Chapter 300: Joke (1/2)
“What did you say? Not only have you not found anything for the past few days, but they have discovered everything about you?” Bai Luochu stood up and asked with a face of disbelief.
Ying Lan naturally knew the seriousness of this matter and knelt to the ground to beg for forgiveness, “I not only failed the task you have given me, but implicated you as well. I deserve to die.”
Bai Luochu calmed down after she saw Ying Lan beg for forgiveness and consoled him, “I can’t really put all the blame on you, it’s partly my fault for being too rash. I shouldn't have taken action when I have not ascertained their strength. At this point, we can only wait.”
“Wait? What do you mean?” Ying Lan evidently did not understand what Bai Luochu meant.
Bai Luochu thought about it for awhile and said, “If it was as you reported, this girl should not have any ill intentions against us, and she should just be curious about Pei Qingfeng's relationship with me. Especially when she only warned us not to go near the yard in the future, you don’t have to be so nervous.”
Initially Ying Lan was quite nervous, that’s why he had hurriedly came back and reported to Bai Luochu. But after his mistress analysed the matter, he agreed with Bai Luochu and felt that there wasn’t a need to panic. .
Meanwhile, Ling Xian'er was stopped by the guards outside when she tried to enter Pei Qingfeng study room.
The guard stopped Ling Xian'er and informed her, “Young Lady Xian'er, our master has told us he doesn’t wish to see anybody as he’s feeling down recently.”
Ling Xian'er was unconvinced, “He doesn’t wish to see anyone? Not even me?”
When he heard her, he almost accidentally spilled out the real reason why his master didn’t want to see anyone. Who else was it but her who stuck to him everyday, causing rumors to spread in the capital and making his master dispirited and worried all day? He was so afraid Bai Luochu would hear those rumors and develop a hatred of him.
Ling Xian'er was unresigned and shouted, “Big Brother Qingfeng, I just want to ask a simple question, are you planning to give the fox mask that you had bought to Luo Chu?”
The guard was stunned and was secretly surprised that Young Lady Xian'er had found out about this.
Just as the guards were about to chase her away, Pei Qinfeng opened the door and reprimanded Ling Xian'er. “If you have anything to say, come in and tell me, you don’t have to shout so loudly! What if you disturbed Honored Tian Yun?”
