Chapter 518.1: wildly
Pei Yaran was stunned for a moment before she responded with a snort. âI didnât expect you to like Su Xi-er too; or should I say love? To think that you canât bear to kill her. What on earth is so good about that woman that is enough to make you go to such lengths?â
âThatâs a lot of jealousy I sense. I simply canât bear to kill her because I want to let her live. Itâs the same as how I canât bear to kill you; otherwise, I wouldnât have come to save you.â Shi Moâs voice was low and hoarse. He then turned and walked to the door. âClean things up by yourself; donât let anyone find out.â
By the time he had finished speaking, he had already vanished from the room.
Watching the tightly shut door in a daze, Pei Yaran began to recall what had happened tonight.
Sounding me out, poisoning me, and almost making me become a real fool⊠After that, Shi Mo came to save me⊠or should I say, to make use of me?
He said that he could not bear to kill Su Xi-er, just like how he canât bear to kill me. After going through so many things, I have finally come to an understanding. Iâm just a chess piece in Shi Moâs eyes, and Su Xi-er is no different.
Of course he canât bear to kill a valuable pawn.
After further contemplation, a vicious look flickered in Pei Yaranâs eyes as she realised that Shi Moâs true target was Pei Qianhao.
Making Pei Qianhaoâs life worse than death doesnât sound like a bad idea!
Pei Yaran got down from bed and went to the kitchen to retrieve a broom and dustpan, sweeping everything away, returning everything once she was done.
Just as she was about to leave her room, she heard Ruo Yuanâs voice. âNiu Niu, why are you running out in the middle of the night?â
The corners of Pei Yaranâs mouth curled into a sinister smile.
From now on, I am going to act like a real fool.
Foolishly laughing, Pei Yaran stood up and pretended to play with her own hair, having decided to make her performance even more believable than before.
Seeing her deranged manner, Ruo Yuan couldnât help but shake her head and go to stop her. âYour grandfather will be bringing you back tomorrow. Come with me; properly stay in your room.â
âGrandfather? Who are you? Where am I? Let go of me! Boo hooâŠâ Pei Yaran kept struggling as tears poured down her face.
Looks like sheâs really foolish now. I shall report this to the Princess Consort tomorrow.
âLet go of me! You!â Pei Yaran continued to yell, but Ruo Yuan simply dragged her back to her room.
Ruo Yuan sniffed the air. âWhy is there a sour smell? Did you vomit?â
Pei Yaranâs eyes widened before she purposely giggled. âI just went to drink cold water and vomited in the room. It smells nice right?â
âYouâre not allowed to do this! Be obedient and sleep!â Ruo Yuan chided.
The medicine is too effective; she has become this foolish.
After giving her a lecture, Ruo Yuan walked out of the room, planning to report her findings to Su Xi-er first thing tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Imperial Physician Zhao had arrived at the Prince Hao Residence after receiving Prince Haoâs summons. He was in the process of taking Su Xi-erâs pulse in the main room.
Having heard Pei Qianhao say that he was preparing to wash up, Su Xi-er hadnât expected Imperial Physician Zhao to show up.
However, she suddenly didnât want Imperial Physician Zhao to diagnose her. âYou should go back; my body is very well.â
Imperial Physician Zhao immediately bowed. âPrincess Consort, some of the physicians from the common folk are tooting their own horns, so you donât have to take it to heart. Why donât you let this humble subject help you feel your pulse and check what the situation is?â
