Just at that moment, Big Bull walked in.
Xuexue gathered her thoughts, her voice becoming cold and detached, “Did that person escape?”
Big Bull felt guilty, looking at Xuexue and said, “I didn’t expect that dwarf to be so cunning. I let my guard down and he ran away. Madam, please punish me.”
By then, Xuexue had understood; it was not reasonable for Big Bull to get involved in her significant vengeance. Her voice sounded utterly indifferent, “Let him go then. If he’s gone today, he can’t escape forever. Sooner or later, I’ll find him and settle accounts myself.”
This dwarf would eventually be taken under the wing of the Fourth Prince, the future Crown Prince. It was inevitable that she would meet him, just much earlier in this life than in the last. She was unprepared, and her mood was nearly collapsing.
The change in Xuexue worried Big Bull greatly.
The Xuexue he knew was a girl who wore her emotions on her face. Now, he found her unfathomable and felt extremely uneasy.
“Of course! I’ve been staying in the room; what could be wrong?” Xuexue’s eyes flickered somewhat.
Big Bull was genuinely devoted to her, and she saw it all, kept it close to her heart. She could not bring harm to him. Her enemies were no ordinary people; in Moli Country, they were powerful and highly placed, even among the Imperial Kinsmen. How could Big Bull, an ordinary commoner, contend with them?
While Big Bull said this, he still felt something odd, noticing that Xuexue seemed utterly different from just a quarter of an hour ago, especially her tone of voice, which was chillingly cold and seemed to lack warmth.
“Big Bull, wait here for me for a moment. I need to give Nanny Sun some instructions. Then we can go home,” Xuexue said, turning to leave the VIP room.
Big Bull quickly stopped her, “Madam, there’s no need for you to go. I’ve already instructed Nanny Sun, and I trust she will handle things properly.”
Nanny Sun, a procuress who had mixed in the brothel’s corrupt environment for decades, should handle the matter well. Otherwise, Big Bull would not recommend that Xuexue continue to rely on her.
In his view, incompetent people were useless.
Xuexue nodded, “Alright then, it’s getting late. Let’s head back.”
Shortly afterward, the two of them arrived at the back door of the brothel, where a carriage had been waiting, arranged by Nanny Sun to avoid drawing attention.
The two of them got onto the carriage.
The carriage started moving soon after.
The clatter of the horseshoes and the creak of the wheels were very clear in the silent night.
The two of them rode in silence.
Big Bull was pained by Xuexue’s unusual behavior that night. Remembering the despair and fear in her eyes, he could not bear to reopen her wounds, so he pretended not to know anything and did not ask her.
However, regarding the matter of the dwarf, he would definitely investigate thoroughly. He could not allow his deeply loved woman to be wronged without cause.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance to Mo Family Village.
Due to an issue in the town, they were delayed a few Shichen Chinese Time periods. Now, the sky in the east was already showing a white belly of a fish.
Dawn was approaching.
Unbeknownst to them, they had stayed in town for almost an entire night.
The two disembarked from the carriage.
Big Bull, “Madam, let’s hurry. Otherwise, if we stay here a moment longer, the women in the village will get up, see us returning home at dawn, and gossip will spread throughout the village.”
Big Bull didn’t care about his reputation, but he could not bear to see Xuexue slandered. Every time he saw her upset, it was as if someone had stabbed a knife into his heart, causing him intense pain.
