Chapter 258: Laying the Cards on the Table (2/2)

After Bai Luochu gave her instructions, she headed up and straight for the teahouse’s Heaven’s Sign room number 1.

Pei Rumo arrived on time.

“I wonder what special location Divine Physician Bai would pick for our meeting. Even the name of the private room is ordinary. Why would Divine Physician Bai pick such a place?” Pei Rumo sighed at the inelegant name of the teahouse’s private room.

Meng Luoping stood at the side while cold sweat dripped down his face. He was thinking, The name of this private room is named by this ancestor standing in front of you. It might sound crude, but it is easy to note down the different fees for the rooms.

Bai Luochu wasn’t angry after hearing Pei Rumo’s criticism. She offered him a seat politely, “Your First Highness, please take a seat. Why bother about the name? The tea and refreshments here aren’t bad. Once Your First Highness tastes the food, you will understand the reason behind my invitation.”

Pei Rumo sat down quietly. As soon as he sat down, the waiter in the High Leisure Pavilion served tea and refreshments. “Will our guests please enjoy...”

Pei Rumo picked up a piece of cake and put it inside his mouth. Bai Luochu took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Pei Rumo and pushed it in front of him. She then raised her hand slightly as an indication for Pei Rumo to have a taste.

Pei Rumo swallowed the cake and drank a mouthful of tea. He immediately understood the wonder of this place. The cakes might look mediocre but it was superior when it came to enhancing the flavor of the tea. There was really nothing for him to pick on.

Pei Rumo sighed and spoke to Bai Luochu, “Speak. I’m sure you didn’t invite me here to taste tea and cakes.”

Hearing Pei Rumo’s question, Bai Luochu went straight into the topic, “Shouldn’t you withdraw your men from the walls of the general’s residence?”

Pei Rumo’s brows raised in response. He didn’t think that this lass would be so direct.

Pei Rumo pondered for a moment and asked, “When did you find out?”

“I guessed it a long time ago. It might be a guess, but I’m sure of it now.” Bai Luochu spoke bluntly.

Pei Rumo understood that he was too impatient and his actions leaked the news. Since he had already sent his men out, there was no reason to call them back. He had also replied bluntly, “What will you do if I refuse?”
