Chapter 5149: 5.0901 No Face Left

Your dumb luck is indeed quite good! Qiao Mu thought to herself.

She then heard the maid's voice outside become urgent again, "Eldest Young Lady, may this servant come in now?"

"Squeak!" Fang Liuying pulled open the two doors with a strained expression, stepping out. She blocked the doorway, her gaze coldly sweeping over the peeking maid.

"What are you looking at? You have no manners. What are you doing in my dangerous alchemy room when there's nothing wrong?"

The maid lowered her head, secretly pouting with disdain, thinking: If my young lady hadn't ordered me to come and coax you over, who would want to come to this dangerous, broken alchemy room of yours? This cursed place explodes all the time; all the servants in the manor always keep their distance from this place, running as far as possible! As if I like coming here, if it weren't for…

The maid's eyes darted around. She smiled and stepped forward to bow to Fang Liuying, saying, "Eldest Young Lady, this servant was ordered to invite both the Eldest Young Lady and the Crown Princess to Willow Garden."

"The banquet hasn't started yet. My young lady has invited many young ladies from aristocratic families to Willow Garden to admire the koi."

Fang Liuying wore an uninterested expression, waving her hand. "No need. I still have some elixirs to refine."

The maid couldn't help but roll her eyes, suppressing her disdain. She forced a careful smile and said ingratiatingly, "Alchemy can be done anytime! My young lady said it's rare for so many sisters to gather. She hopes the Eldest Young Lady won't neglect these guests."

"Besides, if you don't go, then the Crown Princess… might want to see it."

"No!" The little Crown Princess's crisp two words immediately stopped all the maid's unspoken words in her throat.

This Crown Princess is truly unfeeling. The words had already reached this point, and she flatly refused. This truly… gave her young lady no face at all.

If the little stoic knew of the maid's internal grumbling, she would coldly retort: Face? How much is your second young lady even worth to think I'd give her face, heh heh!

"This servant Xiaomian greets the Crown Princess." The maid nimbly scurried forward, passing the Eldest Young Lady, Fang Liuying, who was blocking the doorway, and eagerly bowed to Qiao Mu.

"Crown Princess, our pond in Willow Garden has recently received many new, precious varieties of koi. The Second Young Lady thought that since the rain has stopped and the sky has brightened considerably, she would accompany the young ladies to stroll in Willow Garden. If the Crown Princess could grace us with her presence…"

"Is there something wrong with your ears? This Princess said she won't grace you!" This one sentence again blocked the maid.

Fang Liuying: "..." If it weren't for the little Crown Princess being in the room right behind her, Young Lady Fang would have really burst out laughing right now. She hadn't expected this Crown Princess to be such a person. So straightforward and direct, simply adorable…

The maid, named Xiaomian, felt her face burning. The Crown Princess's utterly unforgiving two sentences were practically slapping her young lady in the face; she truly gave her young lady no face at all. Xiaomian's primary task right now was not necessarily to invite the Crown Princess, but her young lady had said that Eldest Young Lady must be invited. If she failed to bring her now, she wouldn't escape a beating herself, and that would be truly miserable. Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
