Guan Xin and Huang Lian were naturally unaware of Bai Tuantuan's thoughts.
"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. Zheng Yinrong also sent us an invitation, saying she's going to Erdong Restaurant to welcome you. Do you want to go?"
Guan Xin took out the post and handed it to Bai Tuantuan: "Over the years, she has helped us a lot. She and Xiao Ruyan have completely fallen out. She has been targeted by Xiao Ruyan several times. I don't know why. Xiao Ruyan is just an ordinary person, but she can gain the favor of many people."
Guan Xin shook her head: "Fortunately, it was all temporary. Those people were like they were possessed, including the Third Prince."
Huang Lian laughed: "Didn't we say we wouldn't mention it again?"
Guan Xin was taken aback, then stuck out her tongue: "Look at what I'm saying."
Bai Tuantuan understood and slowly said, "Don't pay attention to her, but we can still go to Zheng Yinrong's invitation. After all, going to Erdong Restaurant to eat is to make money for our family."
"Besides, we are friends with her."
Guan Xin nodded in agreement, and the three of them chatted while eating snacks.
Zheng Yinrong from the Zheng family was pacing anxiously: "Haven't we received a reply yet?"
Zheng Yinrong's maidservant sighed and whispered to comfort her, "Miss, there's no need to rush, there's still plenty of time!"
"Hmph." Zheng Yinrong snorted. "I think they've simply forgotten about me!"
The maid had no choice but to watch Zheng Yinrong sulk.
Fortunately, it didn't last too long.
A short while later, the gatekeeper arrived, followed by a second-class maid: "Miss, the Princess of Changning has sent you an invitation, inviting you to a gathering at the Bai family's residence tonight."
Zheng Yinrong's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up: "Quick, quick, help me get ready, we're going over now!"
After Zheng Yinrong changed her clothes, she came out and saw Madam Zheng.
"mother?"
Madam Zheng smiled and said, "Alright, I already know it was the county princess who invited you. Go through the back door."
Zheng Yinrong pouted: "Grandpa and Grandma won't let me go again?"
"There's nothing we can do about it," Madam Zheng sighed. "After all, our family and the Bai family have never had a good relationship. We're at odds with each other in the court. I just hope it won't affect your friendship."
The smile on Zheng Yinrong's face vanished, replaced by deep sorrow. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the words.
Madam Zheng tidied Zheng Yinrong's hair and said softly, "Go on. Since the county princess sent you an invitation, it means she still considers you a friend. You children shouldn't worry about adult matters."
Zheng Yinrong pursed her lips, nodded, and left through the back door.
Madam Zheng turned her head and took a few steps, and then she saw Zheng Rucai.
Zheng Rucai frowned deeply: "She went?"
Mrs. Zheng nodded.
Zheng Rucai sighed: "I know, don't tell Mom and Dad."
"My husband."
Seeing Zheng Rucai about to leave, Madam Zheng quickly went to greet him and said slowly, "Husband, can't you really try to persuade Father? The Prince of Ping's situation is really..."
"Stop talking." Zheng Rucai frowned. "I've already subtly advised him many times. Now that the Emperor is in good health and the Crown Prince is outstanding, how could Prince Ping possibly have a chance? Of all the things Prince Ping has done, which one has earned the approval of the ministers or the respect of the people?"
Zheng Rucai sighed heavily: "Although I don't have much ability, I have eyes to see clearly, and I think what the Second Prince said back then makes a lot of sense."
"Not everyone wants to sit in that position. They know their own capabilities. Even if they do get the job, they'll eventually be forced out if they lack the ability!"
"But Father doesn't understand, he's become obsessed!"
Madam Zheng's brows furrowed with worry: "But if things continue like this, the Emperor won't go easy on us."
Let's take it one step at a time.
Zheng Rucai took a few steps forward and stopped: "Perhaps, Rong'er is a turning point."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng immediately understood.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yinrong had already arrived at the Bai family's gate.
The door opened before I even knocked.
The white figure was revealed.
Zheng Yinrong was stunned, staring at Bai Tuantuan in shock: "You, Tuantuan?"
Bai Tuantuan smiled brightly: "Long time no see, Yinrong."
"Ahhh!" Zheng Yinrong screamed and rushed towards Bai Tuantuan, hugging her tightly. "It really is you! You're so beautiful, Tuantuan!"
Guan Xin and Huang Lian exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Tuantuan knew you'd arrive early, so she's been waiting for you," Huang Lian said with a smile. "Alright, go inside first."
The four people on this side were having a good time, while Xiao Ruyan was lying on the bed, waiting for Zhi'er to apply medicine to her.
Xiao Ruyan bit her lip hard, feeling the pain in her back, and took a deep breath.
Zheng Fangyu's soul is almost gone and cannot be used on the Lin family. She has to rely on her mother's soul to bind the Third Prince.
Yes, the Third Prince is the ultimate winner!
After Zhi'er finished applying the medicine, Xiao Ruyan got up and said, "Help me to Jinse Teahouse."
She opened Jinse Teahouse with her own money, and no one knew that she was the owner behind it.
The tea and snacks at Jinse Tea House are all made according to the Third Prince's preferences, which is why the Third Prince enjoys going to Jinse Tea House.
She was determined to take down the Third Prince today; she no longer wanted to be manipulated by the Lin family!
Thinking this, Xiao Ruyan disregarded her injuries and helped Zhi'er walk directly towards the door.
Zhi'er was a little worried: "What if the adults come and can't see Miss?"
“He won’t come,” Xiao Ruyan said, panting. Over the years, in order to make her life easier, she had used various means to buy many girls that Lord Lin liked.
There are many people younger than her; if it weren't for her social skills, she would probably have been abandoned long ago.
Therefore, Lord Lin has already found pleasure with her today, so he won't come again, since there are still many women he desires in the backyard.
Zhi'er said no more and helped Xiao Ruyan through the back door to Jinse Teahouse.
At this time, Jinse Teahouse did have some customers.
Xiao Ruyan went directly to the private room on the second floor, sat down, and began to wait.
Not long after, the Third Prince Mu Yangrun arrived at Jinse Teahouse with his guards.
Xiao Ruyan calculated the time and gestured for Zhi'er to open the door.
She straightened her clothes, revealing her scarred shoulder, and rushed out.
"ah!"
Xiao Ruyan gasped in surprise, raising her tear-filled eyes.
His pitiful appearance made Mu Yangrun's heart tremble violently.
Xiao Ruyan then quickly recited the secret incantation, and Zheng Fangyu's last drop of soul completely dissipated!
Mu Yangrun looked at Xiao Ruyan with a hint of lust in his eyes: "Miss Xiao? What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ruyan began to cry softly.
Although Xiao Ruyan's appearance wasn't particularly beautiful, she had a delicate and pretty face, and her pitiful look easily aroused men's protective instincts.
Mu Yangrun did just that, taking Xiao Ruyan directly to his private room: "Has anyone bullied you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"
Xiao Ruyan raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes filled with longing: "Third Prince, you are so kind..."
With that alluring voice, Mu Yangrun could no longer resist and embraced Xiao Ruyan, biting her lips...
