The next day, Liu Yushu pretended that everything was normal last night. She didn't dare to mention this to anyone.
"Miss, are you okay?" Zuitao was worried when she saw Liu Yushu in a daze.
"Huh?" Liu Yushu came to her senses and replied slowly, "I'm fine."
"Master Wu sent an apology letter. Do you want to take a look?" Zuitao handed the envelope to her.
Liu Yushu opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. This was the fifth apology letter she had received today, all written by Wu Chunzhe. The words might vary, but the meaning was the same: begging for her forgiveness.
This was Wu Chunzhe's attitude, while what she wanted was the attitude of the Wu family.
Forget it. After this incident, she thought the elders of the Wu family were really unreasonable. Even if she had feelings for Wu Chunzhe, she would surely suffer from her in - laws if she married into the Wu family in the future.
She told Zuitao to bring pen and paper and wrote a reply to Wu Chunzhe.
"Find a passer - by to deliver the letter. Don't go there in person, so as not to leave any evidence again." Liu Yushu instructed Zuitao.
Zuitao looked guilty and said, "Yes, I know. I will be careful this time."
In the afternoon, she went to the Prince Xianping's Mansion. Geng Rong invited her for tea.
There had been constant turmoil in the Prince Xianping's Mansion these days. What shocked Liu Yushu most was that Geng Rong's two elder brothers had died suddenly.
They were the two brothers who were with her that day. They had suddenly fallen ill and died one after another. Prince Xianping had fallen seriously ill because of this, which even alarmed the emperor.
This incident was really strange. Liu Yushu suspected that Geng Rong was involved.
"Sister Rong'er, did you...?" Liu Yushu hesitated.
Geng Rong was a person who dared to do and take responsibility. Since she could be so frank about her affair with her brothers, she naturally wasn't afraid of Liu Yushu's question.
Geng Rong rolled her eyes and said with a sly smile, "Sister, this has nothing to do with me. For men, once they lose their vitality, they are not far from death."
It wasn't Geng Rong who had killed them. Instead, her two elder brothers had been drained of their vitality by their concubines. Both of them had damaged their hearts and lungs and died.
Liu Yushu smiled slightly and said, "Well, it's not a bad thing. Only the dead can keep some secrets." Her words were clearly meaningful.
Geng Rong understood immediately. She picked up a hawthorn and lotus - seed cake and fed it to Liu Yushu, saying, "Sister is really thoughtful. You should give me more advice in the future." She took advantage and flattered Liu Yushu.
"Come here." Liu Yushu hooked her finger. Geng Rong leaned over and Liu Yushu whispered something in her ear, blushing.
Geng Rong's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. "Sister is really a blessed person. That man looks strong and healthy. He will surely end up like the ones in my family, dying suddenly."
She told Geng Rong about being raided by Wu Qing last night. She wasn't afraid to tell Geng Rong about this.
She was wondering why Wu Qing, who was clearly in the wrong at first, kept getting angry at her. After all, it was really her fault that had harmed him before, but didn't he know how to reflect on himself? To reflect on who was right and who was wrong.
Liu Yushu sighed in her heart. Alas, a martial - arts rogue was just a martial - arts rogue. He only had brute force but an empty head.
"Sister, you must be missing him!" Geng Rong covered her mouth and snickered.
"You naughty girl. If you make fun of me again, I'll leave." Liu Yushu pretended to be angry and threw the handkerchief on the table. How could she miss Wu Qing! No, no, no. She was really thinking about Wu Qing, but not in that way. Oh... it was all messed up. Her heart had been completely stirred up by Wu Qing.
Geng Rong immediately begged for mercy, "Don't go, sister." She grabbed Liu Yushu's hand and said, "Judging from what you said, this man must have some background. At the very least, he must be a martial - arts master. Otherwise, how could he have sneaked into your room without being noticed by anyone in the mansion? But since he came, why didn't he hurt you and left suddenly? I really can't figure it out. And he must have come for you. In my opinion, since he didn't get the answer he wanted, he will come to find you again in a few days."
Liu Yushu suddenly became worried. What Geng Rong said made her even more upset. Unconsciously, she recalled the scene when she confronted Wu Qing. His bright and cold eyes, his tightly pursed thick lips, his cold face with several old scars, and the vicissitudinous and dangerous aura emanating from his body.
He was very dangerous, but the more dangerous something was, the more charming it was. Undeniably, before his disfigurement, Wu Qing was a handsome man full of banditry, rascality and wildness. His handsomeness didn't come from his regular and good - looking facial features, but from his temperament, a kind of strong and domineering temperament of a martial - arts leader. If she could be his wife, the woman of a leader, it might be really awesome.
"Judging from his words, it seems that he knows you. Do you really not know him?" Geng Rong asked curiously.
Liu Yushu shook her head苦恼ly and said, "I really don't know him. His face is very distinctive. Once you've seen it, you won't forget it easily." Liu Yushu didn't tell Geng Rong the truth. This was a confidential matter. She wouldn't tell others unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Even without that ugly face, you won't forget him now, will you?" Geng Rong smiled wickedly.
Liu Yushu's heart skipped a beat. It was as if she was sick. Just thinking about her past with Wu Qing made her blush.
"Well, if you have another chance to see that ugly guy, tell him to come to me. I'll meet him." Geng Rong twisted the silk handkerchief with her hands and then tightly grasped it. She said confidently, "I don't believe that I can't make him talk with my skills."
Liu Yushu just smiled and said nothing.
I'm afraid there aren't many men in the world who can escape Geng Rong's palm.
As it was getting dark, Liu Yushu was about to go back, but was stopped by Geng Rong.
"Sister, why don't you stay here tonight? That ugly guy is so powerful. I'll stay with you and wait for him. As long as he dares to show up, I'll be able to capture him. Such a dangerous person can't be allowed to leave easily." There was a cruel look in Geng Rong's eyes.
"This... He doesn't know I'm here." Liu Yushu hesitated.
"Sister, have you been scared silly by him?" Geng Rong whispered in her ear, "He's very familiar with the fragrance on your body. He can find you just by following the smell." Liu Yushu always had a faint smell of licorice on her body, which would be remembered by both men and women.
At night.
Liu Yushu was arranged in a hidden room by Geng Rong. She also exchanged clothes with Geng Rong. Geng Rong said that this would surely attract the ugly guy from last night.
Liu Yushu looked at the candle on the table, feeling uneasy. Although it was already late at night, she wasn't sleepy at all.
She thought that if he really came, he would fall into Geng Rong's gentle trap... She was a little worried about what would happen next. She wasn't worried about Geng Rong, but about Wu Qing. After all, which man could resist Geng Rong?
But what worried Liu Yushu most was what Wu Qing had said.
He said that there was a poisonous insect in her body, and it could attack at any time as long as he wanted.
Thinking of this, Liu Yushu shivered. Suddenly, she heard a sharp scream in her ear. It was Geng Rong's scream.
What was going on? Was Geng Rong in trouble? Had he really come?
