Chapter 276: Returning the Invitation (2/2)
“That is correct. This subordinate thinks that the general's residence has a secret passage that leads outside.” The secret guard spoke of his conjecture.
“There might be a secret passage, but it isn’t important. Are you here just to report this?” Pei Rumo felt that it wasn’t surprising for Bai Luochu to construct an underground tunnel inside the general's residence. To be accurate, he wouldn’t feel surprised no matter what Bai Luochu did right now. After all, she was a capable and bold lass. In Pei Rumo’s opinion, there was nothing she didn’t dare to do.
The secret guard hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “Those people outside said that they saw Luo Chu in the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.”
The room fell into silence. Pei Rumo was able to guess the reason behind her appearance in the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. He was also able to guess what she was up to.
“You may be dismissed. I have my own way to deal with this matter.” Pei Rumo instructed.
After the secret guard left, Pei Rumo asked Ming Lu, “Do you think Luo Chu will send an invitation to me?”
Ming Lu felt that this question wasn’t easy to answer and if he answered poorly, he might get in trouble.
Ming Lu hesitated for a moment before speaking, “This servant cannot answer this question. However, Master mentioned that Young Lady Luo Chu is a person who keeps her word. She will probably send an invitation.” Ming Lu answered with uncertainty and when Pei Rumo heard it, he felt it was rather funny.
“What are you nervous for? It doesn’t matter if she visits or if she sends me an invitation. This is a matter between the two of us, why will I vent my anger on you?” After Pei Rumo’s explanation, Ming Lu felt a little better.
“Wait at the entrance tomorrow. She will definitely send someone.”
Ming Lu didn’t know why his master was so certain, but the First Prince had his way of doing things.
Cai Ling was currently grinding ink for Bai Luochu and before the brush landed on the paper, Bai Luochu asked, “What did the First Prince invite me to do?”
Cai Ling pondered for a moment and finally recalled the invitation. “Previously, His First Highness invited you with the context of strolling by the lake. Does Mistress not know what to do?”
Bai Luochu nodded and explained to Cai Ling, “That’s right. They are usually the ones who send the invitation. It is rare for me to be writing an invitation card. I have no idea how to write one as I don’t normally visit other people to apologize.”
Cai Ling giggled, “Why don’t Mistress just invite His First Highness for a meal? No matter what, having a meal is the best solution.”
