章 285: Hitman seventeen

Chapter 285 - Killers

"Miss Mo, are you sure you don't want to attend the banquet?"

Luo Er asked somewhat cautiously.

"Yeah, not for now."

Mo Xiyan nodded.

Luo Er's expression did not look good because of her words.

After a moment of silence, she spoke with some hesitation. "But, but that's the empress. You … if you don't go, then you'll offend her. This … if … if …"

Was she trying to persuade her to enter the palace?

A light of suspicion flickered in Mo Xiyan's eyes, but on the surface, she seemed to have listened to what Luo Er said, and started to waver.

"You're right, but the steward told me not to go first. He wouldn't harm me …"

"What if the housekeeper comes back too late?" Luo Er said anxiously again.

"I don't think so. Since he made me wait for him, there must be a reason behind it."

Mo Xiyan looked as if she was hesitating, but in her heart, she remained calm and collected.
