Chapter 2149: Sure, I’ll Wait
Mo Juechen said that Ning Shu had the map in a definite tone. That level of certainty astonished Ning Shu.
She’d never exposed the map to others, had she?
Ning Shu hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t have it, I swear. How could I find something that even Gu Rui couldn’t find?”
“My father never told me about such a thing. Besides, how could my father have something so precious? How do you know that my father has it?”
“My father was just a simple businessman. How could he have a map of the state preceptor’s tomb? Gu Rui should know more about this kind of thing. Isn’t he the Jia Kingdom’s prince?” Ning Shu’s expression was unsightly. “Why do you keep bothering me about it every single day? Does this ma’am owe you something?”
“My father also suffered, to accept an adopted son like you.”
“I never agreed to be your father’s adopted son. Your father forcibly recognized me as his adopted son without giving me a chance to speak.” Mo Juechen spread his hands helplessly.
“Stop changing the subject. I’m telling you, hand it over. Hurry up,” Mo Juechen said.
“I don’t have it. I only have my life. I don’t have what you want.” Ning Shu put her hands on her hips.
“Keep being stubborn and I’ll make you regret it.” Mo Juechen pointed at Ning Shu. “Just wait, you’ll regret it. Just you wait…”
“Sure, I’ll wait. I’d like to see what you can do to me.” Ning Shu rolled her eyes.
“Just wait, this master’s left-hand man knows a hundred and eight kinds of torture. You’ll be raped and then killed.” Mo Juechen pointed at Ning Shu.
“Try me. If it comes to rape and murder, I’ll just cut him up first.” Ning Shu slapped Mo Juechen’s finger away and pointed at him.
“Y-you…” Mo Juechen said with a sullen face. “Don’t refuse a toast just to drink a forfeit.”
Mo Juechen left and directly knocked over Xi Tao who was coming in. Xi Tao saw Mo Juechen walking out of Ning Shu’s room and pointed at Mo Juechen. “Y-you, Miss…”
“Point at this master again, and this master will throw you into the snake cave.”
Xi Tao immediately closed her mouth, got up from the ground, and entered the room.
“Miss.” Xi Tao saw the collapsed bed, “T-this…Did Mo Juechen bully you?”
“Everything’s fine. Take the bed away and bring in a new one.” Ning Shu’s expression was dark. It seemed that Gu Rui and Mo Juechen were set on obtaining the map.
Despite her strong act, the truth was her current situation was very bad.
Mo Juechen was a direct person who plainly asked for things. However, Gu Rui had never asked her for anything.
He obviously wanted the map, but he bided his time and quietly waited.
Ning Shu went to touch the pouch around her waist and found that it was missing.
Ning Shu was startled and hurriedly went to look for it. It was probably left in the bed when it collapsed. She’d hung the pouch on one of the bedposts.
Xi Tao was cleaning up the bed and found the pouch. “Miss, is it this one?”
“Yes.” Ning Shu hurriedly took the pouch and hung it around her waist.
“Miss, this servant will ask the carpenter to make a new bed for you.” After Xi Tao saluted, she hurried away.
Ning Shu poured a cup of tea and drank it.
Then, she abruptly put down the teacup and caused the tea to splash out. Ning Shu took off her pouch and opened it to take a look.
There was no map.
Where was the map?
Xi Tao?!
Ning Shu hurriedly chased after Xi Tao.
Only Xi Tao had come in contact with this pouch.
Ning Shu found Xi Tao. When Xi Tao saw Ning Shu, she panicked and asked, “Miss, what’s the matter?”
Ning Shu asked breathlessly, “Where are the things from my pouch? There was a piece of parchment inside.”
