VOLUME 8 CHAPTER 63: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A SECRET LATE NIGHT RENDEZVOUS (11)

Liu Bei POV

“My lord, Lord Guan Ping has been busy with work the whole day and is exhausted so I let her sleep first.”

I can’t believe she managed to say ‘busy with work’ with a straight face. I don’t really interact much with Guan Ping but I know that she’s usually either practicing her martial arts or playing. There’s no way she’s exhausted with work.

“No problem, it’s been hard on Guan Ping.” I said and looked about before pointing one way, “Let her rest on the cus.h.i.+ons there.”

“Blood brother, I have some blankets here.”

“Ah, thank you elder brother.”

Liu Biao went into the annex when he finished.

When he pa.s.sed by Lady Cai, she tried to stop him. Liu Biao stopped for a moment, but he pulled Lady Cai’s arm from grasping him and continued walking towards the annex. Naturally Lady Cai was mad and her expression when she looked at Liao Hua and I after Liu Biao was in the annex grew more hideous by the second.

No matter what Liao Hua does, it’s enough so long as Liu Biao believes that I have no intentions of taking Jing state. Not only can I gain a place to stay and recuperate, I can continue to a.s.sist Liu Qi.

“Here, blood brother, a blanket.” While I was still in my thoughts, Liu Biao had returned with a blanket.

“Thank you, elder brother.” I said as I received the blanket with both hands and walked over to Guan Ping. Liao Hua initially wanted to do it, but I shook my head lightly and walked over to Guan Ping and lay down the blanket on her myself. After that, I layered the cus.h.i.+ons so that they could form a respectable makes.h.i.+ft pillow.

“Alright, let us continue then,” Liu Biao said with his palm out towards Liao Hua. His expression was a little more at ease but he was clearly still troubled. Lady Cai had a face that was saying ‘let’s see what you can say’ as she waited for what Liao Hua was about to say.

As for me, I didn’t dare to say too much, and just stared at Liao Hua silently.

Liao Hua lowered her head and bowed and tidied her clothing before she spoke up slowly, “The commotion I heard from before, the reason for it was basically the Lord Governor and your Lady suspecting my lord of having designs on Jing state, am I right?”

“Ah, I don’t suspect him of that. I trust my blood brother.”

“I don’t!”

“My lady…”

“Hmph!”

Lady Cai turned her face away from Liu Biao, whose face contorted once more as he looked at Liao Hua and bade her with his eyes to continue.

“What the Lord Governor said is logical, as is your suspicions. Leaving aside my lord’s intentions, how your suspicions arose, and what he said, your suspicions are logical.” Liao Hua said, and turned it around, “But at the same time, they do not make sense.”
