Cold-faced Empress

And her goal was to get Mo Canglan to appear at the celebratory banquet! Now that the Fu family was tied to Prince Mu, the main family couldn't escape either!

She wanted to make this grand celebration a perfect feast for her, and she wanted to make her family's good plans all go to waste!

Just as she was about to give up and leave, Fu Siying raised her hand to lift the cotton curtain, but then abruptly stopped, turned around, and strode back towards Mo Canglan. This time, she walked even closer, directly to Mo Canglan's side.

She reached out and grabbed Mo Canglan's sleeve, her voice full of grievance: "It's a banquet to celebrate our engagement, aren't you really going?"

Her eyes drooped slightly, making her look somewhat pitiful.

This scene caused the attendant not far away to take a sudden half-step back.

Mo Canglan glanced at Fu Siying's hand, which was tightly gripping the hem of his clothes. The hand was fair and smooth, with clearly defined muscles and bones.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and stared directly at her, asking in a cold voice, "Are you trying to be cute?"

Suddenly meeting his cold, indifferent eyes, Fu Siying desperately resisted the urge to let go, almost clutching the hem of her clothes: "Mmm!"

Does acting cute work?

"..." She swallowed hard. "We'll have to try to find out."

"Let go."

Fu Siying quickly let go of his hand, then clutched the hem of her clothes, lowered her head, and looked even more aggrieved.

Mo Canglan smoothed out the wrinkles in Fu Siying's clothes, looked Fu Siying up and down, who looked pitiful, and pondered silently for a while.

After a long pause, he said, "I will consider it. You may leave now."

This was the third time he had indicated his intention to see her out, so Fu Siying didn't want to be shameless and continue to pester him.

She could only walk towards the door, glancing back every few steps, still speaking in a soft, sweet voice: "Then you should think it over carefully."

"You hurt me before, aren't you going to offer any compensation?"

"I will wait for you."

Mo Canglan cast a cold glance at her, but seeing that she didn't restrain herself at all, he looked away and turned his gaze to his book.

Reaching the curtain, Fu Siying slowly put on her veil, then parted the gauze curtain from the inside to the sides, revealing a pretty little face. She didn't forget to emphasize, "It's our engagement celebration banquet, you must come!" There was a hint of ambiguous affection in her tone.

Sitting on the soft couch, Mo Canglan glanced at her and saw her winking at him. He immediately turned away, leaving Fu Siying with his back turned, as if he couldn't bear to look at the tigress acting cute.

"Humph!"

Fu Siying stamped her foot, gave a spoiled snort, and finally turned and left. Mo Canglan remained in the room, his voice filled with helplessness: "Truly... women and petty men are the hardest to deal with. If you get too close, they become disrespectful; if you keep your distance, they resent you."

The attendant sighed, "Miss Fu's temper is truly indescribable." Is she some kind of face-changing artist, a master of disguise?

The ever-changing enchantress, Miss Fu, immediately fell silent the moment she lifted the cotton curtain. Her audacity in trying to charm Prince Mu was truly astounding, as if she'd squandered all her good fortune from several lifetimes.

Suddenly, an extreme idea popped into her head: she would use her coquettishness to disgust Mo Canglan to death!

Fu Siying attracted a lot of attention as she stepped out of the small building. The reason was simple: she was the only one selected in the recent examination. During the break, both those who had been there before and the newcomers waited for her to come out so they could get a good look at her.

She's the first female retainer of the Prince Mu's mansion!

Upon spotting Lang Junsong, Fu Siying was about to greet him when she was stopped by a servant from the Prince's residence.

"Good girl, this is your waist token. From now on, you can use this token to enter and exit the outer courtyard of the Mu Prince's Mansion. If you do not have a place to stay outside the mansion, the Mu Prince's Mansion can arrange accommodation for you. In addition..."
