Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Conspiracy of the Three Women [Please Bookmark, Recommend]

Behold my Time Travel Technique — Time Reversal!

Hmm, actually it’s just going back to the time right after Lu Xiaobu finished dinner and just went upstairs to sleep.

The three ladies, led by Zhou Jingyuan, quietly went to the bottom of the stairs, whispering among themselves.

”Hey, are you really not curious about ’A Chinese Odyssey’?”

Zhou Jingyuan said softly.

”What can we do? Young Master won’t spill the beans.”

Liang Lan was itching with curiosity.

While Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan were merely curious, Liang Lan was in this kind of business. How could she not be moved by seeing such a masterful plan?

”That’s right, Xiaobu is so annoying!”

Wu Qianmin nodded in agreement.

”Tonight, we... er!”

Zhou Jingyuan raised her eyebrows playfully and mischievously suggested.

”Tonight, what do you plan to do?”

Liang Lan was shocked; this little firecracker was too daring!

But then again, it made sense. After all, this firecracker had shared a room with the Young Master before. It was only natural for her to be so bold.

”Do nothing much! Just...” The firecracker revealed an evil grin, and with one hand made a circle then moved it up and down: ”Tie up his arms and legs, and since he wanted us to use our hands, let’s give him a little tease, if he doesn’t talk, heh heh!”

”Aiya! What are you even saying!”

Wu Qianmin’s face instantly turned a fiery red.

Among the three women, she was the most innocent.

Even Liang Lan, though, was blushing with embarrassment at the devilish suggestion.

”Are you in or out? If not, I’m going alone!”

Zhou Jingyuan was actually a bit embarrassed too, but still tried to maintain her composure.

”No way!”

Liang Lan and Wu Qianmin immediately replied instinctively.

They couldn’t let the little firecracker go alone; who knew what might happen?

If they... if by any chance... they did that, it would be a huge loss!

”Let’s go together, together.”

Just then, a voice reached their ears.

The three women looked at each other, wondering who was speaking.

Looking up, they saw Lu’s father at the top of the stairs, nodding frantically at them.

”Lu...Uncle...Lu... we...”

Whoosh—

The three women’s faces instantly turned big apple red, so red they almost bled.

This kind of thing, being overheard by Uncle Lu...

They were mortified!

It was like being caught in flagrante delicto, but with three people at once.

”It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ve been through it all, I understand.” Uncle Lu quickly reassured, then looked around and whispered, ”I’ll tell you! Xiaobu’s sleep habits are different from others; he falls into a deep sleep very quickly.”

”So you must go half an hour after he falls asleep, that’s when he’s sound asleep. Don’t wait until midnight or the wee hours like others, because by that time Xiaobu will be in light sleep and any little noise could wake him up.”

Lu’s father, in the capacity of a concerned father, unhesitatingly betrayed his son’s secrets to the three women!

The three ladies listened with red faces and ears, but couldn’t help listening attentively.

After Lu’s father had finished speaking, he gestured the ’good luck’ sign to the women: ”Go, in about ten minutes it should be good, fight on!”

The ladies’ faces turned even redder!

After Lu’s father left.

”Did you... did you... hear that?”

The little firecracker stammered due to embarrassment: ”Since Uncle Lu said so, you guys better... better decide quickly if we’re going or not.”

”Go! We’re going!”

Liang Lan was ready to take the plunge; she couldn’t let the firecracker go alone.

She was there to watch over her, yes, just to keep an eye on her.

She found herself a very good reason.

”I’m going too!”

Seeing that, Wu Qianmin also exclaimed eagerly.

They were all bad, both were going - if she, who had received the Inheritance, didn’t go, it wouldn’t be right!

Eh, it seems that Xiaobu took my Inheritance and hasn’t returned it to me yet.

Hmm, this silly girl finally remembered about the inheritance.

”Alright then, we all agree, no one is allowed to feel sorry for Lu Xiaobu!”

Little Hot Pepper raised her hand to high-five!

”Okay!”

Liang Lan bit her red lips to seal the pact with a high-five!

”En!”

Wu Qianmin blushed and completed the pact with a high-five!

...

Following the guidance of Lu’s father, the three girls quietly waited for ten minutes before, with bent backs like thieves, they stealthily approached Lu Xiaobu’s room.

Although the three girls were very cautious, their half-baked stealth skills were no match for Zhang Meng and Li Jin.

Therefore...

As Zhang Meng stood guard on the night shift, he slightly turned his eye, revealing a meaningful smile, then looked straight ahead once more, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Li Jin, who was sleeping, got up and quietly opened the door, wanting to see what was happening.

As soon as his head popped out, Zhang Meng pushed it back in: ”Go to sleep, it’s none of your business.”

”Oh.”

Li Jin helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Although his strength was now greater than Zhang Meng’s, there was no negotiating when it came to Zhang Meng dealing with him.

The three girls were unaware of what had transpired and were quite proud, thinking they were undiscovered.

Finally, the three girls reached their destination—the doorway to Lu Xiaobu’s room.

Once they opened this door, their plan would officially begin.

However, at this moment, all three girls were somewhat breathless and weak-kneed.

Too shy!

”Shall we... just forget it?”

Liang Lan started to get cold feet.

”No way, we can’t give up. If you two won’t go, I’ll go in alone. Then I’ll just conveniently sleep inside and see what you do.”

Little Hot Pepper threatened viciously, though she was also feeling weak herself.

”Let’s go!”

Wu Qianmin immediately said.

She was threatened.

”Okay! Once we’re inside, no one is allowed to speak!”

Zhou Jingyuan instructed.

The two girls nodded their heads.

Zhou Jingyuan used Liang Lan’s key to unlock the door.

”Click!”

Then she silently pushed open the door.

Lu Xiaobu’s sleeping figure was immediately in front of the three girls.

Their hearts raced wildly, each with a flushed face gasping for air.

Zhou Jingyuan signalled with her eyes, the other two girls nodded, pursed their red lips, crouched on the floor, and stealthily moved towards the bed, or rather, inched forward.

It was just a few short meters.

But their journey was one filled with trepidation.

Their hearts pounding, it felt exhilarating like they were stealing something!

With every step, they had to pause, encourage each other with their eyes, and then cautiously scan their surroundings.

Sometimes, Lu Xiaobu turning over in his sleep would scare the girls into lying flat on the ground, motionless.

One step, another step, and yet another!

A distance that would ordinarily take only a few steps to cover, they torturously inched over in ten minutes.

Finally!

The three girls were each in position.

Zhou Jingyuan was the boldest, positioning herself near the window at the southern side of the bed.

Liang Lan stood ready at the foot of the bed.

And Wu Qianmin, the most timid girl, chose the closest position at the northern side of the bed.

The three girls looked at Lu Xiaobu, who was sound asleep in bed, and revealed a triumphant yet shy smile.

Their plan was going smoothly thus far!

Next was to get serious!

Go for it!
