PNB Chapter 238 is a Tyrant Flower
Chapter 238 is a Tyrant Flower
There were still some faint lights in the city, and Shen Murui used the light to examine the dark gate in front of her.
Of course she had nothing to worry about. From the moment she chose to trust Su Mowan, she had completely entrusted her fate to Su Mowan's hands.
Of course, she will continue to believe.
Shen Murui nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Su Mowan reached out and helped her down from the horse.
As soon as she landed, Shen Murui felt her legs go weak and she almost lost her balance and fell.
Su Mowan reacted quickly and helped the person up. She then said to Yinshuang, who had just dismounted, "Go knock on the door."
With nowhere to tie the horse, Yinshuang simply placed the reins on the horse's back, letting it paw at the ground, and walked towards the dark gate.
There were no brass rings on the gate, so Yinshuang loosely clenched her fist and knocked directly.
Su Mowan released the reins and led Shen Murui over.
Yinshuang knocked three or four times, but no one answered. She turned to look at Su Mowan and asked if she should just start calling out.
Su Mowan frowned slightly, then smiled slyly.
"No need, you protect Miss Shen, I'll be right back."
Before the words were even finished, the person had already risen from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they had leaped over the wall and disappeared from the two people's sight.
Shen Murui knew Su Mowan was powerful, but when she caught her at the bottom of the cliff, Su Mowan was tied with ropes, so she didn't think she was that powerful. Now, Su Mowan used her beautiful lightness skill and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Shen Murui stunned.
I'm so envious.
Of course, she also knew that such skill did not come for nothing; it must have been acquired through years of arduous practice. Thinking of this, the envy in her heart turned into deep admiration.
After Su Mowan climbed over the wall, she went straight to the courtyard where she had seen Lu Yifeng last time. Logically speaking, Lu Yifeng must live in that courtyard.
As expected, she could see the courtyard standing out so conspicuously in the darkness from afar, and knew that Lu Yifeng was definitely there.
She was still dressed in men's clothing and not wearing a mask. It wasn't appropriate to meet Lu Yifeng in this appearance, but there was no other way.
Su Mowan walked towards the lit courtyard.
As they passed one of the courtyards, a faint gust of wind and the soft rustling of clothes suddenly came from behind them.
Without needing to discern the sound of the wind, Su Mowan knew it was the wind of a palm strike. She instantly turned and struck out with her palm, meeting the attack squarely.
Not knowing whether the person was friend or foe, she subconsciously used seven or eight tenths of her internal strength, only to send the person flying more than ten feet away.
It took the man a while to steady himself; he stood on the wall as if a gust of wind would send him tumbling down.
"Why are you being so ruthless? Cough cough..."
Upon hearing the voice, Su Mowan knew who it was.
She shrugged innocently.
"Who told Young Master Yu to suddenly appear behind me? And you were indeed planning to ambush me."
Yu Lin coughed twice more before stopping.
He simply sat down on the wall and said weakly, "Even if it was a sneak attack, you broke into someone's house at night first, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
"Of course I'm in the wrong, so I have no intention of reasoning with Young Master Yu. You failed in your sneak attack, so why are you blaming me?"
"..."
Whether out of anger or speechless at the statement, Young Master Yu coughed again in a muffled voice.
Su Mowan's tongue, which she hadn't used in a long time, started moving again. Seeing him coughing incessantly, she frowned and asked doubtfully, "Young Master Yu, you can't be that delicate, can you? I only used seven-tenths of my strength."
"..."
The delicate young master Yu said he didn't want to talk anymore.
What do you mean by "only used seven-tenths of his strength"? He only used four or five-tenths!
Young Master Yu recognized Su Mowan as the thief who climbed over the wall from the very beginning; it was also his fault for underestimating her.
I thought Su Mowan was a delicate flower, but who knew she was a fierce and domineering one.
I really couldn't tell.
Young Master Yu thought of what he had learned that afternoon and immediately wondered how Tang Minzhi could have fallen for a woman like that. Even if Su Mowan wasn't married, how could Tang Minzhi, with his weak and scholarly demeanor, possibly have the ability to handle someone like Su Mowan?
Then he thought of King Murong Jing of Qin and couldn't help but sigh that the two of them were a perfect match.
After thinking it over and over, he looked up and realized that Su Mowan had long since disappeared, and he could only smile helplessly.
During the day, he deliberately waited at the end of the street and asked Su Mowan, "Are you really married?"
Su Mowan glanced at him and said, "Why is Young Master Yu meddling in so many other people's business?"
Looking back now, he realizes that his question was completely unnecessary. He even waited for a while at the street corner just to worry about Tang Minzhi, but looking back tonight, it was all for nothing.
Someone like Su Mowan is not a good match for Tang Minzhi.
Yu Lin shook his head and sighed, somewhat regretting that he had made things difficult for himself. His chest was still aching, and he couldn't help but resent Su Mowan for going too far.
Su Mowan left everyone behind and went straight to Lu Yifeng's place. Just then, a maid opened the door and came out to pour water, presumably after she had helped Lu Yifeng wash up.
Su Mowan landed directly behind the maid.
The maid poured water and turned around when someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling her so much that she dropped the wooden basin on the ground with a clatter.
The maid was about to scream at the top of her lungs.
Su Mowan quickly said, "Don't panic, young lady. I'm a friend of Young Master Lu. I need to talk to him about something. Is he still awake?"
The maid recognized that voice!
She swallowed the shout that was about to come out of her throat and said with lingering fear, "I...I haven't fallen asleep yet. I'll go and inform you!"
Su Mowan knew that the maid recognized her, but she definitely didn't see that she was wearing men's clothing. She didn't deliberately hide her voice either. The maid knew her identity and would definitely go in first to let her know.
Soon, Lu Yifeng's figure could be seen through the window, and he looked like he was getting dressed.
At this moment, the maid came out, carrying a lantern in her hand.
"This way please, my young master will be out in a moment."
"No need, I'll wait here. You go outside and tell them; there are two other people waiting to come in."
Su Mowan showed no awareness of being a guest and directly ordered around the other person's maid.
The maid was also intimidated by her 'unpretentious' demeanor. She hesitated for only a moment before carrying the lantern and walking towards the outermost courtyard, clearly to open the door.
It was only then that Su Mowan realized that Lu Yifeng's place was too casual. There weren't many maids; she had only seen four or five. Moreover, there were no guards, and apart from Lu Yifeng, there was no other man in the courtyard.
Of course, that Young Master Yu doesn't count.
Su Mowan didn't sense any hidden guards in the courtyard. Wasn't Lu Yifeng known for having many enemies? Why was he so unguarded?
If villains, thieves, or enemies come, only Lu Yifeng can handle them.
Just as I was worrying about someone, I saw Lu Yifeng come out.
Su Mowan looked over and realized that the lights in the room were much brighter than before, probably because other lamps had been turned on.
"You're calling me so late, is something wrong?"
Seeing that she was dressed in men's clothing, Lu Yifeng glanced at her curiously, but he wasn't as cold as he had been last time.
When Su Mo spoke with him at the painting pavilion last night, she deliberately changed her voice a little. So when Lu Yifeng kept staring at her, she thought that Lu Yifeng suspected that she and Young Master Mo were the same person.
Su Mowan didn't want to be recognized right now, so she quickly softened her voice and said, "Young Master Lu, the previous murder case was quite troublesome. Thank you."
Lu Yifeng raised an eyebrow.
Did she come all this way just to say this?
Isn't it inappropriate to come so late at night? And why is she dressed like this, especially since she's alone?
To cover one's tracks?
In the middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman...
cough.
As Lu Yifeng thought this, he casually looked the man up and down and then said, "It was just a small favor."
Su Mowan said, "I came tonight because I want you to do me another favor."
"..."
Lu Yifeng almost choked on his breath. He coughed lightly and said with an air of superiority, "Is there anything important that requires my help so late at night?"
That sounds awkward at first glance.
Su Mowan didn't mince words and said directly, "I need Young Master Lu to take in a young lady for a few days. I'll pick her up after that."
Did he take in a woman in the middle of the night?
Lu Yifeng had never seen anything like this before, and at the same time, he was glad that he hadn't been asked to take in a man.
If it were a man, he wouldn't dare take him in. He might be some gigolo that Su Mowan had picked up outside. If Murong Jing found out, he would definitely think he was covering for her, and he would burn his Luohua Pavilion down!
However, women aren't much better off than men.
It's not very convenient for him, being a bachelor, right?
Before Lu Yifeng could refuse, he heard several footsteps.
It was the maid who went to open the door who brought in Yinshuang and Shen Murui.
Lu Yifeng was speechless.
Since everyone was already inside, he couldn't just kick them out, so he said, slightly annoyed, "No problem, I don't have much else here, but I have plenty of yards, so accommodating one person is easy."
Su Mowan knew that Lu Yifeng was not happy. If it were her, she wouldn't be happy either, being disturbed in the middle of the night by someone she wasn't even that close to.
So Su Mowan thanked her gratefully.
At this moment, the maid also arrived with people. Su Mowan did not intend to introduce them, and Lu Yifeng only glanced at Shen Murui before instructing the maid to take people to the guest room.
Shen Murui, who had been keeping her eyes down, boldly raised her gaze and looked at Lu Yifeng through the lantern held by the maid.
I could only see his profile.
Seeing that he seemed unhappy, she felt uneasy and could only look at Su Mowan again.
Su Mowan smiled reassuringly, took her hand, and prepared to personally escort her to the guest room.
The maid led the way.
Lu Yifeng looked at Su Mowan's back and frowned slightly. He then carefully examined Su Mowan's walking posture, and an expression of disbelief gradually appeared in his eyes.
