Chapter 149 The Oriental Pearl Tower wets Wan'er's clothes!
"Brother Jingchu, this is the last time Wan'er will call you that. We are not destined to be together, so just forget about Wan'er!" After saying this, Dongfang Wan'er covered her face and ran away.
Seeing this, Qiuqin and Anye quickly gave chase.
Dongfang Mingzhu only saw Dongfang Wan'er run away, but didn't hear what they said. However, subconsciously, she felt that Dongfang Wan'er was seducing Ye Jingchu.
"Brother Jingchu, what are you saying to Sister Wan'er? Sister Wan'er is now the Ninth Princess's wife, you two should avoid suspicion!" Dongfang Mingzhu said coquettishly.
Ye Jingchu was already feeling down because of what Dongfang Wan'er had just said, and now Dongfang Mingzhu was rubbing salt into his wounds, making him feel even more irritated.
He couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. He used to think the Oriental Pearl Tower was quite cute, but now the more he looked at it, the more it bothered him.
"What are you doing here? You're the one who calls me Brother Jingchu, Mingzhu! How can you be so rude!" Ye Jingchu reprimanded Dongfang Mingzhu with a stern face, his voice carrying a hint of severity and dissatisfaction.
Dongfang Mingzhu's face turned pale, but she still tried to explain, "Brother Jingchu, Mingzhu has always been like this..." However, her words were interrupted by Ye Jingchu.
"Enough! Go find a seat!" Ye Jingchu flicked his sleeves, turned and left with a dark face. His back view appeared cold and ruthless, making Dongfang Mingzhu's heart sink.
Dongfang Mingzhu trembled with rage. She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, "That bitch Dongfang Wan'er must have said something to Brother Jingchu. Shameless, bitch, bitch!" Her face was contorted with resentment and anger.
Just then, Wan Yao suddenly noticed someone approaching and quickly reminded Dongfang Mingzhu, "Miss, don't be angry, someone's coming. I have an idea!"
Upon hearing Wan Yao's words, Dongfang Mingzhu quickly composed herself, her ferocious expression vanishing. She turned to Wan Yao and asked anxiously, "What idea?"
Wan Yao whispered in the Oriental Pearl Tower's ear...
Dongfang Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought to herself, "This is a good idea. If it succeeds, then..." A sly smile appeared on her lips, but she quickly regained her dignified and elegant demeanor.
"Okay, let's do it that way! But be careful, don't let anyone find out." Dongfang Mingzhu whispered a reminder.
"Please rest assured, Miss, I will be very careful!" Wan Yao patted her chest and assured her.
Everyone followed the instructions and took their seats. Dongfang Wan'er was no exception; Ye Jingchu had specially arranged for her to sit closest to him. Opposite her sat Dongfang Mingzhu and others.
Dongfang Mingzhu glanced at Ye Jingchu and Dongfang Wan'er, a flicker of jealousy and resentment in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and whispered to those around her, "We'll find a suitable opportunity to make our move later..."
"Yes, Miss, don't worry, we will proceed according to plan," Wan Yao echoed.
Li Sisi had been closely monitoring the situation at Dongfang Mingzhu. When she saw Dongfang Mingzhu and Wan Yao talking in hushed tones, she couldn't help but frown.
I was standing in the corner just now and I saw Oriental Pearl and the girl whispering to each other!
She couldn't help but wonder if there was some unspeakable secret between Dongfang Mingzhu and her maid.
However, just as she was deep in thought, a burst of laughter suddenly broke her concentration.
The Right Chancellor raised his wine cup and announced with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, Your Highness, His Majesty has betrothed my daughter to you as your Crown Princess!"
These words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone present. Oriental Pearl Tower turned pale, as if the sky had fallen.
Ye Jingchu smiled and replied, "Haha, thank you for your kindness, Father-in-law. This Crown Prince will definitely cherish Shuyao!"
He raised his glass and downed it without hesitation, displaying confidence and boldness.
Dongfang Wan'er silently watched everything unfold before her, secretly sneering to herself.
She thought to herself, "Ha, I never expected Ye Jingchu to be so lucky. Even without my help in my past life, he was still able to become the crown prince and gain the support of the prime minister. He's really something!"
Dongfang Wan'er showed no interest in the food at the banquet; she quietly observed the people and events around her. Just then, Dongfang Mingzhu slowly approached her, her eyes flashing with a complex light.
Holding a wine glass, Dongfang Mingzhu moved gracefully to Dongfang Wan'er's side and said softly, "Sister, I have offended you before, and I have come to apologize to you today. I hope you will forgive me for my past mistakes."
Her voice carried a hint of apology, but the cunning in her eyes was impossible to ignore.
As Dongfang Wan'er watched Dongfang Mingzhu approach and heard her words, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What tricks was Dongfang Mingzhu playing now? She wouldn't easily believe Dongfang Mingzhu's sincerity.
"Oh! Sister, I'm sorry, Mingzhu didn't mean to!" Suddenly, the wine glass in Dongfang Mingzhu's hand tilted, and the wine spilled out, splashing right onto Dongfang Wan'er's skirt.
"Sister, go downstairs and change your clothes! It'll be uncomfortable wearing these wet clothes," Dongfang Mingzhu advised with concern.
"Alright!" Dongfang Wan'er feigned agreement, wanting to see what Dongfang Mingzhu was really up to.
"Miss, I'll go with you!" Seeing this, An Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help Dongfang Wan'er up, and they retreated together.
At this moment, Ye Jingchu, who had been watching Dongfang Wan'er closely, also saw this scene. His gaze was fixed on the direction Dongfang Wan'er left in, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
When Dongfang Mingzhu saw that Dongfang Wan'er had indeed gone downstairs to change her clothes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a subtle smile. Then she gave Wanyao a look, signaling that she could proceed.
After receiving a look from Dongfang Mingzhu, Wan Yao immediately understood her meaning, so she quickly withdrew and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, Li Sisi, who was sitting next to the Oriental Pearl Tower, had been closely watching the movements there. When she saw Dongfang Wan'er go down to change her clothes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.
So she made an excuse to leave her seat and quietly followed Dongfang Wan'er.
At the same time, Li Yanran also noticed the actions of Dongfang Mingzhu and the others, and she wondered to herself, "What exactly are they trying to do?"
So she found an excuse, quietly got up, and followed Li Sisi.
After Dongfang Wan'er, Qiuqin, and An Ye arrived at the backyard, a maid suddenly appeared and asked warmly, "Miss, are you going to change your clothes?"
Dongfang Wan'er was secretly delighted, thinking how coincidental it all was. She smiled and nodded, indicating that she did indeed need to change her clothes.
