriage, and left.
Bai Rumei coldly said to the three people, "Come in with me."
The voice was clearly cold, but Wang Er and the other two listened as if to divine music, and hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement.
Deep within the palace.
The slender man in black stood with his head bowed before the man in black robes, recounting in detail the day Hei Xiao carried Ji Fengming off the cliff, and proactively admitted his mistake: "Your Excellency, it was my fault for failing in my duties, please forgive me..."
"You bastard!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man in black robes slapped him hard across the face, knocking off his face mask and revealing a clean, pampered face with a look of disbelief in his narrow eyes.
He was always highly regarded by the Emperor, and even if he made a mistake, the Emperor would only criticize him with a few words.
This is the first time the Lord has ever laid a hand on him.
Could it be that His Majesty values Black Owl to such an extent?
"I told you to keep an eye on Black Owls, not to kill them. How did you manage to drive them to their deaths!" The man in black robes was furious like never before. A face flashed through his mind, and he felt panicked for the second time.
The last time I felt anxious was a long time ago.
"It was not my intention; they misunderstood," the slender man said, bowing his head in grievance.
On her fair face, five bright red finger marks were clearly visible.
The man in black robes remained silent and depressed for a while before asking, "Are you sure they're all dead?"
“Your Excellency, that ravine is extremely deep. Even at midday when the sun is at its strongest, the bottom is not visible. I cannot be certain whether they are dead. But when they fell, they were all severely injured, and the chances of them surviving are slim.” The slender man, though indignant, still analyzed and answered clearly.
"Don't mention this to anyone again, not even the person you trust most," the man in black said coldly.
"Yes, Your Excellency," the tall, thin man replied respectfully.
“Recently, the Ninth Prince’s men have been active in the palace, as if they are investigating my whereabouts or yours. If there’s nothing else, don’t come to the palace to see me anymore. Tell your men to keep quiet for a while as well,” the man in black robes paused.
