Chapter 329: Lu Wenshu’s Participation (2/2)
Lu Wenshu mocked himself with a depreciating smile and it seemed as though the sour relationship between them wasn’t going to fix itself anytime soon. Whatever the case, he felt that there was a long road ahead of him and if he was able to obtain her heart in the past, he would be able to do it again.
Pei Rumo’s brows jolted. Originally, he wanted to wait for Bai Luochu to agree before immediately departing for the Desolate Region. He didn’t want Lu Wenshu to find a chance to tag along. However, he never expected Lu Wenshu to react so quickly. He even followed Bai Luochu to the First Prince’s residence! He knew that it wouldn’t be easy to get rid of this old fox now that he was here.
Lu Wenshu looked at Pei Rumo with a profound look in his eyes. Your intention is so obvious. You made use of the information I gave you and thought of a plan to leave me behind?! Nonsense! As if I will fall for your tricks.
Pei Rumo understood if he didn’t bring Lu Wenshu along, Lu Wenshu might just expose the fact that he was the person who provided the information about the Field Pearl Flower. Right now, they were locusts tied to the same boat. If Lu Wenshu decided to expose everything, Pei Rumo wouldn’t be able to escape from Bai Luochu’s wrath. He had no choice but to accept Lu Wenshu’s proposal.
“With Young Master Lu’s strength, nothing will go wrong. Since that is the case, this prince shall accept your proposal.”
Lu Wenshu had already expected Pei Rumo to agree. However, he wasn’t sure what Bai Luochu would think.
Bai Luochu was clear about Pei Rumo’s intention. She knew that Pei Rumo merely wanted to get a chance to spend some alone time with her. There was no way he would allow Lu Wenshu to participate… Now that he agreed to bring Lu Wenshu along, Bai Luochu felt that the two of them had reached a deal and were merely acting out a show in front of her.
But what is it? The two of them are old foxes and will never allow themselves to be at a disadvantage. What deal did they make?!
A lightbulb flashed in her mind as she felt enlightened. Field Pearl Flower! No wonder I felt that something was off when Pei Rumo spoke to me about it. How can an imperial prince obtain access to so much information about a rare herb like the Field Pearl Flower? It seems like Lu Wenshu was the person who provided the information. He probably used that as a chip in order to bargain with Pei Rumo to bring him along for the campaign...
Too bad Lu Wenshu moved fast. With Pei Rumo’s personality, he was probably trying to leave for the Desolate Region before Lu Wenshu found out.
Even though Bai Luochu figured out the deal between the two of them, she wasn’t happy about it. After all, it wasn’t a great feeling to be plotted against by others.
“Heh, what a great plan. Are you two done acting?” Bai Luochu looked at them with disdain and snorted.
When Pei Rumo and Lu Wenshu saw her expression, they felt embarrassed. They stood there like children who were caught cheating in a test as they knew that they were at fault for plotting against her.
