The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 200 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

Seeing this, Hongdou snatched the bowl from Wang Xiuer's hand and drank it. The moment she took a sip of the iced fruit tea, she was shocked. It had a cool fruit and tea aroma, and a hint of sweetness, which made her feel very cool when she entered her stomach.

Lan Rufeng looked at Hongdou who was staring at her in silence after drinking the iced fruit tea, and asked softly: "Sister Hongdou, does it taste bad? If not, Xiu'er will make it again."

"No, it tastes great. I'll bring it to you, young master." Hongdou said as she dropped the bowl, reached out to take the plate, served the iced fruit tea in the ice cube box, and left. Lan Rufeng smiled coldly and followed her out of the kitchen.

Bai Chuxuan looked at the tea poured by Hongdou and did not move, but stared at Wang Xiuer who was standing beside him.

As soon as Lan Rufeng saw Bai Chuchao's look, she knew that he was afraid that she would poison him. She sneered in her heart and asked, "Sir, are you afraid that it's too cold? I'll try it first." As she spoke, she picked up the tea poured by Hongdou and drank it in one gulp. After drinking it, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "It's delicious and cool."

Hongdou took another cup and poured it for his master. Bai Chuchao took the cup and took a sip. The icy tea tasted refreshing and had a hint of tea fragrance and sweetness. He unexpectedly drank all the ice tea in the cup. He motioned Hongdou to pour more and drank several cups in a row.

"It tastes good. Where did you learn this?" Bai Chu asked.

"Sir, I did it myself." Lan Rufeng answered truthfully.

When Bai Chuchao heard this, his eyes remained calm and fell on the pair of jade hands that Wang Xiuer placed in front of her.

Lan Rufeng saw Bai Chuchao's eyes fixed on her hand, and knew that he was bound to be suspicious and had already sent someone to investigate her. Go ahead and investigate! The money was enough, and the woman would definitely not betray her for the sake of her own life and her daughter's life, so she was not afraid of his investigation.

"Hongdou, please go down." Bai Chuchao asked Hongdou to go down and beckoned Wang Xiuer to come and serve. Hongdou reluctantly left, and Lan Rufeng stepped forward to pour tea for Bai Chuchao.

"Xiu'er, your eyes remind me of an old friend." Bai Chuchao said while staring into Wang Xiu'er's eyes.

"Old friend..." Lan Rufeng was startled, but soon calmed down and said, "The old friend of yours must be very good-looking, very beautiful."

"Maybe! It's a pity that he is a man. It would be great if he was a woman." Bai Chu raised the corner of his mouth with a faint smile, and his mind unconsciously flashed through Lan Rufeng's tall and jade-like figure.

"Male, male..." Lan Rufeng pretended to be surprised, covering his mouth and looking at Bai Chuchao.

"A frail scholar, a man that you both admire and want to kill." Bai Chuchao said as he picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Scholar!" Lan Rufeng thought to herself, and asked carefully: "Sir, you have confused me with your words. I am so weak, yet you admire me and want to get rid of me. Isn't that a mixture of love and hate?"

"Love and hate..." Bai Chuchao suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth when he heard Wang Xiuer's words and looked at the teacup in his hand.

Hongmei and Hongdou were sticking to the door, listening to the conversation between His Highness and Wang Xiuer. When they heard the person His Highness mentioned, they roughly guessed who it was. It was Lan Rufeng from the Southern Country.

Seeing that Bai Chuchao was staring at the cup without saying anything, Lan Rufeng didn't ask any more questions and just watched over him quietly.

"The people you admire in your life are not around you. Why is he so lucky? Why did he meet him?" Bai Chuchao murmured to himself.

"Who the hell are you talking about, you son of a bitch?" Lan Rufeng cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Sir, you have confused me."

"Prince Rong of the Southern Kingdom and Lan Rufeng, one is a famous war king, and the other is a seemingly frail but talented quack doctor." Bai Chuchao put down the teacup with a smile, patted his shoulder with his backhand, and turned sideways to signal Wang Xiuer to give him a massage.

When Lan Rufeng heard Bai Chuchao talking about her and that bastard Mu Rongchen, she rolled her eyes in her heart and stepped forward to pinch his shoulders and said, "Sir, I have heard of Prince Rong of the Southern Kingdom. I heard that he is a powerful figure, but I have never heard of Lan Rufeng."

Bai Chuchao said "hmm" lightly, closed his eyes and rested, letting Wang Xiuer massage his shoulders. The force was neither too strong nor too weak, just right. He didn't know why. It was unlike him to talk so much to this girl.

"Qiayang Pass" Lan Zhentian and others received a letter from Beili. Seeing that Bai Chuchao agreed to replace people at noon tomorrow, they and Heng Linye and his son acted according to the plan. They decided that if Lan Rufeng did not come back by then, they would let Heng Huaian pretend to be Lan Rufeng to delay time.

During the dinner at the Wu Mansion, everyone was busy serving food. Lan Rufeng made iced tea according to Bai Chuchao's instructions and brought it to everyone for tasting. She knew that Bai Yue taught a few guys poison, so they would not be stupid enough to poison.

Everyone tried the iced fruit tea made by Wang Xiuer and found it to be thirst-quenching and refreshing, so they didn't look down on her so much anymore.

After the meal, Bai Chuchao asked Wang Xiuer to go downstairs for dinner and led everyone back to the courtyard.

As soon as Bai Ye entered the room, he found out Wang Xiuer's identity from Wangjia Village and informed His Highness that it was true.

When Bai Chuchao heard that Wang Xiu'er was indeed from Wangjia Village, he waved his hand and asked Wu Ye to go back to the camp and ask someone to fetch water for him to bathe.

Mu Rongchen sneaked into the Wu Mansion and dealt with a young groom who was feeding horses in the stable. He changed his clothes, stuffed him into a haystack, walked out of the stable, and sneaked into the mansion.

Lan Rufeng quickly filled her stomach and returned to her room. She saw that Hongye and the other three people who lived with her had already washed and dressed. She didn't even have a basin, so she left the room under the pretext of going to find a basin, and sneaked her way towards the pavilion to the west where she had seen guards during the day.

After dark, Guan Zhilou and Qiu Shang of the "Beili Camp" stole two jars of wine from the kitchen, avoided the patrol and entered the granary.

Yang Feng was about to burn the grain, but when he heard the noise, he decisively put away the fire starter, hid behind the grain pile, and watched the two people coming in with bated breath.

"Sprinkle it evenly. We can't let them have a chance to put out the fire. Only then will we have a chance." Guan Zhilou whispered to Qiu Shang, and the two of them began to sprinkle the wine.

When Yang Feng heard that it was Guanzhilou, he called out softly, "Master Guanlou," and walked out from behind the grain pile. Guanzhilou and Qiu Shang were almost scared to death, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Yang, why are you here?" Guanzhilou gestured to Qiu Shang to pour the wine and walked up to Yang Feng.

"The prince and Master Yue are here too. I was just about to burn this thing to distract them and buy time for the prince to rescue Miss Liang." Yang Feng answered truthfully.

"Then let's hurry up." Guan Zhilou said, and the three of them poured wine together. After pouring it, they went out of the granary, went around the back of the granary and threw a few tinderboxes into it. Soon, flames shot up to the sky. The three of them deliberately shouted that there was a fire and took advantage of the chaos to leave the camp.

"General, it's bad, the granary is flooded." Zhang Yuxin ran to report to the general.

As soon as Wu Ye arrived at the camp, he heard that the granary was flooded. He rushed out and saw the flames rising from the direction of the granary. He sighed, "Not good!" and hurriedly ordered: "Yuxin, seal off the camp immediately, send someone back to the palace to report to His Highness, and send a message to General Chen to search for any suspicious persons in the camp."

Zhang Yuxin nodded, turned around and told someone to go to the palace to pass the message to His Highness, and also asked someone to notify Chen Fan who was guarding the city to quickly seal off the entire camp and search it.

Wu Ye rushed to the granary and almost fainted when he saw the fire rising to the sky. He smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the air and knew that there must be spies in the camp. The weather was hot, and the soldiers were not able to control the fire at all due to the speed of fetching water. He was so angry that he clenched his fists and led his men out of the camp and rushed to the mansion.
