Wei Luo followed Jingling Gongzi closely behind him, and when she saw him get on the carriage with a flourish, she hesitated.

  Jingling Gongzi came alone, with only a charioteer by his side. Wei Luo hesitated, unsure whether to get on the carriage as well.

  Get on the horse carriage, to be honest, her heart is nervous, as soon as she sees the young master of Queling, her heart becomes chaotic.

  Can't keep up with the horse carriage, it's so dark and this place is still far from the residence of the Duke of Jingling, with her small build, she won't get lost, will she?

  Wei Luo hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth: anyway, she had already made an appearance and offended them, so she might as well go all the way.

  She thought of this and her hands grasped the starting carriage shaft, jumping up.

  The carriage was very large, and the young master of Jingling was leaning against the wall, his eyes seemingly closed but not quite, cultivating his spirit. He seemed to have no feeling at all about Wei Luo's arrival.

  Wei Luo's flattering smile was still on her face, but he didn't even notice it.

  Heh heh, seeing no one paying attention, Wei Luo hastily stepped forward two steps and sat down cross-legged in the corner of the carriage.

  The horse carriage moved slowly.

  Weiluo humbly lowered her head, not moving at all, treating herself as a mouse, staying still in the corner like a wooden stake. Even so, this small space was filled with the aura and majesty of Prince Jiling! This aura and majesty seeped into Weiluo's heart through her breathing, eyes, and earholes, causing her to involuntarily shrink smaller, almost curling herself up into a ball.

  When Wei Luo was trying hard to shrink herself into a grey mouse, Jing Ling Gong Zi moved and the rustling sound of his clothes made Wei Luo jump in surprise. Subconsciously, she first squeezed out a flattering smile on her face before lifting up her head.

  He raised his head again, but still didn't glance at Wei Luo, instead meeting the cold face of Prince Jing of Sheng with eyes slightly closed.

  This face is handsome to the extreme, and the aura of majesty has also reached the extreme. Wei Luo only took one glance and hastily lowered her head, starting to feel uneasy: Who knows when autumn will come and accounts will be settled?

  However, after going through two life-and-death situations, she no longer found the Duke of Jingling to be that intimidating. Even if she knew he was going to settle accounts and would deal with her, Wei Luo didn't feel as tense as before.

  But for some reason, Wei Luo truly felt that the small carriage was filled with his intense masculine aura! The aura was so strong that it entered her heart through every pore, making her feel flustered and anxious.

  Wei Luo couldn't help but shrink back into the corner of the carriage again, trying to curl herself up into a ball. Amidst her busyness, she still managed to think: "The young master of Jingling is indeed handsome, rarely seen in this world. Even if I've only just discovered his good looks now, that's still normal - after all, I'm just a normal girl with a crush."

  As expected, Wei Luo thought to herself with a self-satisfied smile, and suddenly felt relieved.

  Just as she relaxed a bit and her heartbeat began to become regular, the low voice of Jingling Gongzi came, "Good courage, little one!"

  Wei Luo trembled slightly.

  She bit her lip, and suddenly felt that the heart that had just calmed down was beating violently again. It beat too fiercely, too wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

  Wei Luo tightly bit her lip, thinking in pain: it's impossible to hide, might as well try hard to say some flattering words to get through this pass.

  She thought of this and then knelt down with her knees together, her body bent forward, her buttocks raised high like a pig.

  "Wei Luo knocked his head on the ground, his voice trembling slightly, yet firm: 'Young Master's great kindness! If it weren't for Young Master today, Wei Luo would have escaped death with difficulty!'"

  The carriage was silent, Wei Luo involuntarily held her breath and listened to the reaction of the Jinling young master. After listening for a while, she didn't hear anything.

  Wei Luo paused for a moment, then choked with sobs and pretended to be tearful. Originally, she wanted to squeeze out two tears, but after frowning and rubbing her eyes for a while, she only managed to make her eyes sore. Helplessly, she lowered her voice as much as possible, adding a hint of nasal tone, saying: "Lord Luo's great kindness, I am willing to work hard like a horse!"

  The Duke of Jingling still did not speak up.

  Weiluo hung her head and couldn't see his expression. In fact, even if she had seen his expression, Weiluo wouldn't have been able to read anything from that cold face. So she gritted her teeth and continued: "But please spare Luoyi's life! I'll do my best to make you smile."

  She put herself in the position of a court jester.

  People like Gongzi Jingling are extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and wise. When Wei Luo is in front of him, unless it's a matter of life and death, she wouldn't dare to use her tricks on him. Therefore, these few sentences of hers were very plain and direct, she was simply begging for mercy from him.

  Wei Luo finished speaking and then heavily knocked his head against the carriage board again, waiting for his response.

  After a while, until Wei Luo's forehead began to sweat, the Prince of Jingling spoke up, "Not only can you read, but you're also quite clever. Now, who are you?"

  Who are you!

  For a moment, Wei Luo's vision went black and her chest thumped rapidly several times. She could clearly see the movement even through her clothes!

  Wei Luo bit her lip heavily, making herself sober up a bit, and then her mind turned quickly: He can't suspect my origin! I disguised myself so well, he can't suspect me! Right, he didn't suspect, it's because I said I wanted to serve him, so he asked me to report my family background. Right, it must be like that!

  With a determined spirit, Wei Lu said without hesitation: "I am a humble man from Yue's Kuaiji, with no brothers, my father died early, and our family has a collection of 10,000 volumes of books. As a child, I followed my mother's teachings, and she once said that our ancestors came to Yue from the time of Wei Yi Gong. A year or two later, my mother passed away. I left Yue with a merchant group, but unexpectedly encountered bandits, lost all my property, and almost became a slave. Fortunately, I was clever and managed to escape. Later, I met the carriage team of Mei Ji, and at midnight, I begged to join them and was accepted."

  Lying is a woman's nature, and Wei Luo was still thinking about how to make up a story when she had already spoken it out fluently.

  She finished speaking in one breath and then nodded her head again, not daring to move. The Duke of Jingling was smarter than anyone else, she didn't know if he believed her or not.

  Jingling's voice came slowly, "Children are often cunning."

  He doesn't believe it?

  In the darkness, Wei Luo was stunned, for a moment he didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

  She knelt motionless, thinking that the Marquis of Jingling still had something to say. But he didn't make a sound again. It wasn't until after a while that Wei Luo regretted it: He said I was cunning, why didn't I argue to the death? At least I should have clarified my innocence. Fine, now that I've been silent, he must think I'm admitting to it.

  She was extremely worried and had no idea how the Duke of Jingling would deal with her, so she knelt there motionless.

  Wei Luo knelt down and stayed that way for the entire journey. She had wanted to move a few times, but as soon as she shifted slightly, she felt the scorching gaze on top of her head. In order not to provoke this young master, she could only continue kneeling obediently.

  Until the carriage entered the Jinling Mansion, until the young master of Jinling got off the carriage, he half-turned his head. Under the shining lanterns, his handsome face was half-illuminated and half-darkened, making Wei Luo's heart skip a beat as she stared at him in a daze.

  Jingling Gongzi stared at her, saying lightly: "Follow me." It wasn't until he turned his head and walked far away that Wei Luo realized he wanted her to follow him closely. Good heavens, before leaving the mansion, he had said she was his personal attendant, responsible for serving him in his daily life. After all this trouble, he still hadn't given up on the idea? She had been disrespectful to him, threatened him, and lied to him, so why did he still want her by his side? Could it be that he wanted to keep her close, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?

  No, no, the Duke of Jingling is a man who does great things, he won't be so bored.

  As soon as the Duke of Jingling got off his carriage, more than a dozen maidservants surrounded him and escorted him further and further away.

  Wei Luo was lost in thought as she rubbed her knees, which had turned blue from kneeling, and slowly followed the massive procession.
