Chapter 80: King Poison: How to Neutralize It and Save Dongfang Que
“It’s all settled then. You must go to the stable now to arrange for a horse carriage on my behalf. Tomorrow, I want to visit Yuwu Teahouse and sit there for a while,” Ye Jiuge instructed Qing Mama.
The Yuwu Teahouse was the most popular gathering place among the younger generations of aristocratic families. These young nobles were undaunted by the repercussions of their actions, and they dared to talk about anything and everything. Most of all, they liked to gossip. Before, when Ye Jiuge had put the Crown Prince in his place, these young aristocrats were the reason news of the incident had spread like wildfire. Not only that, they had created an atmosphere of sympathy for her. When they saw this pig-looking face of hers today, their conversations would liven up.
“I’ll make arrangements now.” Qing Mama curtseyed.
She was about to leave when Ye Jiuge stopped her in her tracks, saying, “I need you to do another thing for me. Help me send out invitations to Lord Bai and Lord Wan to meet at Yuwu Teahouse tomorrow afternoon.”
She intended to use this opportunity to ask about the relationship between Bai Songling and Dongfang Que so that she could be clear about how they were related to each other. If she was to ally with them, they needed to be frank with her.

In the past, she had asked around and found out that Wan Ziyang and Bai Songling were both talented and handsome young men from the Justice Department. Their faces would match well with her Eldest Miss’. Ye Jiuge was not aware that Qing Mama was trying to play matchmaker for her again with random men. She turned her face to the left and right, scrutinizing herself in the mirror. When she was contemplating whether to make her lips paler, Zi Shang’s figure appeared.
Ye Jiuge jumped out of her skin. She hugged her chest and spoke fiercely, “Don’t you tell me that you are going to punish me for this.” She really would turn against him.
Fortunately, Zi Shang was not that psychotic. He reached out with his hand and caressed Ye Jiuge gently once, before speaking in a lowered voice, “Fool!”
