Chapter 170 Eat Shit
In the evening, Bai Shaoting returned home.
The food box returned to Jiang Yueyao's hands as usual. She opened it and looked at the clean dishes inside. She picked them up casually and was about to wash them again when she saw a note pressed at the bottom of the bowl.
The moment she saw the note, her originally calm heart suddenly started beating wildly.
Afraid of being seen, she clutched the note in her hand, turned and walked out of the kitchen, and went straight back to her room.
Her house is right next to Shen Baoqing's.
After closing the door and turning on the floor heating in the room, she entered the inner room with a guilty conscience.
After sitting down on the edge of the bed, he carefully unfolded the note wrapped in his palm.
The handwriting on the note was neat, but the strokes were sharp.
Just like Lu Sui.
Having not seen him for a long time, Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but have tears in her eyes even though they had only exchanged a few words.
But when she saw clearly what was written on it, the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes were forced back.
Just because it says...
"The dumpling wrappers are a bit thick and salty, and there's a bit too much chopped green onions. I want to eat hand-rolled noodles tomorrow!"
Jiang Yueyao's sadness and longing disappeared without a trace in an instant.
She threw the note aside, stood up, and put her hands on her hips in anger.
"Still want to eat hand-rolled noodles? Go eat shit!"
Sure enough, Jiang Yueyao didn't cook the next morning.
Bai Shaoting waited for a while, and seeing that no one came over, he came to her yard.
"No food today?"
Jiang Yueyao said angrily: "No, I won't give it to him!"
"What's wrong?" Bai Shaoting perked up immediately after hearing this. "Why are you suddenly not giving him food?"
He looked gossipy, which made Jiang Yueyao suddenly shut up.
"Nothing, I'm just tired today and don't want to do it anymore." She turned and went into the house. It was obvious from her expression that she was irritated.
Bai Shaoting was so curious.
The girl didn't want to say anything, and he couldn't just keep asking her.
So, with a lot of questions in my mind, I went to the imperial prison.
Lu Sui glanced at him, his eyes swept over his empty hands, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Bai Shaoting squatted in front of him curiously.
"Xiao Yaoyao didn't cook for you today."
"Um."
"Why doesn't she cook for you anymore?"
"You ask me?" Lu Sui looked up at him, "Why don't you just ask her directly?"
"I asked her, and she said she was tired, but it doesn't look like she's tired, but rather annoyed with you." Bai Shaoting looked at Lu Sui's expression, "You pissed her off, didn't you?"
Lu Sui suddenly stopped talking.
"How did you offend her?" Bai Shaoting was stunned. "Did you sneak out last night?"
What responded to him was the book in Lu Sui's hand.
Bai Shaoting, who was hit, felt even more itchy.
He walked towards the door feeling very aggrieved, talking as he walked.
"I will never bring you food again. You two actually have a little secret behind my back."
----
There was no morning court today, so Pei Zhangyuan stayed at home for a while longer.
It was already late in the morning when he left the house.
After he left, Pei Yunjin waited patiently for a while and then went out.
When she was leaving, she happened to meet the housekeeper of the Pei Mansion. The housekeeper looked at her and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, young lady?"
Pei Yunjin took out the post he had prepared long ago.
"Rui Ning invited me to go shopping today. It's almost New Year's Day, and the streets are bustling. Going out for a walk will make me feel better."
The butler smiled and nodded.
"You're right to think so, girl."
Pei Yunjin left the house and did not go to the Dali Temple immediately, but walked around the street.
I went into a few shops and bought a few things.
Then, while no one was paying attention, he turned into a small alley and entered the alley behind the Dali Temple.
Someone had been waiting at the back. When he saw her coming, he opened the door and invited her in without saying a word.
After turning countless corners along the way, Pei Yunjin was led to prison by the other party.
This was her first time seeing such a place, so she was naturally scared.
The little face turned pale with fear.
The jailer leading the way saw that she was quite frightened and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, young lady. It may be a little dark here, but no one will hurt you."
Pei Yunjin took a deep breath, calmed himself, and followed his footsteps.
After walking for another half a cup of tea, the jailer stopped in front of a prison door.
"Girl, it's right here."
Pei Yunjin glanced inside in panic and saw Lu Sui.
The panic in my heart suddenly dissipated by half.
She pulled a purse from her sleeve and handed it to the jailer: "Please wait for me outside for a while. I'll have a few words with Lord Lu and then I'll leave."
"Okay, okay." The other party took it and turned away.
After the other person left, Pei Yunjin stood in front of the fence, looking at Lu Sui who was sitting with his back to her. Her eyes became hot and she suddenly burst into tears.
"Lord Lu..."
The call of "Master Lu" was affectionate, gentle and beautiful.
Lu Sui turned around, his face slightly gloomy, as if he had not expected her to be here.
"Ms. Pei? Why are you here?"
His word "Miss Pei" made Pei Yunjin cry again.
He is the man she has liked for a long time.
He is also the man she has always wanted to marry.
Now he is in prison!
She saw that he looked haggard. Although the prison uniform on his body still could not hide his awe-inspiring temperament, she thought that the Taifu who was so cold and noble in the past had fallen to such a state.
When she saw him, Pei Yunjin couldn't help but think of herself.
Myself one day in the future.
If her mother was really forced to death by her father, and if her father really let Fan Yurou take that position, she might be even more miserable than Lu Sui.
The thought of this filled her with fear and she couldn't sleep all night.
So, she wanted to save herself and also save Lu Sui.
She looked at Lu Sui with tears in her eyes.
The voice was choked and weak.
"Ever since I learned you were imprisoned, I've been unable to sleep. I don't believe you would collaborate with the enemy. They must have framed you."
Lu Sui glanced at her and said in a calm voice, "Does your father know that you came here to see me?"
Pei Yunjin shook his head: "He doesn't know..."
Then he continued, "Nowadays, he doesn't care where I go. In his heart, my sister and I are nothing."
Seeing Lu Sui didn't say anything, she hurriedly said: "I know you were framed, and I also know that you were harmed by your father, so Lord Lu, I want to help you."
"Help me?" Lu Sui raised an eyebrow, finding it funny. "How can a weak woman like you help me?"
"You know your father and I are political enemies, are you sure you still want to help me?" Lu Sui stared at her and slowly put away the smile on his face. "Ms. Pei, time is limited. I hate beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
He saw through her purpose at a glance.
Pei Yunjin wiped away the tears in her eyes.
She took a deep breath.
Looking at him, I suppressed the trembling in my heart.
"My father is extremely ambitious. He wants supreme power."
"But I don't want him to get what he wants. If you can stop him, I can help you do anything."
Lu Sui looked at her and suddenly stopped talking.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Pei Yunjin became anxious.
"Father has a booklet in his hand. He always carries it with him. I think it must be very important."
"Master Lu, I can steal it for you!"
Lu Sui had no interest in the booklet.
He spoke lightly.
"Your father has a painting by Mr. Ji hidden in his study. Although only half of it remains, it is still very precious. If you are willing to part with it, could you please let me take a look at it?"
