Yu Wuxia’s gaze no longer seemed full of life. He embraced Chu Qingchuan until he left Ling Yingxue’s line of sight, then let her go and walked off in another direction.
Chu Qingchuan immediately exhaled.
Sui’er curtsied and smiled sincerely. “Congratulations Concubine Ninety-Nine on being promoted to Madam.”
Chu Qingchuan turned around and looked at Sui’er. Her mind went blank for a moment, then she smiled brightly. “Sui’er, I’ve decided to run away tonight. Don’t tell anyone okay?”
As soon as Sui’er heard this, she knew what Chu Qingchuan was thinking. “Madam, quit ever thinking about leaving. Anyone who wants to go outside must get the Master’s approval,” she said coldly.
Chu Qingchuan was left instantly stunned. “W... Why?”
“What other reason is there? Of course, it’s because Shenwei Castle is safe. Also, you’ve seen for yourself now, the Master isn’t nice to the Madam in the slightest. Why would he give her the power to leave the castle?”
Chu Qingchuan returned to her senses, then sighed. “Then, I still can’t run away?”
“Of course you can’t, unless the Master allows you to. Also, you’re now the Madam of the castle. If there’s anything you want in the castle, you can have it, so why would you want to run away? Don’t tell me you think that after you leave, you’ll be able to marry someone better than the Master? And even if you did, do you think that they wouldn’t mind that you are no longer pure?
Chu Qingchuan furrowed her brows even tighter. Clearly, she agreed with what Sui’er had said.
Yeah! She was no longer pure. Who did she plan on marrying in the future?
Also, if she ran away, she would still have to deal with the assassins that Han Moze had sent.
On the road, she had brought fewer and fewer men with her. Now, she had none of her own servants.
How was she going to safely make the long journey back to the imperial palace on her own?
Chu Qingchuan felt a little stuck and sighed. “It’s whatever. I’ll stay in the castle for a while, then wait until I can think of a good plan to escape.”
Sui’er grinned but didn’t say another word.
News about Chu Qingchuan being bestowed the title of Madam quickly spread within Shenwei Castle. Everyone was suddenly left dumbfounded.
Zizhu Courtyard, Ling Yingxue’s former quarters, was renovated and occupied by Chu Qingchuan.
Chu Qingchuan sat at the table and looked at the thick book of house rules. She randomly flipped the page and yawned subconsciously.
Sui’er smiled and said, “Madam, how do you plan to deal with the ladies? Will you also make them memorize the house rules by heart?”
Chu Qingchuan thought about it for a moment, then smiled. “Sui’er, what do you say I should do? I’ll go with your idea.”
“Madam, from what I see, you’ll have to manage them, but not too strictly. Madam, why not write a new book of house rules for the ladies to recite. That way, Madam won’t have to worry about them doing anything out of line,” said Sui’er in a respectful tone of voice.
Chu Qingchuan thought about it for a moment, and agreed it was reasonable indeed. With an extremely trustful look on her face, she said, “Sui’er, can I leave you to write the book of house rules?”
Sui’er bowed and replied, “Yes, Madam.”
Chu Qingchuan pulled a reassuring smile, then rubbed her stomach. It’s so empty here...
“Sui’er, tell the kitchen staff to prepare a plate of steak for me. Also, tell them to not skimp on the ladies’ food and drink ever again. All in all, just way what you need to get it done.”
“Yes, Madam,” replied Sui’er respectfully.
It’s really hard being this concubine’s maid. She had to do everything. After Sui’er left, she sighed.
Chu Qingchuan’s mouth was covered in drool, as she thought about eating steak soon. I really want to eat it...
Actually, being Madam of the castle wasn’t half bad.
