Listening to these blatant humiliations, Xu Xiuyi's maid Mei Zhu was so angry that she wiped her with a handkerchief and cursed -
"What are you doing? This is a private room reserved by my young lady. You can't book it yourself. You want to steal our private room and bully others!"
The girl who was called the county head suddenly turned cold and said: "You bitch, when will it be your turn to accuse the county head of the clan? Your master doesn't even dare to be presumptuous in front of the county head! Come on, slap me!"
She waved her hand, and the two maids following behind her went up to tear the plum beads apart.
Xu Xiuyi suddenly turned cold and slapped the table: "That's enough!"
The cold aura on her body suddenly turned harsh, shocking the group of chattering girls.
Xu Xiuyi looked at the leading girl with an expressionless face: "Mr. Anning, if you want this private room, I will give it to you."
After that, she got up and led Mei Zhu away.
Look, these are the noble ladies of the capital. She has encountered enough cynicism these days, and she really has no interest in dealing with them!
I'll ask Mei Zhu to go to Concubine Ming's house to confess to Sister Ming, and then we can meet at another place.
However, Anning County Lord suddenly stood in front of her, raised his eyes to look at her, and said contemptuously: "Xu, since you are destined to marry that despicable foreign businessman, you should just be your despicable wife, and don't think that you can still cling to her."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xu Xiuyi paused and said calmly: "I have never thought of clinging to His Highness the Crown Prince."
If she remembered correctly, ever since the news spread that the Crown Prince was choosing a new Crown Princess, the Anning County Lord had become more active and had been very rude to other noble ladies who hoped to become Crown Princess.
The Lord of Anning County lowered his voice and sneered: "You'd better be like this, don't think that clinging to His Highness the Crown Prince will change your fate of marrying a lowly businessman!"
Xu Xiuyi said coldly: "Are you finished? I'll leave after I finish speaking."
The mayor of Anning County was immediately furious. She gritted her teeth and warned in a low voice again: "If you let me know that you dare to seduce the prince, believe it or not, you won't be able to survive in the capital until you get married...
"What are you doing here?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded.
When County Lord An Ning saw the tall figure standing at the door, his face instantly turned pale and red, and he bowed shyly and uneasily: "An Ning has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
All the ladies saluted: "Your Highness."
Seeing that the originally fierce-looking ladies suddenly turned into shy little girls one by one, Xu Xiuyi twitched the corners of her lips and saluted accordingly.
Shangguan Zhou smiled slightly: "You ladies, you are of normal height. This is outside the palace, so there is no need to be so restrained."
Then, he seemed to see Xu Xiuyi's embarrassment at a glance, and instantly frowned: "Miss Xu, what's wrong with you?"
The Lord of Anning County froze, and then looked at Xu Xiuyi coldly and warningly.
Xu Xiuyi was not interested in performing the "Chu Chu pitifully complains" drama with the culprit, and just said expressionlessly: "It's nothing."
However, Shangguan Zhou glanced at the An Ning County Lord indifferently: "My little daughter is a gentle and graceful person, and she joins forces to bully innocent people. I don't want to see it happen a second time."
The Lord of Anning County froze for a moment, biting his lip and trying to explain: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The eunuch beside Shangguan Zhou had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since this private room belongs to Miss Xu, it would be better for you ladies to find another place."
Anning County Lord glared at Xu Xiuyi with shame and anger, silently cursed "bitch", then stamped his feet and left the room with a group of little girls.
When Xu Xiuyi saw this, she pursed her lower lip. Now it was better. These girls hated her even more because of the prince.
Shangguan Zhou looked at Xu Xiuyi, who was all wet, and then looked at Mei Zhu: "Does your lady have some clothes in the car? Go get them for her to change."
Mei Zhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
When official ladies travel, they will most likely have a set of clothes in the car, just in case.
Xu Xiuyi frowned slightly, why is this prince pretending to be a good person here?
She just said politely: "Thank you, Your Highness, but there is no need to go to such trouble. My daughter can just take the carriage home."
Shangguan Zhou said calmly: "Miss Xu went out with a tea-soaked look, not only to make other people laugh, but if Mr. Xu saw it, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken."
Xu Xiuyi was stunned and looked at Shangguan Zhou hesitantly and warily.
Shangguan Zhou chuckled lightly, turned around and ordered the manager of Qingyun Tea House who followed him: "Prepare hot tea for Miss Xu again, watch the private room, and don't let anyone break in again."
After saying that, he turned around and led the attendant downstairs.
Seeing this, Mei Zhu said: "Miss, there are so many people watching here at Qingyun Tea House. It should be okay. I'll go get some clothes for you to change into."
Xu Xiuyi didn't want her parents to worry, so she nodded: "Okay."
Mei Zhu looked at the two little maids who came with her: "You have taken good care of the young lady. If something goes wrong again, you will know the consequences!"
The female shopkeeper of Qingyun Teahouse smiled bitterly on the side: "Don't worry, gentlemen, I'm definitely optimistic about it!"
Alas, noble ladies are jealous, which makes them unhappy in business.
After saying that, the female shopkeeper immediately asked someone to clean it again and brought new hot tea.
Until Mei Zhu brought up the clothes again and helped Xu Xiuyi change clothes and fix her hair, the prince did not see any other actions.
When I inquired, I found that the prince had already left.
Xu Xiuyi relaxed and sat there drinking a cup of tea. She heard the faint sound of Anning County Lord and others making noise in the next door because they were stopped outside the door.
Her eyebrows were furrowed, and it looked like Qingyun Teahouse was in a state of shock.
She simply stood up, led Mei Zhu and the maids downstairs, returned to her carriage, and ordered Mei Zhu——
"Meizhu, you go and wait at the door of the tea shop. Sister Ming will come soon. Ask her not to get off the carriage. Let's go drink tea somewhere else."
Mei Zhu nodded: "Yes."
Mei Zhu went to the door of the tea shop and waited for Ming Lanruo's carriage.
After a while, she saw the carriage from Concubine Ming's Mansion approaching. Mei Zhu immediately got up and said what Xu Xiuyi told her beside the carriage.
Both carriages turned around and went in another direction.
In Qingyun Tea House, I heard that both of their carriages had left.
The prince sat in the box, looked at the female shopkeeper of Qingyun Tea House, and smiled: "Did she drink the tea sent to Miss Xu?"
The female shopkeeper nodded without knowing why: "Go back to your highness and drink."
Eunuch Tang, who was beside the prince, waved his hand to her: "Go down."
The female shopkeeper then turned and left.
The prince looked at the small glass bottle on the table, only a little bit of dark green potion was left, and whispered: "I hope this thing from Chu Yuanbai is really useful."
Eunuch Tang said flatteringly: "King Xiao Jingnan can tell at a glance that Your Highness has been poisoned. This thing will definitely work. Miss Xu will definitely be devoted to you. Haven't you tried it once with a strange woman before?"
A few days after the casually kidnapped woman was drugged, she fell in love with the prince as soon as she saw him and wanted to crawl into his bed.
Moreover, when people are sane, this kind of poison is much better than some low-grade aphrodisiac.
The prince gave the glass bottle to Eunuch Tang with a bit of disgust——
"According to what Chu Yuanbai said, it will take a few days for a woman to have an attack after eating this thing, so prepare yourself. In a few days, it will be Concubine Xian's chrysanthemum appreciation feast."
At that time, everyone will see how much Xu Xiuyi "favors" him, and even regrets the marriage for him, which is enough to disgrace the Xu family who does not know how to praise!
At that time, the Xu family can only ask him to marry Xu Xiuyi and go back.
"Since you don't want to be a royal concubine, then just be a bitch concubine. Most women in this world are really bitches and have no shame." The prince sneered.
Ming Yueying is like this, Xu Xiuyi is like this, and even Ming Lanruo is like that!
Eunuch Tang smiled and said, "Your Highness is right."
The prince thought for a while, waving his fan and sneered: "If Xu Xiuyi takes it, I will ask Chu Yuanbai for another new medicine next time, and try to find a way to make Ming Lanruo take it."
She and Xu Xiuyi have a good relationship. If they both "fall in love" with him, the scene will be very interesting.
Jealousy among women is the most vicious thing. Ming Lanruo might kill Xu Xiuyi with her own hands when the time comes.
