The night passed quickly, and Shi Chunfen and Chu Run got ready and boarded the carriage to the prefect's mansion together.
During these three days, Ren Shu seemed not to have appeared in front of them, but they knew very clearly that the other party must have sent countless pairs of eyes to stare at them closely, so they were very careful in every move they made.
The prefect's mansion arrived quickly, and the guard guarding the door let them in without even checking their invitations.
Previously, Chunfen had followed Chu Ling to the governor's mansion in Liuzhou. At that time, the feeling was that it was solemn and majestic, but the mansion, which was not luxurious, was full of a sense of oppression. However, Ren Shu's mansion was exactly the opposite. His governor's mansion was
Surrounded by rock gardens, everything is filled with the atmosphere of freedom. As soon as people walk in, their footsteps will become cheerful unconsciously. Even if the spring equinox and Chu Run are full of thoughts, in such an environment, they will not consciously
Relaxed.
Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, the two people quickly arrived in front of Ren Shu, who was sitting in the lobby waiting for them. There were no servants around, which was somewhat unexpected.
"Why don't you quickly pay your respects to the prefect?" the soldier who led them scolded, with a fierce look on his face.
Shi Chunfen and Chu Run glared at him and stood still.
Ren Shu chuckled lightly and played with the folding fan in his hand carelessly, "It doesn't matter, just step back first."
The officer and soldier responded and quickly turned around and left.
After he left, even the last of Ren Shu's subordinates was gone. Shi Chunfen and Chu Run looked at each other, and they both saw hope in each other's pupils.
"Sir Ren." Shi Chunquin took a few steps forward and saluted him proactively, "May I ask where my cousin is?"
Seeing that she was straight to the point as soon as she arrived, Ren Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "Don't be anxious yet. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?"
As he spoke, he closed the folding fan and pointed to the table next to him. It was already filled with delicacies, and it was obvious that the other party had already prepared it.
Shi Chunfen and Chu Run were not polite, and directly followed his request and sat down at the table generously. Anyway, their purpose was to make Ren Shu relax his vigilance. It was best to sit next to them and eat with them, so that they
There is a high chance that he could be poisoned.
After Shi Chunquin sat down, he took the initiative to ask the other party: "Master Ren, won't you come over?"
Seeing that she changed her attitude from three days ago and became much more polite, Ren Shu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can eat first."
Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Shi Chun Equinox didn't force it, but he was too eager to do it, which would easily expose their problems.
She picked up her chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the table. What surprised her was that since she had been in Shuzhou for so long, most of the dishes from inns to restaurants were on the spicy side, and even ordinary stir-fries were indispensable.
Let's put down the chili. On the contrary, half of the dishes prepared by the prefect's mansion today have no chili at all. Apparently, Ren Shu specially ordered the kitchen to take care of their taste. Such a careful man would really join Chu Shun and try every means to dispose of her.
To die?
Shi Chunquin suddenly felt uncertain in his heart.
While she was in a daze, Chu Run on the side had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was Chu Shun's son, so naturally he was not afraid of what tricks Ren Shu would play with the food.
What's more, their meat is already on the chopping block, so Ren Shu will poison them when he has nothing to do.
Chu Run took a few bites, but when he saw that there was no movement at the Spring Equinox, he took the initiative and said, "Why don't you eat?"
Shi Chunfen came back to his senses and smiled, "With food but no wine, it's not enough fun."
After saying that, she looked at Ren Shu and said bluntly: "Is Mr. Ren used to not preparing wine when entertaining guests?"
Hearing this, Ren Shu laughed, tapped the folding fan in his hand on the small table next to him, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm not so stingy that I can't even afford a glass of wine." As he said that, he lightly said
I clapped my hands lightly, and soon there was movement in the room.
Shi Chunfen and Chu Run followed his gaze and saw two women walking out of the back room. One was dressed in fine clothes and was obviously the master. The other was holding a tray with wine glasses and jugs on it. When they saw clearly
The faces and expressions of the two women instantly became solemn.
"Usagi?" Shi Chunquin stood up, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
Chu Run on the side unconsciously grabbed the table and scratched a few scratches under the table with his nails.
Yu Atu glanced at them lightly, her eyes showing no emotion or anger, but in just a moment, she turned her eyes and saluted Ren Shu, "Sir."
"Yeah." Ren Shu smiled slightly, raised his chin towards Shi Chunfen and Chu Run, and said proudly: "Go and pour them a drink."
Before Yu Atu could answer, he heard a "pop" from Shichun Equinox, who slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "Ren, don't go too far!"
He even asked Yu Atu to pour them wine. Isn't this a clear slap in their faces?
Chu Run was much calmer, sitting there with an indifferent expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing Chu Run's attitude, Yu Atu's face darkened and he said, "It's okay, it's just pouring wine, you two don't need to worry about it."
Hearing her distant words, Shichun Equinox became anxious, "Usagi, are you blaming us for abandoning you that night?"
Mentioning this, Yu Atu's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curved in a nonchalant arc, "Don't talk about the past, anyway, I am now Lord Ren's person."
Hearing the last sentence, Shi Chunfen could no longer remain calm, "No, you are lying. You clearly said before..."
"Before, it was before..." Yu Atu interrupted him, "Just because he didn't touch me before, doesn't mean he hasn't touched me in the past three days. If you keep me with him, doesn't it mean that he will touch me?
Is it possible? What kind of justice are you pretending to do here now?!"
When these words came out, Shi Chunfen slumped down. She was still late after all, which directly made Yu Atu hate them.
After hearing their conversation, Chu Run, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "You don't have to blame your cousin. I ordered someone to take her away by force that day, and I was the one who decided to leave you alone. If you are
Whatever harm happened, it’s all my fault.”
"Do you think I won't blame you?!" Yu Atu suddenly became excited, and his voice unconsciously raised, "I never thought you would be so cowardly that you would give away your wife to save your life!" At this point!
, she suddenly paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe it's not to save your life, but to save the dirty thoughts you have been hiding in your heart!"
Chu Run frowned, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at her with a warning look on his face.
