Chapter 54
That night, Wen Shu slept extremely hard, dreaming of swords and shadows, and how she was alone, forced to a cliff by many black-clad men in black armor.
Behind him was a bottomless abyss, and in front of him were dozens of assassins wielding knives and swords.
This is a dilemma; there is no third way out.
Wen Shu smiled silently, and under the murderous gazes of more than a dozen assassins, she leaped off the cliff.
The wind whistled past my ears, and the rapid descent made my heart leap into my throat, pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.
A sudden, intense feeling of weightlessness washed over her entire body, and Wen Shu sat up abruptly.
Sunlight streamed in, fragmented into various shapes by the window frames, and spread across the floor; it was getting late.
Hanxiang stepped in through the window frame, her shadow falling on the window frame. "Miss, you got up late today. The young master went to school by himself."
Wen Shu lowered her eyelashes. Wen Ji must have misunderstood something last night. She needed to find an opportunity to explain it to him.
Instead of waiting for Wenji to return to the mansion, they received a letter from Pei Lingjun.
Wenji didn't go to the school at all; instead, he went to find Pei Lingjun?
Wen Shu secretly gasped and quickly called Han Xiang to go to Baihe Restaurant to look for the person.
At that time.
Baihe Restaurant.
Cui Pei stood guard outside the upstairs room, barely daring to breathe, observing his surroundings with utmost vigilance.
Anyang Prefecture is such a small place that one Marquis's son is not enough, and now even the Princess of Sui'an has come.
Cui Pei silently calculated in his mind, thinking that the princess's pace was too fast, and that she was probably being escorted by the palace's secret guards.
And coincidentally, their leader had just discovered the young master of the Wen family who had secretly followed them at the Baihe Restaurant, and had just delivered a letter to Wen Si Niangzi, when he ran into Princess Sui'an.
This is really bad luck.
Cui Pei sighed inwardly a hundred and eight times, praying that Wen Shu would arrive a little later, or that the princess inside would leave quickly.
However, things did not go as planned.
As Cui Peizheng stood by the door sighing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the corner of the stairs.
He leaned on the upstairs railing and looked down. Who else could it be but Wen Shu, the person leading the maid up the steps?!
In an instant, the string in his mind tightened, and the hair on his body stood on end. Seeing Wen Shu turn and go upstairs, it was too late to go back and call the boss. He could only slip away and wait at the bottom of the stairs.
"Wen Si Niangzi?"
Wen Shu disliked Pei Lingjun, which was obvious to both Han Xiang and Cui Pei, but what could they do when their boss liked Fourth Sister?
Cui Pei felt that he absolutely couldn't let Fourth Sister see the eldest son and the princess alone in a room today, otherwise this matter would be impossible to clear up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Just as Zhu Xiaolangjun said, he had to do his part for his boss's important life event.
In an instant, Cui Pei grasped the key point and quickly said with a smile, "Fourth Madam, my husband is not available right now. Young Master Wen is waiting in the side room..."
Wen Shu hadn't slept well last night and still had a headache when she woke up this morning. She nodded when she heard this, not noticing that Cui Pei was being unusually attentive today.
"Please come with me, Fourth Mistress." Cui Pei pointed in a direction, indicating that he would take Wen Shu there.
After seeing Wenji follow him into the restaurant, Pei Lingjun ordered another private room to be booked on the second floor, right next to the one he had reserved, but you had to walk through the corridor to get there.
Footsteps echoed as Wen Shu led Han Xiang upstairs. They had only taken a few steps when the door to the side room in front of them suddenly opened with a 'whoosh'.
The young man was in front and just saw Cui Pei passing by. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly looked back. Sure enough, he saw Wen Shu behind him, and his movements froze instantly.
