To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C92
Coincidentally, Xiang Rongcheng coincidentally met Li Mu on his way back. Seeing that the Third Prince seemed like he was going to look for Shi Anran, Xiang Rongcheng naturally did not allow it to go that smoothly.
“Young Master Xiang is really early!” Li Mu gave a gentle smile, with a bit of warmth on his face, yet this “so early” seemed to indicate something.
Xiang Rongcheng bowed in return and said with a smile, “Third Prince isn’t too late either.”
“Miss, this jade pendant must have come from Young Master Xiang!” Liu Yue picked up a jade from the back of the chair, looked at it, and sighed.
Shi Anran lightly swept a glance over it, and thinking that Xiang Rongcheng had just left, and should not have gone far, she instructed: “Take this opportunity while Young Master Xiang is still far away, quickly send him there.”
Shi Anran would never accept Xiang Rongcheng’s kind intentions, he could not give his the thing she wanted. She was well aware of what the jade pendant represented.
Liu Yue ran out and saw Xiang Rongcheng board a blue carriage from far away. Before she could stop him, Liu Yue saw him sitting in the carriage. Liu Yue covered her mouth in shock: “It’s Third Prince, did he come to see young miss?” No wonder why she felt that the carriage looked familiar, it was actually the Third Prince’s carriage. However … Why did the Third Prince leave with the Young Master Xiang?
Thinking about that, Liu Yue immediately turned around and ran back.
“Liu Yue, why are you still so rash!” Yi Yue couldn’t help but remind her.
“I do have something important to report to Miss!” Liu Yue did not even turn her head as she asked while running.
After Shi Anran heard his explanation, she couldn’t help but find it funny. It seemed like Third Prince could no longer hold it in and wanted to look for her so quickly, but even if he did come, Shi Anran would find an excuse to not see him. She would say it again after he had truly thought it through.
“Miss, why do you think the Third Prince left?” Liu Yue could not help but ask.
Hearing this, Shi Anran glanced at her in displeasure, then opened her lips and said, “It’s a big deal.”
Liu Yue pursed her lips together and lowered her head, “Yes, this servant knows my wrongs!”
Shi Anran shot a glance at her but did not say another word.
He couldn’t help but think in his heart: I wonder what Xiang Rongcheng would say if he were to stop Third Prince halfway …
Shi Anran smiled meaningfully. She was only waiting for Third Prince to look for her again.
In the carriage, Li Mu poured a cup of tea for Xiang Rongcheng. The latter started to savor it without any trace of politeness, and praised: “The tea is not bad …” However, compared to the one that Anran had personally soaked in, it was far worse, he said these words silently in his heart.
Li Mu took a sip of the tea and spoke gently: “Last time, Young Master Xiang saved Anran, which was equivalent to saving me, and has never found the chance to thank him properly.
“Then I’ll accept it. Moreover, to be able to receive Third Prince’s invitation is truly my great honor!” The two of them exchanged pleasantries.
pretended not to glance at the name of the restaurant. Unavoidably, he was surprised, Third Prince and Shi Anran had met at the Bright Moon Restaurant, and exchanged places with him. It seemed like Shi Anran was a special existence in the Third Prince’s heart. Thinking about it this way, Xiang Rongcheng felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, then he walked in, maintaining his composure.
Seeing that only alcohol was not seen after the meal, Xiang Rongcheng was slightly suspicious, and laughed: “Could it be that Third Prince is not good enough for wine?”
“Wine can be easy to deal with but it can also be misleading. The best way to do so is not to drink it. What does Young Master Xiang think?” he asked back.
Young Master Xiang replied with a smile, “How can a man stop drinking? Since today is the Third Prince’s welcome day, why don’t we just get drunk? ” After saying this, he called the waiter over for a drink. If he didn’t get drunk, how would he continue with the topic at hand?
The servant stood at the side in a daze, watching as Xiang Rongcheng continued drinking with Third Prince, the conversation between the two slowly shifting from normal interesting stories to women.
Xiang Rongcheng looked like he was already three-fifths drunk. Raising his head, he let out a light sigh, “Actually I’m rather envious of Third Prince. I’ve had a rich and beautiful woman by my side my whole life.
Li Mu had naturally heard about the relationship between Xiang Rongcheng and his. He put down the exquisite wine cup on his fingertips, smiled, and said: “Young Master Xiang has a clever and clever fiancée, which is indeed enviable!”
“Haha …” He laughed lightly and shook his head before speaking slowly, “Even though she is beautiful, I am unable to guess what she is thinking. The way she does things is really hard to understand.”
“Oh? What do you mean by that, Young Master Xiang? ” The Third Prince seemed to be interested, waiting for his next words with great interest.
After muttering to himself for a moment, Xiang Rongcheng then continued to speak: Last night, Anran met with a little person’s flirting, and coincidentally, I saved her just like that, so I wanted to teach her a lesson and let her go, but Anran was able to tell with a single glance that this little person must have received some sort of instruction, and only after ordering the guards to force him to confess did she find out, that this little person really received instructions from someone else. He calmly swept his gaze over Third Prince and continued to speak when he was unmoved: “How can a small girl not be alarmed when handling matters and be certain that I have come under the orders of another? Third Prince thinks that this is the only explanation? ”
“Was that true last night?” Li Mu had a look of surprise, and immediately started to praise Shi Anran. “Looks like Miss Anran is really special, ordinary women wouldn’t have the heart to ask such a despicable person about this matter, they would have already been scared to the point of losing color, Miss Anran’s courage to take a step from this superhuman person is truly admirable!”
Hearing this, Xiang Rongcheng was shocked, could it be that the proverbs he said was to lift a stone to smash his own foot?
“I’m afraid the Third Prince doesn’t know yet that the person who instigated this behind the scenes is actually the Second Miss of the Shi Family. This is really incomprehensible!”
“Their own sisters are also framing us like this, it really makes them ashamed.” How could Xiang Rongcheng not understand Shi Anyi’s thoughts, only this kind of unintelligent woman would do such a thing.
After that, Xiang Rongcheng told his how Shi Anran faked a request to add oil to the fire, but what he did not know was that this made Li Mu even more interested. Thinking back to yesterday afternoon at the Bright Moon Restaurant, Shi Anran’s conversation with him, and thinking back to Xiang Rongcheng’s words, Li Mu became even more interested in Shi Anran. Could this little girl really be his benefactor?
“Young Master Xiang is also a blessed person. In the future, being able to marry this young miss is a rare opportunity!” With a ‘whoosh’, Li Mu opened the fan in his hand and shook it leisurely.
On the other hand, Xiang Rongcheng was no longer calm, the more he tried, the more he felt that something was not right. As Xiang Rongcheng thought this, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. He shouldn’t have said these words on an impulse today.
After watching Xiang Rongcheng leave, Li Mu withdrew the smile on his face. A few complex thoughts flashed across his forehead, how could a weak girl like Shi Anran say those words to him? Was there someone behind her? However, he had tried to investigate, but found nothing.
If Shi Anran was a friend, then she was a noble. But if she was an enemy, then she was a strong opponent. It seemed that he had to be more cautious of Shi Anran, as long as he could make her her.
