"Sister." Bai Luo retreated to Shi Sheng's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you really have an invitation? Why don't you use mine? "
With so many people watching, it would be embarrassing if she couldn't produce an invitation.
"Mind your own business." The female lead's habit of meddling in other people's business was a common one.
Bai Luo lowered her gaze to hide the sadness in her eyes.
The people around them didn't move. They seemed to be waiting for Shi Sheng to see if she had an invitation.
She had a chance to show off. If she didn't, she would be letting them down.
Shi Sheng slowly took out an invitation and placed it on the table next to him.
He tapped on it with his finger to remind the person checking it. "Look carefully."
The person smiled and nodded. He opened the invitation and looked at it. Then, he took out the name list and saw Wu Zheng at the end.
"Miss Wu Zheng, please come in."
This proved that the invitation in her hand was real.
How was this possible?
Why would Mingyue Mountain Villa send her an invitation?
Everyone was confused. Liu Xu was even more confused.
This matter became a hot topic in the following days.
However, Mingyue Mountain Villa didn't give a clear explanation. Some people who were close to Mingyue Mountain found out.
Shi Sheng and Shen Xinghai knew each other.
Shen Xinghai was the younger brother of the current Alliance Master. He was also a popular candidate for the next Alliance Master.
Since when did these two people hook up?
It was a long story.
Shi Sheng met Shen Xinghai on the way to Mingyue Mountain Villa. Shen Xinghai was quite unlucky. He was drugged and lost all his martial arts.
Shi Sheng just wanted to find someone to test the poison she made. In the end, he bumped into Shen Xinghai, who was lying on the side of the road.
Shi Sheng saw that he was still breathing and carried him back to test the poison.
Shen Xinghai was tortured until he was on his last breath. Shi Sheng kindly found a doctor for him.
Don't ask why Shi Sheng was so kind.
It was probably because he was in a good mood.
In the end, Shen Xinghai thought that Shi Sheng had saved him.
No matter how Shi Sheng tried to explain herself, she'd only wanted to use him to test out the poison. She'd wanted to kill him, and he'd only survived because he was lucky. But Shen Xinghai refused to listen, insisting that Shi Sheng had saved him.
She heard that Shi Sheng was going to Mingyue Mountain Villa and even gave her an invitation.
The Shi Sheng couldn't do anything about this kind of self-hypnosis.
Shen Xinghai was never mentioned in the plot, so he probably had nothing to do with the male and female leads.
Shi Sheng stayed in the villa, but Shen Xinghai didn't seem to be there. Anyway, Shi Sheng didn't see him, but rumors about him and Shen Xinghai started to spread.
To sum it up in a few words:
They were having an affair.
Shi Sheng was speechless. Could anyone have an affair with her?
…
"Young Master Fu is really good to Miss Liu. Yesterday, Miss Liu only coughed a few times and Young Master Fu was so nervous that he asked us to call a doctor."
"Young Master Fu is also so handsome … I'm so lucky to be able to marry Young Master Fu. If Young Master Fu takes a fancy to me, I'm even willing to be a nun in my next life."
"In your dreams. Young Master Fu already has Miss Liu by his side. There's no place for anyone else."
Several servant maids walked past Bai Luo, their laughter and banter seemingly taking root in her ears, unable to be erased no matter what she did.
Bai Luo walked forward in a daze. Suddenly, she kicked an object.
She slowly looked down. It was an embroidered pouch. She didn't know who dropped it here.
Bai Luo picked it up. She wanted to bring it to the villa's steward, but after walking around in circles, she ended up back where she started.
She sat down beside the pond dejectedly.
"Little Sister Xiaoluo …"
Bai Luo looked up and saw a woman in a light yellow dress walking towards her with a smile on her face.
…
By the time Shi Sheng heard the news that Bai Luo had almost died in the water, it was already evening.
If one of the servant maids hadn't gone back to look for the pouch, Bai Luo would've probably drowned in the pond.
"… Miss Bai's fever hasn't subsided. The doctor said that if it doesn't subside soon, she'll be in danger." One of the servant maids serving Shi Sheng told him the latest news.
Apparently, this servant maids had been sent by Shen Xinghai to serve her.
Shi Sheng ate his porridge without a change in expression. "How did she fall in?"
"I don't know. No one saw … If Little Zi hadn't gone back to look for the embroidered pouch, she would've …" The servant maids didn't continue.
Shi Sheng put down his bowl. How could the favored female lead die so easily?
"Miss, aren't you eating?" the servant maids asked quietly when she saw that Shi Sheng only had one bowl of porridge. "Is the porridge not to your liking?"
The second young master had said that they had to serve this miss well. If anything happened, they couldn't bear the consequences.
"It's fine." Shi Sheng wiped his mouth and stood up. "The alliance head meeting will start tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, it will officially start tomorrow." The servant maids packed up with a frown. The food must've been to her liking. She would have the kitchen change the taste tomorrow.
After the servant maids finished packing, she left the room. On the way to the kitchen, she met a few other maids. They pulled her aside and asked her carefully.
"Is Miss Wu Zheng very hard to serve?"
"She has a bad reputation in the jianghu. Little Cai, you have to be careful."
Little Cai smiled. "Miss Wu Zheng has a good temper."
Ever since she entered to serve her, she had never seen her lose her temper. She could even chat with her occasionally. She was a very easy person to get along with. She didn't know why people said that she was vicious and merciless.
"Is that so?" The maids clearly didn't believe her.
Little Cai nodded. "I'm going to do something first. Let's chat again when I have time."
"Little Cai, be careful." The others were still worried.
When Little Cai returned to the room, Shi Sheng was already lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed. She didn't know if he was asleep or just resting.
Little Cai didn't dare disturb him and quietly left.
She really didn't think that this miss was as scary as people said.
The next day, Shi Sheng woke up very early. After breakfast, Little Cai took him to the arena.
There were three arenas in total. The competition would be held in the ring.
In this kind of competition, most people would conserve their energy and fight until the end.
Therefore, there wasn't much to see in the early stages.
Because of Shen Xinghai, Shi Sheng easily sat in the same row as the current alliance head, Shen Xingyang.
Shen Xinghai was an old man and was more than 20 years older than his older brother, Shen Xingyang.
The two of them looked somewhat similar, but Shen Xingyang was more masculine and burly.
He sized up Shi Sheng curiously.
Shi Sheng was sitting with his legs crossed and eating sunflower seeds. Sensing Shen Xingyang's gaze, he glanced sideways.
Their gazes met in the air.
Shen Xingyang nodded and switched seats with the person next to him. "Miss Wu Zheng saved my younger brother. I've been so busy these past few days that I didn't have time to personally thank you."
Shi Sheng: "…"
I already said that I didn't intend to save him.
Shi Sheng threw away the sunflower seeds in his hand. "Alliance Head Shen, I didn't save Second Young Master Shen. Really, believe me. I wanted to kill him at that time. "
Shen Xingyang was unmoved and continued smiling. "Miss Wu Zheng is a little different from the rumors."
Those rumors were mostly false. They were similar to the rumors spread by that idiot Jiang Zhan.
But what she said was true!
Shen Xinghai, how did you brainwash your older brother?
