Zheng Nianru nervously clutched Xing Yu's sleeve, stepping back.
"Xing Yu, shall we go back?" Zheng Nianru did not want to take risks, not feeling at all dishonored by her inconsistency. She did not expect to rescue anyone from this place and thought it very likely that she herself might end up in danger.
Xing Yu nodded as well, and the two of them slowly retreated. Suddenly, there was another noise from inside the cave, which made Zheng Nianru's legs give out, and she slipped. Xing Yu hurriedly reached out to help her.
"Commandery Princess, are you all right?" Xing Yu checked Zheng Nianru's ankle. Nanny Yun had just brought back a handful of firewood when she saw Zheng Nianru fall and hurried over, about to scold someone, but Xing Yu quickly covered Nanny Yun's mouth and pointed to the cave.
"How can there be someone? Go and take a look, Xing Yu." The Commandery Princess had sneaked out; it would be troublesome if they were discovered.
