Cold-faced Empress

Thinking about her carefully planned scheme, Fu Siying couldn't help but want to add a few more elements to make it even more certain.

If others didn't believe Ning Ruicheng intended to commit indecent acts, she would let everyone see Ning Ruicheng's motives first! She had no intention of slowly tormenting Ning Ruicheng; failing to kill him in one blow was her failure and incompetence!

Fu Siying said to Wei Lanling nonchalantly, "After you arrived, did you thank Prince Ning again for saving your life?"

"No……"

"Hmm?" Fu Siying raised an eyebrow. "If you don't thank me, then all your efforts last time will have been in vain."

Wei Lanling pursed her lips tightly. Yes, all her previous efforts had been in vain. Not only had she fallen into the water for nothing, but she had also had intimate relations with Prince Ning for nothing, and she had made a fool of herself in front of all the noble ladies.

She had wanted to thank Prince Ning, but he only praised her for her painting skills before leaving with his companions, not giving her a chance to say anything more.

Hearing Fu Siying mention it, Wei Lanling was very interested, but she didn't dare to walk through the crowd of guests.

"I...I dare not."

“Hehe,” Fu Siying chuckled, stood up, “What are you afraid of? Come on, your cousin will take you there herself.”

Wei Lanling was overjoyed. Although she was a little afraid that Fu Siying would cause her trouble again, she couldn't resist the opportunity to get close to Prince Ning. After hesitating for a few moments, she followed Fu Siying.

Those who saw Fu Siying heading towards Ning Ruicheng gave her various looks. After all, quite a few people knew that Ning Ruicheng had feelings for Fu Siying, and besides, judging from the way the young master Ning was drunk today, he seemed to be heartbroken.

“Young Master Ning.” Fu Siying stopped beside Ning Ruicheng.

The drunken Ning Ruicheng looked up, stared for a while, and recognized the person in front of him as Fu Siying. His lips moved slightly: "Fu... Fu... Siying."

Fu Siying turned slightly to reveal Wei Lanling behind her: "Prince Ning generously saved my cousin from drowning. I left in a hurry that day without having a chance to thank Prince Ning. Today, I must properly toast Prince Ning."

After saying that, he gestured for Wei Lanling to step forward and offer a toast.

Despite the countless gazes, Wei Lanling shyly raised her wine glass and took half a step forward: "Lanling thanks Prince Ning for saving my life."

Ning Ruicheng hiccuped, refusing to glance at Wei Lanling, his eyes fixed on Fu Siying, as he swayed and struggled to his feet, using the table for support.

"This woman has a bland face and a timid demeanor; she's not even as good as my maid. How could I possibly be interested in her?" Prince Ning pointed at Wei Lanling's nose, blatantly humiliating her. "If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have saved her!"

Immediately, Wei Lanling covered her face, burst into tears, and lost all face.

Fu Siying disagreed: "After all, it was Prince Ning who saved my cousin."

"The grace of saving my life, shouldn't I... shouldn't I repay it with my body?"

Wei Lanling was stunned, her face instantly turning red: "Young Master Ning..."

Fu Siying smiled and asked, "Does Prince Ning hope that my cousin will offer herself to him?"

Reeking of alcohol and with bloodshot eyes, Ning Ruicheng suddenly waved his hand, slapping Wei Lanling across the face and knocking the wine glass out of her hand.

"I want you to repay me with your body!"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Prince Ning was clearly drunk; he was courting death, daring to utter such words!
