Chapter 256: A Farce (2/2)

Bai Luochu could already feel a headache coming her way. Pei Qingfeng was actually so persistent that she was completely unable to ditch him. She originally planned to explain the incident to Pei Rumo as it was unpleasant to have someone watching her every move. With Pei Qingfeng’s appearance, she knew that he was also keeping tabs on her in the dark.

“First Brother, aren’t you feeling rather generous recently? You are hosting banquets every other day… As your younger brother, I am deeply disappointed in your preferential treatment of Divine Physician Bai over your brothers.” Pei Qingfeng smiled at Bai Luochu as he criticized Pei Rumo.

“Second Brother, why are you being so petty? All of us know of Divine Physician Bai’s poor living conditions. I am doing all I can to stop her uncle’s family from looking down on her. How can you say that I treat my younger brothers unfairly?” Even though Pei Rumo made it seem like an explanation, he was blaming Pei Qingfeng for being immature. After all, he was the Second Prince of the Cloud Water Nation and Bai Luochu was an orphan daughter of the general’s residence. How could he compare himself to her?

Bei Qingfeng’s smile froze. He realized that his First Brother was actually a sarcastic individual who portrays a cold appearance to the outside world.

Pei Qingfeng was not shamed by the ridicule. Instead he turned around and told Bai Luochu, “Luoluo, it has been a long time since I saw you, did you miss me?”

Bai Luochu felt that she should at least take advantage of a free meal even if she wasted a trip. Being unable to bear Pei Qingfeng’s intense gaze any longer, she tilted her head downwards and started enjoying the feast.

Pei Qingfeng became angrier and swore at her when he saw that she had ignored him.

Bai Luochu almost choked to death when she heard his complaints and she quickly covered her mouth as she coughed violently.

Looking at how the two of them were behaving, Pei Rumo felt that it was the perfect chance to counterattack. He passed a cup of tea to Bai Luochu, “Eat slowly. If there is not enough food, I can get them to prepare more.”

Bai Luochu was choking so badly she failed to notice the person who passed the cup to her. She gulped down the entire cup of tea in seconds.

Pei Rumo secretly observed Pei Qingfeng's expression and saw that his face was as black as charcoal. His eyes were almost popping out of their sockets and if looks could kill, Pei Rumo’s body would be riddled with holes.

Bai Luochu knew that she was stuck between the two princes and said to Pei Qingfeng “I hope Your Second Highness can restrain yourself. If anyone were to hear the curses, I am afraid you will have to write more reflections again. Even though the two of us are close, we are still of the opposite sex. Please maintain a sense of propriety.”
