Chapter 175: Are You Not Allowed to Drink the Tea Rewarded by This Princess?

"Princess Qi Yu, please have some tea," Zhirou said with a smile, holding out a cup of tea to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu scattered a handful of fish feed and did not accept the tea nor did she look at her, letting Zhirou hold the cup aloft.

Shi Zhou, with a sword in her arms, frowned and watched this maid, whose presence was a mystery.

No good deed goes unpunished; either a trickster or a thief, Shi Zhou thought dismissively.

However, she wanted to see how Qi Yu would deal with Mrs. Xie, so she stood by and quietly observed the situation.

Zhirou had only glimpsed Qi Yu briefly at the banquet and was somewhat surprised when she learned she was the Princess.

She could not believe such a beautiful and seemingly young woman had managed to survive in the capital, a place crawling with danger.

But she didn't regard this ethereal-looking princess highly; what could a lady raised in seclusion possibly know?
