Chapter 213 Nightmare
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Preceptor's residence, in Zhu Yao's bedroom.
"Ah! Don't kill me! No!..."
Zhu Yao sat up from the bed, covered in sweat, then huddled in the corner of the bed, clutching a thin blanket; she was clearly having a nightmare.
Hearing the noise, Zhu Ke, who was keeping watch outside, hurriedly went inside and lit the candles, instantly illuminating the room and making Zhu Yao feel a little more at ease!
Zhu Ke asked worriedly, "Clan leader, did you have another nightmare?"
That's right! It's again! Ever since her birthday banquet, Zhu Yao has been plagued by nightmares every day. In her dreams, those cold, familiar eyes that she had long forgotten suddenly become clear again, making her shiver with cold whenever she thinks of them...
Zhu Yao rubbed her temples and instructed Zhu Ke, "Go to the study and bring over all the letters we found earlier concerning the 'orphan of the Xue family of Jiangdong'!"
"Yes!" Although Zhu Ke was puzzled, he went to the study with great respect.
For some reason, Zhu Yao felt increasingly uneasy after her birthday banquet. She didn't know why, so she had to get the item in her hands before she could feel at ease!
As she had previously told Zhu Yu, since Zhu Yu refused to reveal the whereabouts of the item, capturing Xue Wen and his family was not a bad idea.
Zhu Ke returned very quickly.
Zhu Yao reached out and took the letter, and her expression began to twist as she read it.
What she told Zhu Yu earlier wasn't a lie; she had indeed found information about Xue Wen, but she had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't investigated it further, nor had she had time to send anyone to arrest Xue Wen...
Therefore, when she saw Xue Wen's daughter's name clearly, she trembled slightly all over!
Lin Shu! Lin 'Shu'!
Her name alone was enough to make her hateful! It also reminded her of that woman who was better than her in every way except for her face! And she was also the woman who had appeared in her dreams every night for the past few days!
Despite her ugly face, which is universally disliked, she awakens powerful superpowers, earns the worship of the people in the base, is sought after wherever she goes, and has an equally powerful fiancé.
And why should I have to depend on such an ugly woman, to please her, to please anyone, and even have to use my body to please others...
She was unwilling to accept this! So, she wanted to take everything away from her!
Who knew this woman was a complete madwoman, a monster. Even though she was on the verge of death, she managed to drag Li Han down to hell with her...
Whenever Zhu Yao thought of Lin Shu's bloodied and ruthless manner, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine!
"Snapped."
Zhu Yao slammed the paper in her hand onto the table, muttering with lingering fear, "Whether it's true or not, I must kill her!"
Afterwards, Zhu Yao summoned the Wu Clan's secret guards and arranged for them to infiltrate Fengming. They split into several groups, with the primary objective being to capture Xue Wen and kill Lin Shu!
She was unaware that Lin Shu was right under her nose!
……
Two days later.
Lin Shu swaggered from Wushuang Pavilion to the Regent's Palace with the betrothal gifts in hand.
Only then did everyone realize that the Peerless Pavilion Master was in love with the Regent's heir!
Those who were fortunate enough to attend the Imperial Preceptor's birthday banquet all had an "I see" expression on their faces. No wonder they felt there was something fishy going on between the two that day!
However, if this matter really comes to fruition, then the Regent's Palace will have reached a new level.
Imperial Prefecture.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yao, her face contorted with rage, smashed many things in the mansion, repeatedly calling Nangong Jin despicable.
"No wonder Nangong Jin came to my birthday banquet, it turns out he was trying to steal Wushuang Pavilion's thunder! You, Nangong Jin!"
"Clan leader, please calm down and take care of your health!" Seeing that the other party had vented his anger, Zhu Ke quickly stepped forward to help him up and serve him tea.
Zhu Yao looked in the direction of the Regent's Palace, took a few deep breaths, and continued, "Didn't Feng Xin want to cooperate with me? Send her a message: if she can break up this marriage, then I will agree!"
"Yes……"
……
Meanwhile, in the Regent's Palace, in the main hall for receiving guests.
After Lin Shu entered the mansion, she was led directly here.
Throughout the entire process, Nangong Jin's attitude was quite good, and although Lin Shu spoke coldly, her manners and etiquette were still quite good!
Not to mention that her abilities and status were comparable to his, and although she was asking to marry his own son, he still had to give her some face.
However, the longer they talked, the more Nangong Jin felt that the person in front of him seemed somewhat familiar, especially when those cold and beautiful eyes under the mask stared directly at him, making him feel even more as if he had seen them before!
Thinking this way, Nangong Jin asked, "Have we met before?"
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, raised her hand and took off the mask, revealing a familiar and handsome face!
Nangong Jin: "Lin Shu...!"
Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on! He had wondered why his son had suddenly fallen for someone else; it turned out it was Lin Shu after all!
"Junior Lin Shu greets the Regent of Nanli!" Lin Shu stood up and bowed.
Nangong Jin squinted at Lin Shu, suspecting that if he hadn't asked her earlier, she definitely wouldn't have revealed herself so quickly!
Nangong Jin felt his mind in turmoil the moment he saw Lin Shu. Countless possibilities of Lin Shu being here flashed through his mind, and he even suspected that she was deliberately getting close to his son.
Why are you in Nanli?
