When the maid heard what Ning Shu said, she hastily elaborated, “General told you to dress sloppily and said that it was best if you rubbed some ash onto your face.”
Ning Shu and Yue Lan paid no attention to her. Under Yue Lan’s skillful hands, Ning Shu was transformed into a sight so beautiful, Ning Shu felt dazzled by her own reflection.
The maid stared at Ning Shu blankly for a few moments, then shook her head. “You can’t do this. The general will kill you.”
“It’s fine, just lead the way.” Ning Shu lifted her head, puffed out her chest, and sucked in her belly in order to stop her waist from swaying as she walked.
The atmosphere of the drawing room was quite bad. Situ Qingyu’s expression was cold, while Luo Junyan had an unreadable slight smile on his face. They didn’t seem to be enjoying their conversation at all.
When Ning Shu walked in, both of the men were taken aback. Following that, Situ Qingyu’s face immediately turned dark. He knew that the prince regent was here for Mu Yanmeng, that was why he had wanted her to avoid standing out, but she actually dressed herself up this beautifully.
Her cold and charming features were made even more exquisite by the light makeup. Situ Qingyu was furious and glared at Ning Shu like she was a prey that he wanted to rip apart.
Meanwhile, Luo Junyan’s eyes were filled with astonishment as he gazed at Ning Shu. His gaze contained a tyrannical aura, some lingering emotions, and determination.
He hadn’t expected this female servant to be this beautiful. She seemed truly capable of overturning a city. It was no wonder that Situ Qingyu hadn’t been willing to gift her to him.
“Ahem, do you still remember this prince?” asked Luo Junyan as he walked to Ning Shu. He smelled like ambergris and also gave off a strong manly aura that made people’s hearts pound.
Ning Shu was currently pretending to be aloof and cold again, but the moment she opened her mouth, an unbelievably hoarse voice came out. “Who are you?”
When Luo Junyan heard her voice, he froze. It felt way too disharmonious. Someone as beautiful as this should have a gentle, pleasant-sounding voice that was charming and filled with soft emotions…
“What’s wrong with your throat? Did it get injured?” Luo Junyan asked with his brows furrowed. “Don’t worry, this prince make sure to cure your throat.”
Ning Shu lifted her brows without saying anything.
When Luo Junyan saw that Ning Shu wasn’t responding, he prompted eagerly, “Did you forget? It’s the steamed buns, the steamed buns, remember? We encountered each other in front of that steamed buns shop.”
Ning Shu twisted her lips in disdain. She was a complete mess at the steamed buns shop, so how was Luo Junyan so certain that she was the one he had encountered?
As expected, he had take a fancy to Mu Yanmeng’s beauty. However, after he had obtained her, he had trampled her like she was grass. He would play with her however he liked, and he specialized in tormenting her during her period. His taste really was unique.
“Withdraw,” said Situ Qingyu coldly to Ning Shu.
Before Ning Shu could respond, Luo Junyan said, “Situ Qingyu, this prince came today to take her away.”
Situ Qingyu laughed coldly. “Prince, she currently belongs to this general. Could it be that you want to snatch her with force?”
Oh wow, were they fighting over her?
