Chapter 340: Chapter 237 Discovered_1
In the cold moonlight, Chen Wanrong, dressed in a black long dress, sat in the pavilion. Even in the plain black garb, she radiated an otherworldly luminosity, like that of a fairy.
The moonlight shone upon her, accentuating her icy demeanor, and the temperature around her seemed to drop noticeably; a layer of frost appeared to coat the benches and stone table within the pavilion.
Chen Wanrong seldom wore black, but she had donned this particular dark outfit for her clandestine visit to the North Prince Mansion.
Her white garments were far too conspicuous, so she had someone tailor a black one especially for this occasion.
The worm of the Love Worm was close to hatching. Chen Wanrong decided to try bewitching Lu Chen in advance. Since Lu Chen had already ingested the powder of the Male Paired-wing Butterfly, his affection for her should have deepened.
If she could successfully infect Lu Chen with the Love Worm ahead of time, nothing would be better. If his feelings for her had not yet reached the necessary intensity for the influence of the Love Worm, allowing the worm to get accustomed to Lu Chen’s scent now would also come at no loss.
As the moon reached the center of the sky, Chen Wanrong rose and headed towards where Lu Chen might be.
She had long since had Lin Wanyun scout the situation; recently, Lu Chen had been dealing with official matters in his study every night until late before going to sleep, so Chen Wanrong decided to check the study first.
Meanwhile.
Xiao Huan, the maid guarding the study, not wanting to disturb Lu Chen while keeping watch for him, was walking towards the courtyard entrance.
Maid Xiao Huan had noticed that Lu Chen’s affair with Lin Wanyun was a secret to almost everyone in the inner court, and since they always sneaked around in the study, she believed that Lu Chen did not intend to let more people know about it.
As one of Lu Chen’s personal maids, she naturally needed to keep his secret and keep watch for him.
However, just as Xiao Huan approached the entrance of the courtyard, darkness suddenly overwhelmed her vision. Her consciousness vanished in an instant, and she fainted.
After knocking out Xiao Huan, Chen Wanrong placed her against the wall inside the courtyard. She then activated the Cultivation Technique her master had taught her to conceal her presence, and in the next moment, it was as if she had merged into the courtyard itself.
Chen Wanrong then arrived at the study window and heard a woman’s voice inside. Her brows lifted slightly.
If someone else was in the study, it would not be so easy to work her magic on Lu Chen.
Although it seemed unlikely to apply the Love Worm tonight, she could still let the worm she was cultivating become familiar with Lu Chen’s scent. She could plan to lure Lu Chen to her own quarters in a few days and then use the Love Worm on him.
With that thought, Chen Wanrong raised her delicate hand and gently pricked a small hole in the papered window of the study, then peered inside with one eye.
What she saw inside the study caused her to freeze, her mind went blank, and a look of astonishment appeared on her normally expressionless face.
She had never imagined that Lin Wanyun would be inside the study, and moreover, that she had formed such a relationship with Lu Chen.
How could this be…
The cool composure on Chen Wanrong’s face turned ugly; she could not accept what she had seen.
At this moment, the voices of two people talking came from inside the study.
“Wanyun, how could you become so shameless?”
“Do you really want to bear my child that much?”
“If Miss Chen saw you like this, I wonder what she would think. Should we just tell her about our relationship sooner?”
Hearing Lu Chen’s ridicule, Lin Wanyun, with a dazed look in her eyes, protested:
“Don’t… Please, no…”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Wanrong’s face darkened, the air around her felt as if it dropped by a dozen degrees, and frost began to form on the window.
Chen Wanrong felt betrayed at this moment. The always dignified and elegant Lin Wanyun had changed into the person before her. She had never seen Lin Wanyun show such demeanor. She even doubted whether the woman in the room was really Lin Wanyun or some bitch in disguise.
Chen Wanrong was unaware that Lu Chen had already reached the Grandmaster Realm. Although she had learned the technique of concealing her presence from her master, the perceptiveness of a Grandmaster far exceeded that of an average martial artist.
The moment Chen Wanrong arrived in the courtyard of the study, Lu Chen had sensed her presence, but he did not care about her arrival. Instead, her presence stirred a beast within him, making him more ferocious.
Unlike Lu Chen, Lin Wanyun had no idea that Chen Wanrong had come. Her mind was blank, and she had long forgotten even her own family name.
Not knowing for how long, Chen Wanrong eventually left the study.
After returning to her own quarters, she couldn’t calm down. The scenes from the study kept replaying in her mind. She simply couldn’t make sense of why Lin Wanyun would betray her, become Lu Chen’s woman, and engage in such indecent acts with him in the study.
When Chen Nation had been destroyed, she had escaped the imperial city. If not for running into Lin Wanyun, she might well have died.
It was Lin Wanyun who took her to Mysterious Moon Palace and treated her like her own daughter. Her growth to this day, her current status, were all inseparable from Lin Wanyun.
