Chapter 20

"Young miss, so you were pretending just now!" Xiao Ru finally reacted and realized what had happened.

"Hee, hee, of course I was pretending. If I didn't pretend to be dead, how could Chu Shao Yang let me go so easily?" Chen Ning used her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She took in a cold breath and slightly knit her brows.

In order to make her act more realistic, she had to bite her tongue.

"Young miss, why did you act so realistic? This servant was almost scared to death by you. This servant really thought you were ….." Xiao Ru sniffled as her eyes turned red.

"Alright, it's fine now. That blind bastard man has finally left." Chen Ning used her sleeve to wipe Xiao Ru's tears. She asked in a concerned voice, "Xiao Ru, did he hurt you?"

"This servant is fine." Xiao Ru shook her head. She was just worried about Chen Ning. That kick just now was not light, but she did not say a single word about it.

"Young miss, while there's no one here, let's quickly escape? You can trick his highness for a while, but you can't trick him forever. He will soon send people to collect young miss' corpse. If he finds out that young miss lied to him, he will not let you go! " She quickly pulled on Chen Ning's sleeve. Seeing the killing intent on his highness' face, it was clear that he wanted to take the young miss' life!

Chen Ning shook her head and a strange glow flashed in her eyes. She slowly said, "No, I won't escape. I want to stay here."

"But, but ….. The people his highness will send will be here soon." Xiao Ru was so anxious that she began to sweat.

"Xiao Ru, you can be assured. When the water comes, the earth will subdue it. When the soldiers come, the generals will block them. I will naturally have a way." Chen Ning said with a confident look.

She had already made up her mind.

Chu Shao Yang was very resourceful. If he could catch her when she had just escaped the palace, then it would be useless for her to escape. She would fall into his hands sooner or later.

Since he had the ability to catch her, then she would stay here and fight with him. She would also meet that white lotus little sister of hers.

She rubbed the swollen bump on the back of her head. With a hiss, she grinded her teeth.

Chu Shao Yang, she would remember this debt.

If she didn't cause a ruckus in the King Ding Yuan palace, she would not be able to live up to that stick on the back of her head!

Seeing the strange smile on Chen Ning's face, Xiao Ru suddenly shivered. She felt that someone was about to run out of luck.

"This is bad, Eldest Miss. His Highness really sent people here. Let's find a place to hide."

The sky had already darkened and Xiao Ru could see lights flashing in the distance. There were several old maids holding lanterns and there were several servants carrying a coffin as they ran towards the wooden hut.

"Chen Ning said. "Run?

Chen Ning also saw this and her lips curled into a faint smile.

Chen Ning saw this scene.

Chu Shao Yang really sent people with a coffin to collect her corpse.

She took a step forward and walked out of the woodshed. Standing at the door, she coldly watched the group of people approach.

Several old maids walking in front saw a person standing at the door of the woodshed from a distance, but they didn't care.

They had received orders to collect the corpse of the Princess Consort who had just entered the palace three days ago. They only cared about the dead person in the wooden hut and not the living person standing in front of the door.

When the maids arrived in front of the wooden hut, one of them felt that Chen Ning was blocking the door. She even reached out to push her and shouted, "Where are you working? If you have nothing to do, then don't wander around. This is not a place for you!"
