Chapter 1328: Chapter 1236: The Whereabouts of Su Ke
Su Ke clearly didn’t believe her.
"Oh, so you’re saying Miss Lei, you were wronged!"
He had had enough of this spoiled young lady’s constant pestering and had no idea where the sensible and understanding Lei Yu had gone off to!
Her recent changes had been dramatic and her behavior was becoming increasingly unacceptable.
Even if Lei Yu couldn’t hear the criticism in his heart, she could tell from the fierce look on his face. Especially when she saw the mocking glint in the eyes of Miss Hanmei standing to the side, her annoyance grew even deeper.
"What this young lady has said is the truth, we really did come here by accident. Whether you believe it or not is up to you!"
Lei Yu couldn’t help but shout out in anger.
Only then did she raise her head and glance at the few people present. She now realized that aside from Su Ke and this Miss Hanmei, there were also two middle-aged men dressed in official garb. They must be the local Parent Officials.
The two Parent Officials seemed a bit embarrassed and quickly stood up upon seeing the situation, "Since Lord Su has other matters, we will head back to the government office first. If there is anything Lord Su needs us to do, feel free to order us." Saying this, the two were ready to leave.
"Wait! I will be going from Luoshan Village to Deicide Mountain tomorrow, and there are some matters I need to instruct you on."
Su Ke instead raised his hand to stop the two gentlemen from leaving, then turned back and erupted at Lei Yu!
"You call yourself a pupil of our mentor, having studied under his guidance for so many years. Good qualities have not been learned, and all you’ve picked up are these base and useless tactics. Do you have no shame?"
The relationship between Su Ke and Lei Yu had experienced countless changes as they had journeyed together through "storms" and adversity.
He was so fed up with Lei Yu’s relentlessness that he wished he could dismiss her immediately.
His words immediately enraged Lei Yu, who no longer cared about making a good first impression on him, and she lashed out.
"I use base tactics? Whoever has resorted to such tactics knows themselves."
Staring at the provocative Miss Hanmei in front of her, as if out of spite, Lei Yu snapped back.
"Even if I am base, I am still a chaste and unwed young lady. Compared to certain women so filthy that their true colors cannot be seen, do you think wearing white makes her pure? Hah!"
Having said that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
That was a truly venomous remark.
Su Ke immediately turned pale with anger!
And Miss Hanmei looked as if she was about to weep, with tears starting to gather in her eyes.
Lei Yu naturally didn’t see what was happening behind her. The moment she turned around, she saw the shopkeeper personally holding a tray with jewelry, covered with a red silk cloth, being escorted upstairs by a departing guard.
Lei Yu was stunned, fixating on the tray in the shopkeeper’s hands, unable to move for a long time.
Just at that moment, Miss Hanmei spoke.
Her voice was coquettish, giggling softly, "Lord Su, the shopkeeper has brought everything up. Look, do you want me to check them for you instead..."
Unable to restrain herself, Lei Yu turned back, meeting Miss Hanmei’s provocative eyes.
With gritted teeth, she turned and quickly descended the stairs.
"Young lady, young lady! Lord Su you..." the chubby maidservant Ling Ling still wanted to say something, but seeing her own young lady had already gone down, she hesitated for a moment, then followed in Lei Yu’s wake...
"At that time, I was blinded by anger, and didn’t take a close look at the items on the tray. Presumably, they must have been some trinkets and jewelry purchased by Brother Su."
Lei Yu hesitated and stammered for quite a while before finally putting a full stop to the words she had spoken.
Su Pan’er had been silently listening throughout and did not interrupt her.
Could Ke’er actually be taking a courtesan around and even lead her to the Silver Tower to buy jewelry? Su Pan’er couldn’t believe it!
Even if it were true, Ke’er must have had his urgent reasons!
Considering this, she finally raised her head to look at Lei Yu.
"Do you mean to say that Ke’er went to the Ning Family? If he really did go there, how could he... disappear..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Pan’er’s own face changed color.
The Ning Family, the Ning Family, it was always about the Ning Family!
Lately she had heard a lot about the Ning Family, but no news had been as startling as this!
If Ke’er had truly gone to the Ning Family and then vanished, then...
As these thoughts raced through her mind, her eyes darkened; however, in just a moment, her face regained its composure.
"Thank you, Miss Lei, for informing me of these details. Nonetheless, as it’s getting late, and it’d be difficult to walk in the dark, you should not delay any longer and leave as soon as you can."
Although Su Pan’er had only interacted with Miss Lei for two hours, she found it not too difficult to discern she was a spoiled young lady.
Relying on her little bit of cunning, she believed that everyone should revolve around her as if she were the sun itself.
However, as the saying goes, "nine out of ten horses are not perfect." A minor flaw is not a big deal, and if Ke’er really liked her, she wouldn’t resort to forcibly separating them. The worst-case scenario would be to summon her less frequently to the palace in the future.
With that thought, Su Pan’er felt much better.
But Lei Yu’s mood plummeted to rock bottom.
This was the hometown of His Majesty and the Empress, and as night approached, she had assumed that even if the Empress did not offer her lodging, at the very least she would be invited for a meal. Who could have predicted this outcome?
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she rose to bid farewell to the Empress.
After the two had departed in the same carriage they had arrived in, the plump maidservant Ling Ling could no longer hold back the frustration bubbling inside her and complained, "The Empress is too... She’s unexpectedly cutting us loose! Young Lady, you just relayed the message about Lord Su to her, yet in the blink of an eye, she’s hurrying you away. Your servant... Your servant feels... greatly discontent!"
As she spoke, Ling Ling pouted.
"Silence!"
Lei Yu had her own thoughts but didn’t dare to show them outwardly.
Seeing Ling Ling complaining, she couldn’t help but sternly tap her on the forehead, "How dare you gossip about the Empress behind her back? How many heads do you have? Huh! If you keep this up, I won’t be able to protect you. You won’t need to attend to me anymore; just go back to where you came from!"
"Young Lady, please no!"
Ling Ling quickly squeezed up to Lei Yu, her plump body twisting and turning, her face seeking favor.
"Young Lady, you can’t abandon your servant! Your servant has been serving you since I was very young. Aside from you, Young Lady, your servant has no other family. Young Lady, Young Lady... Young Lady..." While she spoke, she gently nudged Lei Yu with her chubby hands.
Lei Yu was silent the entire time.
Seeing Ling Ling panic, Lei Yu finally spoke at a leisurely pace, "Good to know you recognize your mistake. Let’s see if you dare to speak recklessly again in the future!"
Ling Ling knew her Young Lady’s temperament well; seeing that she was willing to engage with her, she realized the matter was over.
She immediately returned to her seat across the carriage, beaming with joy, "Your servant won’t dare again. However, Young Lady, do you think the Empress will really go to the Ning Family to look for Brother Su? After all, whether or not Brother Su went there is just your conjecture!"
