"I've heard that Wanbaozhai has added several new desserts recently. Would Miss Liu like to go there with Yan'er?"
Although Liu Rumei was extremely reluctant in her heart, she didn't show it at all. She nodded with a smile and said, "Your Highness, please lead the way."
A smile played on Ning Yan'er's face as she led the group to Wanbaozhai.
As soon as they sat down, Ning Yan'er personally poured a cup of tea and offered it to Liu Rumei. "Miss Liu, Yan'er came here today specifically to apologize to you."
A look of surprise flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. "Apologize?"
Ning Yan'er let out a soft sigh, her face full of remorse. "If it weren't for Yan'er insisting that Miss Liu help with the case, Miss Liu and the prince wouldn't have been in danger. It's all Yan'er's fault."
Liu Rumei said with a smile, "Your Highness, there's no need to blame yourself. This was just an unexpected incident."
After all, no one had expected that the Bai family would be hiding Lan Fang! And even less had they expected that Lan Fang and Lian Rui would join hands to set a trap for them.
Ning Yan'er shook her head with a melancholy look. "It's not like that. If it weren't for Yan'er insisting that Miss Liu help, Miss Liu probably wouldn't have been in danger, Young Master Bai wouldn't have been seriously injured, and Jin Mian wouldn't have..."
She had originally thought that Bai Hanfei and Zhang Lanfeng harbored hatred for Liu Rumei and would surely make things difficult for her. Although they couldn't punish her severely, they still had the ability to teach her a lesson. And there was also Bai Haoyu, who was bold and lustful. If these two could...
She had planned to secretly find an opportunity to help these two.
But she never expected things to turn out like this. Even her grandfather's family had suddenly suffered a disaster.
Liu Rumei took a sip of tea and sighed over Bai Jinmian. She also hadn't expected that Lan Fang would secretly send someone to attack Bai Jinmian.
"I wonder how the prince's injury is." Ning Yan'er let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with worry.
Liu Rumei's expression paused slightly. It seemed that this was what Ning Yan'er was really concerned about.
Seeing Liu Rumei sitting there calmly without saying a word, Ning Yan'er couldn't help but frown slightly. Generally speaking, shouldn't she comfort her a great deal? And then she could appeal to her emotions and reason, asking Liu Rumei to take her to see the prince?
But now, Liu Rumei remained silent. How could she continue her act?
Si Xi looked at her with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She still wanted to use Miss Liu to see the prince. How could she be so delusional?
Seeing the atmosphere fall into silence, Ning Yan'er gritted her teeth. "Yan'er is worried about the prince. Please, Miss Liu, let Yan'er see the prince. Yan'er will be extremely grateful."
These words made it seem as if Liu Rumei was the obstacle between the two of them.
"If Your Highness wants to see the prince, you can just go to the Guo'an Prince's Mansion. Why do you have to beg this little girl? This little girl is just a subordinate of the Guo'an Prince's Mansion. How could I have the ability to order the prince to see you?"
This Princess Anning really thought too highly of her kindness, didn't she?
Not to mention that she had attacked her many times. Just the fact that there was no friendship between them, and they could barely be considered rivals in love. She wasn't a fool to make things difficult for herself.
Ning Yan'er's face became even more aggrieved. "Yan'er has gone to the Guo'an Prince's Mansion many times, but the prince has always avoided seeing me. Maybe the prince is angry with Yan'er. Otherwise, why would Yan'er come to beg Miss Liu?"
Thinking of Uncle Zhang, Ning Yan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Every time she went, she would be stopped by him with various excuses. She was the noble Princess Anning. When had she ever been so embarrassed?
If not for this, why would she have set her sights on Liu Rumei?
She had originally thought that the Bai family could completely get rid of Liu Rumei, but instead, she had lost a pawn in vain!
Liu Rumei was speechless. Was Ning Yan'er determined to break through from her? Did she really look that stupid?
"If the prince doesn't see Your Highness even when you go in person, how could the prince listen to this little girl's words?"
Seeing that Liu Rumei still didn't give in, Ning Yan'er couldn't help but grit her teeth. What a scheming Liu Rumei! She must have bewitched the prince and prevented him from seeing her!
"Yan'er can only take a risk and try. Please help, Miss Liu. Whether it succeeds or not, Yan'er will be extremely grateful."
Liu Rumei was very annoyed. She thought Ning Yan'er was really being a nuisance. If she had known this, she shouldn't have gone out!
Si Xi behind her was so contemptuous that it was almost overflowing. How could this Princess Anning be so shameless?
Not to mention whether Miss Liu was willing to help. Even if Miss Liu told the prince, the prince probably wouldn't agree. Then, wouldn't this Princess Anning blame all the faults on Miss Liu again?
"Princess Anning, if the prince still doesn't want to see you, you can't blame this little girl."
For some reason, she had an inexplicable premonition that Mo Liandi wouldn't come to see Ning Yan'er.
Ning Yan'er's face immediately showed ecstasy. "I wouldn't dare. It would be great if Miss Liu is willing to help."
Liu Rumei nodded indifferently and immediately stood up. "Your Highness, this little girl will take her leave first."
Ning Yan'er had achieved her goal, so she naturally didn't try to keep her. She immediately said, "Take care, Miss Liu!"
After leaving Wanbaozhai, Si Xi's unhappy voice sounded in her ear. "Miss Liu, why did you agree to her? She clearly has bad intentions! She wants to steal the prince away!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei stumbled and her face was full of embarrassment. "What does it have to do with me?"
Mo Liandi was a person, not an object. If he could really be easily stolen away by Ning Yan'er, it would be better not to have him.
Seeing the embarrassment on Liu Rumei's face, Si Xi couldn't help but secretly hold back her laughter. "The prince has finally seen the light after enduring the darkness!"
Liu Rumei's face stiffened. She glared at Si Xi angrily. "If you say another word, I'll throw you to Ye Zhe!"
Presumably, Ye Zhe would be very willing.
Si Xi's smile immediately turned into panic. She quickly said, "No!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhe, who was hidden in the dark, raised his eyebrows. No?
Seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed across Liu Rumei's eyes. Si Xi had been getting more and more lawless recently. It seemed that only Ye Zhe could control her.
The two of them went to the yamen together. The yamen runner at the door immediately bowed and said, "Miss Liu, you're finally here!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumei immediately had a bad feeling. She tentatively asked, "Where is Lord Xue?"
"Lord Xue accidentally fell and got injured yesterday. He's lying at home now and can't move freely. So he specifically told this little one that the affairs of the yamen these days will be handed over to Miss Liu!"
Lord Xue was really good at predicting things. Miss Liu really came today!
Liu Rumei's face immediately darkened. She suddenly remembered the conversation between A Nan and Xue Zhan a few days ago. Could it be that he really...
"Where is Coroner Xiao?" Xiao Heyuan had always been Xue Zhan's right - hand man. Why didn't he hand it over to him?
