283 Jealous?
Pei Qian wanted to ask Lu Ze how he knew since there were so few books, but after glancing at Lu Ze, he refrained from asking the question.
For some reason, Lu Ze gave him a strange feeling at the moment.
He was like a victim in a swamp, waiting for the despair of being swallowed up at the last moment. Pei Qian was daunted by this.
Therefore, Pei Qian didn’t say anything else in the end. He turned around and left silently.
!!
When Lin Suisui woke up for breakfast, she heard Bai Guo’s report that Lu Ze was waiting for her in the front yard.
After a simple meal, she rushed to the front yard with Bai Guo. Su Qi bowed to her, but he didn’t take her to the study. Instead, he turned the corner and went to the side courtyard. Then, he stopped at the door of the main room and nodded as he gestured for her to enter.
Although Lin Suisui didn’t know why she was there, she still walked in through the curtain raised by Bai Guo. After she walked around the large screen at the door and entered, at a glance, she saw the wooden box she had been longing for yesterday!
“I don’t object to you wanting to understand more about it, but I have to stay by your side.” Lu Ze walked out from the side and reached out to stop Lin Suisui, who was about to walk towards the table. He instructed Lin Suisui seriously, “If you’re disobedient, I won’t agree to you touching these dangerous things in the future!”
“Yes, yes.” Lin Suisui’s eyes lit up, as if she was a kitten that wanted to pounce on fish but had the back of its neck pinched by its master. She was impatient but helpless and could only obey the intentions of the person behind her for the time being.
Lu Ze had prepared a lot.
Not only did he get her a full set of forensic tools, but he also prepared a mask to cover her mouth and nose, as well as leather gloves.
Lin Suisui didn’t delay things. After she moved to the table and sat down, she opened the box and began to examine it carefully.
Compared to her actions yesterday, she was clearly more serious this time.
Lu Ze cooperated with her. The two of them didn’t leave the courtyard for the entire morning. It was only when Pei Qian came over that they were dragged out of the courtyard.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Ze stood at the door as he looked at Pei Qian unhappily. “Have you forgotten that today is the third day of the Lunar New Year?”
“It’s an urgent matter. If it wasn’t urgent, I wouldn’t have come over to disturb Your Highness!” Pei Qian smiled as he slowly walked up the steps to stand opposite Lu Ze.
“I don’t think you seem that anxious.” Wanting to send him out quickly, Lu Ze blocked Pei Qian’s prying gaze and said indifferently.
Pei Qian smiled apologetically as he explained, “No, no, no. I really have something urgent!” Pei Qian staggered from Lu Ze’s push, but as he took a step to the side, he moved closer to the roof. While Lu Ze wasn’t paying attention, he turned around and rushed into the room. “I haven’t even drunk any water this morning. At least let me… bleh…”
With an impassive expression, Lu Ze looked at Pei Qian, who had rushed out of the room with his mouth covered and was vomiting profusely. A hint of schadenfreude flashed across his eyes. “Tsk, you’ve been in charge of the Imperial City Division for so many years, but you can’t even tolerate this?”
“You, you guys are…” Pei Qian turned around and gritted his teeth as he said to Lu Ze, “Su Qi said that it was inconvenient to disturb you guys, so this was what you guys have been doing inside?!”
Pei Qian couldn’t do anything to Lu Ze, but now, he wanted to cut Su Qi into pieces and drag him out to feed the dogs!
He said that Lu Ze and Lin Suisui were alone in the room…
His words made people’s imaginations run wild. He was wondering what those two were doing, but who would have thought…
This couple was actually dissecting that… puke!
“What’s wrong with what we’re doing?” When Lin Suisui walked out and happened to hear Pei Qian’s complaint, she couldn’t help but frown slightly and say unhappily, “We’re studying that bee Gu inside. Mr. Pei, what are you thinking?!”
“Have you forgotten that today is the third day of the Lunar New Year?!” As Pei Qian looked at the couple in front of him, he immediately felt helpless.
“So what?” Lu Ze didn’t intend to continue arguing with Pei Qian about this matter. He turned around and unfurled the cloak on his arm to put it on Lin Suisui. Then, he asked Pei Qian, “Mr. Pei, you didn’t come here today just to criticize us, right?”
“Something happened to the fourth prince’s convoy.” Pei Qian finally calmed down. Then, he turned around and said to Lu Ze, “The fourth prince was kidnapped.”
“What?” Before Lu Ze could speak, Lin Suisui, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but cry out. The fourth prince had been kidnapped, but Pei Qian was still so calm…
“If he was kidnapped, so be it. Why do you care so much?” Lu Ze turned around and looked at Lin Suisui gloomily.
“I don’t care, but I’m just surprised that Mr. Pei doesn’t seem worried at all!”
Lin Suisui realized that she had lost her composure and quickly explained to Lu Ze. However, not only did this explanation not please Lu Ze, but it also made him look even more gloomy and he said sarcastically, “Oh really? It’s not a big deal? Then why are you so worried?
You’re worried sick, but perhaps Mr. Pei already has everything under control! He might just be here to tell us.
Even his cousin isn’t as flustered as you, Crown Princess. Crown Princess, you seem very concerned about your brother-in-law.”
“Alright, alright, I was wrong!” As Lin Suisui watched Pei Qian tiptoe out of the courtyard, she scolded Pei Qian again and again while she began to think of a way to appease Lu Ze.
She reached out and tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve as she coaxed him, “I actually don’t care about him. I’m just worried about you.
If something really happens to the fourth prince in the north, things will be very troublesome! When the time comes, the Imperial Court will arrange for people to come over and cause trouble. What if it affects you?
Although you didn’t tell me some things, I also know that you came to the north with a plan!
Wouldn’t it be a pity if something happened to him and your plan was affected?”
“Don’t worry. I arranged for someone to kidnap the fourth prince.” When Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui’s words, his expression improved a little and he told her the truth.
