The horse carriage stopped in front of Princess Zhang's Prefecture. The people outside the door immediately came to hold the horses and opened the curtains.
Huang Bei Yue walked down first. The people in Princess Zhang's Prefecture didn't know what happened during today's palace banquet. They still thought that Huang Bei Yue is a 'waste.'
One of Xiao Yun's maid coldly exclaimed: "Why are you stalling? Hurry up. Are you trying to let Young Miss wait for you?"
Huang Bei Yue raised her head to look at her. Before she could speak, a whip slammed over and the maid was immediately thrown out. Half her face was bloody.
Xiao Yuan Cheng angrily shouted: "You have no eyes! Is this the way to talk to the Princess?"
What just happened had led the maids who usually bully Huang Bei Yue on a daily basis to be terrified. They were stunned.
Xiao Yao Wang stood by the side and witnessed everything. Xiao Yuan Cheng didn't have the guts to order Huang Bei Yue around like a servant anymore! He immediately ordered: "Help the Princess down the carriage."
Pei Xiang who came out to pick up Xiao Rou witnessed everything. She wisely walked up and politely helped Huang Bei Yue down the carriage.
"Princess, be careful beneath your feet."
Xiao Yuan Cheng saw this sensible maid and his face was slightly relieved. He quickly got off the horse and respectfully said to Xiao Yao Wang: "Thank you, Wang Ye, for sending us back."
Xiao Yao Wang looked at him for a second and got off the horse as well. He pulled Huang Bei Yue to one side and said in a low voice: "Yue 'er, is there something preventing you from speaking the truth? Tell me. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Huang Bei Yue's heart began to warm up. In her past life as a killer, she had already forgotten what warmth was like. Being in Jiang Hu for so many years, only Master had given her warmth. Other than Master, there was only a woman called 'N' who let her felt carefree!
People like her are fated to darkness, loneliness, and to killers. She thought that was the case before as well. However, when she came here, she met all sorts of people. They gave her warmth, care, and trust.
She raised her head, and smiled faintly at Xiao Yao Wang: "Wang Ye, look at my eyes. Look at it carefully. Look inside. I'm being absolutely serious. I can lie to other people but I will never lie to myself!"
A firm voice echoed!
There was a faint smile on her lips and Huang Bei Yue stood up straight. The cold and proud temperament radiated from her which led people to believe in her.
Believe her!
I can lie to other people, but I will never lie to myself!
Such a brave statement, it's not something a weak child is able to say so easily. Xiao Yao Wang suddenly felt assured.
"Yue 'er, you make me feel surprised. But you are still young. There are some things you might not be able to solve. Come find me whenever you need to. I promised your mother that I will take care of you."
"Rest assured. If there's something I can't solve, you probably can't either." Huang Bei Yue smiled confidently.
She is someone who doesn't like owing people something and she also doesn't like to beg. The biggest taboo for people like her is to become dependent on someone. Being dependent on someone can be deadly.
Even though her soul was trembling.
Her heart is calm.
The sword in her hand will never tremble!
Xiao Yao Wang raised his face and grinned at her. Although he didn't speak, Huang Bei Yue could still see clearly. In his eyes, there's a light called trust!
Looking behind him, there was another horse carriage. It was Feng Lian Yi who opened the carriage's curtains and stared over here.
In the purple eyes, there was a little smile.
