“You must take a bath and change your clothes before leaving together with me. I will take you out of here after that.”
Although Feng Ruqing was very gentle with ladies, she was not an extremely kind person. However, when she saw this poor lady, her heart melted. She did not know why she wanted to take this lady out of the dungeon.
The lady held onto Feng Ruqing’s arm tightly and did not let go of her. A look of resolute determination settled down upon the lady’s face.
“Let go of my arm. I won’t leave you behind.” Feng Ruqing sighed.
Startled, the lady stared at Feng Ruqing, as if contemplating whether she could trust Feng Ruqing.
In the end, the lady did not loosen her grip on Feng Ruqing’s arm. She did not trust Feng Ruqing.
“Am I not trustworthy?” Feng Ruqing could see the doubt in the lady’s eyes. She turned her head around to look at Gu Yiyi.
Gu Yiyi nodded after pondering for a while. After all, Feng Ruqing was not someone who would keep her promise.
“As long as Nan Xian is still around, no one would believe in the things that you said.”
Feng Ruqing would leave everyone behind and run off with Nan Xian if he wanted Feng Ruqing to do so. Naturally, no one believed in her.
Feng Ruqing raised her brows. She had never thought that she was an unreliable person in Gu Yiyi’s heart.
Feng Ruqing turned her head sideways, her gaze fell upon the lady.
“How long do you want to hold my arm?” The lady pondered for a while. She shook her head, her hands were still holding onto Feng Ruqing’s arm.
“Go and take a bath. I’ll wait for you outside. I can’t go in together with you. Although we are ladies, how could you take a bath without letting go of my arm?”
Feng Ruqing was right. The lady bit her lip and let go of Feng Ruqing’s arm.
“Manor Master, could you please get some servants to freshen her up and then bring her back to me?”
“Alright.” Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally send this lady away.
However, Gu Shi had no idea why this lady refused to leave this dungeon previously but wanted to leave now when she had seen Feng Ruqing.
The lady could not talk. Hence, Gu Shi would never get the answer.
Everyone looked suspiciously at Gu Shi when he brought the lady down the hill. Simply no one knew why Gu Shi brought a badly disfigured lady back from the hill.
Seeing many disdainful gazes pouring upon her, the lady hid behind Feng Ruqing. Her grubby hand held tightly onto the corner of Feng Ruqing’s sleeve, her eyes were full of anxiety.
The lady’s reaction was natural as she had not seen any light for years. Not to mention, now, many people were staring at her.
If Feng Ruqing was not by the lady’s side, the lady would have rushed back to the hill.
Gu Shi tasked a servant to freshen up the lady and got Gu Yiyi to take Feng Ruging around the chief manor.
“Manor Master, do you know why the back hill of Tian Shen Manor became a forbidden place?” Seeing that Gu Shi was about to leave, Feng Ruqing asked after pondering for a while.
Qing Han told Feng Ruqing that the lady in the dungeon was not the one who called out to Qing Han. In other words, there was something in the back hill that Feng Ruqing knew nothing about.
“I have no idea.” Gu Shi frowned.
“I killed the former manor master too soon and did not manage to ask him about this. The dumb lady just now has nothing to do with me. She is here because of the former manor master. I asked her to leave but she insisted on staying at the back hill.” Gu Shi’s voice was full of grievances.
