The next day, Hongshi took Ruan Meiying out in a carriage. Not only them, Linlang also got up early. She planned to go to the Fujin's place again, under the pretext of paying her respects, to try and get the Fujin to deal with Ruan Meiying. After all, she was alone and powerless, and besides, Hongshi had been doting on Ruan Meiying lately, so dealing with Ruan Meiying would be quite difficult.

Just as she was about to leave, Magpie came into the house and said to her, "Master, the people we sent to keep an eye on Ruan Meiying just reported that Prince Beile took Ruan Meiying out, saying that he wanted to go for a walk."

Hearing Magpie's words, Linlang angrily slammed the teacup on the table to the ground: "The Prince always takes me with him when he goes out, but that bitch Ruan Meiying! She's only been here a short time and she's already managed to get the Prince to take her out to play. If we don't teach her a lesson, one day she'll be able to climb all over me and act like a tyrant!" After saying that, she looked up at Magpie and said, "Magpie, bring me paper and pen! This bitch is pushing me so hard, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Although Linlang harbored resentment towards Ruan Meiying, she was still the Eighth Prince's woman. She hadn't forgotten the task the Eighth Prince had given her. She wrote to the Eighth Prince in detail about Hongshi's recent movements, including how Ruan Meiying had been bewitching Hongshi. She hadn't seen Hongshi for a long time, and she was sure that the Eighth Prince would take action after seeing this letter.

Of course, she also had her own plans. Ruan Meiying's appearance hindered her position in Hongshi's heart and made it difficult for her to gather information for the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince couldn't ignore it once he found out. It would take some time to win over the Fujin. If the Eighth Prince made a move against Ruan Meiying first, Ruan Meiying would probably be in grave danger. In that case, she wouldn't need to ask the Fujin for help.

After finishing the letter, Linlang handed it to Xique and then went to the Fujin's courtyard with her entourage. Until she received a reply from the Eighth Prince, she would have to rely on herself.

After Hongshi took Ruan Meiying out, he first took her to stroll along the most bustling street in the capital for a while. Ruan Meiying appeared to be very happy, but in her heart she was looking for an opportunity to go to Baixianglou to see Ruan Dafeng.

After strolling around for a while, Ruan Meiying saw that it was almost time, so she asked Hongshi, "Master, are you hungry? We've been out for quite a while now, and Meiying is getting a little hungry. Let's go eat!"

Hongshi wasn't hungry at first, but after hearing her say that, he suddenly felt a little hungry, so he nodded and asked the driver to find a restaurant to stop and eat.

Ruan Meiying continued, "Master, I've heard there's a very good restaurant nearby called Baixianglou. I'd like to go check it out, is that alright?"

Hongshi said, "Really? Baixianglou? I've never heard of it before. Is it newly opened?"

“Since you’ve never been before, why not give it a try this time and go see it?” Ruan Meiying said.

Hongshi thought what she said made sense, and seeing how much she wanted to go, he nodded in agreement.

Ruan Meiying was secretly delighted. Things were progressing too smoothly. All she had to do was tell her brother the information she had received, and the plan would be a complete success.

Hongshi never imagined that Ruan Meiying went to Baixianglou not to eat, but to find her brother Ruan Dafeng. Of course, Ruan Meiying would not allow them to meet, because once Hongshi recognized Ruan Dafeng, everything would be over.

The two strolled around the streets for a while longer before getting into a carriage and heading to Baixianglou.
