"You're really something. I, as your elder sister, just found out about you two. Keeping it from me is so not nice!" Mu Fengqie pouted coquettishly.
Hearing this, A Ru's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom. "Sister, it's not like that. I originally wanted to tell you, but on the way, I ran into that crazy woman. Then you know what happened..."
Seeing A Ru so embarrassed, Mu Fengqie laughed. This little girl was still so cute. If her own child could be as innocent and lovely as A Ru, that would be great...
"Alright, I'm just joking. You've been injured and need to rest for a few days. I'll send you back in a few days. You've been out for a long time. If you don't go back, Uncle and Aunt will worry."
It wasn't safe for A Ru to stay by her side now, especially after what had happened. Mu Fengqie was even more worried, so she planned to send A Ru back to Tianlin. At least she would be safer in the Tianlin Palace.
When A Ru heard this, her face changed greatly, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Yuan Yuhan. They had just gotten together, and A Ru didn't want to go back.
Yuan Yuhan's face also changed. He hadn't expected Mu Fengqie to suggest sending A Ru back. Although he didn't want A Ru to leave either, he had no way to persuade her to stay.
"Sister, I don't want to go back. I want to stay by your side. I promise I won't cause you any trouble. It wasn't my fault that I wandered off last time. That woman kidnapped me. I promise it won't happen again." A Ru said as she got up.
Although there were many small wounds on her body, after a day of treatment and recovery, apart from a bit of pain, there were almost no major problems. If things continued like this, she would have to return to Tianlin within seven days.
Mu Fengqie frowned. "Now, Qin Dynasty is not in peace. There might be a big event at any time. It's really dangerous for you to stay."
Mu Fengqie had a premonition that the Qin Dynasty would probably be in turmoil in the future. Maybe the throne would change hands. On one hand, Yuan Yuchuan was eyeing the throne; on the other hand, Yuan Yuhan was competing for the crown prince position. And there was also Lou Mingkou coveting it. It was really hard to tell who would succeed.
Hearing this, Yuan Yuhan's reluctance lessened a bit. After all, compared to A Ru's life safety, this bit of longing was nothing.
But no matter what, A Ru didn't want to leave. She didn't want to leave Mu Fengqie or Yuan Yuhan. "Sister, I won't go back. You know me. Once I've made a decision, I won't change it. Even if you send me back, I'll find a way to come back."
"Alright, alright. We'll talk about this later. What you need to do now is to take good care of your body. Other things are not important."
Four days later...
Bei Moxue had suffered inhumane treatment in the General's Mansion. She no longer looked like her former self. Mu Fengqie had only shown up in the first few days and hadn't been seen for two consecutive days.
"Time to eat." The servant placed the food in front of Bei Moxue.
Bei Moxue looked at the food on the ground and ate hungrily. But as soon as she took a bite, she vomited it all out. She looked at the food on the ground with a ugly face.
"Mu Fengqie! I won't let you off! How dare you treat me like this! Once I get out, I'll surely tear you to pieces!" Bei Moxue roared towards the outside of the house.
She had to go through the needle torture every day. Now she looked as embarrassed as a criminal in prison. One could hardly tell that she used to be so glamorous.
She had been secretly observing in the past few days and was also trying to find a way to get rid of the chains on her body. The iron chains were extremely hard, and she had tried several times to break free but failed.
But she found a very old and rusty kitchen knife in the firewood room. This kitchen knife had become her only hope. At least now she had the motivation to live every day.
She secretly took out the kitchen knife and started today's work. With her martial arts skills, it wasn't actually difficult to break the iron chains. It was just that at first, she endured so much pain every day, and now she had no strength, so it took time.
Seeing that the extremely hard iron chain was about to break under her continuous use of internal force and grinding, she was so excited that she seemed to come back to life and became even more motivated.
Finally, after her unremitting efforts, she successfully removed the chain on her hand. After the chain on her hand was removed, it was much easier to deal with the chain on her foot.
Without the restraint on her hands, she quickly opened all the chains on her feet. At this moment, Bei Moxue was extremely excited. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
But now only one problem was solved. There was another problem. The two guards guarding the door were quite troublesome. Their martial arts skills were not low. With her weak body, she couldn't defeat them one - on - two. She could only outwit them.
She held the rusty kitchen knife as a weapon and let out a scream. The guards rushed out immediately. Bei Moxue quickly used the kitchen knife to cut off one guard's neck. However, this action also caught the attention of the other guard.
Bei Moxue's martial arts were extremely high - level. Although she was a woman, her martial arts were among the best even among men. Even though her body was very weak now, this guard was no match for her. Soon, that guard also fell to the ground.
Bei Moxue didn't dare to stay any longer. She quickly slipped away from the back door when there were few people around. What she needed to do now was to quickly return to Beiming and then teach Mu Fengqie a good lesson!
She managed to escape without being discovered. It wasn't until the evening when the servant went to deliver the food that they found out she had escaped and quickly reported it to Mu Fengqie.
At first, Mu Fengqie was very surprised when she heard this. She never thought that Bei Moxue would still be able to escape. She had been tortured like that, yet still had the strength to escape. She was really not an ordinary person.
Moreover, her hands and feet were tied with such heavy iron chains, and there were two highly - skilled guards outside the door. Under such strict guard, she was still able to escape, which showed that she was extraordinary.
Mu Fengqie felt a bit uneasy. She had done all this to prevent her from escaping, but unexpectedly, she still managed to get away.
However, since she had escaped, with her extremely vengeful personality, she might do something crazy after she went back.
Mu Fengqie wasn't afraid. She was just worried that the crazy woman would target the people around her again. Anyway, she had to catch her back.
If she couldn't be caught, she would have to think of other ways. But no matter what, Mu Fengqie would never let her go. One day, that crazy woman would fall into her hands again.
