The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 269: Chapter 10: The Fallen Noble Lady

Lou Sha was taken away, and the other girls present were buzzing with discussion.

The freckled girl came over to ask Tianmiao, ”Do you know why she was taken? Is she going to be the Duke’s personal maid in the future? That would really be lucky. Does it mean we can live better too?” The freckled girl’s tone had a hint of flattery.

Tianmiao did not answer, just turned her head to look to the side.

”What are you so proud of?” Clearly, Tianmiao’s attitude made the freckled girl quite annoyed, ”If I catch the Duke’s favor, don’t expect to get any benefits.” The freckled girl muttered as she walked away.

Tianmiao was just quietly waiting. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a solemn-faced Lou Sha returned.

After she returned, she pulled Tianmiao to sit in a corner and whispered to her, ”Tianmiao, I feel this matter is very unusual. Duke Andophin had already agreed to the deal with me; I would offer all my wealth, and she would let me go back and help me handle those greedy people. But a voice stopped her. Not many people can make her change her mind.”

Tianmiao looked at Lou Sha, who was calmly analyzing, and secretly sighed. This smart and brave girl, no wonder Prince Ai Ke never forgot her.

”That person made her refuse my deal. Nobody dislikes having too much money, but for a deal that would benefit her, she disagreed. Unless that person isn’t short on money. Someone who can afford not to need money and influence Andophin’s decision, who could it be? The King?” Lou Sha whispered her speculation.

The analysis was thorough, and Tianmiao once again internally added points for Lou Sha.

”So, what exactly do they want to do? Make me a maid to satisfy their bizarre noble vanity? No, that’s not Andophin’s style. Why would the King do this?” Lou Sha frowned, the ominous feeling in her heart growing.

”Don’t worry, I’ll be with you,” Tianmiao said softly.

Lou Sha looked up at Tianmiao, showing a smile, ”Hmm, and don’t worry. I said I would protect you, and I absolutely will.”

In the next three days, Lou Sha felt that things were increasingly strange.

The newly bought female slaves were not just the eight of them but also other girls. However, during these days, their treatment was excessively good. They were not assigned any tasks, nor were people sent to teach them anything. Instead, they were served good food and drink every day, and they could choose new clothes daily. After dressing up, they were gathered in front of the castle in a line to do nothing. After standing for a while, they were sent back.

Lou Sha increasingly felt things were not simple and sensed a dangerous vibe.

Only Tianmiao knew that it was for the nobility to observe them, placing bets. They placed bets on which girl would survive to the end. This was already a routine.

That night, Lou Sha asked Tianmiao in a low voice, ”Tianmiao, let’s prepare to run, find a way to escape tonight. I feel things are increasingly wrong. If this continues, it might be dangerous.”

It wasn’t just Lou Sha; other girls had noticed the problem too, but some were still indulging in such a comfortable environment.

But when night came, Lou Sha found there was no chance at all. The door was locked tight, and there were even guards outside. The windows were sealed shut.

It seemed it was specifically to prevent them from escaping.
