energy. Yet, their master simply acquiesced and did nothing, silently enduring it all.He didn't stop until he had absorbed three tenths of his master's internal energy.As for why he absorbed only 30%...The masked man didn't know that An Xuetang had the special ability to hear everything within a fifty-meter radius very clearly.

So he continued talking to the sleeping beauty on the bed, completely unaware of the danger.

"Zhi'er, I have to say, seeing her care for Mo Yunjing so much makes me a little envious. I envy her for being able to be so devoted to one person."

As he spoke, the man looked into the sleeping beauty's eyes, a flicker of regret and remorse crossing his face.

"Seeing her today, brave enough to return with me just for Mo Yunjing, I couldn't help but wonder: If we had once possessed the courage to pursue love like her, perhaps our ending would be different."

"In my opinion, she and Mo Yunjing are on the same horse, heading in the same direction. What about us Do we still have a chance to ride the same horse"

The man muttered to himself for what seemed like an eternity. An Xuetang, listening intently, started to feel drowsy.

Finally, the man himself probably got tired of it, and he left the Sleeping Beauty's room afterward.

However, he did not return to his own room, but went to the room of his so-called goddaughter.

The woman's body trembled instinctively when she heard someone say he had arrived. Her expression was flustered, and she quickly instructed the other maids in the room to carry the bruised and battered maid out.

The man entered the woman's room without knocking, his cold eyes fixed on the disarray within. His gaze was locked on her.

The woman, terrified, plopped to her knees and said in a trembling voice:

" Godfather, I...I... it's not that I wanted to punish her, it's...it's because she doesn't care about her daughter and even stole things from her."

"..." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When they heard her playing the victim, the maids in the room didn't dare speak up, but each one of them held a grudge against her.

These maidservants live in fear of displeasing their mistress. Every day they tiptoe around her, terrified that a single misstep will anger her. Even if heaven gave them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare steal from her!

It was her who always made them lie down whenever she felt bad, beating them at random. But now, to avoid being blamed by the master, she shamelessly lied and even accused them of having dirty hands and stealing things!

They all hated her with a passion, but what could they do about it now

Why is this woman the mistress's goddaughter

The master would bring back a new "goddaughter" almost every few days. He'd let her be the young mistress for a while, and then she'd mysteriously disappear without a trace.

This kind of thing happens over and over again, they've already experienced it several times, so even though the "young lady" they met this time has a bad temper and hits people easily, they still think that as long as they endure this period of time, this "young lady" will always be sent away!

The masked man's cold eyes stared at her. The woman trembled more and more, as if she felt completely naked and exposed before him, with nowhere to hide!

However, luckily, the man just gave her a cold glance and didn't punish her.

Remember, avoid getting involved with the people in the courtyard, especially the Northern Border Princess. You are no match for her.

The woman's hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched into fists. She was deeply resentful, but facing the masked man's instructions, she still nodded obediently on her face. "Daughter remembers, Father."

"Having said that, she looked up at the man, "Uncle, that Northern Frontier Princess doesn't seem like someone who knows medicine. Uncle, don't be deceived by her."

The man in the mask narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, "Are you here to interfere with this old man's decision"

"No no"

The woman shook her head repeatedly, frightened. "No, no, daughter doesn't dare, daughter just..."

The masked man was too lazy to speak to such a foolish woman. If she wasn't useful to him, he wouldn't waste his time and energy coming over to say more than a word to her!

Before the woman could finish her sentence, the masked man snorted heavily, "Remember, if you don't want to die, don't go provoking the Princess of Beijang. Don't even think about doing anything too much with the King of Beijang she cares about or his brother, or else this little life of yours... This old man won't be able to save you."

After saying that, the masked man turned and left.

Before leaving, he glanced at the maidservant on the ground and let out a cold snort, "Drag her away and bury her!"

"!!!"

The maidservant on the ground is still a living person, didn't he just say to bury her!

Even this woman was startled.

But who here would dare to defy the master's wishes

He had to obey his orders!

After the man left, the woman instantly collapsed to the ground, letting out a deep sigh of relief!

After being dragged down and buried, she looked up at the remaining people in the room, saying with a smug and righteous air:

"Can't you all see that My godfather still loves me. Anyone who goes against me won't end well!"

"Speaking of which, a very smug expression appeared on her face. "So from now on, all of you better listen to this young lady and do things my way. Otherwise, your fate will be just like that wretched girl's—buried alive! Understand"r's brow furrowed. "Replying to Your Highness, Zhao Li went into the restricted area and came out shortly after, but instead of returning to his courtyard upon leaving, he exited the manor."Have you l...
