Not only Yunhe, but even Qian Youxue suspected that there was something fishy about suddenly getting Xiaoqun off the bus. However, she also hesitated, wondering if it was Qian Yingxue's doing, meant to attract their attention and stage a diversionary tactic.
The carriage turned two more streets, and as it approached the Beautiful Restaurant, it gradually slowed down. Qian Youxue lifted the curtain beside her and glanced out. It was an alley, and it looked quite deep. If she wanted to do something, this was indeed the best place.
However, when she was on guard, she only saw Qian Yingxue humming a tune in a very good mood, seemingly having no intention of making a move.
From one end of the alley to the other, Qian Youxue and her servant were on tenterhooks. In the quiet carriage, the only sounds besides the sound of horses' hooves were Qian Yingxue's off-key tune.
"Ladies, we've arrived at the Beautiful Restaurant." After the coachman spoke, the carriage gradually came to a stop.
The Beautiful Restaurant was located at the end of the alley. After getting off the carriage, I looked up and saw a large plaque hanging on it. It was a three-story building with a white jade spire on top. The restaurant was surrounded by green bamboo on the outer walls, which looked quite poetic.
At this moment, waiters were busy leading horses and greeting guests at the gate, and many young ladies from noble families walked in together, chatting and laughing.
As soon as Qian Yingxue and Qian Youxue stepped off the carriage, they attracted a lot of attention. Qian Yingxue recognized many of the people there. However, today was a gathering of legitimate young ladies and noble young masters, and Qian Yingxue, as a concubine's daughter, had no right to be present.
As for the veiled woman, everyone guessed it was Qian Youxue, the eldest daughter of the Qian family. However, wasn't Qian Youxue already betrothed to the Crown Prince? For such an ugly woman to become the Crown Princess was practically a miracle for the Qian family. So why was she here to compete with everyone for a prestigious young master? Wasn't that a bit too greedy?
"Look at that, how shameless!"
"Yes, yes, yes, she's already betrothed to someone else, yet she still comes. This ugly girl can become the Crown Princess, she's really getting a great deal."
"But some people are just so shameless and greedy!"
"It's alright. I'm afraid this marriage was only agreed upon because of Qianxiang's status. The young masters we admire wouldn't even look at an ugly woman like that!"
"Yes, yes, hehehe..."
Amidst the whispers and laughter, Qian Yingxue felt embarrassed. She also hated being compared to the Crown Prince by others, which made her so angry that she clenched her fists, wanting to punch someone.
Qian Youxue was a little confused. Was this a poetry gathering or a blind date?
He looked at Qian Yingxue helplessly. Had this fool figured out that she couldn't reach the Crown Prince, so she wanted to find a rich man's son?
"Sister, let's go inside quickly!" Qian Yingxue was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head.
Qian Youxue nodded, and the two walked to the entrance of the restaurant, but were stopped by the waiter standing at the door: "Ladies, only the master is allowed to enter today, and servants are not allowed to enter."
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince had already made preparations, forbidding servants from entering and effectively depriving this useless person of any help. How she would then torment him would be entirely up to her whim. Thinking this, she was filled with joy once more.
Qian Youxue looked back at the other young ladies, and it seemed that none of them had brought servants inside. The servants had been led by the waiter to the courtyard next door, where they were probably waiting.
No servants are allowed in?
