Unless he was a pervert who liked to mess with other people’s wives.
She was lost in thought, when she bumped into a child. She quickly regained her senses. “I’m sorry, are you alright?”
The child had its head lowered and was dressed very plainly. It was impossible to tell if the child was a boy or a girl.
The child shook its head and ran away.
Stunned, Gu Bailu quickly touched her waist…
Hehe, she had been pickpocketed!
She was the mighty Princess Zi, the former Heavenly Emperor’s woman. She had once turned the world upside down, and possessed the powerful Heavenly Eye, but a little kid had stolen her purse?
If word got out, there was no reason for her to live.
F*ck. Gu Bailu chased after the child and took out a bottle of elixir from her sleeve.
Ye Ying ran after her like the wind and shouted, “Princess, wait! Mind your body!”
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t catch up.
The kid looked back and saw Gu Bailu chasing after him. His face changed, and he ran with all his might.
“Stop right there, you damn kid. Minors should be good. If you stop, I’ll spare your life, otherwise I’ll spank you black and blue,” Gu Bailu shouted as she chased him.
She took the acceleration medicine and ran faster than a horse. She soon caught up.
The child panicked and crawled under a carriage parked by the roadside.
Gu Bailu gasped with her hands on her waist. “Come out…”
She could chase after someone with a big belly, but she couldn’t squat down and pull the child out…
“Kid, don’t you feel guilty for making me chase you for such a long distance when I’m carrying such a big ball?”
Gu Bailu took a breath. “Let me tell you, when I was young, I once stole the Earth from the heavens, but was almost beaten to death. I repented after that and walked a different route. Now, I’m a total success and very rich… You don’t profit from doing this. Come out… I’ll teach you how to be successful.”
A group of onlookers surrounded them.
You could catch thieves this way?
“Look at this world. It’s bright and beautiful. The sun rises in the morning and sets at night. There are flowers in spring and snow in winter. You’re a flower of the motherland… You should be a beautiful flower, not a turtle hiding under a carriage.”
The child didn’t come out.
Ye Ying caught up to her. “Princess, I’ll get him out.”
Gu Bailu stopped her.
“We should let the beautiful flower come out on its own. If we drag him out, we’ll cripple him.”
Ye Ying: “…”
Why did they have to think so much when catching a thief? They should get the item back first.
“Do you know, I can cut this carriage apart along with you with one strike of my palm. Do you know why I haven’t done so?” Gu Bailu was still trying to earnestly persuade the kid.
To be honest, in Rhine City, anyone who dared to steal so brazenly really had balls.
This kid had a bright future ahead of him.
The onlookers: “Why…”
Everyone could tell with one look that Gu Bailu didn’t have an ordinary identity, be it in her bearing or her maid.
It was very easy for her if she wanted someone to die.
Gu Bailu sighed heavily. “Because the money in my purse isn’t enough to pay for the carriage.”
Everyone: “Hehe…”
“Little friend, you should know your limits. Don’t do anything that isn’t worth it.”
There was no movement from the child. He was on his knees and curled in on himself so that only the top of his head could be seen.
Gu Bailu rubbed her forehead. “Ye Ying, get me a cup of sugar water. My mouth is dry.”
