Su Nuo sighed softly, her face drooping slightly. "Master doesn't like my eyes, so —"

"What?" Xue Rou immediately cried out in alarm and grabbed Su Nuo's hand, "Big sister, are you going to make yourself blind? I absolutely can't let this happen. "

Su Nuo could not bear to let Xue Rou worry, so she smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just asking. If Master really doesn't like my eyes at that time, I can take the medicine myself to reduce a lot of pain. If Master didn't say anything, I definitely wouldn't have done it."

Xue Rou looked at Su Nuo. "Really?"

Su Nuo nodded. He couldn't help but feel that Xue Rou really was a very good person.

Xue Rou grasped Su Nuo's hand tightly. "Big sister, don't worry. I will definitely speak good words for big sister in front of Prince. I definitely won't let Prince have such thoughts, absolutely not."

Su Nuo continued to smile softly.

Within the wooden house, Su Nuo dug up a small box from the corner of the wall. Su Nuo carefully opened it to reveal a small coin ornament.

Su Nuo took it out and looked at it carefully in her hand. This was the birthday present the Third Marquis gave her when he was fourteen. She knew that this item was definitely priceless, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her master would never give her money, so this was the only thing she could do.

He took her in his arms and went out. She couldn't go out, so she could only sneak out. In fact, when she really came out, Su Nuo's palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Su Nuo let out a breath. Luckily, no one had noticed.

On the main street, there was a vast array of people looking at everything. Su Nuo was greedily looking at it. She had never had the chance to look at it before and would never be able to see anything from now on.

However, she would not regret it.

Su Nuo smiled at everything around her, then headed to a medicine store. There weren't many people in the medicine store, just three or four. Su Nuo was usually shy, so she stood in the corner and waited for everything to be bought before leaving.

The shop owner finally noticed the woman in the corner and asked, "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

Su Nuo gripped the thing in her hand tightly and walked forward resolutely. "I want the Night Grass but —" Su Nuo bit her lips. "I don't have any money. Can I use this instead?" As he spoke, he placed the chain in front of the boss.

The moment the shop owner saw the chain, his eyes lit up as if he was looking for something. He grabbed the chain, afraid that Su Nuo would regret his words, "Yes, yes, as many as you want."

Su Nuo hesitated. "The more the better."

"Yes, yes." The boss then went to get the Night Grass. Then, he placed a large bag of Night Grass in front of Su Nuo. "Are these enough? If not, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Su Nuo looked at the large bag. "Enough." Looking at the chain in the boss's hands, guilt was written all over his face. After a long while, he said, "Please don't throw it away."

The boss nodded his head repeatedly, thinking, "Only a fool would throw away something so valuable."

Su Nuo retracted her gaze, picked up her things and walked out with a lowered face.

"Hey —" The boss suddenly shouted, but Su Nuo was already gone. "Really, I forgot to tell her that if she eats too much, not only will she lose her sight, but she will also lose her life. "I really don't know what a woman like her would do with this." As he spoke, his attention returned to the chain on his hand.
