Chapter 257: An Unexpected Invitation (2/2)

Even though he scolded Pei Qingfeng, Pei Rumo didn’t wish to pit himself against his Second Brother. Pei Qingfeng was direct and he wore his emotions on his sleeves. He was unlike Pei Wuchen who was a hypocrite.

When Bai Luochu reached the general’s residence, she was worried and felt that there was still a need for her to clarify things with Pei Rumo so she instructed Cai Ling, “Take the tunnel to the Remote Paddy Inn and ask them to relay a message to the First Prince's residence. Do you know what to say?”

After Bai Luochu wrote her note, she passed it to Cai Ling who left through the secret tunnel. Even the guards were unaware of her disappearance.

”Little brother, sorry for the trouble. Can I trouble you to notify your master that I am here with a message from the general’s residence” Cai Ling asked the guard as she stood outside the First Prince's residence

The guard felt that it was weird that Luo Chu who had left earlier was sending a message. However, he chose to notify his master as he had no reason to refuse her. Just as he was about to do so, Ming Lu appeared at the door. “ Hey, where are you planning to go? Master is currently busy dealing with important business. You can relay the message to me instead.”

After the guard recounted everything to Ming Lu, he immediately walked over to where Cai Ling was waiting.

Cai Ling knew that her task was complete when she saw Ming Lu. She quickly spoke up, “Ming Lu hurry up, I am here to deliver a message.”

“I heard from the guard that you are here to deliver an invitation card?”

“Yes, take a look.” Cai Ling took out the invitation and showed it to him.

When Ming Lu saw the invitation, he kept it and reassured Cai Ling, “Big sister, you don’t have to worry, I will personally hand this over to my master. Knowing him, he will definitely show up.”

“My Mistress will be expecting him then. If there is nothing else, I’ll be heading back to the general’s residence. You should also return to notify your master.”” Cai Ling turned around and walked towards the Remote Paddy Inn.

Cai Ling returned to the general’s residence and reported the whole thing to Bai Luochu. “Mistress, I have completed your task… However, I don’t understand. You were never happy to accept His First Highness’ invitation. Why would you take the initiative to invite him for dinner?”
