Zhu Yu's legs gave out when she saw Lu Liangwei walk inside. Chu Jiu managed to catch her before she fell to the ground.
"Jiu…" Zhu Yu's face was full of tears when she turned to look at Chu Jiu.
Chu Jiu pursed her lips and said nothing. She tugged on Zhu Yu's hand and dragged her out of the bedchamber.
It was only once they were in the garden that she released Zhu Yu's hand. She looked at her grimly. "Zhu Yu, you must not let Her Highness find out about this, do you understand?" Zhu Yu had almost let it slip. Chu Jiu could not even begin to imagine what would happen if Her Highness found out about the Third Princess.
Zhu Yu lowered her head and stared blearily at the tips of her feet. "I know, but… Is it right of us to keep this from her?" There was still no news of the Third Princess and Her Highness did not even know of her existence. Was this even fair to Third Princess?
