The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 38: Drama
To investigate the mystery of his birth, Lin Xiao brought his sister, Tian Ying Er, to the general's residence.
“Get another one, beautiful,” said the general, laughing as he gave wine to his beloved concubine.
The former Heavenly Spirit Princess, now the most favored concubine in the general's residence, Shen Pei, greeted her with a face full of smiles. His every frown and smile had captivated the general to no end.
“I Lin Xiao. I'm here to pay my respects to the Great General. ”
The dancers and singers disperse, and two people who look like an immortal couple appear. The young man brought his innocent and kind-hearted sister into the luxurious hall in high spirits.
When he heard the familiar clear voice, the pampered concubine, who had originally behaved so arrogantly because she had the general's love, was actually panicking. His first reaction was to raise his sleeves to cover himself.
“My darling, what's up?”
Forcing himself to lower his sleeves, Shen Pei forced a smile as the general noticed his abnormality.
“General, I'm fine. I just had a headache.”
However, his hands clenched tightly under his long sleeves. In a close-up shot, his long nails were even embedded in his flesh.
In the hall, Lin Xiao greeted the general. His actions were filled with youthfulness, causing the others in the hall to cry out nonstop.
Shen Pei looked at the young man standing in the hall sadly. When Lin Xiao glanced at him unintentionally, he even lowered his gaze politely.
The banquet was not over yet, but the lively and active little sister could not help but run to the park to watch the fireworks. Shen Pei also found an excuse to leave the room.
The pure and innocent Tian Ying Er watched the fireworks by the lake and was extremely excited. His eyes had a purity that only a well-protected person possessed.
Instead, Shen Pei wore colorful dresses and dazzling jewelry. However, he looked at the woman in simple clothes in front of him with envy.
“Sister Lin has his own important affairs to attend to. If you follow him like this, you will become a burden for him.”
Tian Ying Er's eyes were filled with obvious shock when someone suddenly cut her off and even called 'Sister Lin'.
“What is your relationship with Senior?” Tian Ying Er looked at the woman in luxurious clothes with hostility.
“What relationship I have with big brother Lin has nothing to do with you.”
Hearing Tian Ying Er calling him ‘Senior’, Shen Pei looked even more lonely. He looked at Tian Ying Er with a strange feeling of inferiority and pride before turning to leave. “In short, you have always been a burden to Brother Lin.”
“Very well! Enough once take it! Get ready for the next scene.”
Needless to say, Xia Wanyuan's performance was flawless, and Qin Wu was a talented actor. Although Ruan Yingyu was a little immature compared to them, she was still considered one of the more talented young actresses in the new generation. Therefore, Director Yang was very satisfied.
Lin Xiao, who had been living in the general's residence for a few days, gradually found the important mementos his parents had left there. The memories were kept in the secret room of the general's residence.
In the dark General's residence, two shadowy figures slowly crept into the study. Lin Xiao activated the secret switch in the study room and the bookshelf slowly moved away.
“Adik, wait for me here. Let me know if anything happens.”
“Ya, Senior.”
Tian Ying Er watched Lin Xiao enter the secret passageway nervously as she paced back and forth in the study.
Suddenly, a cat meowed outside the window. Tian Ying Er, who was already in a mess, jumped in shock and dropped the vase on the table. The sound of the porcelain shards was like a high-pitched siren on a silent night.
However, before the guard sword could reach Tian Ying Er, it was deflected by a hidden weapon. Lin Xiao, who had come out of the secret room at some point, grabbed the frightened Tian Ying Er and ran out the window.
“Catch them!”
All the guards in the general's residence gathered and searched one room after another. Upon seeing that they would find them in the wooden warehouse, Tian Ying Er was so frightened that her eyes were covered in tears.
At that moment, footsteps came from the door. Lin Xiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and stared at the door warily.
The door was pushed open and Lin Xiao, who was hiding behind the door, had pressed his sword blade into the person's throat.
“Sister Lin, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you.”
Lin Xiao heard a familiar voice and turned his face. That person had beautiful eyebrows and reddish lips. Through the dim light outside, Shen Pei, who had cleaned up her thick makeup, reminded Lin Xiao of the beautiful woman under the lantern she had met three years ago.
“That's you? Miss, why are you here?”
Lin Xiao did not realize that she was the General's favorite concubine. Shen Pei was relieved.
“Do not ask much. I'll go out and lure them away. There is a hidden path to the right of the wooden warehouse, you can go from there later.”
“Nona, why do you help us?” Lin Xiao slowly pulled the sword he was holding in Shen Pei's throat.
“Upload it as I return the favor.”
Shen Pei looked deeper at the man who had appeared in his dreams many times but slowly faded from his memories. It was as if he wanted to remember his face forever.
After which, Shen Pei firmly walked out of the wooden shed and walked towards the place where the light was dense. However, in Lin Xiao's eyes, it was as if he had walked into endless darkness, making his heart turn cold.
Camera enlarged.
Shen Pei, who left the wooden warehouse step by step, could not stop her tears from flowing.
At this moment, Shen Pei, who was walking along the corridor, no longer walked gracefully like a pampered concubine. Instead, he regained the royal etiquette that he had not trained for three years. It was as if he wanted to leave the last part of his dignity as a noble.
