Yan Jiu was annoyed that he seemed to have said something wrong.

Xiao Tang could sense the atmosphere between the young couple; even their complaints were inexplicably sweet.

She was forced to eat dog food every day.

"She's waiting here to lure me out."

From the moment she entered the restaurant, this woman was trying to get her to meet her.

But what exactly does the proprietress want to do?

She really couldn't guess.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Tang told the two men that they had to act in a play with her...

...

Inside the restaurant.

The proprietress fiddled with her slender fingers, and only when she saw the waiter return did she ask, "Has the person left?"

"Your Majesty, the person has left. But what use is this Regent's Consort?"

"It'll be very useful." The woman toyed with her fingers, her voice casual. "I just wonder if this woman can bring me any surprises?"

Knowing his wife's thoughts and usual manner, the waiter didn't dare to ask any more questions and silently withdrew.

The woman put her hand down.

They also stopped looking at it.

Her gaze fell on the window, and a murderous glint appeared in her eyes.

...

The next day, Xiao Tang received a message from the waiter saying that there was news from Jiangnan.

She slowly arrived at the restaurant.

Before she could even step inside, Ruyi called out to her, "Your Highness, this servant broke a vase early this morning. Today is an ominous sign!"

Having followed Xiao Tang for so long, she had developed this inexplicable sensitivity.

Xiao Tang teased her, "Wow, you've been exposed to metaphysics so much that you've even picked it up."

Ruyi shook her head.

That's not what she meant!

Good night
