CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: DID THE MAID SPILL THE DISH ON THE WRONG PERSON?

When they reached the private room, they saw Feng Wuchen, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, gracefully rise and bow.

"Miss Bai, Second Miss Bai, are you both here to dine as well? Recently, Yuefeng Restaurant introduced new dishes, and business is booming. Reservations are required in advance. If you come to dine at this time, there won’t be any seats available. If you don’t mind, why not share a table with me?" Feng Wuchen said with a gentle, elegant smile.

However, in Bai Susu’s eyes, his smile was as fake as a hypocritical mask.

But she hadn’t come today to expose his false smile.

So she quickly lowered her head shyly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Third Prince."

"Miss Bai, you’re too kind. Please have a seat!" Feng Wuchen smiled, then personally stepped forward to pull out a chair for Bai Susu, making a show of it.

Seeing this, Bai Susu appropriately showed a delighted and happy expression, then sat down.

Meanwhile, Bai Wanwan and Feng Wuchen exchanged a quick glance after Bai Susu sat down, then each took their seats.

"Lin Wei, have the shopkeeper prepare a new table of dishes." Feng Wuchen said at this moment.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Feng Wuchen’s personal guard, Lin Wei, immediately nodded.

After Lin Wei left, a waiter from the restaurant came in and removed all the dishes from the table that had hardly been touched.

Feng Wuchen then spoke tenderly to Bai Susu, "This restaurant’s recently introduced Squirrel Fish is particularly tasty. Miss Bai, you must try it later."

"Yes, certainly." Bai Susu nodded, but her eyes swiftly assessed the private room.

According to ancient tricks, Bai Wanwan and Feng Wuchen wanted to set her up, and there were only two methods: one was to drug the food and drink, the other was to light specially made incense in the brazier.

But since Feng Wuchen and Bai Wanwan were both in the room, the incense in the brazier was likely not an issue.

So it must be the first method.

Thinking of this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, the fingers hidden under the wide, flowing sleeves gently and occasionally twisted the bracelet on her wrist.

If anything went wrong later, she would immediately shoot out the anesthetic needle inside.

After all, this thing was quite concealed, and it would be difficult to spot the issue afterward.

...

Not long after, dish after dish was brought in.

However, the maid serving the dishes accidentally slipped, spilling a plate of cold dishes and dirtying Bai Susu’s clothes.

The smiles on Feng Wuchen and Bai Wanwan’s faces momentarily froze.

This maid... did she spill the dishes on the wrong person?

Wasn’t she supposed to spill them on Bai Wanwan, so Bai Wanwan could leave to change clothes, leaving Bai Susu alone in the private room?

But now, what was she doing?

The maid, incredibly nervous, knelt down and apologized repeatedly to Bai Susu, "I’m sorry, I accidentally slipped and dirtied your clothes, Miss. I... I’ll make sure to clean them for you!"

Then she quickly stepped forward to sweep the cold dishes off Bai Susu’s legs to the ground.

Bai Susu frowned, about to get up to avoid the maid’s touch, when she suddenly noticed the maid frantically winking at her.

Seeing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, then immediately stood up, her face flushed with embarrassment before Feng Wuchen, and said, "No need, I’ll go back and change my clothes first!"

Then she said to Feng Wuchen, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, excuse me, I will go back and change my clothes!"

With that, she left the private room without looking back.

Bai Wanwan hurriedly called out, "Sister! If you leave like this... what will people think seeing you with such dirty clothes? Why not find somewhere to change first, haven’t you just bought new clothes today?"

Hearing these words, Bai Susu suddenly paused, showing a hesitant look.

Feng Wuchen also quickly said, "Yes, Miss Bai, there’s a resting suite behind the screen, why not use it? With Lin Wei guarding outside, you needn’t worry about anyone else coming in."

The plan was about to succeed, how could they let Bai Susu leave now?

Just as Bai Susu was about to find an excuse to refuse, Chuntao had already quickly and warily said, "No, after all, there are men present. How can Miss change clothes here? Miss, we can even ask the restaurant owner to borrow a room to change clothes."

No matter who he was, even if it was the Third Prince, he was still a man!

The other day in the Imperial Palace, Miss had already suffered a loss due to changing clothes, and she couldn’t make the same mistake again!

...

Hearing Chuntao’s words, Bai Susu then said to Feng Wuchen and Bai Wanwan, "Chuntao is right, I’ll ask the restaurant owner to borrow a room to change clothes. You go ahead and eat, don’t wait for me, I’ll come back after I’m done changing."

Saying this, she glanced shyly at Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen, seeing this, then said, "Very well then, Lin Wei, personally escort Miss Bai, and ensure her safety."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lin Wei immediately nodded, then said to Bai Susu, "Miss Bai, please follow me."

"Mm." Bai Susu nodded, then instructed Nuansummer to get her clothes from the carriage, and followed Lin Wei with Chuntao.

Lin Wei quickly borrowed a room from the shopkeeper, then took Bai Susu there and stood guard at the door.

...

As soon as Bai Susu left, Feng Wuchen turned coldly to the maid kneeling on the ground and kicked her.

"Useless! How could you almost ruin my plan!" Feng Wuchen said coldly.

Hearing this, the maid shuddered, then looked slightly puzzled and anxiously said, "Please, Your Highness, calm down. Didn’t you say to accidentally spill the dishes on the guest to your left? That’s exactly what I did, wasn’t it?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Wuchen’s right hand, appearing very confused as to why she was being scolded even though she followed instructions.

Feng Wuchen understood immediately.

This maid couldn’t tell left from right!

The person on his left was Bai Wanwan, while Bai Susu was on his right.

Yet because she couldn’t differentiate between left and right, she mistook left for right and spilled the dish on Bai Susu.

In a burst of anger, Feng Wuchen’s forehead veins bulged, almost making him vomit blood.

He never expected his well-thought-out plan to nearly be ruined by a pawn who couldn’t tell left from right.

Fortunately, Bai Wanwan reacted quickly and kept Bai Susu there!

Otherwise, today’s plan would have failed.

Thinking of this, Feng Wuchen coldly glanced at the maid, "Get lost!"

The maid hurriedly scrambled out of the private room.

...

After everyone else left the room, Bai Wanwan gently said to Feng Wuchen, "Brother Wu Chen, don’t be angry. Although there was a minor mishap, it hasn’t really impacted your big plan."

Feng Wuchen’s expression finally eased, then he looked at Bai Wanwan, "Yes, fortunately, Wan Wan, you stopped her in time."

Bai Wanwan softly smiled and said, "I just wanted to help Brother Wu Chen ease his worries."

However, neither of them expected that as soon as they spoke, they suddenly felt dizzy and hot inside.
