“You’ve saved me twice, I’m willing to serve you like an ox or horse for the rest of my life…”

“No need.” Yang Ruxin waved her hand hurriedly, “I’ve said it, I’m not interested in any treasure, I don’t lack silver, I just want to live peacefully, you can leave tomorrow, and I can even give you some travel money…”

“Miss, I won’t leave.”

Yang Ruxin’s face darkened, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”

“If you kill me, the treasure will also end up in your hands,” Du Juan said with a smug smile, “Those people will also come looking for you.

Even if you hand over the item to them, they will still silence you, and you definitely won’t just sit back and await death, so…”

“Damn it!” Yang Ruxin became furious, stepped forward, and grabbed Du Juan by the throat, “No one has dared to threaten me before…”

Du Juan’s face immediately turned red with suffocation, “Miss…I’m sorry…if I die…peel off the treasure map…” Then she actually closed her eyes.

Yang Ruxin narrowed her eyes slightly, and eventually, she let go of her grip.

“Cough cough…” Du Juan coughed violently, slowly calming down, and then once again knelt on the ground, “Thank you, Miss.

Du Juan can only repay your great kindness by offering my utmost devotion…” She bet that Miss Yang would have sympathy for her, and now, she had won the bet.

“Du Juan, I don’t want to kill someone in my own home, but remember, just because I don’t want to, doesn’t mean I won’t…” Yang Ruxin looked at Du Juan coldly, “You can stay if you want, but it’s better if you behave.

Otherwise, I will make your life a living hell.”

“Rest assured, Miss.

From now on, Du Juan’s life belongs to the Miss,” Du Juan said as she knocked her head on the floor heavily.

“Swallow this.” Yang Ruxin took out a medicine pill.

Without asking what it was, Du Juan looked at Yang Ruxin, took it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering, and then…

she suddenly began to feel itchy, more and more so, yet she didn’t know where it was coming from.

Desperate to scratch but unable to find the spot, she found the discomfort so unbearable she nearly wanted to hit her head against the wall…

thankfully, the intense itching sensation passed quickly.

Du Juan looked at Yang Ruxin in terror.

“No one has ever threatened me and come out unscathed,” Yang Ruxin scoffed, “If you dare to act, you must pay the price.

From now on, you’ll suffer every day, and the duration will increase.

If one day you can’t take it anymore, just tell me, and I’ll give you the antidote and let you get lost…”

“Thank you, Miss.” Du Juan knocked her head on the floor again.

Yang Ruxin turned and slammed the door as she left.

Du Juan exhaled with relief, thankful that she was allowed to stay; as for the suffering…

she wasn’t afraid!

Standing in the courtyard, Yang Ruxin watched the east beginning to lighten, and although she hadn’t slept, she didn’t feel the least bit tired, mostly because Du Juan had infuriated her.

Where had that girl’s cool facade gone?

Damn it, did she really look like such a sucker?

At that moment, a figure approached, draping a cloak over her shoulders.

“Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?” Yang Ruxin turned around.

“How could I possibly sleep if you’re still awake?” Gu Qingheng said with a smile.

Yang Ruxin felt her face heat up for no apparent reason.

The words seemed straightforward, but she had detected a hint of insinuation in his tone…

luckily it was dark, and he couldn’t see her discomfort.

She coughed quickly to cover her embarrassment, “I hadn’t expected that Prince Kang really had a treasure map…”
