Chapter 129 I'm Not That Boring

Pingqiao Town, Pengcheng, his hometown, where his parents, brother, sister-in-law, nephew and their family lived...

Lu Sui seemed not to notice his abnormality.

Continue to speak.

"The people of Pingqiao Town have made a living by catching snakes for generations. Many restaurants in the capital source their snake soup from there."

"How old are you?"

Lu Sui suddenly changed the subject and looked at Wang Liu.

Wang Liu was sweating profusely: "Slave...slave is twenty-two years old this year."

"Are your parents still alive?"

"...What...what do you want to do?"

Sui suddenly stood up, took a step towards him, and spoke in a slow and steady voice.

"Since I was able to trace it back to you, even if you are innocent, you can't escape this crime."

"This crime can be serious or minor, Wang Liu. Think it over carefully. I'll give you one last chance."

Wang Liu’s face turned pale.

How dare I hide anything anymore?

"The snake belonged to me, but I had no idea what Yuping had done with it... until... until nightfall, when I suddenly heard that a noble had been bitten by a snake. That's when I... I knew something was going to happen."

"Lord Lu, please be clear-headed. This was all done by Yuping. This servant has nothing to do with it."

"Yuping?" Lu Sui glanced at him.

"She is the personal maid of the second young lady of the Pei family. We are from the same hometown. Her family also makes a living by selling snakes. Naturally, she is not afraid of snakes..."

------

When the news came that Jiang Yueyao was bitten by a snake, the Pei sisters were having dinner.

Pei Yunzhu was about to say something excitedly, but was stopped by a look from Pei Yunjin.

After dinner, the two sisters returned to the house. Everyone around them left, and when only the two of them were left, Pei Yunzhu could no longer control herself and held her sister's hand.

"Great, that bitch was really bitten by a snake. I wonder how arrogant she will be this time."

Pei Yunjin curled his lips slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

She pulled her hand out, sat aside, picked up the book, and flipped through it while writing lightly.

"Other people being bitten has nothing to do with us. Don't be too obvious. Although she is of low status, she has Shen Baoqing by her side..."

Having said this, she paused and frowned her delicate brows.

"If she gets bitten, will the Master..."

Shen Baoqing is nothing to be afraid of.

With her ability, it is impossible to find out about Wang Liu.

But if Lu Sui intervenes... Thinking of this, Pei Yunjin's face changed.

"Oh, sister, don't worry," Pei Yunzhu knew what she was worried about. "She's just a small shopkeeper in Wanhe Tower. Even if Lord Lu has some good feelings for her, that bitch's identity is there. As long as Lord Lu is not a bad person, even if he finds out, what can he do? Can he really offend our father for Jiang Yueyao?"

"My father is Prime Minister Pei. Except for the one in the palace, everyone who sees him outside must be respectful."

After hearing her advice, Pei Yunjin felt relieved.

only……

"I'm just worried that if something really happens..." She looked at Pei Yunzhu with a worried look on her face.

Pei Yunzhu patted his chest.

"This matter was my own idea. It has nothing to do with you, sister. Anyway, it won't implicate you. What are you afraid of?"

"But you are my sister," Pei Yunjin held her hand, a look of concern on his face, "If anything happens to you, how will I be able to live well?"

She said, sighing softly.

"Zhuzhu, I'm your sister, and I don't want anyone to hurt you."

Pei Yunzhu felt warm in her heart.

She leaned over and hugged Pei Yunjin.

I am deeply moved.

"But I don't want anyone to hurt you. Seeing you so sad for Lord Lu, I want to skin that bitch Jiang Yueyao alive!"

Then he added, "Don't worry. If we do find out anything, I will take the responsibility alone and will never burden my sister."

…

The next few days were calm.

The Pei sisters finally put their worries back into their stomachs.

Pei Yunzhu was even more proud.

"See? People of low status, even if they get bitten, what's the big deal? If you're unlucky, you'll die, and that's it. It's just a worthless life."

"However, she was lucky this time and was rescued. If there is a next time, I'm afraid she won't be so lucky."

Pei Yunjin sat in the pavilion, holding a small fan in his hand, fanning himself slowly while listening without saying a word.

Pei Yunzhu sat opposite her and took a sip of water.

Seeing that she was not interested.

Then he picked up the words that interested her.

"Sister, were you worried that Lord Lu would stand up for her? Now it seems like you were just worrying for nothing."

"Who is Lord Lu? How could he be interested in a commoner girl?"

"I see, it's just for the sake of novelty, to keep it around for a bit of amusement."

"If a man like Lord Lu wants to marry, he will naturally marry a lady from a well-off family."

"Just like my sister, hehe..."

Sure enough, Pei Yunjin, who was originally uninterested, immediately became lively when he heard her say this.

But she still pretended to be embarrassed and pinched Pei Yunzhu.

"I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll let you talk nonsense..."

"Oh dear sister, what did I say wrong? It's just like that."

The two were arguing when Yuping came over with a smile on her face.

"Young lady, I just received a letter saying that the Emperor will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. He has just issued an imperial decree, asking all the young men and women to prepare and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning. I heard that if you catch a lot of prey, there will be a reward."

Pei Yunzhu became excited immediately when she heard this.

"It seems the Emperor's hand has healed."

"Sister, haven't you been waiting for this moment for a long time?"

"Looking across the entire capital, is there anyone who can compare to my sister in horseback archery? Three years ago, my sister won first place in the girls' group."

Pei Yunjin was also very happy.

But soon, she frowned again.

“But I heard that Shen Baoqing is very good at riding and shooting. I’m afraid she will be the first this year.”

When Shen Baoqing was mentioned, Pei Yunzhu's face turned unhappy.

She rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, sister. I will find a way."

Pei Yunjin glanced at her and said, "Stop messing around."

"I know, I know."

But that afternoon, the horse that Shen Baoqing often rode suddenly became lame, and the other horses had already been reserved, so she had no horse to ride.

Shen Baoqing, who had no horse to ride, naturally withdrew from the competition.

And let out the words with regret.

"It's a rare trip back to Beijing, and I've encountered this unfortunate thing. I wish you all a successful start and have fun~"

After speaking, Miss Shen blocked Lu Sui's way with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"You actually crippled my horse just to get me to take care of your Yaoyao. Lu Sui, your sinister and treacherous nature is truly outrageous."

Lu Sui looked at her as if he was looking at a fool.

After a while, he said something.

"I'm not that boring!"

After saying that, he walked into Jiang Yueyao's room.

On the bed in the room, Jiang Yueyao leaned against the headboard, holding a storybook in her hand. She was fascinated by the boundless emotional tug-of-war between the cold-hearted prince and the young palace maid in the storybook, when she suddenly felt a dark shadow falling on her head.

She raised her head suddenly and met Lu Sui's dark eyes.

She was so frightened that she hurriedly stuffed the notebook under her pillow, but the other party snatched it away first...
