The assassination attempt in the Governor’s Mansion practically did not set off any alarht between Gu Shenwei and the two assailants lasted for a very short ti soldiers
But at the first glimmer of dawn, five assassins in black turned up at Kun Society
With Maid Lotus and Slave Huan standing behind her, a pale-faced and tired-looking Shangguan Ru was leaning by her bedroom door “What’s the matter?”
“There’s a small matter we’ll like to verify with Liuhua and Slave Huan”
“Since it’s a smallkiller appeared a little aard “It’s not that small a matter Someone tried to assassinate an iht We want to…”
“Now it sounds serious I’ to do withunder orders”
“It was certainly not ordered by me”
“Uh, did Liuhua and Slave Huan not leave Kun Society last night?”
“Nope”
With an extreuan Ru dismissed the Golden Roc Fort killers, but immediately after, her body turned soft and collapsed into Maid Lotus’ aruan Ru and Liuhua were “possessed”, which few people understood Furthermore, the symptoms this time were different from that of the previous tier duration For three consecutive days, both of them could only lay in their beds weak all over, and could not stand up without assistance
Neither Gu Shenwei nor Maid Lotus could do anything to help regarding thisin a physician who probably knew as much about the condition as them, they could only wait it out On the other hand, an opportunity, perhaps the only opportunity there was ever going to be, to return to the Stone Castle and steal the Wayless Book arose After the end of winter, their three-year deadline would not be far away
Gu Shenwei still wanted to assassinate Wei Song, but not before questioning him why he assisted in the massacre of the entire Gu family The killer also wanted to find out whether the person who saved hi, these objectives had to be put on hold The Governor’s Mansion was being heavily guarded, and crashi+ng his way in would not do any good
Shangguan Ru was sent back secretly to Stone Castle, such that even her elder brother Shangguan Fei was unaware
Gu Shenwei falsely clai a chariot together with Maid Lotus, he fetched the Tenth Young Master to the court of the Eighth Young Master For a subsequent period of ticha
This was a difficult coreat deal of effort in order to achieve
The first sticking point was Shangguan Ru herself, ould rather have died than agree to return in advance to Stone Castle and becostock However, Gu Shenwei had already passed infor dispatched her hter to return to the castle or else the lady herself would personally descend the uan Ru had to relent
Lady Meng subsequently approved Gu Shenwei’s plan for the secret return when he followed the maid up the mountain and met her
The cha She did not have a good opinion of either Lady Meng or the twins, and naturally refused to help Gu Shenwei spent an entire afternoon explaining to her the principle of being adaptable to circuain frouarded against you The best tiuard down”
“Why do I feel that the things you ask cha was a little irresolute, but she was considerably smarter than before and could see that there were a few hidden things involved
“Miss Luo, please think If I openly stand on your side, I will, in fact, become useless to you I have to protect myself first before I can serve you”
“Huht You’re a sinister and cunning fella Alright, I shall agree, but you’ll have to give me a chance to make use of you”
“I’m ready to carry out your orders at any time I’uessed that Shangguan Ru was hiding by the Eighth Young Mistress’ side In fact, not ’s personal ifts for her father and husband, Luo Ningcha recalled Maid Lotus and Slave Huan The foruan Ru while the latter served as the killer protecting the court
Although Liuhua had been similarly “possessed”, his importance was much less He was the only one of the three killers to remain in Kun Society of South City, where he continued to “protect” the absent Tenth Young Master and handled daily affairs on her behalf
On the first night after returning to the castle, Maid Lotus accouan Ru secretly into the Inner Residence to cha su Master, and upon seeing him, ordered her maids to torture him “Pull his ears, and don’t you dare be soft”
Xu Yanas one of the maids, seemed to have becoed the Gu Shenwei’s ears a few ti to be pardoned “Miss Luo, Slave Huan is a killer I’m a bit scared”
After the uninvolved people left the roocha habitually threw a few teacups and appeared to be in a foul mood “Audacious slave, what do you take me for to order me like that?”
Gu Shenwei could not tell where the uan Ru was so back on her word already? “Miss Luo, nobody on Earth dares to order you”
“It’s you who keeps asking me to do this and that, and after I’ve done what you said, you don’t even listen to me and I have to wait for your next idea”
Gu Shenwei finally realized that the uan Ru “Miss Luo, you’ve got soress thinks I’cha onceGu Shenwei listened quietly and did not interrupt her, but she becaain “You have to ask me questions, otherwise hoould I have the interest to speak on?”
“Yes, Miss Luo, what have you discovered that can cause Lady Meng a shock?”
