Chapter 198
After Lu Rou's outburst, she finally became estranged from the Lu family.
Wen Shumo sat behind the table in the hall, flipping through medical books and copying prescriptions. Suddenly, a dark-faced servant knocked on the shop door. Hanxiang hurriedly put down her work. A few words of conversation came from outside the door, and then they quickly dispersed.
Before long, Hanxiang came in carrying a letter, and handed it to Wenshu with surprise and doubt, "Miss, it's a letter from Anyang."
The hand holding the brush paused, and a drop of thick ink accidentally dripped down the tip of the brush, spreading a stain on the rice paper.
Wen Shu's brow twitched. Ignoring the soiled Xuan paper, she immediately took it. The writing on the envelope flashed before her eyes several times, and she could hardly make out what was written on it!
My heart pounded. A letter from Anyang? Could it be that someone has discovered something...?
With this in mind, Wen Shu looked closely and saw a line of elegant handwriting slowly appear before her eyes—To be opened by A Shu herself.
The name Wen Fu wasn't used directly; the handwriting was elegant, and the address was affectionate, so it should undoubtedly be A-Yan.
Her heart sank back down, and Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief as if she had escaped a disaster. When she came to her senses, she was shocked to find that her inner clothes were soaked with sweat.
Wen Shu slowly unfolded the letter and read it carefully, word by word. After a long while, she silently put the letter down.
After wiping the wooden frame, Hanxiang came over and saw that the person was not moving and her brows were furrowed with worry. She asked anxiously, "Miss, has something happened?"
“It’s not really that…” Wen Shu said, fiddling with the two sheets of Xuan paper. “It was Ayan who wrote to me saying that someone in Anyang was inquiring about the whereabouts of the Wen family.”
Hanxiang was surprised and her eyes widened slightly. "But everyone else has already been exiled, and everyone knows that... why are they still asking about it?"
It was precisely because everyone knew about the Wen family's crime that Zhuang Yan said those people were acting suspiciously and she wondered what they were investigating.
The rest of the Wen family were exiled to Jinzhou. She rescued her mother and younger brother in advance. Could it be that someone discovered that their deaths were suspicious?
Feeling uneasy, Wen Shu frowned. Although they were in Shanzhou, their appearances hadn't changed. If someone really paid attention and inquired, it was only a matter of time before they found them.
“I don’t know either, but Ayan said that Zhu Langjun stayed in Anyang, and she wants to ask him to investigate.”
Hanxiang tilted her head in confusion and murmured, "Why did Master Zhu go to Anyang? Isn't Lord Pei in our Shanzhou right now?"
"The real intention is not in the wine; only Zhu Langjun himself knows what he is thinking."
Wen Shuteng changed the Xuan paper and picked up the pen to write a reply.
Meanwhile, inside the outer courtyard of the Lu residence.
Cui Pei strode in carrying a small bucket of lacquered secret letter. He saw Pei Lingjun bent over his desk reading the official gazette from Jijing a few days ago, and couldn't help but lower his breathing.
"Boss?"
"What is it?" He didn't even lift his eyelids. Upon hearing this, he simply stretched slightly, picked up the teacup on his right, and took a sip.
Cui Pei handed over the secret letter, saying, "This is a secret letter sent by the shadow guards who are lurking in Anyang."
Upon hearing the name Anyang, Pei Lingjun subconsciously looked up. Ever since he regained his memories, fearing that Wen Shu might leave any clues about what she had done in Anyang, he had specially sent several shadow guards to be stationed in Anyang to monitor the situation.
There weren't many secret letters sent from Anyang. The first one was a reply to Zhu Zijin, who had secretly slipped away to Anyang. This is the second one today.
Pei Lingjun peeled off the seal on the secret letter and quickly read it through, his expression changing slightly.
