Chapter 518.1: wildly

Pei Yaran was stunned for a moment before she responded with a snort. I didnt expect you to like Su Xi-er too; or should I say love? To think that you cant bear to kill her. What on earth is so good about that woman that is enough to make you go to such lengths?

Thats a lot of jealousy I sense. I simply cant bear to kill her because I want to let her live. Its the same as how I cant bear to kill you; otherwise, I wouldnt have come to save you. s.h.i.+ Mos voice was low and hoa.r.s.e. He then turned and walked to the door. Clean things up by yourself; dont let anyone find out.

By the time he had finished speaking, he had already vanished from the room.

Watching the tightly shut door in a daze, Pei Yaran began to recall what had happened tonight.

Sounding me out, poisoning me, and almost making me become a real fool After that, s.h.i.+ Mo came to save me or should I say, to make use of me?

He said that he could not bear to kill Su Xi-er, just like how he cant bear to kill me. After going through so many things, I have finally come to an understanding. Im just a chess piece in s.h.i.+ Mos eyes, and Su Xi-er is no different.

Of course he cant bear to kill a valuable p.a.w.n.

After further contemplation, a vicious look flickered in Pei Yarans eyes as she realised that s.h.i.+ Mos true target was Pei Qianhao.

Making Pei Qianhaos life worse than death doesnt sound like a bad idea!

Pei Yaran got down from bed and went to the kitchen to retrieve a broom and dustpan, sweeping everything away, returning everything once she was done.

Just as she was about to leave her room, she heard Ruo Yuans voice. Niu Niu, why are you running out in the middle of the night?

The corners of Pei Yarans mouth curled into a sinister smile.

From now on, I am going to act like a real fool.

Foolishly laughing, Pei Yaran stood up and pretended to play with her own hair, having decided to make her performance even more believable than before.

Seeing her deranged manner, Ruo Yuan couldnt help but shake her head and go to stop her. Your grandfather will be bringing you back tomorrow. Come with me; properly stay in your room.

Grandfather? Who are you? Where am I? Let go of me! Boo hoo Pei Yaran kept struggling as tears poured down her face.

Looks like shes really foolish now. I shall report this to the Princess Consort tomorrow.

Let go of me! You! Pei Yaran continued to yell, but Ruo Yuan simply dragged her back to her room.

Ruo Yuan sniffed the air. Why is there a sour smell? Did you vomit?

Pei Yarans eyes widened before she purposely giggled. I just went to drink cold water and vomited in the room. It smells nice right?

Youre not allowed to do this! Be obedient and sleep! Ruo Yuan chided.

The medicine is too effective; she has become this foolish.

After giving her a lecture, Ruo Yuan walked out of the room, planning to report her findings to Su Xi-er first thing tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Imperial Physician Zhao had arrived at the Prince Hao Residence after receiving Prince Haos summons. He was in the process of taking Su Xi-ers pulse in the main room.

Having heard Pei Qianhao say that he was preparing to wash up, Su Xi-er hadnt expected Imperial Physician Zhao to show up.

However, she suddenly didnt want Imperial Physician Zhao to diagnose her. You should go back; my body is very well.

Imperial Physician Zhao immediately bowed. Princess Consort, some of the physicians from the common folk are tooting their own horns, so you dont have to take it to heart. Why dont you let this humble subject help you feel your pulse and check what the situation is?
