Yun Luo simply didn’t have enough Spirit Stones; she couldn’t afford to offend the City Lord Mansion’s housekeeper, and her father was truly a gambling addict.

She had no choice but to seek out City Lord Nangong Minghua, after all, she now counted as one of Nangong Minghua’s people, undercover around Qin Tian just to earn money for her gambling father.

Coincidentally, Yun Luo had been hoping to visit the City Lord Mansion to see if the third young master Nangong Bingfeng had returned from killing.

”Master, please help me!”

Upon arriving at the City Lord Mansion, Yun Luo immediately knelt before Nangong Minghua in a flood of tears, reporting Yun Dahai’s gambling debt.

”Master, this maid is willing to serve the City Lord Mansion for a lifetime, humbly begging Master to lend a hand, please help Yun Luo...” Yun Luo kowtowed and pleaded on her knees.

Nangong Minghua sat in his seat, waiting for news from the Forbidden Army returning from the Soul Suppressing Hall, especially regarding Nangong Bingfeng.

His heart was anxious, and seeing Yun Luo bother him with such trifles, his expression instantly turned severe: ”Yun Luo, you’re coming to me with family matters? Your father owes debts, it’s only right to repay them, coming to me won’t help! What right do you have to seek me?”

”But as for money, I can give it to you, but it’s for you, not Yun Dahai! That worm-like trash, I’m curious why he’s still alive! Wait until the housekeeper chops off his hands, then maybe come and find me. I have matters to attend to, leave.”

”Master, for the sake of this maid’s wholehearted service to you, please let the housekeeper spare him this once, I beg you...”

”You don’t understand my words? Who do you think you are, daring to negotiate with me!?”

Yun Luo still wanted to plead, but Nangong Minghua’s face slightly changed, saying: ”Hmph, seems you’ve forgotten your humble status! Fine, I’ll kill your father to remind you!”

Nangong Minghua let out a bizarre laugh, and hearing it, Yun Luo instantly felt a dire premonition.

Indeed!

Nangong Minghua said: ”Housekeeper!”

The housekeeper walked in from outside: ”Master.”

Nangong Minghua: ”Kill Yun Dahai, throw him at the Burial Mound!”

”No! No!”

Upon hearing Nangong Minghua’s words, Yun Luo was immediately panic-stricken, crying and pleading.

She knew Nangong Minghua’s eccentric nature, presenting one face in public, another in private; killing Yun Dahai would be too easy...

”Master, Yun Luo will always follow orders, diligently attend to your matters, never desert her post, I beg you to spare my father...sob sob...”

Looking at the pleading Yun Luo, the housekeeper grinned and asked Nangong Minghua, ”Master, do you wish to...kill or...”

”A dog dares negotiate with the master? Ignorant of your place! Enough, considering Yun Luo’s many years in City Lord Mansion, spare his life! Housekeeper, lock Yun Dahai up, as long as he hasn’t repaid his debts, don’t let him go!”

With an anxious look on his face, Nangong Minghua waved his hand: ”All of you, be gone! Housekeeper, report immediately if there’s news from the Forbidden Army.”

”Yes, Master.”

The housekeeper and Yun Luo exited the room together.

Looking at Yun Luo, whose crying left her captivating, the housekeeper sneered: ”Yun Luo, if you don’t repay with Spirit Stones, your father will die in my dungeon...”

Seeing Yun Luo’s gaze shift over, the housekeeper leered, ”Hehehe, isn’t it just a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones? How about you be my woman? Serve me for a year, and I’ll let it slide...”

Yun Luo was radiant; during her training as a top maid, the housekeeper had lusted over Yun Luo’s beauty.

Yun Luo glanced at the housekeeper’s grumpy face, bowed and said: ”Housekeeper, I will find a way to gather the money and rescue my father... please give me time.”

Crying, Yun Luo walked out the City Lord Mansion gates, the housekeeper watched her back with a smirk, licking his lips and preparing himself: ”Not willing to serve me, I wonder where you’ll gather the money. Hmph, this time even the master has spoken!”

...

Upon leaving the City Lord Mansion, the awaiting Yun Dahai had already been taken away by the housekeeper’s men; she felt utterly helpless, realizing she’d been away from the Qin Mansion too long, she quickly composed herself and hurried back.

Returning to the Qin Mansion, Yun Luo was surprised to find that Qin Tian had already returned!

Moreover, he appeared perfectly safe!

”Nangong Bingfeng didn’t manage to kill the young master.”

Whispering this to herself, Yun Luo’s face showed a hint of joy, her guilty feeling within dissipating greatly.

”The young master treated me well, appointing me to oversee all maids and servants after joining Qin Mansion, never humiliating or touching me... such a master, yet I betrayed him...”

Walking down the corridor, Yun Luo recalled Qin Tian’s kindness, juxtaposing it with Nangong Minghua’s arrogant ruthlessness, and Nangong Bingfeng’s utter disregard; tears uncontrollably flowed.

Originally planning to report Nangong Bingfeng and Qin Tian’s simultaneous departure from Qin Mansion to the City Lord Mansion, she found herself caught up in her father’s situation upon arrival, unable to report it, only to be humiliated by Nangong Minghua, nearly losing her father...

Getting angrier with each thought, she collapsed in a corridor corner, helplessly sobbing.

”Yun Luo, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Qin Tian, having concluded a meeting with Xiao Zhuang and others, walked out and upon seeing Yun Luo, was taken aback.

”I wonder if she’s reported about my meeting with Nangong Bingfeng to Nangong Minghua yet? Hmm, it could be troublesome.”

Looking at Yun Luo, Qin Tian was uneasy, worried.

”Young master... this maid, this maid has something to report...sob sob...”

Through tearful eyes, Yun Luo looked at Qin Tian, stood up, and said: ”Young master, this maid owes you an apology...sob sob sob...”

After hesitating, Yun Luo decided to confess about her undercover role to Qin Tian.

In Qin Tian’s study, Yun Luo revealed the truth, directly kneeling before him, crying and admitting fault.

”Did you also report my meeting with Nangong Bingfeng today to the City Lord Mansion?” Qin Tian’s concern peaked.

”Not yet...I didn’t know the outcome, so I didn’t report it. I thought the third young master—Nangong Bingfeng would be able to kill you, in which case I wouldn’t need to report this event, so I didn’t consider reporting... Who knew... Young master, this maid deserves ten thousand deaths, nearly caused your demise!”

Yun Luo knelt, filled with remorse.

Upon hearing Yun Luo’s words, Qin Tian finally felt at ease, exhaling deeply.

”Yun Luo, why did you choose to reveal the truth to me today?” Qin Tian curiously inquired.

”Because of my father...sob sob...I was raised by only my father from a young age; he’s my only family, but he’s a compulsive gambler...”

Yun Luo recounted Yun Dahai’s gambling debts to Qin Tian, saying:

”The City Lord not only ignored me in my hour of need but also threatened to kill my father. My father is still imprisoned in the City Lord Mansion cage, uncertain whether he’s alive or dead...sob sob...”
