53 Secret eting (I)
“WHAT? WHO DID YOU SAY HAS CO?” Chang Ah’s face darkened when the maid inford her that the personal guard of Zheng Liang had co with a ssage for Yang Ning.
Since when their relationship has improved to the point that they started to exchange ssages with each other without anyone knowing?
While Chang Ah looked distressed, Yang Ning’s face lit up to hear this news.
What a great timing.
PHEW! She sighed in relief and put down the teacup on the table that she was holding in her trembling hands.
She wasn’t sure what Chang Ah had mixed in the tea but it definitely would not be sothing good seeing how she was urging her to drink the tea.
Yang Ning stood up from the chair and politely smiled at Chang Ah and said, ” Mother, thank you for offering your ‘special’ tea.”
” I would love to enjoy tea with you and gossip about many things. However, as the ‘Future Crown Princess’, I believe it would be polite if I go and receive the ssage that His Highness has sent for , myself.”
While Yang Ning was smiling ear to ear and couldn’t wait to leave this place, the gloomy air surrounded Chang Ah and she could not even fake a smile in this situation.
.....
‘This BITCH! It was such a great plan to teach her a lesson.’
She had signaled Xing Bao to mix a herb in her tea that will cause Yang Ning to fall ill and have hives all over her face and body.
Not only that, the side effects of the herb will cause permanent scars on her face, leaving her as the ugliest woman in the Empire.
Since Yang Ning is known for her ethereal beauty, she wanted to destroy that confidence of hers with this lesson.
Then her engagent with the crown Prince will also be annulled and she will be abandoned by the Crown Prince and the royal family.
However, this bitch not only escaped that plan of hers but was also looking over the moon for not getting to drink the tea that she had offered her.
Yang Ning, who already sensed Chang Ah’s evil plan, was glad that the response to her letter had co sooner than she had expected and at the right ti.
” Mother, there is no need for you to co outside and greet Guard Gu Lan. You can stay here and enjoy your evening tea. Head Maid, why don’t we do this?” Yang Ning turned to Xing Bao who was standing in the corner with Xiaowei and was looking at her with a scowl on her face.
” I would feel bad if we were to throw away this precious tea. Why don’t we do this? You can drink the tea instead. This way, I will also not feel bad.”
” As you can see, I haven’t even taken a sip from it. It’s clean and untouched. So....make sure to drink it. Mother, Please enjoy yourself. Then...I will take my leave.” Yang Ning politely bowed to Chang Ah and hurriedly left the area along with Xiaowei and didn’t even spare them a single glance.
After Yang Ning left, Chang Ah gritted her teeth and flipped over the teacup that Yang Ning left untouched. “THIS BITCH!” She cursed out aloud, startling the other maids who were watching the drama from the sidelines.
Xing Bao pursed her lips and glanced at the other maids and signaled them to leave Chang Ah alone.

Gu Lan, who was waiting in the waiting hall, stood up to greet Yang Ning, who was walking along with Xiaowei.
“Greetings to Lady Yang Ning.” He greeted her with a nonchalant look on his face.
Xiaowei, who was standing next to Yang Ning, frowned to see Gu Lan, who was looking at her lady with his cold eyes and wasn’t even smiling when he greeted her.
How can he be so rude to her? She is soon going to beco the Crown Princess. How can he treat her so casually?
Yang Ning didn’t mind his casual greeting and happily asked for the ssage that Zheng Liang had sent for her. ” You brought the ssage with you? Where is it?”
How can she not be happy? This ssage is the reason that saved her life today.
Gu Lan frowned to see the woman so excited and handed her the letter that His Highness had asked him to pass on to her.
” Here it is. Since I have handed you the letter, I will take my leave.” Gu Lan said as soon as he handed her the letter that he ca here to pass on. Since his work is done, it’s ti to leave.
He has no intention to entertain this woman for long. Because he does not want to associate with a cunning woman like her.
Yang Ning also did not even stop him and said, ” Alright. You can leave.”
” I would have offered you to have so tea and snacks, but seeing how eager you look to leave this place, I will not hold you back.”
“Ah, Just you know, I don’t like you as well. So I will not try to make you like . You can be at ease. Goodbye.” Yang Ning said straightforwardly, catching him off guard.
She could see the discontent in his eyes whenever he ets her. How can she not sense it? He makes it so obvious after all.
If he doesn’t like her, then there is no reason for her to mind her manners with him as well. He doesn’t like her and she feels the sa way toward him.
It ans they don’t need to act fake around each other at the least.
Gu Lan wasn’t expecting this woman to speak so directly. Since he is closest to His Highness, he was expecting her to make efforts to gain his favor so that she could easily manipulate the actions of His Highness from the sidelines.
Because this is what won usually do when they need to gain the favor of His Highness. Since he is the closest person next to him, they always try to gain his favor so that they could find more information about Zheng Liang from him.
But he was surprised to hear the words of Yang Ning. Even if she doesn’t like him, wouldn’t it be unfavorable for her to express her feelings to him like this?
Before Gu Lan could process Yang Ning’s thought process, he heard her say,” You’re not leaving? Would you like to stay for a cup of tea then? Xiaowei makes amazing tea, you see.”
Xiaowei frowned and glared at the man, showing her obvious dislike towards him on her face. If this man cannot respect her lady, then there is no reason for her to be nice to him as well.
Gu Lan glanced at the girl next to Yang Ning, who was giving him death glares and cleared his throat awkwardly, and said, ” No...No Need. I am leaving.”
Without wasting another minute, he scurried out of the Yang Household.
After he left, Xiaowei looked at Yang Ning and asked, ” Milady, why don’t you say sothing to this man?”
” He is just a guard yet he always disrespects you. You will beco the Crown Princess in three months, don’t you think you should do sothing about it?”
Yang Ning was smiling ear to ear to see the letter in her hands and casually answered her question, ” There is no need for to waste my energy on him. Because I am not the Crown Princess.”
” But you will beco one in three months. It’s not far away.” Xiaowei said innocently.
” Who knows what will happen in three months? Anything can happen during this ti.” Yang Ning said firmly, confusing Xiaowei even more.
“Yes? What will happen in three months?”
Yang Ning looked up at Xiaowei and chuckled to see her lost expression. What a cutie.
” You don’t need to know. For now, let’s go back to our chamber.” Yang Ning started walking ahead, leaving confused Xiaowei behind.
