Early the next morning, Pei Shen woke up on time and went to court. After he left, Wen Yu, who had been sound asleep, instantly popped out of the quilt. Her eyes were extremely clear. There was not the slightest sign of sleepiness on her face.
She quickly changed her clothes, neatly groomed herself, and then headed for the study.
This study originally belonged to Pei Qing. Pei Shen's study was in another courtyard.
Now, in order to spend more time with her, Pei Shen had specially moved to her courtyard and occupied Pei Qing's study.
[What is Sister going to the study for? Isn't Little Dog Pei in court?]
Wen Yu glanced at the bullet - screen text. Although currently only she seemed to be able to see these things, just in case, she took off her outer robe.
Since these strange texts first appeared, she had tried many ways to make them disappear.
After all, although these texts could occasionally provide her with some useful information, being constantly watched in her life made her shiver.
After many attempts, she found that as long as it detected her undressing, these bullet - screens would display a word called "blackout", which should mean they couldn't see.
When she went back to the Wen family to contact Ji Yundan before, she used this method to avoid the surveillance of the bullet - screens.
[Why is it blacking out again for no reason? None of the male leads are here. Why black out? Is the system crashing?]
[It also blacked out once for no reason yesterday. It really seems to be crashing. Let's try to report it.]
[Family, don't bother. I've already reported it. The system feedback is that the recognition is correct.]
[Ah? Then why is it blacking out?]
[Could it be that Sister is doing some handicrafts? Really? I remember Sister's early persona was a reserved young lady. She would blush from her neck down just holding hands in front of people.]
[Maybe she's secretly passionate? After all, it's hard for someone who can accept multiple male leads to be truly reserved, right?]
[That does make sense. Suddenly I'm a bit uninterested. What should I do? I want to see the spotless innocent girl fall into the mire. Running to the study to do handicrafts, she's not so innocent anymore...]
[Hey, let me guess why she deliberately ran to the study. Could it be to relive yesterday's study play with Little Dog Pei?]
The bullet - screens flew by one by one. Wen Yu didn't even have time to look at them. Her fingers quickly felt around in the study. She wanted to take out each book and carefully read its contents, for fear of missing the slightest clue.
But after a great deal of effort, she ended up finding nothing.
[Sister seems to be immersed in her own world. Little Dog Pei is about to return from court.]
[I have a good idea!]
[I know what you mean, Big Yellow Girl. Is it about being caught in the act of doing handicrafts? That's so real - life.]
After seeing the news that Pei Shen was about to return from court, Wen Yu reluctantly put all the books back in place, then put on her outer robe, and then walked out of the study.
Originally, she planned to go back to the Wen family today, but because of the matter of the Third Prince, she had to put it on hold. So she had to change her plan and come to look for the ledger. Now that she had found nothing, she felt a bit stifled.
Wen Yu frowned, constantly thinking about the ledger and the matter of the restaurant.
[Is she unhappy because she found that handicrafts are not as good as the male leads?]
[It's okay. The Third Prince will soon satisfy Sister!]
In the study just now, Wen Yu had been too preoccupied to look at these bullet - screens. Now when she saw them, she almost vomited from disgust.
She took a deep breath to control her trembling anger.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's just some misunderstandings. These texts are good at distorting the truth. She won't be angry.
Wen Yu comforted herself in her heart.
She had more important things to do now. A few filthy words couldn't really hurt her.
When her grand plan succeeded and she avenged herself, everything would be okay.
It didn't matter that these bullet - screens were so lively now. When the male leads they were so eager for died at her hands, it would be her turn to laugh.
After Pei Shen returned from court, he rushed back to Wen Yu's courtyard without stopping, holding the newly - bought osmanthus cakes in his hand.
"Have some cakes to fill your stomach. You hardly eat anything when you attend banquets outside." He opened the oil - paper bag and handed it to Wen Yu. "Did you go to the study today?"
This time, Wen Yu didn't refuse.
She was going to the Third Prince's mansion later. There would surely be a tough battle. As the bullet - screens said, she was just a delicate young lady without the strength to even bind a chicken. If it came to a fight, she had no chance of winning. So she could only outwit them.
In the eyes of these people, the only thing she could use as a bargaining chip now was her body.
"I found a hairpin missing this morning. I'm afraid I dropped it in the study, so I went to look for it." Wen Yu said as she took a bite of the osmanthus cake.
The sweet and greasy taste instantly spread in her mouth. It was the only sweetness she had felt in a while.
"I see. Did you find it?" Pei Shen's expression remained normal. He didn't even doubt Wen Yu's words.
After all, in everyone's eyes, she was just a beautiful ornament.
Moreover, the things Pei Shen didn't want her to find wouldn't be placed where she could easily reach them.
As for the ledger left by Pei Qing, even Pei Shen couldn't find it. He didn't think Wen Yu could get it, let alone that he didn't think Wen Yu could even know about this matter.
"I found it." Wen Yu took small bites of the osmanthus cake, eating gracefully and quietly.
Pei Shen's throat tightened, but thinking that they were going to the Third Prince's mansion later, he had to suppress his charming thoughts. "After you finish the osmanthus cakes, change into the clothes I brought you."
[Sister: Breathing Pei Shen: Skilled]
[Looking for hairpins? Sister is lying through her teeth. If Little Dog Pei goes to the study now, he might still smell something unusual.]
[Am I the only one who is interested in what kind of clothes Pei Shen gave? I can't find the original text resources. Does anyone want to spoil it?]
[Speaking of clothes, hehe]
Amid the strange laughter on the bullet - screens, Wen Yu frowned and picked up the clothes Pei Shen had given her.
"The workmanship is too rough." Wen Yu frowned and said with a hint of disgust in her tone.
The clothes looked nice. There were large patches of lotus - pattern embroidery, and the stitches were fine. The color was sky - blue, her favorite. But precisely at the seams of the fabric, the stitching was not only crooked but also extremely loose.
Such clothes were very easy to break. I'm afraid that if someone stepped on the hem of the skirt, the whole skirt would fall apart into pieces of fabric.
There would be a lot of people at the birthday banquet. How could she wear such clothes in public?
"Really? Just make do with it. I'll ask someone to be more careful next time. I designed these clothes for Sister - in - law myself." Pei Shen's expression remained unchanged. He casually glanced at the clothes and then urged Wen Yu to change quickly.
[Designed personally~ It's just to let Sister have her skirt stepped on and damaged, so she has to change clothes. As a result, the servants in the mansion tell her that there are only dancers' clothes.]
[Then Sister has no choice but to change into them. But unfortunately, the dancers' clothes don't fit. When worn on Sister, it's just deliberately eye - catching. Sister, this heart - arsonist.]
[Don't worry. The fire Sister started, Sister will put out herself!]
