Chapter 179
Lu Rou?
The thought of him returning but not being there made Pei Lingjun very upset.
I wrote to her a few days ago, saying that I would be returning in the next few days. But she is so carefree, spending her time chatting and eating with other people. It seems that she doesn't miss him at all.
Pei Lingjun silently went to Wen Shu's room.
I lit the candles and looked around the room; it was still the same familiar place I remembered from before I left.
Several fresh wintersweet blossoms were arranged in a porcelain vase on a tall table by the window, their bright red color quite beautiful.
Pei Lingjun idly fiddled with the flower petals for a while, then sat down on the fragrant couch in the woman's boudoir. His breath was filled with a familiar, faint fragrance, exactly the same as that person's.
Pei Lingjun let out a long sigh, buried half of his face in the soft quilt, his chest heaving several times, unable to suppress the longing in his heart.
He was driven mad with longing; if he couldn't see anyone again, he would go insane.
The neatly arranged bedding was now in disarray. He glanced over and noticed the colorful ropes at the bottom of the quilt. He stretched out his long arm and, as if possessed, wrapped the ropes around his fingertips and pulled them out.
What catches the eye is a complete colorful ribbon. Although it is made somewhat crookedly, you can still see the effort the person put into it.
The young man smiled contentedly, deciding to forgive her for leaving him alone there.
More than a month has passed since they last met, and the longing he feels for her is overwhelming, making it difficult for him to contain his emotions.
He called out to summon his shadow guard, who sat cross-legged on the edge of the couch and asked in detail, "Where did they go? When did they leave?"
"Reporting to Master, Fourth Lady Wen has not returned today, so we do not know where she is. Should we summon Qing Sui?"
Qing Sui is a young shadow guard who follows Wen Shu during the day to protect her safety.
The others mostly stayed near the courtyard and didn't go out often.
The young man paused for a moment, glanced at the several shadow guards who knew nothing, and said with displeasure, "You don't even know where the person is? Have you been too well taken care of in Shanzhou City, making you lazy?"
Several shadow guards immediately knelt on one knee, knowing that their master was in a bad mood, and remained silent.
"If this happens again, you'll all have to go back to Jijing!"
"yes--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally plain window paper was suddenly tinged with a dark blue.
The expressions on the faces of the people inside the room changed instantly.
A shadow guard near the window strode forward, pushed the window open, and was taken aback when he saw the dark blue pattern in the sky.
"Oh no, something's happened!"
They even used emergency communication flares, which are only used when absolutely necessary, so something must have happened to Qing Sui.
The pattern that had been still in the sky for a few breaths gradually disappeared from Pei Lingjun's sight. He barely had time to react before he memorized the location where the pattern had appeared and shouted to several shadow guards, "All of you, get out here!"
Behind the courtyard, Cui Pei was feeding the two horses when he suddenly saw his eldest brother's intimidating aura. He snatched the saddle and rode away.
Several shadow guards who had followed hurriedly used their lightness skills to leap over walls and scale rooftops to get there.
Startled, Cui Pei quickly grabbed another horse and hurriedly followed.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Inside the luxurious house, a warm fragrance wafted through the air, making one feel warm all over.
However, the windows of the house were tightly closed, so much so that the person inside was somewhat delirious from the heat, her cheeks flushed, and she had a rather alluring appearance.
Qing Sui wished he could gouge out his own eyes. He knew that this girl was someone his master cherished. If he had seen her innocent and naive nature, how could his master have forgiven him?
