275 The Little Girl Standing in the Darkness
Zhou Xiaohua must have heard Princess Liuying making things difficult for her family when she was at the back door. That was why she was so sad.
“Xiaohua, don’t be sad. I’ll take revenge with you later!” Lingbao walked over quickly and held Zhou Xiaohua’s hand as she said firmly.
“Yes! Uncle Nine, I asked my second grandfather in the afternoon. The guards that the princess brought are all staying in other villagers’ houses. She only has a maid by her side to serve them. In a while, you lead her to the back of the mountain. I guarantee that you won’t run into those guards!” Zhou Xiaohua said, she pointed in the direction of the back of the mountain to Nine.
“Then we’ll go to the back of the mountain and wait. Lingbao, are you sure you can do it alone?” Gu Lin asked worriedly.
“Of course! Don’t I have Xiaohua to accompany me? Uncle Nine, you guys have to work hard too!” As she said that, Lingbao carried the small bag on her back and pulled Zhou Xiaohua through the door.
“I’ll wait for Lingbao and the others to finish before going in. You guys go to the back of the mountain first and pay attention to your safety.”After Nine said that, he sent Gu Lin off with his eyes. Dumby and Rong Han quickly headed to the back of the mountain.
On this side, Zhou Xiaohua and Lingbao went straight to the room where Princess Liuying was staying.
The two of them quickly dressed up. After an hour, Lingbao put on a large cloak and wore a fake head. She quickly walked toward the north wing where Princess Liuying was bathing and changing.
Over here, the village chief’s family had boiled a big bucket of hot water for Princess Liuying to bathe and change.
In the north wing, Bing’er was waiting for Princess Liuying to bathe.
In the room, smoke lingered. Princess Liuying was sitting in the bathtub. Her voice was full of dissatisfaction, “What a poor place. There are not even milk or flower petals.”
Princess Liuying had always been particular about it. When she was bathing, she would add flower petals and milk to the bath water to nourish her skin.
Bing’er advised, “Princess, you have been wronged. However, only here can we have a chance to take revenge on Gu Qingxue.”
At the mention of Gu Qingxue, Princess Liuying gnashed her teeth in anger, “No matter what, I will let that b*tch die in my hands!”
Just as the master and servant were talking about this, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Bing’er thought it was the village chief’s family. She said impatiently, “Didn’t I tell you to get lost and find a place to live? Why are you back?”
Princess Liuying was dissatisfied with living under the same roof as the village chief’s family. Just now, after they finished boiling the bath water, she chased them out.
The timid voice of the little girl sounded from outside the door, “I’m the second child of my family. I was going to leave, but I heard a mouse squeaking in the princess’ room, so I came to report. Sister, I can’t catch a mouse by myself. Can you help me?”
“There are rats in this damn place?!” Princess Liuying was so scared that the hair on her back stood out. She hurriedly urged, “Bing’er, hurry up and catch a rat for me. You must catch it no matter what!”
Bing’er nodded and agreed. “Please wait a moment, Princess. This servant will be back soon.”
Bing’er hurriedly opened the door and flashed out from the crack. She saw the little girl standing in the darkness.
There was no light, so Bing’er could only use the weak moonlight to sweep a glance at the little girl.
The little girl’s figure was very thin and weak. She looked to be about ten years old. Her head was exceptionally big and her entire face was wrapped in a cloth. It was difficult to see her appearance clearly in the darkness.
Bing ‘er was only focused on the mouse that the girl mentioned. She did not care about the girl’s appearance and asked, “Aren’t you going to catch the mouse with me? If you can’t catch it, be careful that the princess will skin you alive!”
