Chapter 292: Two Different Appointments at the Same Time (1/2)

Zi Su didn’t pick up the hidden meaning behind Pei Rumo’s words. She replied respectfully, “Master doesn’t have to worry. I personally handed the card to Young Lady Luo Chu.”

“What about her? Did you see her too?”

Zi Su didn’t understand his question. Didn’t I say that I handed the card over in person? Why would he ask about her?

Zi Su was unable to think of the reason behind Pei Rumo’s repeated question and assumed that he hadn’t heard her the first time. “Master might not have heard me clearly. This servant was late as I had a short conversation with Young Lady Luo Chu.”

Pei Rumo raised his head and looked into Zi Su’s eyes. He cleared his throat before speaking, “I praised you the day before for being smart. Are you putting up an act right now? Do you think you’ll be able to hide the fact that you went over to look at the little servant girl I praised yesterday? Weren’t you delayed because you went to scout her out?”

Zi Su felt that her actions were exposed and she replied in embarrassment, “Master, I really can’t hide anything from you...” Zi Su paused for a moment and continued, “Initially, I thought that the servant girl was nothing much. She revealed her hostility the moment I started talking to Young Lady Luo Chu. However, it seemed as though she realized something and she quickly concealed her feelings. I wanted to probe her out but she managed to end the conversation with a single sentence. She is really direct… Even though she seems a little immature now, she is Young Lady Luo Chu’s follower. It is a matter of time before she spreads her wings.”

Pei Rumo listened to Zi Su’s analysis and nodded in agreement. He then said, “I never thought that you would change so much. You are no longer the hot-tempered and timid Zi Su of the past.”

“I don’t deserve Master’s praise.” Zi Su replied modestly.

Pei Rumo decided to change the topic as there was no reason to continue talking about Zi Su. “Did Luo Chu accept the invitation card?”

Zi Shu shook her head and replied, “She didn’t express her agreement when I was there. However, I reminded her to read the card carefully and she should be tempted when she sees the extra condition. Young Lady Luo Chu should also see through this servant’s tricks and might even be saying something about me right now.”

“Whatever. She won’t do anything to you.” Pei Rumo replied without a change of expression.

Zi Su’s lips twitched secretly as she thought to herself. Of course you wouldn’t mind! You’re not the one she is talking about...

Of course, Zi Su wouldn’t voice her thoughts. Pei Rumo might even lash out at her if she spoke her mind. She wasn’t Ming Lu and she couldn’t speak without a filter in front of her master.

Zi Su’s guesses were correct. In the general’s residence, Bai Luochu’s voice echoed through her room, “Zi Su is taking after that old fox…”
