Lisa’s expression at first was perplexed, then astonished. After that, she ended up staring speechlessly at Jungkook before her face turned beet red. This guy was surely taking liberties with her! Jungkook was amused as he watched her face flip through various expressions. He couldn’t help but feel that this girl was too innocent and cute. Everything she felt was written clearly on her face.

Unfortunately, someone so free of schemes was due to be bullied sooner or later.

But he couldn’t hold back a light cough upon seeing her reddened face. He couldn’t sit any longer in this room that smelled of medicine and said, “Rest well,” before standing up to leave.

Xiao Shi and Ye-mama escorted him out before they let out a collective breath. Everyone said pinning down a lady’s thoughts was like trying to find a needle at the bottom of the sea, but it looked like understanding men’s thoughts were even harder. Perhaps His Highness harboured feelings for their mistress, but he never sat here for long when he came to visit. He’d only come for a look before hurrying away. Perhaps he didn’t have any feelings, but he didn’t visit any of the other madames. It was really hard to figure him out.

Still, Lisa felt relieved. Sticking a giant man in her room only made her feel the pressure of an entire mountain. Her muscles relaxed when he left, and only then did she feel the pain from her wound. As a result, a message was passed on that Madame Lisa spent an entire sleepless night crying from pain.

The next morning, the one who’d reported this information was currently feeding Bai Lisa medicine.

Her mission here was to help Madame Lisa seduce the prince. Though she couldn’t be too obvious, she could still assist from the sidelines.

See now, hadn’t the doctor dropped by again early morning? He only left after making sure she was all right. Ye-mama was now certain that the prince still had feelings for their mistress. Once her injury was healed, wouldn’t they move thunder and fire together?

After digging out the truth of the situation, she reported it to the old madame, who also felt that this Miss Bai was quite unlucky. Her body was either constantly being scared witless, or getting hurt by rogues. Fortunately, her personality wasn’t bad. Ye-mama had commended her highly, only mentioning how she seemed a bit clumsy and awkward, with no ambitions.

Being stupid was fine, and so was having no ambition. Only then could her heart match that of the future lady of the house, saving her mother-in-law the pain of worrying over these junior members of the family. The old madame’s health had been getting worse and worse recently so it looked like she’d have to guide and teach Bai Lisa after her injury healed.

Lisa was still young after all. Between the meticulous care, she was provided with and her youthful recovery abilities, she was almost back to full form in ten days.

In those ten days, Taehyung had also sent people with gifts, inquiring after her. However, bound by propriety, they were all delivered to the prince for him to forward them along.

Supporting males, you’re too just and honourable! Lisa felt less and less confident. She’d already taken a knife for him and still saw no results. Was he still in the dark about her intentions? She gritted her teeth. Next time, she had to find a chance to bring it out into the open. If he was interested, she’d continue. If he wasn’t, then she would prepare to stay here quietly for a year, then prick herself with the cactus to return.

Just then, the old madame sent people to summon her. Clueless, Lisa dressed and brought Ye-mama and Xiao Shi to slowly make the walkover.

Although her injury had recovered over these 10 days, her face had thinned with weight loss. She swayed as she walked, looking gentle and lovely as well as extremely pitiful. There was no helping it. Beauties were beauties regardless of time and place.
