Chapter 21: 16.1

Chapter 16 – Men’s Plan Cannot Supersede Heaven’s Arrangements1 (1)

Lu Qipei walked naturally without restraint, bringing nothing but an apricot flower with her. But that didn’t mean she didn’t understand her current situation. In fact, she knew very well that even after the Spring Exam, she would still be avoiding the Lu family.

Therefore, after leaving the courtyard, the first place Lu Qipei went to was a clothing shop. She had already planned it out; this time, she would change into women’s clothing and wear a veiled hat to completely cover her face! This way, she wouldn’t need to worry about being recognized, nor would she have to be afraid that someone sharp like Qi Yang would see through her disguise. Once she hired a carriage to go out of the city, where in the world would she not be able to go to?

As for leaving the city… She didn’t believe that there would still be anyone stopping people on the road and running a search after such a long time had passed!

Lu Qipei was right. In fact, since Lu Qicheng returned, most of the Lu family’s men dispatched to search for her had been withdrawn. When Lu Qicheng was disfigured due to the horse running wild, part of the remaining men were sent to investigate the incident.

Right now, the number of people still looking for her was only one or two tenth what it was.

Two or three of them were idling around in the middle of the city, and the ones outside the city had earlier ceased stopping people to search them. No one thought that Lu Qipei who had been missing for half a month could be recovered, nor

However, there was the saying ‘no coincidence, no story’. And in Lu Qipei’s case, men’s plan cannot supersede Heaven’s arrangements.

She went out of the courtyard and stepped into the street with a clear plan in her heart. But even though the clothing shop was close by and the place where she could get a carriage was not far away, two big men who looked familiar suddenly rushed out from across the street and blocked her way!

Both of them were guards from the Lu family. They escorted the Lu siblings all the way from Jiangnan to the capital. Although they couldn’t be said to be that familiar with each other, they were definitely acquainted. So those two were sent out to try their luck, and now they recognized Lu Qipei from a distance.

They quickly stepped forward and excitedly blocked Lu Qipei’s way, “Young Master, where have you been these days? We were so worried!”

Lu Qipei’s heart couldn’t help beating wildly when she saw them. Her right foot had even retreated half a step behind subconsciously. If the two excited men across the street noticed this small movement, they would’ve noticed how vigilant and defensive she was at the moment.

But they didn’t notice. In reality, someone in their position didn’t get to know much information. They didn’t even know that the woman ahead of them was a woman. When they saw Lu Qipei, they continuously talked, “Young Master, now that you’re here, please go back with us. Something happened to the Young Lord!”

Lu Qipei was thinking about how to run away from the two of them, but when she heard the news,

Lu Qipei had been thinking about how to run away from the two of them. When he heard the news, she was so stunned that she even stopped preparing to run. She unconsciously blurted out, “What happened to him?”

She didn’t this question now out of concern. No matter how big-hearted she was, she would not care about someone who had once used her and killed her. She really was just a little surprised, and at the same time, a thought quickly came to her mind…

The two men opposite her didn’t notice anything wrong and immediately replied, “During the first break of the Spring Exam, the horse pulling his carriage was startled and the Young Lord fell and got injured. He wasn’t able to go to the next two phase of the exam.” They sighed as they continued, “This will have to be delayed for another three years.”

Lu Qipei raised her eyebrows imperceptibly when she heard this and immediately asked, “Is he seriously injured?”

The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads, saying that they weren’t clear on this matter.

Lu Qipei understood from seeing the two’s reaction that Lu Qicheng’s injury wasn’t something light. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to hide it. Her heart felt sour but also a little bit happy. At the same time, she unconsciously began to formulate a plan and she couldn’t find the feeling of empathy that she would’ve had back then.

Of course, what she wanted most right now was to leave!

Unfortunately, although the two guards in front of her was a bit slow, it was impossible that they would let her go after finding her. The two of them looked at her after answering her questions and said once more, “Young Master, please come back with us.”

Lu Qipei pondered for a moment and tested one last struggle, “There’s still something I have to do…”

The two guards surrounded her from left and right before she could finish speaking. Although they did not make a move, their attitude was very firm. Within that short period of time, Lu Qipei had determined that she wouldn’t be able to run nor fight, so she immediately chose to compromise. She gave one last look to the clothing shop not far away and sighed, “Since Ah Cheng is injured, I’ll go back first. Let’s talk about the other things later.”

After that, she lifted her steps and left, looking very comfortable.

The two guards didn’t say anything else and followed behind her, looking as respectful as ever. But now Lu Qipei did not dare to take the Lu family lightly anymore. She was very vigilant and frowned as soon as she turned around…

The most urgent thing right now was to think of an explanation first to fool Lu Qicheng when she returned.
