Chapter 255: Expected
As there were not many rooms in the inn, Shi Yi and Yun Ting shared a room.
It was not considered crowded. There were two beds in each room, and there was a screen in the middle.
Even so, with Yun Ting’s vigilance, it was impossible for him not to notice Shi Yi if he woke up in the middle of the night.
“But I saw it clearly. It was indeed Young Master Shi.”
Lin Jiang did not think further and only told them what he saw.
He did not understand why Shi Yi would deny it.
Yun Ting frowned.
Ever since they met Lu Sheng, they had seen a lot of strange things.
Thinking of Lu Sheng’s and Chu Sihan’s expressions when they looked at Shi Yi just now, he roughly guessed something.
Hence, he said to Lin Jiang, “It was him.”
“But...”
Shi Yi wanted to continue arguing, but Yun Ting nodded at him.
When he saw this, he hurriedly pursed his lips.
Lin Jiang looked at him suspiciously but did not say anything else.
After Lin Jiang left, Shi Yi looked at Lu Sheng and asked, “Miss Lu, what happened? Why did Young Master Lin say that he saw me bringing wine to Brother Chu?”
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly and did not tell him about the Illusory Demon. Instead, she casually made up a story. “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that something changed into your appearance and brought wine over to drink with the Lord.”
“What?”
Shi Yi felt a chill run down his spine, as if something was sitting on his back. He straightened his back in fear.
“It... it couldnm’t be?”
Could he have provoked something unclean?
This was not right. If it were those things, how could Lin Jiang see them?
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “You’re thinking too much. That thing isn’t targeting you. He’s just bored and wanted to find someone to chat with.”
“I see!”
Shi Yi took a deep breath.
Yun Ting glanced at him speechlessly and shook his head.
He used to be quite bold, but after seeing Da Niu’s ghost, he became less gutsy.

Half a month later, in the capital.
Ever since the Blood Moon incident, they had not encountered any trouble.
Everyone entered the capital smoothly.
After Dongfang Yuechu and Shi Guang had their wedding banquet, Chu Sihan brought Lu Sheng back to the inn to rest.
When Matriarch Fu knew that Lu Sheng had also come to the capital, she immediately told Chu Sihan to bring her to the Prime Minister’s Mansion tomorrow night.
Chu Sihan naturally did not dare to disobey his grandmother’s orders.
He did not like Fu Ting much, but he respected Matriarch Fu from the bottom of his heart.
He had arrived in the capital when he was eight. In the huge Fu Mansion, besides his cousin Fu Xianyun and his uncle Fu Lei, Matriarch Fu doted on him the most.
This was also the reason why he was closer to the Fu family than the Chu family.
In the Chu Mansion, Chu Hongzhong only met him a few times a year. Fu Ting was always thinking about how to give Shangguan Linger to him, so she rarely cared about his feelings.
As for Matriarch Chu, she might be sincere in doting him, but because of Mdm Jiang, he could not get close to her.
In the entire Chu Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion, other than Chu Hongzhong, only Fu Lei knew of his background.
However, even though he knew that he was not Fu Ting’s biological son, Fu Lei still tried his best to get a master to guide him.
He had also asked the State Minister to invite Ye Luo over. He had originally found him for Chu Sihan and Fu Xianyun.
However, Lu Ye liked Chu Sihan immediately and refused to accept Fu Xianyun as his disciple. He even said straightforwardly that Fu Xianyun’s talent was too poor and he was not worthy to be his disciple.
Fu Xianyun was not angry at this. Fu Lei did not react either, as if he had expected this.
