Chapter 218: Scalding Invitation Card (2/2)
“In response to sire’s question, this servant’s Master is none other than the First Prince of the imperial clan. My Master doesn’t hold any malicious intent when inviting sire to the feast, please do not worry.”
Ying Lan’s eyes squinted slightly and asked in return, “Why don’t you tell me how a servant like you knows the intention of your Master?”
That attendant wasn’t embarrassed at all and instead, a smile blossomed on his face before he replied Ying Lan, “This one isn’t afraid of being laughed at. I have been serving His First Highness for quite a number of years, hence, I understand my Master rather well. My Master is the eldest son of the imperial clan and there are plenty of eyes monitoring him every day. They are watching his every move in order to find an opening to exploit. If my Master shows any malicious intent towards you, he won’t be doing so in public. There are plenty of people and too many mouths. I should avoid some topics and I hope sire knows what this servant is trying to say.”
Ying Lan looked at the invitation card and thought hard about whether he should accept.
It was as if the attendant had sensed Ying Lan’s hesitation as he immediately pushed the card closer to Ying Lan. “It is best for sire to accept it. This one still has to report back and if my Master doesn’t see me after waking up, things won’t be good for the both of us.”
A smile was still on the attendant’s face but it was so pretentious to the point where anyone could tell it was fake. The attendant was obviously trying to intimidate Ying Lan.
Ying Lan muttered for a moment before he reached out to receive the invitation card. “How can a nobody like me let down the First Prince’s kind intentions? I hope this young brother can report back to His First Highness that I will be there two days later. I hope the food will not disappoint me.”
Ying Lan had already accepted the invitation card and there was no change in the attendant’s expression. Of course, that was on the surface. In his heart, the attendant heaved a sigh of relief.
It’s more tiring to deal with this man than to deal with Master. After all, I know nothing about him. If I say something wrong and make him angry, I might even die without knowing the cause of my death.
“If that is the case, this servant shall no longer impose on sire. I shall return to the residence.”
After finishing his statement, the attendant bowed headed straight for the First Prince’s residence. Ying Lan was left standing in the hall and he looked at the back of the attendant, seemingly thinking of something.
