"Those people will be dead by the time he calms down from his fury." Gu Bailu certainly couldn't just stand by.
"Then I'll go with you." Though scared, Qian'er couldn't let Gu Bailu face him alone.
Gu Bailu hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything, and used a teleportation rune to take her and Qian'er to the main courtyard.
As soon as she arrived, she heard blood-curdling screams, and saw some servants kneeling in front of the garden.
A man was lying on a bench as he was beaten with a stick as thick as the width of a bowl. He screamed in agony every time the stick hit him.
Gu Bailu recognized him as the butler who had sent her the plum blossoms.
He was the steward with the highest status among the servants in the crown prince's residence. It was said that Lu Fenying trusted him deeply as he had worked here since he was young.
He could make decisions on everything in the residence as long as they didn't affect Lu Fenying.
