Fortunately, she followed quickly and was able to see the eldest prince and the other man on the second floor. She lifted her skirt and chased after them.

She followed them all the way to the Xiangyuan in the teahouse and saw the two of them go in. Wan Shufang then stopped and hid at the door to eavesdrop.

But suddenly, singing was heard from inside, followed by the sound of piano. The piano music made Wan Shufang unable to hear the conversation inside at all.

"Damn it, these two bastards are so good at enjoying themselves that they even asked a girl to sing." She gritted her teeth and moved closer, her ears almost brushing against the crack in the door, but still got nothing.

"No, if you don't go in, you won't be able to hear what they are planning."

At this moment, Wan Shufang looked up and saw a dancer about to enter the room. She quickly got up, sneaked over, and knocked out the last dancer.

After dragging the person to a secluded place, Wan Shufang quickly took off her clothes and put them on, then covered her face and blended in with the dancers.

As the sound of piano gradually rose, the dancers swung their long sleeves, their eyes were as charming as silk, their steps were as graceful as lotus flowers, and they twisted their graceful bodies. Wan Shufang mixed in the crowd and danced along.

She didn't know how to dance this, but fortunately she was standing at the end, so it wasn't too abrupt. Besides, the two men were busy talking and didn't look at the dancer much.

Seeing the two of them getting so close, Wan Shufang frowned, feeling uncertain and confused. "This Wu Jianqing and the eldest prince definitely have a special relationship. Could it be that the eldest prince is the one behind the Wu family?"

Perhaps her gaze was too scorching, and Wu Jianqing felt it immediately. He turned around suddenly, frowned and looked at Wan Shufang. Their eyes met, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Wu Jianqing came from a powerful family and was used to seeing the tricks used by teahouse dancers to fawn over the young masters of wealthy families. He thought Wan Shufang wanted to do the same, so he waved at her.

"come here."

At his command, the piano music stopped, and everyone made way for Wan Shufang, exposing her to the crowd. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare my life!"

Facing the delicate beauty, Wu Jianqing rarely showed a good face and started to explain: "You kneel down at every turn, and I didn't say anything. I just asked you to come over and pour the wine."

"Why don't you go over there quickly?" The courtesan also echoed, smiling at the two of them: "My sister is ignorant, I am sorry to have made you two laugh."

As she spoke, she pushed Wan Shufang. Seeing this, Wan Shufang had no choice but to walk forward, hoping that the eldest prince was blind and couldn't recognize her.

Fortunately, she was wearing a veil, so the eldest prince just glanced at her and didn't recognize her, so he continued drinking.

Wan Shufang knelt beside Wu Jianqing, picked up the wine glass and poured wine for both of them. The singing and dancing continued in the side room. She was close enough to hear their conversation.

"Your Highness, we have already completed the task you requested. The plan went smoothly. We guarantee that Yongzhou City will lose a great general this time."

"Well done! I will reward you handsomely after the mission is accomplished." The eldest prince patted Wu Jianqing on the shoulder and snorted smugly, "Hmph, so-called Duke, you still lose to me in the end."

"Yes, yes, your highness's heroic demeanor is not something that lowly people can compare to."

Wu Jianqing flattered him and respectfully raised his glass to toast the eldest prince. The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they were celebrating the success of their plan in advance.

Looking at the smug looks of the two men, Wan Shufang gritted her teeth, guessing that they were plotting something, but they didn't say it clearly, so she couldn't guess it for the time being, and she became more and more annoyed.

Wan Shufang was distracted by her thoughts, until a package was handed to her. She suddenly came to her senses and stared at the package.

She was a doctor and often dealt with medicinal herbs, so she immediately smelled the scent of medicine.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Jianqing reached out to take the medicine bag. As soon as he got it, Wan Shufang hurriedly pretended to pour wine. Her body tilted and accidentally bumped into his hand. With a "pop", the medicine bag fell to the ground.

"Sir, please spare my life. I deserve to die." Wan Shufang kowtowed and begged for mercy, but when no one was paying attention, she secretly took a little sample of the medicine powder and hid it in her sleeve.

Her actions were not seen by the two of them, but Wu Jianqing was dissatisfied with Wan Shufang's clumsy appearance, so he raised his foot and kicked her hard, knocking her to the ground.

"Bitch, if you can't serve me well, get out of here."

Wan Shufang endured the pain and got up from the ground: "Yes, yes, I will leave now, thank you very much, sir."

After kneeling in thanks, Wan Shufang lowered her head and tried to leave. The eldest prince, alert as he was, thought for a moment and realized something was wrong. He called out to her, "Stop."

"Take off your veil."

He stared at Wan Shufang closely, not missing any of her movements, while Wu Jianqing squatted down and picked up the medicine bag.

"Your Highness, what is this you gave me?"

"It's a good thing. It will be very useful at a critical moment. Just keep it." As he spoke, the eldest prince's eyes never moved away, still fixed on Wan Shufang: "You, take off your veil."

He stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Wan Shufang, but the teahouse had a rule that women performing could not take off their veils, so as to avoid being held against them. Therefore, the courtesan hurried out to plead for her.

"My dear guests, the teahouse has a rule that girls cannot take off their veils. She was clumsy and will be punished later. I hope you will forgive her this time."

"Shut up, His Highness said, take off your veil."

The eldest prince refused to give in and even got angry. Now, the courtesan did not dare to speak for Wan Shufang anymore.

Looking at his disgusting face, Wan Shufang took a deep breath and was about to take out the medicine powder in the space to fight him to the death.

At the critical moment, the teahouse madam walked in.

She was wearing colorful clothes, fanning herself, and walked over with a smile. She also slapped Wan Shufang in the face and said, "You little bitch, go down and get your punishment."

As she spoke, she looked at the eldest prince again and soothed him softly, "Alas, Your Highness, you are a frequent visitor to this place. You know that a new sister is bound to make mistakes."

"However, the person I personally selected has an absolutely clean background. Your Highness can rest assured. Just consider it a favor to me and not break this rule."

Hearing this, the eldest prince pursed his lips, said nothing, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. Seeing him nod, the madam immediately gave Wan Shufang a look.

Wan Shufang understood immediately and left in a hurry. She found the unconscious dancer, changed her clothes back, and then left the teahouse.

But he didn't notice that there was a little tail following him.

She returned all the way to the Su Mansion, but before she reached home, she ran into a wall of people. Seeing that she was being followed, Yun Muyan grabbed her hand.

"Qingqing, the lantern festival is very lively today. Come on, I'll take you to see the lantern festival." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wan Shufang to answer, but pulled her and ran away.

They turned left and right, blended into the crowd, and were dodging something. Wan Shufang was still a little confused and couldn't see the person in front of her clearly. She could only be pulled by him to run. When they reached a lively place, the two of them had successfully shaken off the people who were following them.

Wan Shufang was finally able to catch her breath. She held her waist and turned around to see that it was him. She was immediately surprised.
