Chapter 96: Getting Someone Else to do the Dirty Work (1/2)
After Bai Luochu appeared with the identity as Luo Chu, Pei Wuchen sent his secret guard to keep watch in the dark.
“If Luo Chu makes any huge waves, remember to report back to me immediately.” Pei Wuchen had always been a distinguished and refined person. When he spoke about Bai Luochu, he was still paying attention to his image. He was currently writing a poem onto a folding fan.
“Yes, my lord. This subordinate understands.” That secret guard responded and was about to head out in a flash.
“Hey, wait up.” Pei Wuchen suddenly recalled something and called out to the secret guard.
“My lord, please give your orders.” The secret guard lowered his head with a very respectful expression.
Pei Wuchen stayed silent for a moment and seemed to have made a decision. “If she is out alone and runs into some trouble, remember to offer assistance at the crucial moment. But beware not to expose your identity and cause trouble for me.”
“This subordinate understands. However… If Young Lady Feng finds out... I am afraid there will be trouble.”
When Pei Wuchen heard this, his hand moved abruptly, causing the ink to smudge on the surface of the fan. Just like this, a high quality folding fan was wasted. He then placed down the fan and explained, “Previously when I didn’t know about it, it was natural for me to ignore her well-being. Now that I know of it, I cannot simply neglect her. After all, she is still my fiancée and it is normal for me to offer some protection.”
Pei Wuchen’s explanation was naturally flawless in the eyes of the secret guard. He was the only one who knew of the truth behind his words.These were just words to beat about the bush, if he was truly thinking along this line, he wouldn’t ruin his folding fan.
Pei Wuchen was silently lamenting. He had yet to see her in person and he didn’t know why he was so considerate towards her. He even seemed somewhat obsessed. If he had seen her in person, he would suspect that she had cast a curse on him.
Just as Pei Wuchen gave his orders, Feng Wan’er and her senior brother were discussing how to make Luo Chu vanish without a trace. They were going to make her disappear in order to remove all the threats in Feng Wan’er path.
“According to junior sister’s intention, how do you wish to deal with Wuchen’s so-called ‘fiancée’?” That feminine man had a calm expression that didn’t allow anyone to see through the thoughts in his mind.
“How do I wish to deal with her?” Feng Wan’er’s brows bunched up and she made an awful expression. Her words were so vicious that no one would believe that it came from the mouth of an innocent looking young lady.
At the final part of her statement, Feng Wan’er’s jaws were clenched together tightly and she sounded very vicious. It was as though Luo Chu was her lifelong enemy. But when all was said and done, Luo Chu was just an infant who didn’t know what was happening when the late emperor engaged her to the Third Prince. How could she go against the late emperor’s orders? Feng Wan’er hatred towards Luo Chu was completely unjustified.
