Chapter 240: Lu Wenshu’s Thoughts (1/2)

“What is Mistress going to do? You can’t just go hungry.” Cai Ling stopped after hearing Bai Luochu’s words. She blamed herself for allowing her mistress to go hungry.

Bai Luochu thought for a moment and said to Cai Ling, “It just so happens that I have to look for Ying Lan. I will head over to the Remote Paddy Inn and have a meal there. If anyone visits, let them know that I am not around. If something urgent comes up, send them to the Remote Paddy Inn to look for me.”

Perhaps it was because Bai Luochu was really hungry, she turned around and left immediately after speaking.

When Bai Luochu arrived at Ying Lan’s study room, he was currently settling the accounts for the Remote Paddy Inn. When he saw Bai Luochu entering, he immediately thought that there was something important and asked Bai Luochu with concern, “Mistress, did anything happen? Did the First Prince give you any trouble?”

Ying Lan went through multiple scenarios in his mind. When he saw that Bai Luochu was in a rush, he assumed that something major had happened.

He was stunned by what Bai Luochu said next.

“Hurry up and get the Remote Paddy Inn’s chef to cook two dishes for me! I am famished!” Bai Luochu yelled and collapsed into a chair. It seemed as though her legs became weak due to her hunger.

Ying Lan could see that Bai Luochu was truly famished and immediately instructed the innkeeper to serve some food. “Bring two dishes up here. Get a plate of meat and a plate of vegetables. Serve something palatable...”

“Mistress, why are you so hungry? Did Pei Rumo lock you up without giving you food?” Ying Lan looked at Bai Luochu and thought about his meeting with the First Prince. An unlikely scenario popped into his head.

Bai Luochu rolled her eyes at Ying Lan in response, “What are you thinking about? You were never this weird before! I’ll tell you everything after eating my fill.”

Before long, the two dishes appeared in front of Bai Luochu and she shoved everything into her mouth. Those who didn’t know might even think that she had been starving for a month or two. After swallowing the last of her rice, she downed a huge cup of water before narrating the event in the First Prince’s residence.

After listening to Bai Luochu’s story, Ying Lan immediately asked, “From what I can tell, the First Prince shouldn’t be bothering you for quite some time, right? This can’t be the reason for your appearance in the Remote Paddy Inn.”
