Lisa had no intention of fighting with the female lead over the male lead. She was still hoping they’d quickly fall deeply in love and roll in the hay until they could no longer get up. Thus, she tried to speak a few words in defense of the male lead.


However, just as she was about to do so, two servants came by from the other side of the artificial mountain.

They obviously didn’t see the stooping women as well as the male lead and the others who had just passed by earlier, as they talked happily between themselves, standing there and speaking for even longer as though they were scared that people wouldn’t be able to hear their words.

While the world within a novel wasn’t something you could control; the scenarios within were really something that could change because of your thoughts and perceptions!

“I’ve heard that Eunha's family has arrived. Choosing today of all days, are they here to make things difficult for Old Madame?”

“That’s right; they’re really looking down on Prince and Old Madame. The Prince already gave the order for them to be dragged away before they entered. I heard that below, the woman was almost beaten to death.”

“Sigh, talking about it, Eunha really is pitiful. She just wanted to climb up on a high branch, and which maid in the manor doesn’t dream of that? Even those mistresses of his and young ladies outside also hope for the day that they will be able to get close to Prince, not to mention the maids. Only this time, she was unlucky and paid the price in blood…”

“Yes, the Prince was really too brutal, being so hard on a mere girl…”

“This isn’t some rare thing. I’ve heard people say that while he was at war, the Prince captured women from the enemy and forced them to submit to his subordinates until they died…”

“Really?!”

“I heard it from the soldiers, how can it be false?”

As Bai Lisa listened to this gossip, she looked at the face of the female lead opposite her. Her face slowly changed from pink to a pale, and from pale to white, completely bloodless. When the two servants left, she immediately spoke up for the male lead without hesitation.

Although the female lead would still be captured when she escaped, if they all directly reached a happy ending just like this, wouldn’t she be thrown out of the manor earlier? Right, although the old madame would plead for them at that point, she needed an exit strategy that didn’t involve her coming back to this scary manor! She absolutely needed to seduce the male supporting character to come for her at that time.

In order to plan for her own future, she immediately waved her hands, “You should not listen to them talking rubbish. That maid was killed by staves because she harmed the Prince, while the matter of the army is definitely not true. The Prince is especially caring towards the women in the complex… well, that’s wrong, he’s extremely cold, but he doesn’t randomly beat or kill them as he likes! Or kill them!”

Hey hey hey, why was the female lead’s eyes looking past her head, even revealing an expression of fear?

Looking beside her, even Xiao Shi was kneeling on the ground, frantically tugging at her mistress's clothes. Sadly, she had been too engrossed in explaining to the female lead to notice. Lisa could only feel a chill within her heart, at the same time deeply believing the law of nature that when the female lead appeared, bad things would definitely happen.

As her head stiffly completed its turn, she found the male lead, the male supporting character and the other young masters all standing in a row behind her. Their expressions varied, but their attention was completely focused on her.
