Chapter 37: Stunning
Mo Youyou stared at the familiar figure squeezed into the crowd and muttered, ”It's Ah De…What could a waiter like him do? Why is he joining in the commotion as well? ”
”Mo Youyou, if you continue to talk, do you believe that I will throw you down?!”
Mo Youyou looked at the Helian Yi speechlessly, what kind of world was this? How could this Prince Jing be so violent! In the years that she lived in the previous life as an a.s.sa.s.sin, she had never seen such a cold and overbearing man!
Ah De squeezed into the crowd, pulling the manager he asked,
”What's going on?”
The manager replied with a look of sadness. ”Five days ago, Lily sent someone to deliver a letter to say that she would arrive late today. However, a few hours had already pa.s.sed, and she still hasn't appeared.
Formerly, Lily thought that she would be delayed due to her private matters and would quickly rush over. But her servant, Qiu Xiang, suddenly came over and said that her Young Miss was suffering from grave illness and wouldn't be able to come.”
Ah De understood what was going on, and squeezed out of the crowd with his brows knitted together. If Lily did not come today, then his plans to a.s.sa.s.sinate Xiao Lin would not work! After waiting for a long time, he was finally able to make use of this subst.i.tute appearance of his to deal with his royal brother. If he missed out on this great opportunity, he would have to wait another year.
Xiao Lin was a l.u.s.tful person who liked to drink and laugh, but despite those traits, he had always been a threat to his position as the Crown Prince. Therefore, Xiao Zhai wanted to take this opportunity to finish him off.
Mo Youyou stood on the third floor. Seeing that Xiao Zhai's expression was a little heavy, she couldn't help but stretch out her head and wave at Xiao Zhai who was below, ”Hey! Ah De! Ah De! ”
Xiao Zhai, who was in a daze, heard the familiar voice, raised his head to look, a glimpse of shock flas.h.i.+ng past his eyes. He immediately retracted his gaze and headed straight for the third floor.
Helian Yi shot a glance at the excited Mo Youyou at his side, and warned her coldly: ”Pay attention to your ident.i.ty!”
Mo Youyou could only retract her expression and obediently stand next to Helian Yi like a small follower as she watched Xiao Zhai get closer and closer to them.
”Mo You, why did you suddenly leave yesterday? The shopkeeper couldn't find you, and ordered me to look for you the whole day.”
Hearing Xiao Zhai's teasing, Mo Youyou felt a little embarra.s.sed. If not for this man by her side, she would not have left without even greeting him!
Laughing at Xiao Zhai, Mo Youyou explained anxiously: ”Hehe, Ah De, I suddenly had a stomachache yesterday, so I had to hurry back. Sorry for the trouble. Oh, right, what happened over there? Why hasn't that beauty appeared yet? ”
”I'm afraid she won't be able to come today.”
Hearing Xiao Zhai's words, Helian Yi raised his head and gestured for him to enter his room. Xiao Zhai turned his head and looked downstairs, and then followed Helian Yi into the ”Wing” room. Leaving Mo Youyou outside who,
continued to watch the lively crowd on the first floor.
Helian Yi asked Xiao Zhai, ”What's going on?”
”Lily's servant came over, saying that she was suffering from an old illness.”
”What about your plan?”
”I'll think about it!” Pausing for a moment, Xiao Zhai peered outside the door and saw Mo Youyou's back. Noticing that it looked remarkably similar to his, he turned to look at Helian Yi.
”Can I borrow the young master by your side for two hours?”
”Xiao Zhai, don't tell me that you don't know that she's a woman?!”
Xiao Zhai scoffed, placed a hand on his chin, and unveiled a sly smile, ”Of course I know! I also know that she is a woman of unparalleled beauty. Her looks are not any inferior to Lily!”
”So you're after her?”
”Prince Jing is indeed a smart person! I will only borrow her from you for two hours. After that, she will be Prince Jing's woman again! Furthermore, if Xiao Lin died, it would surely be beneficial for Prince Jing!
