Chapter 1058: Chapter 1063: Someone Comes at Midnight
Two days later, A Mei found Lu Kejun at the inn.
"Miss, I have found out everything. Young Master Bai did indeed like Mrs. Tan. At that time, a jealous cousin made things difficult for Mrs. Tan. The matter was so well-known it was practically public. Miss, do you want me to capture him?"
A Mei stole a glance at her own mistress.
At that moment, a trace of a smile played on Lu Kejun’s lips, and A Mei couldn’t help but feel nervous for Young Master Luo.
Every time her mistress wore such an expression, it meant someone was about to be unfortunate.
Lu Kejun tapped her fingers on the tabletop, "Continue your undercover work at the Bai Mansion and find a way for me to meet Luo Qingfeng. You can ignore the rest."
Damn Luo Qingfeng for taking advantage of her sympathy; she would not be polite anymore.
"The Bai Mansion is strictly managed, Miss. If you want to get in, it can only be done at midnight. I will meet you at the back door then."
A Mei pondered before laying out her plan.
However, the thought of her mistress sneaking into the Bai Mansion at midnight didn’t seem proper. If the master ever found out, A Mei would be the one in trouble again.
But the Miss was her master, and she could not defy her.
Lu Kejun nodded, "Very well, arrange it for tonight."
"Miss... Isn’t this too soon?"
"Of course, it needs to be quick. I should seek out Luo Qingfeng while he thinks I believe his lies. If we wait for him to become alert, who knows where he might run off to next!"
Lu Kejun thought about the roads she had followed Luo Qingfeng down and wanted to commit murder.
She had nearly traversed half of the Daxing Dynasty!
Truly, the farthest she had ever walked in her life was while chasing down the paths Luo Qingfeng had taken.
A Mei saluted, "I will make the arrangements right away."
At midnight, Luo Qingfeng was sleeping soundly.
But suddenly, he felt someone sitting beside him, and he immediately opened his eyes.
"Miss Lu, you should leave quickly. If people find out, it could tarnish your reputation," Luo Qingfeng said anxiously.
Lu Kejun said with a mocking smile, "You’re concerned about my reputation now? I think you’re just afraid your man will misunderstand."
"Um... yes, my other half has a terrible temper. If he misunderstands, I’m not going to have a good life," Luo Qingfeng hurriedly agreed.
To preserve his future freedom, he could only besmirch Bai Yifan further.
After all, this kind of deception was second nature to him, without a hint of guilt.
Lu Kejun said indifferently, "Don’t be so nervous. Everyone says true love can withstand a test, and if it can’t even withstand a misunderstanding, isn’t that too fragile?"
Luo Qingfeng just felt a headache coming on. Who could tell him what to do?
How could he send away this persistent and crazy woman?
Lu Kejun didn’t care whether Luo Qingfeng had an answer and asked again, "Didn’t you say that you and Bai Yifan are in love with each other? Why aren’t you sharing a bed then?"
"The old lady is unwell; I didn’t want to upset her," Luo Qingfeng replied, his scalp tingling.
Judging by Lu Kejun’s expression, he had the unnerving feeling that she knew he was lying.
This woman had silently appeared in his room, which meant she could also quietly poison him.
If his intuition was correct, he was about to be very unlucky.
"Oh, is that so? But I just went to see Bai Yifan, and he told me he would rather go blind than like you. Could that also be to conceal your feelings?"
Lu Kejun raised an eyebrow.
Luo Qingfeng choked on his saliva. This woman was audacious, sneaking into Bai Yifan’s room in the middle of the night!
