Chapter 57

Chapter 57 - Tea Party (2)

Since the princess had no subordinated under her command, she must have used Gong Jue's maternal family's people. Previously, Gong Che had also received news that Gong Yi Mo had sent Zhen Xi Wang a letter before leaving the palace.

In order to prevent Gong Jue from finding out, she most likely decided to be alone.

Such a thought caused Gong Che's heart to ache from bitterness... but it didn't matter. In a few days, it would be the day of worshipping Heaven. By then, the emperor would definitely allow him the freedom to roam. Once that happened, he would go and seek her out!

After listening to Shen Shi Ye, Gong Yi Mo remained silent for a time.

"It's getting late. I better get some rest. Also, I won't be going to any tea party. If you can't think of any excuses, just tell her I fell sick."

Afterward, she grabbed Shen Shi Ye and shoved him out of the room.

However, she was very much aware-Su Miaolan wouldn't give up just like this.

Sure enough, the very next day, Gong Yi Mo was awakened at noon by a loud knock.

She felt her stomach grumble from hunger, so she got up to open the door. Soon enough, an old maidservant appeared before her.

As soon as the maidservant laid her eyes upon the girl, her eyes flashed with disdain, but she quickly hid her dark thoughts and managed to squeeze out an awkward smile: "Young lady, my miss requests your presence."

Gong Yi Mo grumbled, "I'm not going."

Just as she was about to close the door, the uninvited guest quickly approached and shot her a warning glance. "This girl is so impolite! My family's miss has a good heart and is very kind. She even came here to invite you personally! If you turn down someone's goodwill, be prepared to face the consequences of your impertinence."
