Chapter 1851: Just Came to Check on Miss

Pei Lan searched around for some time but when she couldn’t find anything, she became alert and quickly turned around to leave the room.

There was some uneasiness in Pei Lanʼs heart because she had seen the jewelry on the dresser during the day, but now it was gone.

When she neared the bed, she raised the oil lamp to see if Ning Shu was awake or not. To her shock, she found a ghostly face staring straight at her in the dim light.

Pei Lan was so scared that she almost screamed and threw away the lamp in her hand.

”Miss…” Pei Lan knelt with a plop and spoke as calmly as she could. ”Miss, I came in to see if you were asleep. Is there something you need?”

”Iʼm fine, what were you doing just now?” Ning Shu asked indifferently.

”I… I just came to check on Miss. It is autumn now and the night is colder, so this servant came to check if the Miss had kicked the blanket.” Pei Lanʼs voice trembled a little.

”Since Miss doesn’t have any orders, this servant will leave now.” Pei Lan carried the oil lamp and scurried off in a panic. She closed the door on her way out.

Ning Shu: Ha. Ha…

She got out of bed to go find Pei Lan. There was no way she could allow Pei Lan to stay here. Without the purple qi of fortune of the protagonist, she would not be able to control the Pei family siblings.

She would not keep people with malicious intent around.

Ning Shu went to Pei Lanʼs room which was faintly lit. When she walked in, she found that there was no one in the room.

Ning Shu frowned, wondering if Pei Lan had already run away.

”2333, turn on the tracking system,” Ning Shu said to 2333. She had already spent five merit points, not using it would be a waste.

A red dot appeared in Ning Shuʼs mind. She followed the system’s prompt and finally found Pei Lan in the rock garden’s fake cave.

Pei Lan was curled up into a ball. When the light from Ning Shu’s lamp hit her, Pei Lan immediately stood up to run.

Ning Shu yanked at her collar and pulled her back. ”Why were you squatting here in the middle of the night? Donʼt tell me you were pooping?”

Pei Lan didnʼt know what Ning Shu meant by pooping, but the bad feeling in her was ever increasing as she was being held by the collar. She tried hard to break away from Ning Shuʼs control, but she was dragged towards the Orchid Garden.

At the Orchid Garden, Ning Shu closed the door to her room and sat on a chair as she looked at Pei Lan emotionlessly.

Technically, Ying Su was the one who bought and became Pei Lan’s master, not her, but now that she had caught Pei Lan trying to steal from her, it gave Ning Shu the opportunity to deal with this servant.

Pei Lan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.

”Why did you steal?” Ning Shu asked.

Pei Lan lifted her head to look at Ning Shu. Her eyes were flooded with tears, and she didnʼt speak for a long time.

Ning Shu wasnʼt in a hurry either. She was not the one kneeling, and in fact, she was quite comfortable sitting on the chair while drinking water.

”This servant knows that she has wronged Miss, but my brother and I could not wait anymore. We want to have the power to take revenge,” Pei Lan explained in tears.

Ning Shu asked, ”Stealing something will give you the power to take revenge?”

Ning Shu couldn’t understand this.

Sure enough, some people were born to support the protagonist. When the protagonist was strong, these people would rise. Now that Ying Su, the protagonist, was dead, Pei Lan started having different thoughts.

She actually thought of stealing from her.

”Brother has no more money on him. He has been waiting for Miss to send instructions but you haven’t done anything,” said Pei Lan. ”Before, Miss said that you would let us siblings have the power to take revenge, but…”
