Bai Wanwan felt a bit disappointed upon hearing Bai Susu’s words.
The plan today was for Bai Susu to intentionally spill tea on her, causing her public humiliation.
However, she turned the tables, making Bai Susu wet her own clothes and bribing the palace maid to lead them to the West Wing.
Yet, to clear any suspicion in front of Feng Changge, she pretended to twist her ankle midway and didn’t go with Bai Susu.
Afterwards, she specifically instructed Qing Zhi to secretly watch, ensuring Bai Susu entered the West Wing.
She thought the plan was foolproof, but unexpectedly overlooked a detail, as Bai Susu somehow did not go to the West Wing to stumble upon things she shouldn’t know.
At this thought, Bai Wanwan quickly whispered to Bai Susu, "As long as you’re alright, sister, but why was the Crown Prince so kind this time?"
Feng Qiwu was not someone who would offer help willingly.
Moreover, wasn’t Bai Susu fond of Brother Wu Chen? Why is she showing such a bashful expression towards Feng Qiwu now?
Hearing Bai Wanwan’s comment, Bai Susu replied nonchalantly, "This proves that rumors are unreliable, the Crown Prince is genuinely a good person."
Bai Wanwan couldn’t help but twitch her lips speechlessly.
Feng Qiwu is a good person?
Did Bai Susu lose her mind today?
She must have forgotten how she fainted from just one look from Feng Qiwu.
But this is fine too, even without Feng Changge, provoking Feng Qiwu, the Mad Crown Prince, means she wouldn’t have to make a move, as Bai Susu might get herself killed on her own one day.
Thus, Bai Wanwan quickly feigned concern and reminded, "Sister makes a valid point, but there’s no smoke without fire, so be cautious."
They say serving a king is like serving a tiger, but Feng Qiwu is not merely a dangerous tiger, he’s an Evil Ghost who could lose control at any moment, devouring people and turning the world into Purgatory.
Even someone as ruthless as Feng Changge was half-scared to death by Feng Qiwu’s madness in their previous life, having nightmares for several nights.
Daring to get close to Feng Qiwu might lead to a tragic end for Bai Susu one day.
Bai Susu, feeling a bit peeved, said to Bai Wanwan, "Got it."
Then she looked back at Feng Qiwu.
Feng Qiwu happened to lift his long lashes slightly, gazing directly at Bai Susu.
Seeing this, Bai Susu immediately broke into a charming smile, her eyes seemingly sparkling.
She wasn’t naturally infatuated, but what could she do, Feng Qiwu was simply too pleasing to the eye!
From an anatomical perspective, Feng Qiwu’s features perfectly fit the golden ratio, and his figure was a standard nine-head height.
Such a man is truly a favorite of the Creator!
If the author hadn’t made him the antagonist, would the protagonist even stand a chance?
Feng Qiwu almost crushed the wine cup in his hand at this moment.
He initially thought Bai Susu would be more reserved towards him at the banquet, yet after expressing her feelings, she became so forthright, boldly looking at him with "admiring" eyes and smiling so brightly.
But he had to admit that his mood improved significantly at that moment.
He almost wanted to go over immediately and pull her into his embrace, capturing her rosy lips fiercely, not allowing other men to see her smile at that moment.
However, remembering Bai Susu’s words about them not being engaged yet, he restrained the impulse to act recklessly.
Even so, he couldn’t help but curve his lips slightly.
Then, to cover it up, he downed the wine in his hand in one go.
Meanwhile, the Eldest Prince Feng Changge and the Third Prince Feng Wuchen were also noticing Bai Susu.
Initially, they were only interested in her conversation with Bai Wanwan, but who would’ve thought Bai Susu would suddenly smile at Feng Qiwu like that.
Bai Susu’s appearance was naturally flawless, her almond eyes shimmering with brilliance, her nose delicate and elegant, her rosy lips small and charming, with two cute dimples at the corners, and her skin as white as porcelain, effortlessly attracting men’s attention.
But as the Bai Family’s legitimate daughter, she grew up with the education that a lady should be dignified and graceful, so she always presented herself as mature and composed, even somewhat disdaining her own captivating looks that didn’t fit the standard of a suitable noble wife and mother.
This caused her to be less outstanding among the elaborately dressed noble ladies.
Yet, her inadvertent smile earlier revealed her hidden beauty.
Feng Changge’s gaze darkened instantly, and even Feng Wuchen, who often interacted with her, was momentarily stunned, not expecting Bai Susu’s smile to be so stunningly attractive.
For a moment, both of their eyes involuntarily settled on Bai Susu, filled with ambiguous darkness.
Feng Qiwu keenly noticed the two of them focusing on Bai Susu, causing his expression to darken immediately.
The next moment, exerting force with his fingers, he shattered the white jade wine cup in his hand.
The others around, witnessing this, became increasingly silent, not daring to make a sound.
This Crown Prince was becoming more and more capricious.
No one had provoked him, yet he suddenly became angry and crushed his drinking cup.
If Da Qin’s empire were really handed over to him in the future, would it really be alright?
Feng Qiwu couldn’t care less about others’ perceptions of him; at this moment, he cast a blank look at the eunuch Xiao Quanzi beside him.
Seeing Feng Qiwu suddenly glance coldly in his direction, Xiao Quanzi immediately trembled and hurriedly came forward reprimanding, "Who prepared this wine cup for the Crown Prince? It’s so flimsy!"
How could the breaking of the cup be the Crown Prince’s fault?
It was clearly the cup’s quality issue!
Saying this, he cautiously signaled to a nearby palace maid to promptly bring a new cup for Feng Qiwu.
The next moment, the maid, trembling, placed a new cup in front of Feng Qiwu and began to pour wine for him.
But intimidated by Feng Qiwu’s current oppressive aura and cold expression, her hands shook continuously as she poured.
Seeing the spilled wine wetting the table, not even entering the cup, the maid’s face turned pale immediately, then she promptly knelt down, begging for mercy, "Forgive me, Crown Prince, I didn’t mean it, please spare my life, I’m begging you."
After speaking, she began to kowtow sincerely on the marble floor. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net
Suddenly, the surrounding air was so silent that one could hear a pin drop, only the sound of her constant kowtows reverberated.
Everyone around looked at this maid with pity, as if already envisioning Feng Qiwu’s imminent ruthless outburst, kicking her to death directly.
Seeing the maid kowtowing immediately, Feng Qiwu merely sneered.
However, considering Bai Susu’s presence, fearing he would frighten her if he killed someone outright, he forcibly suppressed his bloodthirsty fury.
