The next day, Princess Lucy summoned Xu Nuo to her garden restaurant.
Xu Nuo, after changing into new clothes and applying a light layer of powder, finally felt presentable to others. She said sincerely, "Princess Lucy, thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome. I was an old acquaintance of your father, so it's only right to take care of his daughter," Princess Lucy smiled elegantly.
Xu Nuo was quite curious about the actual relationship between Princess Lucy and her father that made her so kind. But the words stuck in her throat, and she gave up: She dared not ask.
Now, the most important thing was to stay alive.
"You might not know this, but Ye Huang has stolen the jade bead and it might have already been delivered to the empress," Princess Lucy said.
Xu Nuo's heart sank. So it was Ye Huang who took the jade bead. He also killed Mr. and Mrs. Alan... How pitiable her father must be, perhaps still unaware of the whereabouts of the beads!
