Chapter 295: Sudden Realization (1/2)
Pei Rumo had no choice but to reply Bai Luochu’s question. He quickly spoke of the conjecture in his heart, “I have never seen this young lady in the capital city. With the recent rumors going around, this young lady should be the person pestering Pei Qingfeng.”
Bai Luochu’s gaze didn’t leave Pei Qingfeng and Ling Xian’er’s body as they strolled down the street. All their actions were caught in her eyes. Young lady?! With her physique, she looks about my age. She looks like a lively bunny compared to an old and decrepit hag like me.
Bai Luochu felt a strange feeling welling up in her heart. It was as though there were ten thousand ants crawling around her body and she quickly attributed it to her recent lack of rest.
“Your First Highness, I am not feeling very well and shall take my leave.” Bai Luochu kept the medicinal herb and ran out of the restaurant.
Pei Rumo remained in the private room and an indifferent expression hung on his face. After some time, the corners of his mouth curled upwards and he muttered to himself, “Hmm, interesting. Things are getting really interesting.”
Not too long ago, there was a scene playing out in the Second Prince’s residence. Pei Qingfeng’s personal guard and the secret guard commander were squatting in the back garden of the residence as they started fighting over something.
“You… Why didn’t you make a report about it? We’re both going to die!” The first one to speak was Pei Qingfeng’s personal guard.
The secret guard wasn’t convinced he was in trouble as he tried to argue his way out of it, “How dare you criticize me! You’re the one hanging around Master everyday! I have been crouching in front of the general’s residence the entire time and came back as soon as I heard the information! Who knew that Young Lady Xian’er would invite Young Master when His First Highness invited Young Lady Luo Chu for lunch?!”
“Shut up! You better start praying!” The personal guard interrupted.
“What? Why do I need to pray?”
The personal guard raised his hand to smack the secret guard on the top of his head. “What else?! We better pray that they never meet! If they see each other… we are both dead men.”
“Then what if they really meet?” The secret guard commander asked fearlessly.
“If that were to happen… I hope Master isn’t the one who sees them. That way, we will be able to live for a few more days.”
“If Young Lady Luo Chu erupts in anger, won’t our deaths be accelerated? Master will definitely blame the two of us!”
The personal guard stood up and left. When the secret guard commander saw that he was being left alone, he yelled, “Hey, why are you walking away?!”
The personal guard closed his eyes first before yelling his reply, “Where else can I go?! I’m going to sharpen all the blades in the residence. I don’t wish to suffer under a blunt blade.”
