68 -68: The Princess of Qi Indeed Is Extraordinary
“Sister, what’s this you’re saying?
Can’t I come to see you if there’s nothing wrong?” Qi Anran revealed a false smile and looked around as if she was searching for something.
Qi Yu’s eyes narrowed, quickly guessing her purpose.
Qi Anran was here to find someone.
“What is sister looking for?” she asked slowly.
Qi Anran was startled, withdrew her gaze, and appeared somewhat embarrassed, “Nothing much, just that the red plum blossoms of the Prince Qiu Residence are so lovely, I took a few extra looks.”
Qi Yu simply smiled and said nothing, not exposing her.
Dozens of imperial guards couldn’t find the person, yet Li Ming’an actually expected Qi Anran, this fool, to be able to find him.
Worried that she had noticed her purpose, Qi Anran quickly said, “Sister, I heard that Zuichun Building has some new dishes.
Why don’t I treat and take you to try them out?”
Qi Yu looked at her with an indiscernible expression.
What got into Qi Anran today?
However, she had been cooped up for so many days and indeed felt a little bored.
“Then I’ll thank sister for her kindness,” she said.
Qi Yu stood up and left the Prince Residence with Qi Anran.
In the carriage, Shen Nanxing looked at her with some unease, “Princess, what if it’s a trap?”
Qi Yu lifted the curtain and glanced out, “Without entering the tiger’s den, how can one catch its cub?
Besides, someone is treating me to a meal, why wouldn’t I go?”
She had been bothered by something lately, and now that she’d come across an easy mark, shouldn’t she milk it for what it’s worth?
Qi Anran didn’t realize she had already been relegated to a walking purse.
All she was thinking about was how to torment Qi Yu after bringing her to Zuichun Building.
The carriage stopped in front of Zuichun Building, and when Qi Yu alighted, Boss Wang, who was inside, hurried out to welcome her.
Qi Yu raised her hand to stop him, and seeing that Qi Anran had not yet alighted, she whispered so only the two of them could hear, “Whatever dishes are served later, double the price.”
“This…” Boss Wang hesitated.
Zuichun Building had been in business for so many years and had never done something like arbitrarily hiking up prices.
Qi Yu remained silent, a shallow smile appearing on her face.
Boss Wang shivered immediately and hastily agreed, “Of course, Princess!”
He must have lost his mind earlier to dare provoke this she-devil!
Qi Yu gestured to him and waited as Qi Anran slowly made her way over.
“Sister, order whatever you’d like; don’t be polite,” Qi Anran said with feigned generosity.
Qi Yu proceeded to order one of each dish from Zuichun Building’s signature menu, not caring whether they could finish it all.
Whatever was expensive, she ordered.
By the end, Qi Anran could not help but clutch her purse, her voice trembling slightly, “Sister, isn’t this a bit too much?”
Qi Yu inwardly scoffed but pretended to be vexed on the surface, “I forgot my sister is not that wealthy.
In that case, let’s cancel all these dishes!”
A vein throbbed on Qi Anran’s forehead as she gritted her teeth, “No need, I have money!”
“That’s good to hear.” Qi Yu patted her chest and sighed with relief, as if genuinely afraid she wouldn’t be able to pay later.
Seeing her like this, Qi Anran rolled her eyes in frustration.
This idiot!
Halfway through the meal, Qi Anran, seeing that Qi Yu was gradually letting down her guard, urged her to drink a few more glasses of wine.
Qi Yu drank them all, and soon after, she looked at Qi Anran with bleary eyes.
Qi Anran, delighted, hurriedly asked, “Sister, do you still remember who I am?”
Qi Yu frowned, struggled to open her eyes wider, and after looking at her for a while, pointed at her and said, “I know, you’re a vixen!”
“Bang—”
Qi Anran slammed the table in anger and spat out through clenched teeth, “I am not a vixen!”
She, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister Residence, was actually called a vixen.
She glared at Qi Yu fiercely, and Qi Yu, slightly afraid, shrank back and changed her words, “Fine, you’re not a vixen, you’re a white lotus.”
Qi Anran was so angry her lips trembled.
Was being a white lotus any better than a vixen?
But she had pressing matters to attend to, so she had to forcefully suppress the anger in her heart and continued to ask, “Has there been any stranger at the Prince Qiu Residence recently?”
A hint of mockery flashed in Qi Yu’s eyes.
Had she gone through such a big circle just to ask that?
She nodded her head and deliberately said, “It seems there has.”
“Who!” Qi Anran stared at her with burning eyes.

Qi Yu blinked, thought for a while, and then declared decisively, “A man…
very good-looking!”
Qi Anran’s expression became excited; she had actually managed to get information from this fool!
She swallowed and asked eagerly, “Where is he?
Has he been hidden away?”
Qi Yu thought for a moment, letting the anticipation build, before holding her head and shouting, “My head is so dizzy.”
Qi Anran was almost driven crazy by her, wishing she could shake her by the shoulders to make her spit out the name.
But Qi Yu was already drunk and had passed out on the table.
Qi Anran was furious and wanted to grab her and lift her up, but before her hand could touch Qi Yu, it was met with a sword held by Shen Nanxing.
“You…
take your sword away!” Qi Anran was too frightened to move, with the sharp blade laying right before her eyes.
Shen Nanxing looked at her with a cold gaze, “Get lost!”
Qi Anran stepped back, and only relaxed a bit when she saw Shen Nanxing didn’t follow her.
Before leaving, she took one more hateful glance at the fainted Qi Yu, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
She was so close, just so close, and she would have been able to find out Song Ling’s hiding place from this fool’s mouth!
However, today wasn’t entirely fruitless.
At the very least, she knew Song Ling was in the Prince Qiu Residence.
He was just hidden by the prince.
With a smug expression, she left the building, thinking about reporting this matter to Li Ming’an at Prince An Residence.
But she was stopped by the owner Wang, “You haven’t paid yet.”
Qi Anran could only go to pay, but upon hearing the price, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock, “This expensive!”
Owner Wang was also very nervous, as this was his first time doing something like this.
But if he messed it up, that person could skin him alive.
As a result, owner Wang could only put on a serious face and say, “Yes, recently food prices have gone up, and our shop’s prices are different from before.”
Qi Anran, not wanting to appear petty, didn’t even question the price and hurriedly paid it, even though it was ten times the usual amount.
Once on the carriage, staring at her empty purse, she was so angry that she threw it onto the ground.
A meal for a thousand silver taels, was she eating gold?
In Zuichun Building, owner Wang handed the ill-gotten gains he had just collected to Qi Yu.
“Princess, I have doubled it as you commanded.”
Qi Yu weighed the bag and slightly raised her eyebrows at owner Wang, “I didn’t expect your place to be a rip-off as well.”
She had only thought about doubling it two or three times, but owner Wang went straight for ten times the original amount.
Indeed, there’s no business without deceit.
In the end, Qi Yu left the cost of the dishes behind and walked away with the purse, completely satisfied.
Owner Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered with a sense of surviving a catastrophe, “Finally, sent that ancestor away!”
On the second floor of the teahouse across the street, someone had observed everything that had just taken place.
Watching Qi Yu leave, she slightly curved her lips, “The Prince Qiu’s wife is truly not simple.”
