My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate! Chapter 87 - 47: Good Advice Can’t Stop Those Seeking Death
Suddenly, a playful voice ca, and everyone turned to see a handso and elegant man looking at them with a smile.
"Huh, I think I’ve seen you before. You’re Lu Wu, the Assistant General of Duke Ning, right?"
"That would be ."
"General Lu, you just said that Second Young Master Yun would not be joining us. Why’s that?"
Wei Chaohui stood up, respectfully looking at Lu Wu for an explanation.
"Well," Lu Wu stroked his chin, speaking nonchalantly, "Our young master might have caught a chill. As he was getting ready to head out for the banquet today, he suddenly fainted."
"The Duke, afraid you all might grow anxious waiting, specifically sent to let you know."
Everyone: "..."
Nonsense!
Given Yun Wanye’s constitution, could catching a chill really make him faint?
Even a ghost would see through such a lie.
Yun Wanye not showing up for the banquet is likely due to one of two reasons: either sothing truly happened and he simply couldn’t break away, or he was kept back by the Duke.
It’s highly possible the Duke thinks they are just a bunch of idle playboys and doesn’t want Yun Wanye to get too close to them, fearing he might be led astray.
Wei Chaohui felt a bit disappointed, sighed, and said, "Alright, we understand. Thanks to General Lu for passing the ssage, but Ah Yue will be alright, won’t he?"
"He’ll be fine, since the ssage is delivered, I won’t disturb you gentlen’s enjoynt any further. I wish Young Master Wei a happy birthday and all the best, farewell."
"Thank you, General Lu."
Lu Wu didn’t actually leave, instead, he continued to secretly watch them.
Over an hour later, more noble guests arrived on the second floor of Zuixiang Building.
"Look, it’s Lu Huaixin, that damn kid."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Even though he’s just a concubine’s son who can’t really make it to the stage, he’s now the young master of Changle Marquis Mansion and the fiancé of Princess Hua Yang. Insult him, and he might co looking for trouble with us."
"Let him co, who’s afraid of him? Without the Princess, what is he..."
Before he could finish, a nearby friend hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Shut up. Today is Brother Wei’s birthday, Second Young Master Yun isn’t here, we have no one to back us up. Why invite trouble?"
Zhu Yongcheng pulled his hand away angrily, glaring at him, "Are you backing down?"
"..."
Kindness seen as a donkey’s liver and lungs.
Shen Yibai snorted, turned away, sat down, and, ignoring him, lifted a cup of wine to toast Wei Chaohui.
After his self-inflicted embarrassnt, Zhu Yongcheng gulped down his drink, then stood up and walked toward Lu Huaixin and his group.
Lu Wu, secretly observing, instantly recalled what Yun Zheng had instructed and, with a change in his gaze, took out a peanut and used his inner strength to flick it at him.
’Bang bang bang...’
A burst of clattering sounds erupted, causing Wei Chaohui and the others to quickly look up, only to see Zhu Yongcheng slip and fall, knocking over a chair beside him.
Zhu Yongcheng was clearly drunk, dazed on the ground, unable to get up for a while.
"Brother Yongcheng~"
Wei Chaohui hurried over to help him, while the others also ca to assist.
The commotion here caught the attention from the other side.
"Young Master, it’s Wei Chaohui and his bunch of playboys."
The speaker was Deng Rong, a concubine’s son of the Righteous Doctor, a character who soon dies in the plot. At this mont, he gazed at Wei Chaohui’s direction with disdain.
Lu Huaixin looked over and, after a mont, frowned, "How strange, Yun Wanye is nowhere to be seen. Usually, isn’t he inseparable from this group?"
"I don’t know, maybe sothing ca up. Young Master, see how comical Zhu Yongcheng looks, doesn’t he look like a dog, hahaha~"
Deng Rong laughed recklessly, fortunate they were a distance apart, and Zhu Yongcheng, after his fall had gotten intoxicated, woozy, and didn’t hear anything, otherwise, he’d surely charge over to fight him.
"I keep feeling uneasy, as if sothing bad is about to happen. Now that Brother Yongcheng is drunk as well, perhaps we should call it a day and leave this place right away."
Helping him up, Wei Chaohui frowned, addressing the others.
Ever since Lu Huaixin and his entourage appeared, he inexplicably felt a burst of anxiety and restlessness, wrapped in a foreboding feeling.
Now, with Zhu Yongcheng’s fall intensifying his unease.
"Sounds good, we’ve drunk enough for today. I also have a bad headache, let’s et another day~"
Shen Yibai, known for his cautiousness, felt Zhu Yongcheng seed off today, as if manipulated by so invisible force, like he was hastening to reincarnate.
This Zhu Yongcheng, though hot-tempered by nature, usually would clash with Lu Huaixin, but never as impulsively as today.
Thus, giving him a sense that fate was on the verge of changing.
"Alright, let’s call it a night then. I’ll see Brother Yongcheng ho. You all be careful on your way back, stay safe."
"Okay~"
Soon, a group of young noblen left Zuixiang Building with their servants.
Watching them walk away, Lu Wu did not leave imdiately but kept watching, afraid they’d turn back, only leaving after Zuixiang Building closed to report back to Yun Zheng at Duke Ning Mansion later at night.
