Chapter 2150: Miss, You Must Trust This ServantXi Tao shook her head. “This servant doesn’t know. This servant doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ning Shu’s eyebrows drew together tightly. She stared at Xi Tao. “You’re the only other person who came in contact with this pouch. If the contents weren’t taken by you, were they eaten by the bedsheets?”
Xi Tao hurriedly shook her head. “Miss, this servant doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Miss, are you ok?”
“Xi Tao, if you really do think of me as your miss - we grew up together side-by-side - then tell me honestly. Did you take something and who did you give it to?”
“Miss, this servant really didn’t take anything.” Xi Tao waved her hands quickly. Seeing Ning Shu’s cold expression, she quickly knelt down. “Miss, you must trust this servant.”
Ning Shu let out a long breath and said impatiently, “I just want to know where the parchment went. Where is it?”
“Miss, it must have fallen somewhere. This servant will go find it for you.” Xi Tao quickly stood up and wanted to go back to the room to find the parchment for Ning Shu.
Ning Shu grabbed Xi Tao’s arm. “Xi Tao, I’ll give you another chance. Who did you give the parchment to? Actually, I already know who it was. It’s Gu Rui, isn’t it?”
Xi Tao bit her lip and didn’t speak.
“Why did you betray me?” Ning Shu looked at Xi Tao. “What kind of temptation caused you to betray our friendship?”
“Miss.” Xi Tao looked at Ning Shu with tears in her eyes.
Ning Shu let go of Xi Tao’s arm. She needed to find Gu Rui.
“Miss.” Xi Tao stopped Ning Shu. Ning Shu turned her head to look at Xi Tao. Xi Tao cried and said, “Miss, I’m sorry. This servant didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Eldest Young Master Gu said that he would let this servant stay with Young Master Li,” Xi Tao cried.
Ning Shu was silent. A woman in love would give up a lot of things just to be with the person she loved forever, even if it was just a momentary joy.
For Li Jiuge, Xi Tao would turn her back on the master-servant relationship that she grew up with.
Ning Shu waved her hand and left without looking back.
Ning Shu kicked open the door to Gu Rui’s study. Gu Rui was inside writing. He looked up and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Ning Shu looked at Gu Rui lightly. “Give it back.”
“Give what back?” Gu Rui put down the brush.
Ning Shu: …
G.o.dd.a.m.n it. Before, these people asked her for the map, but now it was her who was asking for it.
Fortunes really did rise and fall, d.a.m.n it.
“Let’s not speak in codes. Do you have the map?” Ning Shu stared at Gu Rui.
Gu Rui nodded. “I do.”
“I have a request. You need to bring me with you when you go,” Ning Shu said. She had no way to take the map back from Gu Rui.
However, she had to be there to dig up the grave.
Gu Rui glanced at Ning Shu. A glint flashed through his eyes and he nodded. “Okay, we can go together.”
It was that simple?
It went so smoothly that Ning Shu felt the whole thing was inconceivable.
“You’ll really let me go with you?” Ning Shu stared at Gu Rui.
“If I don’t let you go, will you stay here?”
“Of course not.”
“In order to prevent you from making trouble, it’s easier to just agree with your request.”
Ning Shu tilted her head and felt that this conversation was too anticlimactic.
Things that were too easy to get wouldn’t be cherished, and things that went too smoothly always felt like there was a hidden catch.
