I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 79 The Basic Etiquette of Green Tea

It was as if nothing had ever happened there!

She looked towards the other side of the city, believing that Yan Ruoyu had already taken care of things on his side.

She walked towards the high platform where the midday gathering was arranged. Zhong Liyu was already sitting on the platform, as if watching a play.

He watched her walk over, acting as if nothing had happened.

Her expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile: "Little sister, it's alright, I'm so glad you're alright."

"I don't see any sign that you're concerned about me at all," she replied slowly.

"In your heart, am I already a corpse?"

She looked at her with a cold gaze, tilted her head, and walked over to sit down next to her.

"Oh, little sister," she said, feigning surprise and covering her mouth with a light laugh, but there was no real joy in her eyes.

How could you say that? I've always wanted you to get better.

"Gongshu Liang failed to kill me; your plan has failed."

With a heavy heart, Zhongli Yueluo picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Zhongli Yu.

Zhong Liyu tilted her head, her face full of charm, her hand gently touching her chest, looking at her with an innocent expression.

"Look at what you're saying, little sister. What do you mean by 'our plan'? I don't know anything about that. Don't wrong me."

Then he took her tea and sipped it lightly. To outsiders, they appeared to be two extremely harmonious sisters.

But only they themselves know that it's all just a facade.

They sat on the platform for a long time. Gongshu Liang changed his clothes, treated his wounds, and then also went up to the platform.

When He Yuhuan saw him, her eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Gongshu Liang, acting as if nothing had happened, greeted the two princesses, saying, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."

Zhongli Yueluo truly admired his acting skills, and ignored him with a cold face.

He even reached out to stop He Yuhuan, feeling that if she had raised her hand any later, she would have rushed out and bitten him.

Gongshu Liang did not sit but stood between the two of them, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.

"Second Princess, where are your three good husbands? Could they have died somewhere?"

Gongshu Liang smiled, but his eyes flashed with cold light.

"Alas, what a pity! We're all long-lived and won't die easily. You should worry about yourselves, Young Master Gongshu!"

She looked up and glared at him.

"By the way, little sister, the lanterns will be lit tonight, and all the people will be watching. You won't run into any trouble, will you?"

She had a charming smile on her face, as if she really cared about her.

"No need for you to worry, sister."

She clenched her fists, still not hearing any news from them. Had something really happened?

Just as I was thinking of this, Yan Ruoyu slowly walked over, fanning herself with her Xuan Gu Fan.

But the way he walked was extremely unnatural, as if he had just gone through a struggle.

Perhaps he was injured, but the large outer robe covered it up.

His lips were somewhat pale as he walked over and slowly bowed to them, saying, "Greetings, Your Highnesses, and Young Master Gongshu." He slightly cupped his hands in greeting.

Then, he sat down next to Zhongli Yueluo.

Zhongli Yueluo placed her hand on his, her eyes filled with worry, but she didn't say anything.

If only she could think at this moment, just as she thought that, Yan Ruoyu's voice rang in her mind.

"Don't worry, those Black Deer Guards have been mostly dealt with, but I think it might all be a ruse. We need to be extra vigilant in the coming days."

Are you alright? Are you hurt?

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries."

She squeezed his hand. Since it was still far from night, she decided to go back to Yuanyue Pavilion first and discuss the events of the day with the others.

"Sister, I'm tired today, so I'll head back to Yuanyue Pavilion first. I'll come out again when the lanterns are lit tonight."

"Little sister, you need to walk slowly, be careful not to fall!"

He narrowed his fox-like eyes, a cryptic smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Zhongli Yueluo just smiled coldly, said nothing, put her hand on Yan Ruoyu's hand, and slowly walked away.

As He Yuhuan left, she turned back and glared at them fiercely; they exuded an aura of malice.

As he walked into the street, he looked up at Yan Ruoyu with concern and said, "I smell blood on you."

"They're just a dozen or so lackeys, nothing to worry about." He rolled up his sleeves, not wanting her to worry.

"Let's go back to Yuanyue Pavilion first."

The three returned to Yuanyue Pavilion, and Zhongli Yueluo, who had been maintaining a composed demeanor, suddenly relaxed.

The wound on my hand was also hurting terribly at this moment; my composure earlier was all an act.

The wound on my arm is now slowly bleeding.

Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang looked at the spot where Zhongli Yueluo had been sitting; there was a bloodstain on the brocade.

Zhong Liyu tucked her hair behind her ear and looked up at Gongshu Liang.

"She's quite the actor; judging by the injury, it looks like her arm went right through."

"Wu Luo is dead too." Gong Shuliang said this without any emotion, as if he were describing some broken object.

"So what if he died? Just arrange two more for my good sisters."

Then she waved her hand and whispered a few words to the maid beside her.

Immediately, the maidservant began writing talismans in the air.

Zhongli Yueluo hadn't even arrived at Yuanyue Pavilion yet, but the new maid assigned to her had already arrived.

Gongshu Liang lowered his eyes and stared intently at Zhongli Yu's chest; she was truly captivating with every smile and frown.

He was just about to raise his hand to stroke her face when Zi Sangqi appeared silently.

He crossed his arms and stared coldly at the two of them.

What should we do next?

His cold words interrupted the two of them. Gongshu Liang was a little impatient, while Zhongli Yu smiled faintly, his hand supporting his face.

"Our plan hasn't officially started yet; today was just a test. Now that you're back, does that mean you've succeeded?"

“The person is not dead, but may be crippled. After all, the Demon Flower only grows in Ghost Sorrow Abyss. If Zhongli Yueluo really cares about the Su brothers, he will definitely go to Ghost Sorrow Abyss.”

"Good, well done!" He beckoned to him, making no attempt to conceal whether Gongshu Liang was present.

He brushed her hand away, saying, "These seductive tricks have no effect on me!"

She wasn't annoyed. She withdrew her hand and shook her teacup. Zisang was nothing more than a pawn in their game.

"Just let me know if there are any further actions." Zi Sangqi disappeared from their sight again.

“Ah Liang, we can’t keep this Zisang family member when the time comes.”

Gong Shuliang's fingers twirled her hair, greedily inhaling her scent.

"Ayu, it's up to you. They're hard to control anyway. Just use them and then discard them."

As he spoke, he reached down and hooked her chin, their eyes meeting and exchanging glances.

In the end, Zhong Liyu pushed him away and turned her face to the side: "Let's wait until tonight, okay?"

Gong Shuliang gave a wicked smile and placed his hand on her shoulder: "Alright, you must make it up to me tonight."

Meanwhile, the Su brothers reunited, and Su Fengling learned that his brother had been afflicted by the Demon Flower.

Finding the situation difficult, they took him back to Yuanyue Pavilion first.
