Chapter 173: Tempered Letter

Bai Yunxian didn’t quite understand what Yun Shu was thinking, but raising his eyes to look around, the clothes prepared for him were ready in the corner of the bed, which brought a soft smile on his face.

He always felt vibrant colors such as red or yellow didn’t fit him, yet look at this man, choosing a bright color cloth for him again.

Bai Yunxian nodded his head as he gave up and went down from the bed, ready to start the new day with a new goal.

At the same time,

A hand slammed down on the table as Yun Shu glared at the people present, sitting in two rows on both sides of the table.

“As you can see, Left Commander, I’m alive and well enough to call a meeting at dawn. Or is it that the Left commander was wishing I would die in a coma and you can take my position?” Yun Shu chewed out the words in annoyance as she tried her best to keep her face straight.

At dawn, Zhu Zhengting came to check on her as usual, but almost screamed out loudly and gathered a crowd, making a scene out of shock.

Fortunately, Yun Shu was fast enough to cover his mouth and move out of the tent, dragging the guy along with her.

“What happened? What did I just see? Wasn’t that my brother? You bastard! What did you do to him?! Why were you two sleeping together in the same bed? Wasn’t he at the camp? How did he end up in your bed?! Tell me, tell me, tell me everything!”

Zhu Zhengting screamed without taking a breath as he shook Yun Shu by holding her collar, irritating her.

“He is my wife first before being your brother, there is nothing wrong with us sleeping in the same bed. Rather, he came last night and cried because he thought something bad happened to me. Then he was tired and fell asleep, nothing ’yet’ happened between us.” Yun Shu yanked off his hands from her collar as she said, cooling her head to keep herself from almost punching Zhu Zhengting.

’Weird, I don’t know why but… his words somehow make sense…? But still, why would my cute little brother come looking for only him and not me?’ Zhu Zhengting was in a dilemma, but couldn’t refute Yun Shu’s words.

’Calm down, Yun Shu. You can’t mess up your plans by arguing with this little bastard…’

After chanting the line in her mind for a hundred times, Yun Shu took a deep breath as she faced him.

“However, it seems that the Left Commander and Right Commander joined hands. It’s time to pick out the rotten ropes and throw them away.” Yun Shu’s words were straight and confident, Zhu Zhengting understood the meaning behind her words pretty well.

“When are we beginning?”

“Call everyone right away for a meeting. Inform Yun Si of the situation as well.” Yun Shu shook her head as she said, and Zhu Zhengting also nodded his back in response.

“Alright, I’ll call on them right away.” Just as Zhu Zhengting was about to leave, Yun Shu stopped him again.

“Wait, before that, I had something else to ask you, Young Master Zhu.”

“What else do you have to say to me?” Zhu Zhengting retorted, but stood in his place anyway.

“It’s something regarding your brother. During his stay back at the camp, I told you to send a letter to him, remember?” Yun Shu crossed her arms in her chest as she leaned against the pillar beside her.

“Of course I do. Isn’t that letter the reason he cried and stopped eating and sleeping? I wonder what the hell did you even write in that fucking letter that my brother had to suffer so much… I still have scores to settle with you on that!” Zhu Zhengting glared at Yun Shu in disdain, he couldn’t believe that this guy dared to make his little brother suffer after seeing how much he loved him.

His response was to be expected, since everyone knew that Yun Shu and Bai Yunxian fell in love at first sight with each other and got married.

Both of them love each other so much to the point of showing public displays of affection, yet how could he send a heartless letter to his beloved wife?

It doesn’t make any sense.

While from Zhu Zhengting’s point of view as an insider, he was jealous of Yun Shu because of how his little brother distanced himself from him. While caring for a stranger whom he met not long ago and got hurt by, yet his eyes only looked at that bastard.

Yun Shu understood this point, that’s why she didn’t waste her time in useless arguments.

“It seems that someone sneaked in between that time and changed the letter.”

“Of course it would happen. Who—! Wait, what?” Zhu Zhengting’s smug expression wore off upon hearing the unexpected sentence, staring at Yun Shu in disbelief.

“The envelope was the same, but someone tempered the letter inside. You couldn’t tell since the seal on it was mine, but someone stole and used the same seal while no one was looking and did this.” Yun Shu held out her hand with the envelope that Zhu Zhengting delivered to Bai Yunxian, it’s really the same one.

With a double seal.

The wax on the seal was in disarray, because they stamped the seal twice. It clearly means that before Bai Yunxian, someone else opened this envelope.

But who could it be? Why would they do something like this?

“Open it.”

Yun Shu’s eyes showed an expression that she usually doesn’t have. Having known her since they were little, Zhu Zhengting understood the meaning of those eyes very well.

He opened the envelope and took out the letter, reading the contents that left him in shock.

“What the hell? It’s really true that someone actually tempered with it! This isn’t what you wrote in your letter—!”
