Chapter 470: Sending the Betrothal Gifts (1/2)

Pei Rumo glanced up at Ming Lu and immediately returned to checking the dowry list.

Zi Su tugged at Ming Lu’s sleeve, as if asking him not to run his mouth.

Zi Su shook her head in disappointment as she looked at the state Pei Rumo was in. She blamed herself as she felt that everything could have been avoided had she warned him about Bai Luochu earlier.

Sadly, what has been done, cannot be undone. Nothing could change the fact that Pei Rumo would sink deep into the quicksand of his obsession with Bai Luochu.

“Remember to bring the dowry gifts tomorrow.” Pei Rumo ordered Zi Su as soon as he ensured that everything on the list was correct.

Pei Rumo understood that Ming Lu was still young and inexperienced and he would not be able to understand the feeling in his heart. As such, he ordered Zi Su to carry out his orders instead. He knew that Ming Lu might just disobey him considering the fact that he was acting unlike his usual self.

When he gave his orders, Zi Su gave her acknowledgement while Ming Lu widened his eyes in disbelief. In that instant, he knew that he had made the correct decision by entrusting the task to Zi Su.

Pei Rumo closed his eyes and Zi Su took the chance to pull Ming Lu out of the room.

“If I hadn’t pulled you away, who knows what other nonsense you would have said!” Zi Su chided Ming Lu who had a confused and dazed look on his face.

Ming Lu felt wrongly accused and he bit back. “I just feel worried for His First Highness! Bai Luochu is already dead! Is it worth it to put in so much effort for a dead woman!?”

“Shhhh!” Zi Su put her finger to her lips and asked him to speak softly. She really felt like sewing his mouth shut! It was lucky that Ming Lu was favoured by Pei Rumo. If he wasn’t the grass on his grave would already be several meters tall… As servants, they should respect the fact that Pei Rumo had already made his decision!

“You better not poke your nose into Young Masters affairs, it is just an act of friendship on his part! It’s not like it would cause any harm to him, so you better shut up!” Zi Su snapped. She realized that Ming Lu wasn’t going to listen to reason anyway.

Ming Lu unhappily shut his mouth and it was clear that he was hurt by her words.

Initially, Zi Su wanted to offer some words of comfort to Ming Lu as she realised that she had hurt his feelings. However, she stopped herself from doing so when she realised that it was best for him to learn to not run his mouth off.

She was about to drift off into sleep when a loud sound outside her door jolted her awake.
