Chapter 93: Schemed Agains (1/2)

Bai Luochu nodded absently as she thought of a plan to return the plate of desserts to her cousin.

When Cai Ling saw that Bai Luochu was deep in thought, she interrupted her, “Mistress, you better eat something. Now that our situation is much better than before, you don’t have to be so troubled. It will not be good for your stomach if the food gets cold.”

“Cai Ling, are you familiar with the people in the kitchen?” Bai Luochu ignored Cai Ling’s suggestion and inquired.

“I am familiar with one of them. Is there a problem with the food?” Cai Ling understood that her mistress was probably scheming against someone again. She knew that she shouldn’t be curious but she couldn’t help but ask.

“Then do you know when my cousin usually eats her desserts?” Bai Luochu continued to ask.

“The young lady generally has some tea and desserts after her dinner. This servant just learned of this today.” Cai Ling spoke with confidence and it was obvious that this information was very reliable.

Bai Luochu nodded and continued to instruct Cai Ling. “When you return to the kitchen, replace her dessert with these cakes. Be careful. Make sure no one sees you.”

Cai Ling nodded and acknowledged the order.

Since her cousin was in such a hurry to scheme against Bai Luochu, she couldn’t blame anyone for falling into the trap she dug.

On the next morning, when Cai Ling delivered breakfast, she brought along the news related to Bai Luochu’s cousin.

“Mistress, the Young Lady has been running to the toilet for the entire night! Lord uncle and madam invited plenty of physicians and all of them said that she ate an excess of croton seeds. There isn’t any cure for it and she can only endure the pain during this period of time. Mistress, is this part of your scheme?” Cai Ling became softer and softer as she was afraid someone might overhear their conversation.

“Nope. She made the dessert and brought them over to me. Since she gave them to me, I had to get rid of them some way or another. I returned them all to her last night… I had nothing to do with the croton seeds.” Bai Luochu ate her breakfast as she calmly explained herself. It was as though she was completely unrelated to the matter.

Cai Ling suddenly realized that her mistress was revealing a part of her fox tail.

The cousin clearly knew about the cause behind her suffering. However, she didn’t seem repentant at all. Instead, she noted down everything in her heart and prepared to take revenge on Bai Luochu.

Due to the fact that no one came to provoke her, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, allowing her to advance further.

In the end, none of them seemed to have learned their lesson as someone came to deliver themselves up for humiliation.

“Young Lady Luo Chu, my Young Lady says that the weather is great today. After recuperating for the past few days, she feels rather bored. She invites you to take a trip to the lake to admire the koi fishes. What do you think about joining her?”

Since someone was trying to entertain her, there was no reason for her not to go. Bai Luochu immediately replied to that servant girl, “Tell your Young Lady that I will go over after I make some preparations.”
