What awaited Chu Qianli were not only Jingri and Wangyue.
There was also someone Chu Qianli had not expected.
Granny Cui.
"Miss, this old servant apologizes to you!"
The moment she saw Chu Qianli enter, Granny Cui let out a thud and knelt down, even kowtowing three times forcefully.
"Granny..." Jingri and Wangyue exchanged glances, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Should they intervene?
Chu Qianli, however, merely watched her coldly. She did not feel uneasy because Granny Cui knelt and kowtowed to her.
After finishing her kowtows, Granny Cui looked up at her. "Miss, in the past, this old servant was wrong. This old servant should not have done things that wronged you, should not have..."
"If there's anything you want me to do, just say it. However, your saying it doesn't mean I will help."
Chu Qianli had rushed here from afar. In fact, she had not been doing well during this period.
Not only was she exhausted, but she was also starving.
She walked to the tea table and looked at Jingri beside her. "Is there anything to eat or drink? Anything warm will do, I don't have high demands."
"Please prepare one for me as well," Fulong quickly added.
These past few days, everyone had been traveling day and night.
They had finally stopped last night, but because it was so rushed, Fu Ning hadn't prepared much good food.
In fact, the consumption during this period far exceeded the intake. A Li had lost more than two sizes!
Jingri was stunned for a moment before immediately saying, "Yes, yes, I'll go prepare it for Miss and Lord Fu right away."
Granny Cui was still kneeling on the ground.
Chu Qianli sat down on a chair, and Granny Cui crawled over on her knees.
Chu Qianli waved her hand. "Since I'm here, I'm here for Ye Xuan. Whatever grudges you have with me are irrelevant to whether I will save Ye Xuan. You don't need to kneel to me."
Granny Cui knew that by helping the Master in the past, her actions had long made Chu Qianli detest her to the extreme.
But now, she truly had no other options.
"I know that since Miss has come, she will definitely go to save the Prince, but... but I hope... I hope Miss you..."
"Besides Ye Xuan, I will not save anyone else."
Chu Qianli stared at her coldly. "Huarong has always wanted my life, so I cannot save her. As for Feng Ling..."
"Feng Ling, that traitor! I wish I could skin her alive and dismember her. How could I possibly ask Miss to save her?"
Granny Cui gritted her teeth, clenching her palms, her eyes filled with hatred!
Feng Ling betrayed them?
This was somewhat unexpected for Chu Qianli.
She hadn't seen Huarong and Feng Ling, assuming both of them had fallen into Feng Bufan's hands.
Huarong... Whether to save her or not, she hadn't quite decided.
It wasn't that she cared much about Huarong, but rather, she knew that Feng Yexuan had come for Huarong.
If Huarong couldn't be rescued, even if Feng Yexuan was saved, that fellow would still desperately go back to save his mother.
But Feng Ling! How could Chu Qianli possibly save that woman?
Whether she lived or died, Chu Qianli didn't care.
Such a malicious woman, it was better for her to die.
It was just that she hadn't expected Feng Ling, who liked Feng Yexuan so much, to betray them.
"Miss..."
"Why don't you tell me what exactly happened first?"
Chu Qianli took the hot tea handed to her by Leng Ji, drank it down in one gulp, and then said:
"I may not necessarily save Huarong, but I don't mind hearing you talk about why Huarong suddenly disappeared. Was it Feng Qihe who brought her back? With her martial arts, how could she have fallen into Feng Qihe's hands?"
