Chapter 25: Acting blind to avoid getting dragged in (1/2)

Su Liya walked briskly, her heart beating rapidly. She just wanted to run into her room and hide, she did not know where all those words that she said or even the courage she had came from.

While she was pissed off by Zhu Fenfang, she still wanted to trend gently and not annoy the female lead of the book she was stuck in. Even if Zhu Fenfang wasn't so powerful in the Zhu family's dynamic, she was still the minister's daughter.

She was classes above her and could find a way to punish her for her unruly behaviour and even Zhu Fengyin may not be able to save her. Su Liya ran to her room behind the house as soon as she got to Zhu Fengyin's courtyard. A maid she was close to Tian Tian tried to truck up a conversation with her but she waved her off and rushed to her room.

Su Liya leaned on the door, breathing heavily until she felt calmer. She Laid down on the bed, her hands resting on her forehead. Su Liya slept off in that position until later in the evening. She got, washed her face and left for Zhu Fengyin's room.

Zhu Fengyin looked up from her book as she came in. ”Glad to see that you have decided to join the land of the living. why did you lock yourself up in your room?”, she Shut the book and leaned back on the chaise.

Su Liya recalled her previous run-in with Zhu Fenfang and once again she felt uncertain. While she and Zhu Fengyin had gotten along so far, she still wasn't sure if it was a good idea for her to let Zhu Fengyin in on this. She couldn't tell how Zhu Fengyin would handle this information.

Since she was the one that was approached, Su Liya decided to keep it to herself. it hasn't constituted any problems yet so there was no need to make Zhu Fengyin worry. She cleared her throat and replied, ”it has been stressful with the wedding and everything else. I wanted to get some sleep in without getting disturbed”.

”it has been a hectic l, hasn't it? Luckily the wedding is in a few days, we can finally get some rest”, Zhu Fengyin yawned and dropped the book aside.

”I am looking forward to Leaving here, I would like to put some distance between I and Zhu Faye”, Su Liya muttered picking up the book and returning it to the bookshelves opposite the chaise.

Zhu Fengyin's lips twitched, ”You ran into him didn't you, that explains your sudden need to shut yourself in. You must be feeling a little uncomfortable dealing with the third brother but you can't let him know that you aren't the real Su Liya. For our plan to work, he has to keep thinking that he has us fooled.”

”He might not be the only one we have to worry about Fengyin”, Su Liya said squatting by Zhu Fengyin. ”Zhu Fenfang is acting strange”.

Zhu Fengyin laughed softly, ”is she? I think she is acting normal Liya. Zhu Fenfang is very two-faced, like her mother. She put on a kind naive front when she is very rotten inside. She didn't come after me directly so I never paid her any mind but I am well aware of her capabilities”.

Su Liya looked back at her shocked, ”You know about that, I didn't know that you did?”

”well, I do so don't worry about her. People like her don't deserve your attention. We should be thinking of how to get a foothold in the Lu family. Duke Wu's mother Madam Lu wouldn't make things easy for us”

Su Liya sighed ”I heard that Madam Lu was fierce, she is not an easy opponent”.

”Which is why we have to be careful there. Liya you have to behave properly, don't give her any reason to hurt us”
