Boots embroidered with flowing clouds and golden thread. It couldn’t have belonged to an ordinary person.

Qiao Chu followed Si Da’s gaze, and saw that the owner of the shoes was Prince Xia, behind him was Prince Ning and several other princes, along with Fang Minghe, the Old Man and others. The voice was fleeting and undistinguishable. Prince Xia frowned slightly and glanced at everyone.

Qiao Chu clutched onto Prince Xia’s sleeve as if he was her saviour, “Please save her.” she begged.

The sleeve became stained with blood, Prince Xia frowned in disgust and then sneered, “I thought you were intelligent, but it seems it was wishful thinking!”

“Ninth brother, don’t say anything else,” Prince Ning sighed. “Miss Qiao Chu, she is but a servant. We are about to see eighth brother, you better come with us.”

“Thank you for telling me this, Prince Ning,” Qiao Chu faintly smiled, as she raised her eyes to meet their glance, “Now, I know very well what I will lose, but, since I have come back, I will never abandon my servant again. I have already abandoned her once.”

Prince Ning shook his head and smiled, “If you were wrong one time, why not be wrong once again?”

Qiao Chu laughed lightly, “If you’re wrong once, why not be wrong again?”

Prince Ning was stunned, a flash of mockery flashed in Prince Xia’s eyes, “You have a sharp tongue!”

Qiao Chu ignored him and looked at Prince Ning pleadingly. Prince Ning sighed slightly, Qiao Chu understood he was doubting whether or not to help her. After all, this was not a small matter, if he were to help her, he would delay visiting Prince Rui. She was about to plead again, when Prince Xia glanced at her fiercely and said in a hostile tone, “You think begging my fifth brother will help? Well, you want to be proved wrong once again, don’t you? This Prince will give you an opportunity! My shoes are dirty and need a servant to wipe them. If you wipe this Prince’s shoes, this Prince will save that damn servant girl.”

“I will wipe it!” As soon as Si Da heard that, she put Meiren into Qiao Chu’s arms and bent down.

“Are you worthy?” Prince Xia let out a cold laugh and lifted his foot to kick her on the chest.

As soon as Si Da had spoken out, Qiao Chu had noticed his intentions. She moved faster, pushing Meiren’s body behind her as she held her, in a flash she appeared in front of Si Da’s body, blocking the kick.

“Ninth Brother, stop!”

Not waiting for Prince Ning’s scolding voice, Prince Xia had already noticed what was happening. But, he was always ruthless, and the kick was too powerful for him to stop it. He was not quick enough, in the end his foot crashed firmly on Qiao Chu’s chest.

Qiao Chu fell on top of Meiren, who had passed out. She was about to check Meiren’s condition when a sudden beam of sunlight highlighted a mark on Meiren’s wrist.

Meiren was a family member of a prisoner, so her wrists had been branded as a sign of punishment. For a moment, something important flashed through her heart, before she could grasp what it was, a sudden pain from her chest came. With slightly parted lips, a gush of blood came out, she tried stopping it with her hands. She clenched her teeth and lifted her wounded body a few inches, she then crawled up to Prince Xia’s feet and said with a faint smile, “Please remember your promise.”
