Chapter 1142: The Imperial City, Hanging by a Thread

At this moment, Chu Qianli looked like a cunning gray wolf.

Even Fu Ning could easily tell that she harboured some ill intentions.

But the girl had long been used to seeing all kinds of handsome men, and shouldn't have had any special thoughts about Qingcheng.

Could it be that the girl still doubted Qingcheng's origins?

Just then, a little maid hurried in from outside, walked up to Chu Qianli, and respectfully said:

"Miss Chu, there is a man outside named Mr. Gan who wishes to see you, claiming to be an old friend of yours."

"Alright, let him in, I'll be waiting in the side hall."

Chu Qianli gave Qingcheng another look before turning to leave.

Fu Ning wanted to follow her but couldn't bear to leave Qingcheng unattended.

She softly said, "The lady means no harm; she is a very good person, just that sometimes she seems heartless and careless. But she truly is kind-hearted."

"I am going to check if the lady needs anything, and I'll come back for you later."
