Chapter 54: The Birthday Banquet

Jiang Yu had originally thought that she would have trouble falling asleep because of some emotion in her heart, but when the hand on her waist slowly became the same temperature as her own, and she heard the light but very clear breathing of the person next to her because of the close distance, Jiang Yu, on the contrary, felt a very strange sense of peace.

It was probably because she knew clearly that the person next to her was her companion, so Jiang Yu did not have the various worries she had originally thought she would have. Gradually, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep.

Shi Jun looked at the person who was already asleep in front of her, and the smile on her lips deepened.

She had originally thought that she would have to use a little trick to coax Jiang Yu to sleep, but she had not expected that it would not be necessary.

Without a doubt, Shi Jun really liked Jiang Yu’s lack of defense.

Her fingers moved, feeling the temperature of the other party’s body, as if she herself was also being dyed with the same temperature.

Shi Jun closed her eyes slightly, and then moved in Jiang Yu’s direction, getting closer to the other party.

She didn’t know why, but she really liked to be close to Jiang Yu. She had never had this kind of emotion for anyone before.

Jiang Yu was the first.

This made her feel a little surprised, and at the same time, there was a feeling that something was about to get out of control.

However, although she didn’t know the reason, but to do what she wanted to do, this was Shi Jun’s principle.

She would not suppress herself.

When she woke up the next day, Jiang Yu saw Zhong Yu, who was very close to her.

Although she felt awkward, it was only for a moment. Soon, Jiang Yu returned to normal, got up, and washed up.

Jiang Yu thought of the expression Zhong Yu had shown after seeing the girl in the pink dress yesterday, and couldn’t help but ask, “Did the girl in the pink dress hide something?”

She thought for a moment. “Her side should have also updated the information of the role she is playing.”

Shi Jun did not hide it.

Then, she looked at Jiang Yu with a smile. “Continue to guess?”

Jiang Yu then recalled what had happened yesterday.

Then she thought that the girl in the pink dress had only suddenly happened when the man in the floral shirt had thrown the blame on the loan shark.

Jiang Yu understood. “So, the role she is playing should be that loan shark?”

At that time, she didn’t feel anything, because she had answered very naturally. But now that she thought about it, the girl in the pink dress’s behavior was indeed a little anxious.

Shi Jun nodded. “It can basically be confirmed.”

Thinking of the storyline revealed in the man in the floral shirt’s notebook, Jiang Yu could probably understand why the girl in the pink dress was so anxious.

But…

“Why didn’t the guard Ansel bring the princess back?”

Jiang Yu was very concerned about this.

As the Lolita girl had analyzed, if Princess Lino really didn’t like the princess, she could have taken this opportunity to get rid of her. But why… did she do this?

Although this could also humiliate the princess, but the unexpectedness was too great, and once it was exposed, she would definitely be punished by the king.

Shi Jun’s gaze swept past her lightly, and a smile appeared on her lips. “This point is not difficult to guess.”

Jiang Yu looked over. “You’ve already guessed it?”

Shi Jun smiled. “And this clue should be the other half of the key to completing the mission.”

Jiang Yu thought for a moment. “You mean, just our atonement is not enough to make the princess completely happy?”

Shi Jun nodded.

Her fingers gently brushed across the hem of her clothes, looking at her pale fingertips, and then she said, “After all, there are always some extra clues and doubts waiting for us to discover and solve. If just our atonement can make the princess happy, then the mission will definitely not proceed in this way.”

Jiang Yu tried her best to follow Zhong Yu’s train of thought.

Her brain was spinning with some of the clues she had collected.

Shi Jun stood up. “Let’s go. Let’s eat first. There’s no need to be so anxious.”

Today’s breakfast was still not missed by anyone.

After a night, the Lolita girl had also figured out what the girl in the pink dress was hiding. Therefore, at breakfast, she directly started to make a fuss.

The Lolita girl stared at the girl in the pink dress with cold eyes. “I think that since you’ve already learned your part of the information, there’s no need to hide it anymore.”

The girl in the pink dress pursed her lips. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The Lolita girl: “Is it interesting for you to hide it from us now?”

Seeing this, the high school student pulled the Lolita girl’s clothes and then persuaded her in a small voice, “Well… aren’t we teammates now? Only by working together to find a way to solve the problem and complete the mission can we possibly clear it.”

Jiang Yu’s gaze looked at the girl in the pink dress, and then she realized that after the girl in the pink dress had learned of her identity, she probably felt that what she had done in the story would be greatly hated by the princess, so she had a sense of avoidance.

And this sense of avoidance had caused her to even subconsciously hide it from them.

But if it were other missions, or other instances, her hiding it would be understandable. But in this situation, if she hid it, it would only be unfavorable to everyone.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, the girl in the pink dress couldn’t help but bite her lip, and then she still explained.

Her story supplemented the information from the man in the floral shirt, and it was a perfect fit.

Jiang Yu asked, “What is the princess’s secret that you learned?”

The girl in the pink dress shook her head. “I don’t have a detailed description here. It just says that it’s a secret.” She glanced at Jiang Yu. “As Ansel’s daughter, don’t you know?”

Jiang Yu frowned slightly and slowly shook her head.

The girl in the pink dress looked like she wanted to say something, but she still temporarily believed Jiang Yu’s words.

Shi Jun looked up. “Today is only the second day. It’s normal that this information has not been updated. After all, after the gemstone merchant transferred the princess, no one knows where the princess went and what she encountered. Therefore, it’s normal for the princess’s secret not to be announced for the time being.”

However, she already had a guess.

The girl in the pink dress pursed her lips and finally let go of this clue.

Then she looked at the girl with glasses and also pulled her out.

“The debtor who sold out the princess… that’s you, right, girl with glasses?”

The girl with glasses’ mouth moved. She didn’t want to hide it. Then, she explained her storyline clearly.

The man in the floral shirt said, “In that case, you two are in a similar situation. You’re both implicated by your parents.”

The girl with glasses let out a light sigh of relief. “Yeah, so… the princess can probably understand.”

The girl in the pink dress glanced at her. “What can the princess understand? Understand that she took you as a friend and went to your house to play, but was sold by your mother to a loan shark to pay off a debt? If it weren’t for you, maybe she would have been found long ago.”

The girl with glasses: “You…”

The Lolita girl was too lazy to watch them argue and directly interrupted, “Alright, let’s continue to look for clues today. And we can’t be careless about the gift. For now, it seems that all of our gifts have to be replaced. But what can we replace them with to make the princess happy?”

Jiang Yu thought of Shi Jun’s gift, and then asked, “Could it be the opposite?”

Just like Shi Jun.

The princess hated complicated and gorgeous dresses, so the gift was simply changed to something with the completely opposite attribute.

The Lolita girl frowned. “But some people’s gifts can’t be used in this way.”

Or rather, besides Shi Jun’s gift, the others’ couldn’t really be used.

The Lolita girl bit her nails. “It seems that there must be some clues missing.”

The girl with glasses said, “Why don’t we follow our storyline?”

The Lolita girl looked at her.

The girl with glasses tried to analyze, “For example, in my story, it was because of my mother’s mistake that this beginning was caused… Why don’t I go to the princess and admit my mistake? After all, ‘I’ was still young at that time, and my mother’s mistake shouldn’t be too much of a burden on ‘me.’ But no matter what, ‘I’ owe the princess an apology. If I sincerely go to her, then can she…”

The Lolita girl said, “Then you can try. But if something goes wrong, no one will care about you.”

The girl with glasses’ face turned pale, and the thought of trying to take a step back quickly retreated.

No one had any other suggestions. After the Lolita girl finished speaking, the meeting was dismissed again.

Jiang Yu and Shi Jun walked outside. She thought for a moment. “Perhaps my gift should be a letter of repentance.”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“According to the story, ‘my’ father, Ansel, as the most loyal guard, betrayed his master. But the punishment he received was only being dismissed for failing to find someone. This is too light, and he didn’t bear the responsibility and punishment he should have. So I think, if I expose what he did, can it make the princess a little happier?”

A smile was on Shi Jun’s lips, and she didn’t deny Jiang Yu’s thought.

“You can give it a try.”

Jiang Yu’s lips curved.

Then she asked, “What about you?”

Shi Jun looked into the distance and didn’t answer this question. She just said, “If there are no surprises, today should be the time for the follow-up storyline to be revealed. At that time, who played what should also be clear.”

Jiang Yu nodded.

In fact, at this point, the identities of the remaining people were not difficult to guess.

Jiang Yu, on the contrary, was concerned about another matter. “Your identity has not been revealed yet. Could it be…”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you worried that I’m the one who took the princess?”

Jiang Yu nodded. After all, the golden hair in Shi Jun’s hand was too suspicious.

Shi Jun said, “Don’t worry. Even if that’s the case, I have a way.”

Since the other party had said so, Jiang Yu didn’t continue to ask.

They had originally planned to continue to ask the servants in other places for information, but just as they came out of the left palace, they saw someone running over in a panic.

Shi Jun grabbed a person. “What happened?”

The maid was so panicked that she didn’t have time to bow. She said breathlessly, “The third princess… the third princess, she…!”

The third princess?

Jiang Yu knew that this was Princess Lino’s daughter.

And Princess Lino was the beginning of the planning of all this.

Jiang Yu asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

The maid: “She was killed by the Ripper!”

Jiang Yu frowned. “The Ripper?”

The maid didn’t have time to answer. “I have to go and find the guard captain. You… you don’t run around!”

With that, she hurriedly left.

From the direction the maid came from, it could be seen that the other party had come from the garden.

The garden near their residence was the east garden, and from the maid’s clothes, it was obvious that she was a maid in the garden. So, the third princess was in the garden?

Jiang Yu was a little confused. “Why is there suddenly a Ripper now?”

A smile was on Shi Jun’s lips, and her eyes were filled with interest. “We’ll know if we go and see.”
