Chapter 33 A Fateful Marriage: A Planned Premeditated One

Who is crying and sobbing?

Prince Yan walked over with two maids in pink. Seeing that Shen Yu's long dress was wet, he sneered and said, "Ha! This is such a small matter. Princess Yanghua, don't make a big fuss about it. Just have Yao'er take Yu Yu to change her clothes, that will be fine."

At this moment, Liu Yao'er stood up with the help of two maids in pink, her head hanging low and complaining, "Prince Yan, please send a maid to take Miss Chenyu to change her clothes. I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

After Liu Yao'er left, Chen Yu had no choice but to follow two maids in pink to change her clothes, with the plump nanny and Jiu'er following behind.

The group entered a secluded courtyard, where a sign for the changing room hung on the door of the west wing.

Two maids in pink pushed open the door and led Chenyu, the fat nanny, and Jiu'er into the room.

Upon entering, there is a clothes rack, with screens on both sides, presumably the dressing area. There is also a dressing table in the corner, with a teapot and teacups on the table.

Shen Yu asked in confusion, "Why is there tea in the dressing room?"

"Replying to Miss Chenyu, it is early autumn and the weather is still hot... My lady has specially instructed that tea should be prepared in all rooms for guests to drink."

After speaking, the maid in pink stepped back and stood at the door.

The plump old woman opened the bundle and took out the clothes she had brought, while Jiu'er helped Chenyu walk behind the screen.

Bang!

The door was closed, and the two maids in pink were gone.

The plump old woman hurriedly tried to pull the door open, but it was already locked.

"Young lady, we've probably fallen into a trap."

"Quickly find the exit. There are windows on both sides. Fat Granny, go and take a look to the north."

As Jiu'er spoke, she walked to the south wall, pushed open the window, and a plume of white smoke billowed in, with a very strong smell, as did the fat nanny's.

Shen Yu was filled with regret. This was premeditated, and she could only blame herself for being careless and falling into the trap.

The Zuo family has many courtyards, including an unused small courtyard next to the competition venue. Why would they allow guests to change clothes in such a secluded courtyard?

"Girl, the smoke is poisonous."

"girl……"

Jiu'er and the fat nanny fainted on the ground.
