A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family Chapter 139: Dream

Chapter 139: Dream

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu had the same dream again.

In her dream, she returned to the military camp. Every day, a man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly rode beside her, practicing archery and whipping.

Yuan Shu had been having this same dream for many days.

She blamed this dream on the script that Mu Zhou had told her about, but in fact, Yuan Shu had had such a dream the night she met Mu Zhou on a spring outing in Lakeside Park. However, she quickly forgot about it.

Yuan Shu was very familiar with the script that Mu Zhou was talking about. The main reason was that the female lead in the script seemed to be Yuan Shu herself. From her personality to her birth and family background, it was almost exactly the same. The only difference was that Yuan Shu didn’t remember someone like a literary scholar appearing beside her, but the person she married back then was indeed the top martial arts scholar.

However, Yuan Shu’s intuition had always been sharper than others. The existence of this literary scholar felt familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember him no matter what. It was as if something flashed across her mind and she wanted to grab it, but she couldn’t.

When she woke up, the sky was already dim. Yuan Shu wasn’t in the mood to sleep anymore, so she packed up and went to the garden to exercise.

Yuan Shu put on a comfortable tracksuit. When she went downstairs, she realized that she wasn’t the only one who woke up early today. s.h.i.+ Lu was also wearing a tracksuit and drinking water in the living room.

When he saw Yuan Shu, he picked up a clean cup and poured her a gla.s.s of warm water. “Sister-in-law, why are you up so early today?”

Yuan Shu took the water. “You’re up early too.” Then, she drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

“I received a call from Zhang Chao last night. I didn’t sleep well the entire night. Since you woke up so early, let’s discuss it together.”

Yuan Shu put down the gla.s.s of water with an impa.s.sive expression and walked out. “Let’s talk while running.”

Recently, perhaps because she had too many dreams, Yuan Shu felt very tired when she woke up in the morning and she wasn’t in the mood to communicate with others, let alone put on a smile. However, s.h.i.+ Lu was already used to her cold expression.

After a simple warm-up, Yuan Shu ran out first. s.h.i.+ Lu followed closely behind and began to talk about the conversation between Zhang Chao and him last night.

“w.a.n.g Shen looked for Zhang Chao yesterday and the two of them talked about the content of the new drama in detail. w.a.n.g Shen wants me to be the top scholar of the martial arts examination. Actually, I’m a little tempted by this role.” s.h.i.+ Lu emphasized, “Of course, it’s just a little!”

Yuan Shu looked straight ahead and said calmly, “If you’re interested, then act. If you don’t want to, then reject it. Isn’t this your usual way of doing things? What’s there to be conflicted about now?”

s.h.i.+ Lu touched the tip of her nose with her index finger and took a deep breath before continuing, “The main thing is, w.a.n.g Shen said that he hopes that you can act as the female lead in this role. If you can act as the female lead, of course I’ll be tempted. I can act with you! But if you don’t want to, this role won’t be very attractive to me!”

After saying that, s.h.i.+ Lu looked at Yuan Shu eagerly, like a golden retriever who wanted its master to play games with it and was staring at its master with its watery eyes.

Yuan Shu ignored him and continued to run forward. s.h.i.+ Lu even suspected that Yuan Shu didn’t hear what she said just now, but Yuan Shu suddenly said, “Let’s talk to w.a.n.g Shen today. If he wants me to act, he has to tell me in person.”

s.h.i.+ Lu immediately smiled happily. It seemed like there was a chance! “Alright, I’ll get Zhang Chao to contact him immediately!”

With that, s.h.i.+ Lu stopped in his tracks and turned around to make a call.

Firstly, Yuan Shu was willing to agree to act because she was indeed interested in this scene. It was as if this scene was specially designed for her. That familiarity made her want to try acting.

The second reason was s.h.i.+ Lu. Previously, when Zheng Yan posted a video to frame s.h.i.+ Lu, w.a.n.g Shen helped make a statement without hesitation. Logically speaking, she owed him a favor. Yuan Shu hated owing people favors the most, so if she accepted the role, she could treat it as repaying the favor..
