CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127: SO LATE AT NIGHT, SHE’S STILL HAVING A TRYST WITH THE FAKE LU YUAN!

Just as she was about to enter, she saw Tang Zan walking out, his face icy enough to drop ice shards, with his thin lips pressed into a line.

His gaze swept directly over her, looking at Yan Hengyin behind her.

Tang Zan’s eyes narrowed, filled with a dangerous look.

Lu Yuan?

This person had always seemed strange to him. Recently, his spies reported that Lu Yuan had been seriously injured but was now back in the army.

So, who was this person then?

Having stayed here for so long, why haven’t they left yet?

Why did they come back with Pei Shu’er?

Did they come down from the rear mountain together before?

What were they doing?

The more Tang Zan thought about it, the uglier his face became, and when he closed his eyes, he could only see Pei Shu’er being intimate with Lu Yuan.

His heart felt suffocated with discomfort.

He knew such thoughts were not right; Pei Shu’er was not that kind of person, but he couldn’t control himself.

The fake Lu Yuan looked at Pei Shu’er with eyes that seemed sticky, as if he considered Pei Shu’er his possession.

But why, Pei Shu’er was his.

Only his.

Even if she turned to dust, Pei Shu’er would still be Tang Peishi.

His heart was full of anger, and he thought of stabbing this bastard to death with a sword.

But he also wanted to see what the bastard was planning.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions rolling in his eyes.

"My lady, the meal is ready."

Pei Shu’er’s face was pale; she forced out a feeble smile and followed Tang Zan into the room.

Tang Zan’s downcast eyes hid his inner emotions.

Pei Shu’er had good emotional control and rarely showed fluctuations. Her expressions of happiness or anger were only because she needed to show such emotions.

But like now, her emotions had affected her complexion, even forcing a smile.

He knew then that their outing was probably not simple.

He clenched his hand tightly; his nails dug into his flesh, only this way could he maintain his reason.

After dinner, Pei Shu’er went to wash up, then returned to her room to sleep.

In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by pain. Her abdomen felt as if it was being gnawed by countless poisonous insects.

She knew it was the pull of the Power of Plot; now she would feel better just by being close to Tang Zan.

She sat up drenched in cold sweat and went to knock on Tang Zan’s door.

After knocking for a long time, there was no response from Tang Zan.

Only then did she realize that, most likely, it was precisely because Tang Zan wasn’t there that the Power of Plot backfired on her.

Now there were only two people who could alleviate her pain: one was Lu Yuan, and the other was Tang Zan.

But Lu Yuan was on the Third Prince’s side; she instinctively resisted this Third Prince and did not want to seek him out.

She searched for Tang Zan’s figure in the stone house, but Tang Zan seemed to have vanished into thin air.

When she finally reached the lookout tower, she saw Tang Zan wearing a blue cross-collared long robe, standing tall and dignified, facing a man in black.

The man in black was kneeling, looking respectful.

Even though Pei Shu’er wanted to get close to Tang Zan, she knew he was handling important matters now.

Judging from the appearance of the man in black, he might be one of Tang Zan’s hidden subordinates.

Moreover, such secrets were probably not something she could know in her current situation.

Perhaps if Tang Zan discovered her, she might be silenced.

Never gamble with the conscience of a major villain.

Life only comes once.

Thinking of this, she got up, planning to leave.

But then someone covered her mouth, and she smelled a familiar dizzying scent.

The previous owner seemed to have often smelled it.

She turned her head and saw Lu Yuan.

Yan Hengyin had a slight smile on his face.

"Were you looking for me?"

Pei Shu’er rolled her eyes. This Lu Yuan was really too self-indulgent.

Lu Yuan put a finger to his lips and gently shushed her.

"Don’t speak, if Tang Zan discovers you here now, you might be killed."

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, and then she heard Lu Yuan speak.

"That’s one of Tang Zan’s men; even now, they’re still doing some unspeakable deeds for him. Do you think the War King has fallen, and the Prince Zhan Mansion has perished? For the Prince Zhan Mansion to perish, the War King must be beheaded, and Tang Zan must die too."

"They have long hidden their cards for making a comeback."

Even hearing these words, Pei Shu’er felt a sense of inevitability.

Tang Zan was just that kind of person.

Being such a sinister and paranoid person, how could he not return to the Imperial City for revenge?

How could he not hold onto his chips?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a super villain.

Seeing Pei Shu’er remain silent, her eyes quietly watching in Tang Zan’s direction.

A flowery scent wafted over to Yan Hengyin, and he couldn’t help but move closer to Pei Shu’er, his heartbeat unknowingly accelerating.

He thought that if he could hold Pei Shu’er in his arms and tell her he was the Third Prince, then whisper a few sweet nothings to her, she would be overjoyed.

She might immediately go and carry out his orders.

His hand hadn’t yet reached out when he saw Tang Zan suddenly turn around ahead, his eyes narrowed dangerously, full of killing intent.

Two sleeve arrows were shot in their direction.

And that man in black had already disappeared without a trace.

Pei Shu’er knew in her heart that the major villain had discovered them, so now, would she be silenced?

Yan Hengyin wrapped his arm around Pei Shu’er’s waist, holding her as they used Qinggong to leave the place.

Flying a bit high, Pei Shu’er instinctively held onto Yan Hengyin’s shoulders.

Yan Hengyin held Pei Shu’er tighter, his chest warm, wishing he could merge the woman in his arms into his own body.

She was indeed very enchanting.

Pei Shu’er hurriedly said, "Put me down."

She saw Tang Zan looking up at them, initially stunned, then his eyes brewing with a storm.

His voice low and filled with overwhelming anger.

"Pei Shu’er, you really are something."

It was so late, and she was actually having a rendezvous with this fake Lu Yuan!

Pei Shu’er thought to herself, it’s over, Tang Zan might just kill her.

The flimsy camaraderie she had painstakingly built with Tang Zan was probably going to collapse at this moment.

Yan Hengyin held her tightly, his voice as charming as a spring bubbling by her ear.

"Pei Shu’er, if you’re not planning to kill him, how about I take you back to the Capital? I... the Third Prince would be delighted."

He couldn’t reveal his identity as the Third Prince yet, of course, believing Pei Shu’er wouldn’t betray him, but if this scatterbrained woman let slip, it would be troublesome.

Pei Shu’er inexplicably glanced at Yan Hengyin, but her heart was full of cynical laughter.

Now that she was doing so well here, she’d have to be crazy to go to the unfamiliar Capital and become a lamb to the slaughter.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"No need, since I’m married to Tang Zan, I am Tang Zan’s wife. Where he goes, I go."
