Chapter 298 The Background of the Two Sisters

Liu Ruxuan was thrown into the woodshed. Since being kidnapped, she hadn't had a drop of water, and her throat was parched. Ignoring everything else, Liu Ruxuan desperately tried to sense the spiritual energy within her body, but to no avail!

Liu Ruxuan took a deep breath, slowly calmed herself down, and began to gently untangle the strands of spiritual energy within her body. Half an hour passed, and Liu Ruxuan finally managed to untangle a few strands of spiritual energy. She then slowly guided the spiritual energy to the various sealed meridians, patiently opening them up.

Deep within a dense bamboo forest, on the edge of a towering cliff, two people dressed in black cloaks stood against the wind.

"You did a good job this time," the man said quietly.

The woman smiled shyly: "I am deeply grateful for the Second Prince's favor."

"Heh," the man chuckled, turning to look at the woman, "After all this time of training, you've never disappointed me."

The woman's eyes were full of allure as she softly said, "Second Prince."

The man walked towards the woman, gently stroking her face with his right hand, and said, "Chu Jie, if you hadn't been someone else's leftovers, after all the times we've made love, I could have given you a proper status in the future..."

Chu Jie was jolted, feeling as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water, her whole body chilled to the bone.

"Second, what does the Second Prince mean? Chu Jie is truly devoted to you..." Chu Jie looked into Ye Mobei's eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Do you know why this prince wants you as an inside agent?

"Why, why?" Chu Jie clenched her right fist so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh without feeling any pain.

"Four years ago, a landlord surnamed Zhu in Mingliang City, it is said, took a fancy to a young woman who had fled to the countryside, along with her son. The young woman also had a younger sister and claimed that her family had been killed by bandits..."

A month later, the young woman married the landlord's son as a concubine. On their wedding night, she ran away with her younger sister. On the way, they were tricked by villains and sold to a brothel.

After spending two years in a brothel, he escaped and wandered aimlessly, enduring much hardship, before finally being taken in by the head of Yongrentang.

Chu Jie's body was trembling uncontrollably, and tears kept streaming from her eyes. She never expected that Ye Mobei would investigate her!

"I'm just curious, since that young woman escaped from the landlord's house, why hasn't anyone come to capture her in the past few years?" Ye Mobei gently stroked Chu Jie's hair.

"Because, because that woman offered herself as a condition to ask the customer for the secret manual, and after half a year of cultivation, she finally achieved some success and killed those dissolute scoundrels in one fell swoop!"

When Chu Jie said this, her eyes showed humiliation, resentment, sadness, and hatred. She bit her lower lip hard.

"Does the Second Prince also think that Chu Jie is an impure person?"

“Heh,” Ye Mobei chuckled, “In this world, who is truly cleaner than anyone else? It’s just that, Chu Jie, you’ve certainly had a rough life.”

"From now on, Second Prince, you are Chu Jie's life." Chu Jie closed her eyes, a bleak smile on her lips.

"Very well then." Ye Mobei walked gracefully behind Chu Jie and said, "We were husband and wife after all. Chu Xia, I will spare her life. You may go now."

A gust of wind swept by, and Chu Jie was stunned. Her hands unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. She turned around and looked longingly at Ye Mobei's back. Scenes of their beautiful memories floated into her mind, and tears fell involuntarily once again.

"It seems that Chu Jie has become a burden to His Highness," Chu Jie murmured.
