Chapter 174: Seeking Forgiveness (1/2)
Lu Wenshu knew that Bai Luochu hated him to the bone. There was no way he would use his previous relationship with her to approach her. If he were to do so, he might not even be able to catch the edge of her shadow before frightening her off.
He thought of using a completely new reason to look for her. Perhaps the best method was to start from scratch. From the time when they first got to know each other.
“That’s right, forget about the past. That is the best way...” Lu Wenshu muttered to himself as though he was possessed.
It didn’t cross Lu Wenshu’s mind that everything he had done to Bai Luochu was enough for her to hate him many lifetimes over. It was going to be impossible for her to forget the past regardless of how he tried. Before his betrayal, he had already pushed her away from him, to the opposing side. Even though they had been together for many years, as long as Bai Luochu still had the memories of her previous life, it was impossible for them to ever get back together.
Lu Wenshu returned to his courtyard and repeatedly rehearsed his visit to the general’s residence. He really wanted to see Bai Luochu again. After three years of dreaming of her, he was finally able to see her again. No one would be able to remain composed if they were in Lu Wenshu’s shoes.
Lu Wenshu finally thought of an appropriate reason to visit the general’s residence by the next afternoon.
“Mistress, there is a Young Master Lu at the entrance. He is here to ask for forgiveness.” Cai Ling ran to the secluded courtyard and reported to Bai Luochu.
Bai Luochu was currently prescribing some medicine meant for nursing Pei Qingfeng’s body. When she heard Cai Ling’s words, she asked with an expression of extreme shock “What did you say? Which Young Master?”
Cai Ling was frightened by Bai Luochu’s abnormal reaction and she stammered, “He said, his family name is... Lu.”
Bai Luochu closed her eyes and knew that this was inevitable. Since she wasn’t able to avoid it, why not face it?
“I will meet him. You will guard His Second Highness since his injury is acting up again. If anything happens to him, report to me at the reception pavilion.”
“What are you going?” Pei Qingfeng who was initially resting on the bed couldn’t lay down anymore. He immediately sat up and asked.
Bai Luochu was already rather flustered due to Lu Wenshu’s sudden visit. Now that Pei Qingfeng suddenly became curious, she somewhat ignored him and replied half-heartedly, “Nothing much. It is just a visit from a guest, I will attend to it.” She left in a rush immediately.
In Pei Qingfeng’s eyes, Bai Luochu looked like she was about to look for a man she admired. Had he not been feigning his illness to stay for a few more days, it was impossible for him to allow that lass to go by herself.
After everything that happened, Bai Luochu was no longer a nobody in the general’s residence. Her words held weight and people would actually follow her orders.
After Bai Luochu barked out her orders, she walked quickly to the reception pavilion. She tried to calm herself down as much as she could.
