Rui Zhu beca more and more arrogant.
She always behaved haughtily in front of others and refused to ntion their childhood agreent.
This made her feel angry, frustrated, and helpless.
She resolved to marry a man surpassing King Qin in the future to teach Rui Zhu a lesson!
But in the Great Jin Nation, the ones who could rival King Qin were only the Crown Prince and Young Master Huo.
The Crown Prince was already married, and she didn’t want to stoop and beco a concubine.
So, she had to set her sights on Huo Yuan, who was still unmarried.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuan’s heart already belonged to the country girl.
The saving grace was that they had not yet arranged marriage.
Therefore, she had to sche carefully to displace the country girl and marry into the Huo Family!
Cai Wei laughed and said, “It’s just a cup of tea, older sister.
There’s no need to bla yourself.
I’m wondering why you asked to co tonight?”
Du Wanqiu gave a charming smile and said, “The reason why I called you here is definitely a good thing.
In five more days, it will be the annual Shangsi Festival.
On this day every year, the Empress Dowager hosts an invitation-only party in the Imperial Garden for the unmarried sons and daughters of the ministers of the Imperial Court.
Everyone enjoys their ti together, performing, drinking, laughing, in a grand and joyous spectacle.
This get-together is sothing many young n and won covet.
Our Duke An’s Mansion is also lucky to have received an invitation.
I thought that since you grew up in the countryside and weren’t accustod to this kind of scene, I felt sorry for you and wanted to take you to the Palace to broaden your horizons.
Do you want to go?”
Damn it!
Cai Wei rolled her eyes.
She certainly —— did not want to go.
Du Wanqiu had already said that Duke An’s Mansion only had one spot.
So if she went with Du Wanqiu, wouldn’t she have to go as a maid?
She had no interest in the Palace.
Even if she received an invitation and could go with dignity, she wouldn’t want to go.
What’s more, she was to pose as Du Wanqiu’s maid.
Besides, that person would definitely go to the annual Shangsi Festival.
She had just managed to make him give up on her, so if she took the initiative to go, she might run into him and might even cause so trouble.
Having thought about this, she spoke calmly, “I appreciate your kindness, older sister.
But I’m really not adept at playing a maid, and the restaurant at ho has just co back on track and needs my attention all the ti.
I’m afraid that I can’t take advantage of your good intentions and go!”
Du Wanqiu didn’t expect her to express her dissatisfaction so bluntly.
She was taken aback and then gently said, “Little sister, don’t overthink it.
I don’t an to belittle you.
Although it’s sowhat inappropriate to let you pretend to be a maid, I think that opportunities for you to visit the palace are rare.
If you miss this chance, who knows when the next one will co.
You might not get another opportunity in this lifeti, so that’s why I resorted to this plan.”
Cai Wei coldly replied, “Visiting the Palace is a rare opportunity for so people, but for , it’s a tornt.
I despise those affectations there.
And there are so many things that I need to take care of at ho.
How can I have any leisure to watch the sons and daughters of the aristocracy recite poetry?
Therefore, I definitely can’t go.”
Her refusal was so straightforward, leaving no room for negotiation.
Du Wanqiu could only admit defeat.
It seed that Rui Zhu’s wishful thinking would most likely co to nothing.
Two days ago, Rui Zhu’s cousin sent soone to the mansion to deliver tea and especially asked her to bring Rui Zhu’s country cousin Mu Caiwei to the Palace.
Although she didn’t know how Rui Zhu had found out about Mu Caiwei, or why Rui Zhu was interested in Mu Caiwei, Rui Zhu was a person of her word, and her orders could only be obeyed.
She didn’t dare to question Rui Zhu further.
