1536: The Entire World Has Withered...

The Entire World Has Withered...

"Xu'er, hurry up and come back quickly. Don't let me wait too long!"2

"Mhm." Xu'er nodded vigorously before dashing toward the entrance of the pawn shop.

Seeing that Xu'er carefully hid from a team of patrol soldiers before successfully entering the pawn shop with nimble movements, Yi'an couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Even though her life was going to get difficult, she still had to carry on, after all.

Fortunately, Xu'er was still loyal and devoted to her. As long as she lived on, she would find an opportunity in the future to pour out her woes to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The elderly lady would definitely forgive her on account of their past affectionate relationship.

After all, it wasn't her who had committed treason. It was simply too unjust for her, a newly wedded wife who had just entered the Vassal King of An'nan's Estate, to get implicated by the old vassal king and his son!

Commandery Princess Yi'an pondered this as she waited for Xu'er to come out from the pawn shop. But as time passed, Xu'er still hadn't returned, not even when her legs had long gotten numb from squatting.

A little less than an hour later, the commandery princess, who still had a busted bamboo basket slipped over her head, finally sensed that things weren't quite right.

She hastily removed the busted basket from her head and hid furtively in the corner as she waited for the patrolling soldiers to pass. Afterwards, she slipped in between the cracks and dashed toward the pawn shop across from her.

When she entered, she did not spot Xu'er at all.

Yi'an hastily went up and asked urgently, "S-Shopkeeper, did a delicate and pretty girl come to pawn a bag of magnetite and also gold and jade jewelry?"

"Oh, you're talking about that miss. She had long left after pawning them for twenty thousand mystic currency!"

What? As if struck by lightning, Yi'an teetered before slumping to the ground.

Xu'er that d*mn lass actually, actually ran off with the money!!

AH—

The Heavens were actually treating her this way!

The second floor of a teahouse in the Mo Kingdom capital.

"She's come out, she's come out, Young Master. That stupid woman has come out from the pawn shop. Ha ha, she actually sensed something amiss only after such a long time. She really is quite stupid."

Cult Master Ding, who was leaning languidly against the window in a glamorous long robe, swept an indifferent glance at Commandery Princess Yi'an, who trudged onto the streets without her wits about her. He curled his lips into a cynical sneer.

"This maidservant thought that Young Master truly did not want the commandery princess to return those twenty thousand mystic currency. It turns out that you were waiting for her here." Baoyan cackled as she clapped her hands in delight.

Previously, she had almost been disgusted to death when the young master disguised as Xin Yu'er approached that Commandery Princess Yi'an.

That Yi'an was so two-faced. She evidently did not help the young master much, yet she had the appetite of a lion and wanted the young master to waive her debt of twenty thousand. She was simply crazy!

"Penniless, and she also fell from the clouds into the mud too. Tsk, she is quite pitiful." Cult Master Ding murmured before picking up a white jade cup and downing the wine.

"We're leaving." He stood up, flicking his sleeve with a biting smile on his lips.

Baoyan was right. Since she had been of no help to him, why should she benefit from him?

Baoyan was simply unaware that her young master had taken out his anger from Crown Prince Mo onto Commandery Princess Yi'an.

Correct, that was what Cult Master Ding was thinking!

This Yi'an did not help people to the end. She said that she would let him into the palace, yet before he could finish talking properly to Darling Qiao, that d*mn crown prince had rushed over.

It was all this Yi'an's fault for failing to arrange everything properly! It was her fault, her fault, all her fault!

That was why she deserved to have such a bad end.

As for that loyal and devoted maidservant Xu'er…

Cult Master Ding's gaze turned meaningful.

Good luck to her!
