"Miss, you mean …"
"You used an ingenious method to tell Fourth Sister where I was, and then let someone 'accidentally' leak information that the crown prince is also over there. Aunt Xiu, do you understand what I mean?" The smile on Mu Bingyue's face became even more serious.
Aunt Xiu came to a realization. When she looked at Mu Bingyue, her eyes were filled with gratification.
The deceased was the young mistress who had served him closely since she was young. She was smart and talented, but too innocent. She was used by others and ended up like that. Even if she died, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
But luckily, Miss was smart and seemed naive on the surface, but Aunt Xiu was assured after a short conversation with her.
This new young master was not simple!
Only after Aunt Xiu had left did Mu Bingyue calm down, and only after she thought about the arrangements she had to make later did she relax. After Aunt Xiu came back, she combed Mu Bingyue's hair again, and although it still fit her simple hairstyle, it looked a lot more dignified. Mu Bingyue had even put on a thin layer of makeup, tidied up her clothes, and was about to leave when it was about time.
However, since there was no one by her side, it wasn't convenient for her to go out by herself. Bringing Aunt Xiu along would arouse suspicion as well, so she decided to bring Nanny Liu along with her.
Nanny Liu seemed to have been waiting all this time and had also changed into a fresh set of clothes. When they reached the door, the Crown Prince's follower was already waiting outside with a carriage over his head. When Mu Bingyue came out, she immediately opened the carriage curtain and helped her into the luxurious carriage.
As expected, the interior of the carriage was luxurious and high-end. All sorts of supplies were meticulously laid out. Mu Bingyue curiously looked at it while Nanny Liu was also amazed.
When they arrived at the entrance, both master and servant alighted. However, they saw that the Aura Pavilion, which usually came in like the clouds, was empty. All the waiters and shopkeepers were there to welcome them.
"Seventh Miss, it seems that the Crown Prince thinks highly of you. The entire Awakening Pavilion has been reserved for you. This is not a small amount of money." Nanny Liu had never seen such a scene before, but she pretended to be calm as she whispered into Mu Bingyue's ear.
Mu Bingyue pretended to smile in fear but didn't say anything.
Exhibition?
When she went to eat with Xing Ang, her display wasn't small either. It was completely different from the Crown Prince's.
Jade Forest Street, which was located in the most bustling location of the Ultimate Vexation Pavilion, was filled with all sorts of restaurants. How much would it cost to rent it?
The Emperor had always disapproved of the crown prince, and yet the crown prince had dared to act so boldly. It was unknown if the crown prince was too stupid, or if he really didn't care about the emperor's feelings!
Now that she thought about it, Mu Bingyue felt that sometimes, emperors were rather pitiful too!
She had already said that to the Emperor in the palace, so today she must draw a clear line between herself and the Crown Prince. She couldn't let the Emperor feel that she was jumping from one to the other between her sons.
The shopkeeper didn't lead Mu Bingyue to the private box, but directly to the main hall.
The hall was spacious but empty.
Due to the Crown Prince's arrangements, the tables and chairs had been moved to the back yard. There was only a large stage in the west side where the chairs and musical instruments had been prepared.
The shopkeeper pointed to a round table in the middle of the room, which was covered with a red silk cloth, and said, "Miss Mu, please wait for a moment. I will ask Crown Prince out right now."
