Chapter 34 Not even allowed to enter the door?

Lin Wei glanced at him indifferently: "If we wait until things happen before we can remedy them, wouldn't that be too passive? Besides, didn't Young Master Pei say that you could help? Since that's the case, how could I not give you this opportunity? Do you think you could get away so easily if I hadn't secretly asked Shi Feng to help you?"

Pei Jiming: ...Isn't it just that you want to distract him so you can be alone with Shen Shu? And you make it sound so high-sounding.

But that wasn't what Shen Shu was thinking about.

It turns out that Lin Wei had already laid out his plan from the moment he decided to save these women. His so-called "confirmation of one thing" was probably something he had already planned out.

Upon reaching the fork in the road, Pei Jiming said, "Lord Lin, you are going a different way from us from here on out. Why don't you let me escort Miss Shen back?"

Lin Wei smiled sinisterly: "You wish."

Shen Shu: ...

The next second, Lin Wei grabbed her by the back of the neck and carried her flying towards the direction of the Earl's Mansion.

Pei Jiming was left alone, jumping up and down in a panic, vowing that he would find a master to teach him light-body skills the next day.

Lin Wei shoved Shen Shu back into her boudoir: "Tomorrow I will have someone guard your courtyard. If you dare to secretly meet with him again, then I, the Marquis, will not mind having a wife with a broken leg."

Shen Shu nodded vigorously; she still cherished her legs.

But she was innocent; Pei Jiming had clearly come to find her.

But seeing Lin Wei's gloomy face, Shen Shu didn't dare to say those words.

Lin Wei remained silent for a very long time.

So long that Shen Shu wondered if he didn't want to leave.

Lin Wei: "Then I'll be leaving."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shu felt that his tone was very strange.

Why did Lin Wei give her the feeling that he wanted her to stay?

...

Shen Shu was busy at Prince Cheng's residence for most of the night and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

Madam Fang entered the room and reported, "Second Miss, news came from the front courtyard that His Majesty has issued an edict saying that the Empress Dowager's health is still not good, and has ordered all officials' families to go to Qiyun Temple, the royal temple outside the city, to transcribe scriptures and pray for the Empress Dowager."

Her words revealed her dissatisfaction: "Even the Madam and the Eldest Miss are included. They've only been locked up for a few days, and now they're going to be released again. Who knows what they'll do to the Second Miss when they get out."

Shen Shu had long since figured out Wen Lanting and her daughter's capabilities and didn't take it to heart: "I know, I will be careful then, but the most important thing right now is for you to prepare the carriage, we need to go out and find someone."

We need to find Lin Wei and discuss how to redeem Fang Lanzhi from the madam of Yunyan Pavilion.

Shen Shu wanted to go find Pei Jiming, but suddenly remembered Lin Wei's gloomy face last night and the threatening words he whispered in her ear.

I'm too afraid to go see Pei Jiming now.

After all… Lin Wei is someone she simply can’t afford to offend!

When Madam Fang heard that she was going out, she was quite excited: "Yes, this servant will go and give the order right away."

It wasn't until the carriage stopped in front of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence that she realized Shen Shu had come to see Lin Wei.

She secretly chuckled to herself, wondering if the second young lady was missing the Marquis.

So he hurried forward and informed the gatekeeper that Shen Shu had arrived.

But when the gatekeeper saw Shen Shu's face, he mistook her for Shen Xiao.

"Go away, go away. I waited all day a few days ago and you still can't wait enough. How can you be so shameless?"

Madam Fang's face turned a deep shade of liver: "This is the second young lady, the Marquis's fiancée. Watch your mouth."

The gatekeeper didn't believe it at all: "The Marquis has never said that he has a fiancée, nor has he given us any instructions. I'm wondering why you young ladies are getting better and better at making up lies."

Madam Fang was furious: "This is the second young lady of the Bo Gong family. The marriage was personally bestowed by the current emperor. How can you talk nonsense? The imperial decree is still at the Bo Gong family's residence!"

The gatekeeper waved his hand to stop them, neither replying nor trying to shoo the housekeeper away. Based on his experience, he knew they usually wouldn't leave unless they gave up waiting.

Shen Shu heard everything clearly and immediately gave Lin Wei a negative score in her mind.

"Aunt Fang, come back."

Shen Shu lifted the curtain: "Tell Lin Wei not to regret it."

The gatekeeper thought to himself, what a joke. What kind of person is their Marquis? Would he regret something because of a woman?

Shen Shu appeared calm on the surface, but she had actually been furious for quite some time.

She never imagined that Lin Wei would climb through her window in the middle of the night, rush to the Cheng Prince's mansion to rescue someone because of her words, and who had stayed in her room late last night as if he didn't want to leave, but he wouldn't even let her in.

The gatekeeper of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence was so negligent, which must have been with Lin Wei's tacit approval. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to be so rude to Shen Shu even if he had ten times the courage.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her frustration, and instructed the driver, "To Yunyan Pavilion."

Since Lin Wei was avoiding her, she couldn't just sit and wait to die; Fang Lanzhi's matter couldn't be delayed.

Upon hearing the words "Yunyan Pavilion," Madam Fang was so frightened she almost forgot to breathe: "Second Miss, that's a brothel! What are we going to do in a place like that?"

Looking at the Dingyuan Marquis's residence getting further and further away, Shen Shu said with a hint of resentment, "Of course we're going to enjoy ourselves."

Madam Fang had heard of Yunyan Pavilion before; she had only heard it from the young master's servants, who said that the building not only catered to male guests but also to female guests.

Could it be that what the Second Miss just said to the Marquis, telling him not to regret it, meant going to a brothel to find men?

Did you cuckold him?

Madam Fang's face immediately turned into a rainbow of colors. She thought to herself that their second young lady was too audacious. If the Marquis found out, she would be beaten to death.

But Shen Shu looked determined to go, so she probably couldn't stop her even if she tried.

For now, the only option is to deal with each move as it comes. If the Second Miss really wants some random man, she will definitely nitpick and find fault with him to dissuade her from even thinking about finding a man.
