Fooling a Kid

Back in the restaurant, before the confrontation of Xu Fengxin's men and Yuan Dongming's subordinates.

Yu Ronglou finished eating and burped heavily. Li Huangyu was scared of what was becoming of her Mistress. She was more unreserved now as if she no longer what other people thinks of her. This was a fact, Yu Ronglou was tired of being the perfect woman. When she followed everyone's teaching and wishes and when she became the Empress in her previous life, where did it resulted? She died unhappily. Might as well do everything she wishes now!

She got up and changed her outfit into a black robe. Her hat and veiled also became black, matching Li Huangyu's.

"Let's go." Yu Ronglou said after changing herself. Li Huangyu nodded and followed her Mistress.

Instead of going out, they went to a different room. Three rooms away from theirs. Li Huangyu knocked and announced. "Madam Zhu is here to meet Miss Peng."

After the announcement, the door opened and the servant welcomed them. It was as if they had been waiting for them for a while.

Miss Peng was sitting at the table anxiously as she looked towards the oncoming party. When her eyes laid on Madam Zhu, she could feel a highly noble aura coming from her. At first, Peng Xue was full of doubts. Now, she finally believed it.

Earlier this afternoon, she received a letter. It contained vital secrets that only she knew about, not even her trusted maids knew about it. It was like someone had read through her. This Madam Zhu was exactly giving her the same vibes and it was giving her goosebumps.

She stood up and gave a salute. "Good evening Madam Zhu."

Yu Ronglou eyed Peng Xue. Right now, Peng Xue was still 11 years old at the moment. Her family had ample time to let her climb into Xu Fengxin's harem. In the 6 years from now, Xu Fengxin would ascend the throne. Right now, He was 18 years old. He would be 24 when he becomes the Emperor.

"Miss Peng, I'm glad that you came." With the used of the Voice changer that Gu Hongfe gave, she was able to change her voice to a much-matured lady. It was safer this way.

For some reason, Peng Xue was nervous. It was as if, her life and future were on the line. "Please sit, Madam Zhu. It's my pleasure to meet you. How may I help you?"

Yu Ronglou sat down and smiled. Peng Xue wasn't able to see her smirking under the veil but she was able to see Peng Xue's anxious face. "I came because of fate. Fate told me that you will meet your future husband. As written on the letter that I sent, your husband will be the Crown Prince of Xu Kingdom."

Peng Xue's eyes lightened up. Of course, she doubted this kind of fortune-telling. Yet, how would this woman know of her secrets if she isn't talented? This could only mean that Madam Zhu is the real deal! "Tell me, what should I do?"

Peng Xue bit the hook, Yu Ronglou smiled. "Simple. Follow my instructions and he will find you. But remember, you mustn't act out of the ordinary until he finds you himself."

Peng Xue's brows furrowed, yet she agreed. That night, it was her and her maid that went back to Yu Ronglou's Inn. She wore the red robe that Yu Ronglou took off and the maid was given Li Huangyu's. Peng Xue was ordered to stay there for the night and must not go out, even if she heard any sort of noises. Also, she must travel to the east and wait there for his prince to come.

Madam Zhu was very strict about not changing her robes. She must wear red robes for Xu Fengxin to find her.

Yu Ronglou only left, once the restaurant was about to close. From there, she traveled out of the city instantly and headed north-east. If she remembered correctly, that man should be there at this time.
