Lu Liangwei glanced at him coldly.

Long Chi noticed this and he caressed her long hair with a hint of exasperation. “I know you’re angry at me for treating you this way, but I really don’t want to lose you.”

Lu Liangwei closed her eyes in disgust.

Long Chi felt slightly disappointed.

He realized he liked her more than he thought during this period he spent with her, but it was as if her heart was made out of metal and there was no way of moving her.

He gave a low sigh and stood up to leave.

Lu Liangwei opened her eyes when she heard the door shut.

She carefully listened for any movement outside the door and when she was confident it was silent out there, she moved her fingers. However, she did not dare make any sudden noises.

Long Chi would usually leave someone behind to watch over her when he was away.

That was why she had guessed that Liu Fu or Jiang Chong was guarding right outside the door.

She waited for a while more and, when she was sure there was no one outside, she sat up and tore her bedsheet into several pieces. She tied them to the chains on her ankles so that they would not make any noise when the chains dragged on the ground while she walked.

Lu Liangwei finally got off the bed after doing all this.

She first went to a pot of bonsai situated in the corner and spat out the remainder of the medicinal herb from her mouth and into the pot.

This medicinal herb was able to temporarily numb a person’s pressure point. She had kept it in her mouth and after chewing it, the juice flowed into her body and this had caused Liu Fu’s activation of her pressure point to be ineffective.

She quietly approached the window and gently pushed it open a fraction. She looked outside and saw that there was no one around. It was only then that she felt it was safe enough to open the window completely and climb out through it.

Jiang Chong or Liu Fu must be guarding outside the room and since there were no servants in the courtyard, it was her best chance of making an escape.

Lu Liangwei did not head for the courtyard because her room was facing the courtyard’s gates. If she went in that direction, she would be quickly discovered.

When she pretended to fall down earlier, she spotted a hole in the corner of the wall in the bamboo forest. If she was not mistaken, that must lead outside.

She held the chains in her hands and decided to run in that direction.

It was fortunate that she had wrapped her chains up in cloth. The chains did not make a sound now even when she was running.

When she reached the bamboo forest, she pushed apart the flowers and weeds covering the hole and then bent down to crawl out of it.

However, when she raised her head, she saw that a woman in fine apparel was standing there, looking at her in astonishment.

Lu Liangwei quietly cursed her bad luck, but she quickly stood up without hesitation and placed her chains around the lady’s neck. She said viciously, “Don’t make a sound, or I’ll kill you immediately.”

Shocked, the woman did not dare move.

“Where are the back gates? Bring me there!” Lu Liangwei ordered.

The woman nodded in panic and raised her hand to point in a direction.

Lu Liangwei immediately nudged her forward.

As they walked, some servants passed by occasionally and Lu Liangwei could only try making her presence inconspicuous while pushing the woman along.

The woman had already calmed down at this point. She gave this some consideration and tested the waters by saying, “Miss, you don’t need to go through so much trouble just to leave the Prince Rui Mansion. I can help you. Besides, there are many eyes and ears at Prince Rui Mansion and you would be discovered very soon this way.”

Lu Liangwei knew this very well. Moreover, she was also feeling a little anxious.

She was worried that Jiang Chong and Liu Fu would soon discover that she had escaped. If that happened, it would be even more difficult for her to try and leave Prince Rui Mansion.

Lu Liangwei thought carefully after hearing the woman’s words. She said, “If you help me get out here, I will give you medicine to make the scar on your face disappear and you can get back your original looks.”
