Chapter 182 Participated in the Rebellion
Outside the house, Shen Wanwan listened to the entire conversation between the two and her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out.
After the conversation in the room stopped, she turned around and left Jinhongyuan quietly.
Shen Wanwan ran all the way back to her Wanning Garden. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she saw Ling Shuang in white clothes standing in front of her.
"Ling Shuang? What are you doing here?"
Shen Wanwan was already frightened, and when a living person suddenly appeared in front of her, her heart beat even faster.
If it weren't for the cover of night, one would have been able to see that her little face had turned frighteningly pale and her body was trembling violently.
Ling Shuang frowned, obviously noticing that "Miss Pei" was in a bad mood. She guessed that something must have happened just now that frightened her.
"Ms. Pei, you..."
Shen Wanwan pretended to be calm, "I'm fine. I was just taking a walk in the yard to digest my food. I'm going back to the house to rest now."
It was impossible to digest food at this hour, but apart from such a lame explanation, was she going to say that she was not sleeping in the middle of the night because she wanted to go to the toilet in the yard?
Ling Shuang wanted to say something, but saw that "Miss Pei" had turned around and strode back to her dormitory, so she didn't know what to say. However, her eyes were looking in the direction where Shen Wanwan came back.
If I remember correctly, Lord Pei's Jinhong Garden is in that direction.
Ling Shuang was a little annoyed. Her master had repeatedly warned her that if she found Miss Pei intending to approach Lord Pei, she must be stopped at all costs.
I was so stupid as to be sent away by her tonight. Fortunately, Miss Pei came back safely, otherwise the punishment I would have suffered would not be too light.
Miss Pei, who is usually calm, was so panicked. She must have seen something or something happened in Jinhong Garden.
This matter must be reported to the master as soon as possible, but not now. She must wait until dawn at least. She made up her mind to return to the palace immediately after dawn.
After Shen Wanwan returned to the dormitory, she closed all the doors and windows and immediately slipped into her personal space.
She was truly terrified and could only truly feel safe when she was in her own space.
Pei Wanwan had been waiting inside for a long time. Seeing her come in with a pale face, her heart skipped a beat. "Wanwan, why do you look so bad? Did things go wrong tonight?"
Shen Wanwan opened her arms towards Pei Wanwan, "Wanwan, come and hug me. I'm panicking and my legs are weak."
Just a little bit, she felt that she almost failed to leave Jinhongyuan alive!
As soon as she recognized the man's voice, she felt the blood in her body gradually coagulate. The scene of being stabbed was still vivid in her mind. The pain was so deep that she didn't even have the strength to breathe.
That person was the murderer!
She wanted to turn around and leave, but her legs were shaking so badly that she could hardly take a step forward. She could only hold on to the wall to keep herself steady. Besides, she really wanted to hear what they would say.
The further she went, the more frightened she became.
It was not until the conversation stopped and the room returned to darkness that she finally found herself again. Then she turned around and quickly left the Jinghong Banquet.
"Wanwan, your scumbag father was involved in treason!"
Pei Wanwan noticed that Shen Wanwan's body was trembling, and reached out to pat her back gently.
"I'm here, don't be afraid. Whether he's plotting treason or not has nothing to do with us. If something really happens, at worst, as you said, we can just take mother and the others and hide in the space. There's enough food and other things to eat for a long time."
After Shen Wanwan's emotions finally calmed down, she told him everything she had just seen and heard.
"Pei Chonglin is helping Prince Rui and his men raise private soldiers, and your scumbag father is also aware of this. If I'm not mistaken, the only hidden items in the Marquis's mansion are in the underground secret room of Jinhong Garden, and those items are likely weapons and armor."
Shen Wanwan's eyes were still slightly red. Who would have thought that Pei Bailiang was so cunning? There were heavy guards outside the study, but the thing was actually hidden in the unguarded Jinhong Garden.
If she impulsively knocked down the guards and entered the study tonight, the big snake hiding behind her would be alarmed.
She was standing outside the window at the time. She really wanted to poke open the window paper to see what was happening inside, but she knew that the man was very powerful, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Pei Wanwan was a little annoyed. "Wanwan, if I had known this would happen, I should have let me go tonight. Seeing you like this, I'm so heartbroken."
