Chapter 220: The Hard to Fathom Pei Rumo (1/2)

“There is no need to say anything else. Just prepare the things. It is unnecessary for you to be concerned about anything else. After all, this is the First Prince’s residence. I know he seems rather shrewd and he should know that it is in his best interest not to create trouble here. You may be dismissed.” Pei Rumo spoke and interrupted his attendant.

When the attendant saw that his master already had a plan in his heart, he quickly withdrew.

Early the next day, Ying Lan picked a time when Bai Luochu had ended her morning cultivation session to visit. He brought the invitation card with him.

“Mistress, Commander Ying is here. He says that he has something urgent to discuss with you.” Cai Ling saw that Bai Luochu was still eating her breakfast and she didn’t dare to disturb her.

Bai Luochu who was busy shoving food into her mouth paused and muttered softly, “He is here very early today. It seems like there is truly something urgent.” She raised her head and said to Cai Ling, “Ask him to head to the secluded courtyard. I will make my way there after breakfast.”

“Yes, this servant understands.” Cai Ling responded respectfully and she went to the entrance to bring Ying Lan into the residence.

Bai Luochu watched as Cai Ling walked towards the entrance and the speed at which she stuffed the food in her mouth increased. If Ying Lan came in such a hurry, there had to be something serious he needed to report. The faster she obtained the information the better.

Ying Lan arrived at the secluded courtyard and placed the invitation card on the table and he paced around the room. He was extremely nervous as he awaited Bai Luochu’s arrival.

“What’s going on? What is so urgent that you have to rush over early in the morning? This isn’t like you.” This was the main reason Bai Luochu hurried over. Ying Lan had always done things in a calm and concise manner. If something caused him to panic, it would undoubtedly be a huge matter.

“Mistress, why don’t you look at the invitation card on the table before making a decision?” Ying Lan pointed at the card on the table and Bai Luochu picked it up carefully before reading it.

As she read through the card, her brows knitted together tightly. Her expression became increasingly awful.

“This invitation card is given to you by Pei Rumo?” Bai Luochu looked at Ying Lan and asked.
