Clang!

The clas.h.i.+ng of metal produced a grating sound.

However, even Mr. Chens invincible blade could not break the chains.

Refusing to accept the outcome, he raised his knife and tried to slash the chains in Lu Liangweis hands again.

This time, even Lu Liangwei was starting to become disheartened and anxious.

What material were these chains made of? Why could the lock not be opened, and why could the chains not be destroyed by such a sharp knife?

Mr. Chen was panting, his face twisted into a frown. He waved a hand at Yuan Xin. Im afraid I cant remove these chains. Youll have to consult someone more skilled than myself. With that, he packed up his tools to leave.

Yuan Xin had no choice but to let her trusted maidservant see him out through the back entrance.

Although the mansions servants did not dare to search her courtyard, inviting a locksmith over so suddenly would definitely rouse their suspicion. Therefore, she had taken care to bring him over as discreetly as possible.

No one knew about this except the people who served her in her courtyard.

After the locksmith was gone, Yuan Xin saw Lu Liangwei leaning against a pillar in the corridor, tugging at the chains in her hands. The downhearted look on her face filled Yuan Xin with guilt. Im sorry for letting you down. Ill order my servants to look for another locksmith tomorrow.

Lu Liangwei put down the chains and shook her head. No need to trouble yourself. Since Mr. Chen couldnt remove them, I doubt other locksmiths can. Lets not worry about this matter for now to avoid rousing suspicion.

But your chains

Never mind. They dont really affect my movements, anyway. Lu Liangwei did not feel too negative about it.

She refused to believe that Long Chis key was the only thing that could unlock her chains. She was certain that a person with exceptional internal strength could break them. In fact, even her dagger might be able to slice them apart.

However, that would have to wait until she got back to Great Shang.

By the way, can you help me send a letter? Suddenly, she turned her head and asked Yuan Xin.

Yuan Xin was startled. Where to?

Great Shang. Lu Liangwei narrowed her eyes.

She was now trapped in the Yan Kingdom, and she might not be able to make it back to Great Shang on her own.

For safetys sake, she needed to send a letter to inform Long Yang that she was in the Prince Rui Mansion in the Yan Kingdom.

Once he knew, he would definitely send someone to fetch her.

Besides, it would put him at ease to let him know that she was safe for now.

Unfortunately, this place was more than a thousand Li away from the imperial capital of Great Shang.

It would take ages for him to receive the letter.

Yuan Xin had already guessed that she was from Great Shang, so she was not too surprised to hear that. Which part of Great Shang?

The Minister of Revenues Mansion in the imperial capital, said Lu Liangwei slowly.

She could not expose her own ident.i.ty. Even if Yuan Xin would not harm her, there was no guarantee that she would not leak the information to someone else.

If the Yan Kingdoms imperial family were to discover her ident.i.ty, even Yuan Xin would not be able to protect her.

There was plenty that the Yan Kingdom could achieve if they had her in their grasp.

She refused to let herself become someone elses bargaining chip that gave them the upper hand over Long Yang.

Of course. Just give me the letter, and Ill have my servants mail it for you, Yuan Xin agreed to her request.

Thank you. Lu Liangwei held her hand gratefully.

Hearing this, Yuan Xin winked and could not help herself from teasing her, You can thank me by healing my face.

Dont worry. If I cant heal your face, you can hold me captive and keep me by your side forever, Lu Liangwei promised.

Gazing at her gorgeous face, Yuan Xin suddenly said jokingly, If youre really willing to stay with me forever, it wont matter whether my face heals or not anymore.

Lu Liangweis lips turned up. Have you been lonely for too long? Arent you worried that Im a bad person?
