Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 66: Set Off

As expected, by the time Lu Yufei returned to the mansion, Zhao Chengjun had already left.

Lu Yufei expressed her guilt repeatedly in front of Lui Ji, "I was negligent. Wangye went on the expedition today, but I didn't come back in time for such a big matter. I as the Shizi Consort is truly negligent."

Liu Ji was all smiles, "I don't blame Shizi Consort. Wangye's expedition is confidential and didn't tell outsiders. It's enough for Shizifei to be so thoughtful. When Wangye comes back, he won't blame Shizi and Shizifei."

Lu Yufei followed with a sigh. Then she changed her manner of speaking and said casually, "Liu Gonggong, there is another strange thing to report to you today. I didn't know where Miss Tang had gone. I had people look around Wangjiang Pavilion three times but still couldn't find her. The people who accompanied her said that Miss Tang had gone out by herself, but no one knew where she had gone. I was so anxious, but seeing that it was getting late and I was afraid that I could not catch up with Wangye, so I had to reluctantly leave first. Liu Gonggong, what do you think we should do?"

Liu Ji was not surprised, and said casually, "There's no harm, Miss Tang has already returned. She caught the wind on her way back, and the imperial physician had prescribed typhoid medicine for her. Now she is asleep."

Lu Yufei deliberately spoke slowly as her intention was not to scare Liu Ji. As it turned out Tang Shishi was fine, instead Lu Yufei was shocked, "What? Tang Shishi has already returned?"

Lu Yufei realized that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly sought to make up for it, "Of course this is a good thing. However, the carriages from the mansion were all parked, and no one left early. How did Miss Tang come back?"

Liu Ji folded both his hands and smiled at Lu Yufei kindly, "It's good that people are safe. There's no need to entangle the details. Shizi Consort, don't you think so?"

Liu Ji was a well-known tiger with a smiling face. Lu Yufei felt awkward and nodded stiffly, "What Gonggong said is true. I presumed Miss Tang is in the Jianjia courtyard and I'll go see her."

"Shizi Consort." Liu Ji smiled unhurriedly, "Miss Tang is already asleep."

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot." Lu Yufei reluctantly smiled, and said, "I was rude. I'll visit Miss Tang tomorrow."

"What, Tang Shishi is in the mansion?" Feng Qian heard the shocking news when she returned to her room before she could even sit down. Feng Qian could not believe it, and could not help muttering, "She's actually in the mansion? How could it be possible? How could she come back since Wangjiang Pavilion is so far from the city?"

Feng Qian did not know what to think of and stood up abruptly, "This won't do. I'm going to have a look."

"Miss." The maid stopped Feng Qian with an embarrassed face, "Miss Tang is already asleep. Liu Gonggong sent someone to mention that Miss Tang is ill and it's not convenient to see guests during this period so that outsiders will not disturb Miss Tang's recovery."

Feng Qian's complexion changed, and finally, she sat back down slowly, "Yes ah, Sister Tang is recovering from illness. My sister is sick, and I feel sorry for her. I will visit my sister myself tomorrow."

Tang Shishi had a good sleep. It was still early when she woke up the next day. She dressed and got out of bed without disturbing the maids.

Tang Shishi's health recovered a lot, but her complexion was still pale. When she was wearing clothes, she saw the bruises on her body, and her teeth were itching with hatred, "Beasts! Sure enough, men are not good things. They don't know how to control themselves in bed. When they get out of bed, they pretend to be a gentleman, ah!"
