Bab 43: The truth

It was Shangguan Hongye who had encouraged the little master to organize the betting, and Gu Shenwei was very humble during the fight with Shangguan Yushi, even yeilding by himself. This could make Shangguan Yushi feel contempt toward him, thinking he must still be the slave who was humiliated before the Spring Festival and dared not to fight back.

Gu Shenwei hoped that this was the case.

If Master Yu asked her attendants to avenge her, it could leave him no choice but to submit himself as he had a month ago. If their contradiction was open to the public, the master would only lose her face, while the slave could lose his life.

Shangguan Yushi came in the afternoon. She had to be accompanied by Shangguan Ru at all times, so it was a little difficult to get out without anyone noticing.
