Chapter 237: Reversal in a Game of Chess (1/2)

It was unknown when Cai Ling appeared behind the guard servants. Since they were familiar with Cai Ling’s voice, the two of them didn’t even dare to turn back. They stood at the entrance without uttering a sound.

When Cai Ling saw her mistress’ back, she felt rather heartbroken and let out a sigh.

How can there not be a murderous aura? After so many random invitations by someone she doesn’t want to be involved with… If it isn’t because Mistress is able to keep her calm, she will probably be charging out of the residence with a blade in her hand. How dare these people blame Mistress… Brainless idiots.

“Let’s go to the First Prince's residence. I would like to see what my First Brother is up to these days.” At this moment, Pei Qingfeng was done with his morning routine and he quickly passed an order down to his guard.

The personal guard acknowledged his orders and pushed Pei Qingfeng out of the room and towards the First Prince's residence.

“Eh? Luoluo, such a coincidence for me to encounter you on the way towards my First Brother’s place.” No one would have expected for Pei Qingfeng to actually meet with Bai Luochu at the entrance of the First Prince’s residence.

“What are you here for?” Bai Luochu was about to burst into fury. She was already having a headache thinking about how to entertain Pei Rumo who had been trying to rope her into his faction. Now there was another Pei Qingfeng who stuck to her like glue. It seemed as though he wouldn’t leave no matter how hard she flung him. She felt helpless in her heart and could only wonder who she had offended in order for her to suffer such a terrible fate.

Pei Qingfeng was currently acting out the entire show flawlessly. Since he had already made his plans, he couldn’t allow Bai Luochu to mess them up. “Sigh. It is nothing much. I was thinking about how I should visit my First Brother after not doing so for a long time. It is such a coincidence for us to meet at the entrance of his residence. I’m here to show my respects to him right now. Why are you here?”

“Nothing much. The First Prince invited me to play chess.” Bai Luochu wanted to return back to her residence but before she could make a move, Ming Lu walked out.

“Young Lady Luo Chu, Master is already waiting for you at the reception pavilion. Please follow me.” Ming Lu spoke to Bai Luochu and when he turned around, he saw Pei Qingfeng smiling at him. He immediately quivered as he stuttered, “Your... Your Second Highness, why are you here?”

“Can’t I come for a visit? I haven’t seen my First Brother for a long time and I miss him. I am here today to look for him.” Pei Qingfeng’s smile was so convincing that Bai Luochu nearly believed him.

Before Pei Rumo could finish his question, Ming Lu moved to the side and Pei Qingfeng’s figure appeared before him. In that instant, Pei Rumo’s smile froze.

Lu Wenshu’s objective for getting close to Pei Rumo might not be as obvious, but Pei Qingfeng’s visit was obviously related to Luo Chu. It was going to be a long day.
