Chapter 264: Prince Jin’s Mansion (15)

Su Luo glared at him angrily, saying, "Don't go too far."

Nangong Liuyun crossed his arms, a sly smile on his face. "Good Luo Luo, don't be angry. Actually, you must have thought of it. Liu Chengfeng must have sent countless people to lie in wait outside the Prince Jin's mansion. Little Luo Luo would be walking into a trap as soon as she goes out. My Little Luo Luo isn't that stupid, right?"

Su Luo gritted her teeth and said coldly, "If His Highness Prince Jin gives the order, would Liu Chengfeng dare not withdraw his men?"

Nangong Liuyun spread his hands innocently and stubbornly shook his head. "Silly Luo Luo, one good turn deserves another. You haven't repaid my kindness yet, so how can this prince continue to bestow favor upon you? Too much kindness requires a physical repayment, and that wouldn't be fair to you."

This man has no bottom line!

Su Luo clenched her fists, speechless. "You're right, too much kindness is indeed hard to repay."

Nangong Liuyun nodded elegantly and replied matter-of-factly, "Mm, so let's repay some interest tonight first."

Su Luo was speechless and asked, "How do you want me to repay?"

Nangong Liuyun suddenly gave a wicked, captivating smile that charmed everyone. "Good Luo Luo, you have to ask yourself. How much are you prepared to repay? Just the interest? The principal? Or both principal and interest together?"

Su Luo was speechless, not expecting him to have so many twists and turns in his mind. She glared at him directly. "How do I repay the interest? How do I repay the principal? And how do I repay both principal and interest?"

Nangong Liuyun lowered his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Ah, there are many ways to go about this. But tonight, this prince will explain them to you one by one. Don't be anxious, we have plenty of time."

Who's anxious!

Su Luo gave him a disdainful look and said, "Your thoughts had better be a little purer!"

In fact, this sentence carried many meanings and also expressed her attitude.

Tonight, she really had to stay.

Without Nangong Liuyun's order, she really couldn't leave the Prince Jin's mansion. Even if she could leave, she didn't know how dangerous it was outside the mansion.

It was just that tonight was destined to be unsettling.

Su Luo was mentally prepared, but the turn of events still exceeded her expectations in the end.

Night fell.

The sky was like it was draped in a layer of black gauze. In the lonely expanse hung a few faint stars, emitting a dim glow.

Su Luo snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at the sky, and realized it was getting late.

"Where is my room?" Su Luo stopped a maid who was passing by in a hurry and asked with a frown.

The night was already half over, yet no one had come to inform her where she should sleep tonight. Su Luo found this incomprehensible.

When the maid heard this question, she was instantly terrified and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy. "M-Miss, this servant doesn't know about this. Please, you should ask His Highness yourself. Please, please spare this servant…"

Was she really that scary-looking?

Why did the servants act like they had seen a ghost when they saw her?

Su Luo touched her own delicate and beautiful face, feeling somewhat speechless.

This face was quite pretty.

Once she grew up, she would be a stunning beauty capable of captivating a kingdom.

But the maid kneeling on the ground kept begging for mercy, asking Su Luo to let her go.

Su Luo was completely exasperated and said directly, "Alright, alright, just tell me where your master, His Highness, is.

I'll go ask him myself."

"His Highness is… in the bedchamber of the palace," the maid said cautiously.

"Alright, you can go now." Su Luo waved her hand, dismissing the maid.

In the short half-day she had spent in the Prince Jin's mansion, Su Luo hadn't discovered much else, but she did notice the deep-seated reverence the servants here held for His Highness Prince Jin, a reverence that came from the very depths of their hearts.
