Chapter 223 Memories Already Regained
"What are you pretending for?" A-Zhu continued, tilting her head and speaking in a soft, gentle voice.
Lin Shu's gaze suddenly sharpened. She took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress her impatience, and said in a cold and firm tone:
"You regained your memories a long time ago, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, A-Zhu stopped pretending and instead casually dusted off her sleeves. A hint of doubt appeared on her incredibly deceptively cute face as she asked in a feignedly innocent tone:
"When did you find out, sister? How did you find out? Ah Zhu hid it so well!"
"The Imperial Preceptor's birthday banquet," Lin Shu replied succinctly, then added, "Your eyes, though equally bewildered, are not pure."
Upon hearing this, A-Zhu's face flashed with annoyance, her expression quite rich, her dimples appearing and disappearing as she pouted at Lin Shu in a coquettish tone:
"Sigh! My sister is no fun at all, she found out so quickly!"
"What did you mean by 'something unusual in the secret prison of the Imperial Preceptor's residence'?" Lin Shu brought up the topic again.
"Guess!" Azhu winked mischievously at Lin Shu, then walked to the table opposite Lin Shu, lightly jumped up and sat on the table behind her, leisurely swinging her two short legs.
Lin Shu didn't want to get into a fight with him, so she turned her back to him and said, "If you're not going to talk, then leave."
A-Zhu's swaying legs suddenly stopped, and in an instant she reverted to her silly self, tearfully accusing, "Sister said she wouldn't abandon A-Zhu..."
Lin Shu remained unmoved by this.
Seeing this, Azhu jumped off the table in frustration, walked to a spot two steps away from Lin Shu, and said in a resentful voice, "Why are you ignoring me, sister? You weren't like this to me before!"
“You are different from him.” This time, Lin Shu finally responded.
"What's the difference?" Azhu asked in confusion, his eyes full of interest. After regaining his memories, he often felt as if he had been split in two.
That fool was him, yet he seemed not to be him at all! However, this did not prevent him from navigating the Imperial Preceptor's mansion and among others with ease by using another version of himself!
To this day, no one has noticed that he has regained his memories, except for Lin Shu!
This surprised and intrigued him!
Moreover, his other self really liked Lin Shu, which had affected his emotions. He also really liked Lin Shu's gem-like eyes, which is why he wanted Lin Shu to marry him.
But she doesn't seem willing to marry me, so what should I do...?
A-Zhu tilted her head and thought for a moment, her mind racing: Should she think of other ways, or should she do as the clan chief said—gouge out those eyes directly?
Lin Shu stared at A Zhu's face, which was contorted with worry, completely unaware that she was debating whether to gouge out her eyes. She spoke to pull her thoughts back to reality:
"It's getting late, please go back."
"Huh? Back?" A-Zhu was puzzled. She had only been thinking for a moment, and the topic had suddenly jumped to seeing the guest off. She was caught off guard and asked in confusion, "Sister, don't you want to know about the Dark Prison?"
Lin Shu remained silent, responding only with a cold gaze.
A-Zhu took another step forward, closing the distance between them, and said in a negotiating tone, "Actually, as long as you agree to marry A-Zhu, you can hear what you want to know!"
Lin Shu remained unmoved, pointed towards the door, and said softly, "Please."
"You..." Azhu was enraged by Lin Shu's cold attitude, feeling indignant. She was so gentle to that fool, why was she so cold to her? "Azhu will give you one more chance, will you marry me or not?"
Lin Shu shook her head, her expression calm and composed: "I will not marry."
A-Zhu was used to being domineering in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion, and this was the first time someone had been so unyielding to him: "Very well! You'll regret this."
After uttering the threat, A-Zhu walked slowly toward the door, thinking to herself that Lin Shu should call her back.
To his surprise, even after reaching the door, he still couldn't hear a sound from inside. Feeling annoyed, he turned to Lin Shu and snorted coldly, "Hmph!"
Then he quickened his pace and walked outside.
"Silly girl... Ah Zhu... Ah!" Ji Wan, who had been waiting outside the door, saw Ah Zhu come out and hurriedly went to greet her, only to have her foot stepped on by the other girl. She doubled over in pain, clutching her foot and screaming in agony.
"Ouch...it hurts...you silly boy, you're too cruel..."
A-Zhu was already in a bad mood, and then Ji Wan took the initiative to come closer and kept calling her an idiot. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and glared angrily at Ji Wan through gritted teeth...
Thus, Ugly Two, who was not far away, clearly saw—
Ah Zhu, who had already walked quite far away, suddenly turned back and kicked Ji Wan's protruding buttocks hard until Ji Wan fell flat on her face. Only then did he turn around and leave Wushuang Pavilion.
After everyone left, Lin Shu's voice rang out from inside the room: "Chou Er, come in."
Before entering the house, Chou Er took one last sympathetic look at Ji Wan, who was in a strange posture, one hand covering her buttocks and the other covering her feet, and thought to himself that men are really scary.
inside the house.
Lin Shu was already seated in the chair in front of the desk. Seeing Chou Er enter, she spoke first:
“Two things.
First, keep an eye on Ah-Zhu's movements.
Secondly, increase the number of personnel at the Imperial Preceptor's office. Report any unusual activity immediately, lest we ruin things in half a month. Also, those plans can begin!
"Yes," Ugly Two replied.
She knew that her master and the regent would take action against the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in about half a month, and in the next half month, Wushuang Pavilion needed to create the illusion that the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was "going against the will of Heaven".
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Chou Er asked again, "Master, that Young Master Azhu is also from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. If he hinders my actions, then..."
Lin Shu was silent for a moment, then uttered a single, cold word with unwavering resolve: "Kill."
"Yes."
"..."
After Chou Er left, Lin Shu sat alone on the carved chair, thinking of A Zhu, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
It wasn't because she was in love with him, but because A-Zhu, after losing his memory, was the purest person she had ever met, as pure as a young wild animal in the mountains, which is why she was able to open her heart to him from the very beginning.
Ah Zhu, who regained her memories, was an extremely complex person, cunning and unruly.
Although it's the same person, they are completely different in Lin Shu's heart...
……
Imperial Prefecture.
As soon as Azhu returned to the manor, she was summoned by Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao looked down at A Zhu in front of her. She had only learned from Zhu Ke in the past few days that the leader of Wushuang Pavilion was actually Lin Shu! Lin Shu, the daughter of Xue Wen!
As for how Zhu Ke found out, it was naturally A Zhu, also known as Zhu Qing, who told him.
After Zhu Yao realized Zhu Qing's feelings for Lin Shu, she made a bet with him. Now that Zhu Qing has returned, the result should be clear.
Seeing Zhu Qing's displeased expression, Zhu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and said smugly:
"Qing'er, how is it? Is the result as I predicted?"
