After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 427: Deception

Gan Luo sensed that Lin Fengmian was preoccupied with something, and at that moment he felt a little puzzled, wondering what Lin Fengmian was worried about. Then Gan Luo walked directly up to Lin Fengmian.

When Lin Fengmian saw Gan Luo's arrival, he was a little confused. He wondered why Gan Luo had walked up to him out of nowhere. Gan Luo was about to ask Lin Fengmian this question.

"I sense that you seem a little uneasy. Could it be that something has happened? Why don't you tell me now?"

For a moment, Lin Fengmian didn't know what to say to Gan Luo, and then he just sighed. At this moment, Lin Fengmian just shook his head to indicate that nothing had happened. Gan Luo was not a fool; he was a smart man.

"Don't even think about deceiving me here. After all, you can't fool me. I hope you can tell the truth. If you dare to deceive me here, my patience is limited. I hope you understand this."

Lin Fengmian had originally planned to deceive Gan Luo, but now it seemed that he couldn't fool Gan Luo at all, so Lin Fengmian could only sigh silently.

"Regarding these matters, I actually did not want to tell Your Highness, because I felt that some things were better left unsaid and left to remain unsaid."

The thought that Gan Luo had berated Lin Fengmian so harshly naturally made those around him feel a little confused.

"Why do you think Her Highness keeps scolding Guard Lin here? It seems like something's happened between Her Highness and Guard Lin."

They were all talking at once, and Gan Luo, hearing their chatter, naturally punished them all.

Everyone had already received fifteen strokes of the cane, and the palace maids must have felt utterly unlucky at that moment.

If they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have said those things, and they wouldn't have ended up getting punished later. Everyone was sighing, and some of them were naturally rubbing their buttocks and groaning.

They returned to their room and lay down on the bed. When Green Bamboo saw their miserable state, she felt that they really shouldn't have done that...

"I only said a few words about Her Highness the Princess here, so why am I being punished by her? I really don't understand this. And was there anything wrong with what I said? I really don't understand why Her Highness the Princess would punish me now."

At this moment, the palace maid dressed in purple hurriedly spoke to the person in front of her. "Xiao Cui, it's best not to say such things, lest Her Highness the Princess overhears and gets angry again, and we'll all be in deep trouble. After all, we all know Her Highness's temperament, don't we?"

They all nodded in agreement as they listened. How could they not understand Gan Luo's temperament? At this moment, they truly felt that Gan Luo was being quite unreasonable, and more importantly, Gan Luo...

The palace maid then turned her attention to them and asked about their injuries. Upon hearing this, they all sighed silently, but said nothing more.

Because they knew that if Gan Luo overheard their conversation, they would be in deep trouble; they weren't that stupid.

After all, they had been staying in the princess's residence for a while, so how could they not know how to do these things?

Only this palace maid in front of them seemed like a fool, understanding nothing. They could only sigh silently here.

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have done those things later, and things wouldn't have turned out this way."

The palace maid who had just done that was naturally filled with regret.

Unfortunately, there are no second chances in this world. This palace maid, clutching her backside, wanted to sit down at that moment.

But then he shuddered in pain and jumped right out of bed. He was just thinking about what to do next to make things more feasible.

They all pondered this for a while, and finally decided to apologize to Gan Luo.

Gan Luo had already sent people to deliver medicine to them, since these people were, after all, people from the princess's residence.

They were also allowed to rest and recuperate here for half a month. When these people learned of this, they all felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. They never expected that Gan Luo would allow them to rest and recuperate here for half a month.

At first, they thought Gan Luo would immediately send them to work, but to their surprise, Gan Luo brought them ointment and let them rest and recuperate here.

“Your Highness… why do I find your personality a bit hard to understand? I’ve been in this princess’s residence for so long, and I still can’t figure out your thoughts.”

"If we could understand things better now, things wouldn't have turned out this way, you know?"

If this princess's personality is easy to understand, wouldn't she be easy for others to manipulate?

"It seems that's indeed the case. Oh well, we just need to do our own thing. After all, we are not equal to Her Highness the Princess. Her Highness is of noble birth, while we are not. We are just servants."

They were all lying here, with some ointment applied. Before long, white porridge and side dishes were brought over.

They were all a little confused about Gan Luo's intentions in doing this.

Naturally, everyone here has been thinking about this issue.

Lin Fengmian naturally remained hidden in the shadows, observing them all the time. He had assumed that Gan Luo would be dealt with once he returned, but it turned out that he hadn't.
