"Of course I want to!" Facing the maid's inquiry, Lu Rou nearly shouted.
If she could, she would rush to the Duke's Estate right now and snatch her precious Yier back. How dare that bitch Xu Yuan fail to treat Yier well? The more Lu Rou thought about it, the more furious she became, yet as long as the truth remained hidden behind that thin veil, she could do nothing. She knew all too well that while Brother Yunan might indulge her in trivial matters, once something touched upon essential issues—especially those concerning himself—a few coquettish words would not be enough to solve them. She might even be discarded.
In the past, Lu Rou would have been confident that her Brother Yunan would never treat her that way, but now, she had no certainty at all. She even feared becoming the next Xu Yuan. Just thinking about it made the unease in her heart grow stronger. Seeing the maid still standing there, she raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
