The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

Chapter 49 Please show mercy to me!
  The name Hongxiu was no longer called by anyone after her master was thrown into a mass grave by the Zhenguo government.
  Her appearance is not outstanding, and she is bullied by other girls because of her master.

They either called her "Hey" or "Breaking Suppression", or they called her "Bitch" or "Bedbug".
  Her mother never paid much attention to her, and she doesn’t remember her name at all.
  "Hongxiu", the name given by her master, was almost forgotten by her.

Not to mention such an unfamiliar guest.

"Where did you get this name?" Hong Xiu stared at her and asked, ignoring the injury at the corner of her mouth.

Gu Wanyu didn't answer her. Instead, she turned the fan in her hand and raised her eyebrows.

"Find a secluded place."

Hong Xiu glanced at her suspiciously, moved her lips, and finally said: "You two, come with me."

After saying that, he took the lead and took the first step.
  After turning two corners, Gu Wanyu didn't take them to his room as he wanted.

She used to have a separate room. After her master left, she was demoted to a rough messenger and had to sleep in the big bunk.
  Therefore, he only took Gu Wanyu and two others to a woodshed.

"I am in charge of this place, and no one else will come easily. Can you say that?"

Gu Wanyu nodded and asked Gu Liufu to go out and guard him. Then he frowned and said slowly:

"Yu Rui and I were friends when we were young. Later we moved to Yangzhou. When we had the opportunity, we returned to Shengjing. I only got in touch with her a few months ago."

"At the beginning, she was entangled by the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo. She knew that she might not be able to escape easily, so she wrote a handwritten letter, saying that if anything happens, please ask me to take care of you."

Hong Xiu was stunned since she said Yu Rui's name.
  After listening to each word, my eyes were already red, and I opened my mouth. It took me a while to find my voice.

"Master, master, do you actually think about me like this? How do I deserve it?"

Gu Wanyu ignored her muttering, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her.
  Hongxiu took it with red eyes,
  Although she couldn't read, she could still tell that it was Yu Rui's handwriting.

I believed it immediately, and the tears that had been swirling in my eyes seemed to have fallen off and floated down.

Gu Wanyu handed over a clean handkerchief at the right time, "She has only had you by her side for so many years. She has already regarded you as a family member, and she is considerate of you."

Hongxiu took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, folded the letter carefully, and handed it back to her.

"You, you know, Master, she has already..." She could no longer say the following words and sobbed.

Gu Wanyu lowered her eyes and lamented, "How could I not know?" She clenched her fists, a trace of self-blame flashed in her eyes,
  "What a shame, I'm just a concubine for someone else. I have no power or ability. I couldn't save her in the first place!"

Hongxiu looked up with tears in her eyes,
  The two people's eyes met, and their emotions were intertwined, and they couldn't help crying.

After a while, she felt that it was almost done, so she let go of her red sleeves, wiped the corners of her eyes, and patted her shoulder.
  "The deceased is gone. You and I still need to take care of ourselves. I don't think Yu Rui's spirit is in the sky, and she doesn't want to see us do this for her."

"What you are saying is that my master treated me very well during his lifetime. To tell you the truth, I also treat my master as a close relative. She has gone without any explanation this time. I am really uneasy in my heart. I just want to do my best." To avenge her life is to live up to my master’s love and care!”

After saying that, he said viciously: "That Mr. Zhou is really hateful!"

Looking at that appearance, I just wanted to eat its flesh and drink its blood. Suddenly I looked at her with hope.

"I still come to Zuichunlou frequently this Tuesday. I want to find an opportunity, so..."

"But in the end, he speaks softly and is suppressed by many girls who were jealous of the master at the beginning. He can't even go to the front. Therefore, please give me a helping hand."

"No, Yu Rui planned a plan for you and specifically told me, just because I don't want you to lose your life for it again."     He reached out to hold her hand, and Gu Wanyu spoke sincerely to dissuade her.
  "I came here this time just to take you to my house. Although you are not a wealthy person, I can keep you safe for the rest of your life."

As expected, Hong Xiu refused.

"I appreciate the good intentions of you and the master, but the master planned something for me, and it ended so miserably. If the slave lives in an ignoble way, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

"Please help me, slave, to avenge my master!" After saying that, he knelt down with a pop and nodded while saying, "Please!"

She didn't stop her, just watched her knock down one after another.
  It took a long time until his forehead was red and swollen, then he sighed softly and stopped it with the handle of the fan.
  "Do you think I don't want to? Since Yu Rui left, I have thought of dozens of ways, and I wish I could use myself as bait. But you are also aware of the power of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and I, too, really can't do it!"

Hongxiu bit her lip, tears rolling down her eyes.
  In the blink of an eye, he clung to her legs again, raised his head and said expectantly:
  "What if I use my body as bait? Do you think it's feasible?"

Gu Wanyu shook her head, "No, Yu Rui entrusted you to me, how could I let you put yourself in danger?"

"You share the same love with the master as a sister. The master trusts you so much that he entrusts you with your future affairs. I beg you to have mercy on me!"

"That's fine, but it can't be up to you. I'll think about it later. You must remember not to act rashly." Gu Wanyu said seriously with her eyes narrowed.

Hong Xiu begged a few more times, but seeing her firm look on her face and her determination to refuse, she gave up.

"That slave will obey your orders."

"The man guarding the door outside is my confidant. He often comes out to run errands. If there is any news, I will ask him to pass it on to you."

"My slave, I have taken note of it." Hong Xiu sent her out the door.

"You can stay here, I'll have to make some plans when I get back, but..."

Gu Wanyu glanced at the injuries on her face and said, "Your current situation really worries me."

Hong Xiu followed her line of sight and stroked her still swollen cheek, and instantly twitched the corners of her mouth in pain, but still smiled:
  "The slaves are fine. These people are just jealous that the master has covered up their glory when he was here. Now they are venting their anger on the slaves."

"We need to make other plans in the future. The current situation of the slave is better to hide from others. As for this minor injury, there is really no need to worry about it."

Hearing her understatement, Gu Wanyu really couldn't bear it.

Immediately, he stuffed all the scraps of money and a banknote he was carrying into Hongxiu's hands.
  "You keep it for management, take care of yourself, don't let Yu Rui and me worry."

Hongxiu was really moved, "There are so many, my humble body, you really don't have to..."

"Take it!" she said without refusing.

Hongxiu reluctantly accepted it and watched her and Gu Liufu leave with red eyes.

"Master, are you leaving now? Did you have fun?"

"Uncle, come back next time~"

When Yi Tathagata came, he finally escaped the greetings of these girls.
  After leaving Zuichun Tower and walking around two streets to make sure that no one noticed them, Gu Wanyu took Gu Liufu back to Fushengzhai.
