Chapter 508 Three Agreements
"What, you already know?!" Lord Lin almost jumped up in astonishment. "That's impossible. I've been very careful about keeping this a secret. How could anyone know except for me and Gao Qiu—"
Suddenly, Lord Lin slapped his forehead in regret. It must have been that young girl on the mountain who snitched. No wonder she willingly returned the musket; she had planned this all along.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing his regretful demeanor, the Second Miss touched his forehead to check his temperature. Finding it normal, she said in confusion, "So what if you went to Fairy Hall and Thousand-Forsake Peak? What's the big deal that you had to hide it from us?"
Not a big deal? Second Miss actually saw it that way? Seeing her smiling with no sign of anger, Lin Wanrong grabbed her small hand and chuckled. "Actually, I never intended to hide it from you. I was just worried you'd be concerned. Second Miss, how did you find out?"
Xiao Yushuang blushed slightly. "This morning, when we said goodbye to Mother and you left us, my sisters speculated that you must be sneaking off to meet a young lady."
‘What?! They guessed it just like that? Then what hope did I have for my future endeavors, considering I still had many young women expecting my help in their liberation?’ Lord Lin sighed in anguish, his face filled with despair.
"—But I don't think you're that frivolous," Second Miss declared firmly. "I told my sisters that you must have important business to attend to, and that's why you left in haste."
Lin Wanrong tightly clasped her hand, grateful tears in his eyes. "Thank you, Second Miss. It's said that one has many acquaintances in the world but only one true confidant. Only today do I realize that the person who understands me best in this world is none other than you."
