Strongest Eccentric Consort

Apart from that episode involving Mu Wushuang, everyone had a happy time eating meals at Baicao Garden.

Cooperating with Lou Xiaoxiao, one by one, they repeatedly ordered the most expensive dishes dozens of times.

When it was time to foot the bill, the person-in-charge greeted them with a beaming smile. “Miss Lou, as you’re Baicao Garden’s VIP, all expenses are 50 percent off. Today’s bill is 365,000,000 silver notes. After 50 percent discount, it is—”

“No need for a discount.” Lou Qianxue also smiled. “I’m very satisfied with your service today. I plan to pay in full. Take the additional amount as a reward for all of you.”

“… Real… Really?” The person-in-charge was so surprised that he blurted out.

His face turned red as he hurriedly salvaged the situation. “So, Miss, are you paying by cash or card…”

“Um, is Third Prince still around?”

The person-in-charge froze. “Third Prince? It seems he left a short while ago.”

“Oh? How does he pay his usual expenses at Baicao Garden…”

“It’s charged to his account. The bill is sent to his mansion for settlement at the end of the month.”

“Is that so? Third Prince earlier said that he would pay the bill for our meal. You can charge it to his account.”

“Uh…”

“When Third Prince said this, your female receptionist was also present there. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

After a long time, the expenses for the meal were successfully charged to Third Prince’s account.

However…

When they left Baicao Garden, they soon met Third Prince again.

“Miss Lou Qianxue.”

Third Prince took the initiative and went forward. “I’ve waited a long time for you.”

“Huh?”

Considering her current look, the Prince shouldn’t be able to recognize her…

“Can I have a word with you?”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “Sure.”

She wanted to see what Third Prince was up to!

“Miss Qianxue, I wonder if Wushuang has told you about my thoughts?” After the two of them were in private, Third Prince hurriedly asked her.

Lou Qianxue shook her head.

“Then, Miss Qianxue, what do you think about the meal today?”

“Very good.”

“Did you like it?”

“Yes.”

“If you liked it, I can treat you again next time.”

“Huh?” A strange smile appeared on Lou Qianxue’s face. “Sure. If Your Royal Highness doesn’t despise me for eating so much today and if you’re still willing to treat me, I’ll be more than happy to oblige.”

“Hahaha, Miss Lou, you’re really funny. How much can a young lady like you eat? How can I be unwilling… However, there’s a misunderstanding between Lou Xiaoxiao and me. Do you know?”

“Um.” Lou Qianxue lowered her eyes, and a dim light of ridicule swept past them. She vaguely said, “I roughly know…”

“It was only a misunderstanding! That forced marriage was my servant’s idea. I did not know about it before, and I did not intentionally push Miss Xiaoxiao toward danger! Miss Qianxue, can you explain this matter to Miss Xiaoxiao and ‘Jade-Masked Blast’?”

“…”

“If Miss Xiaoxiao and Jade-Masked Blast are willing to forgive me, I’ll treat you to more delicious food.”

Lou Qianxue lightly coughed. “Alright. I’ll help you pass these words.”

“That’s great! Miss Qianxue, you’re really reasonable. I like you for being so thoughtful. You’re more likable than any of them.”

“Haha.”

Lou Qianxue was done talking to Third Prince in less than an hour.

After that, everyone parted and went their own way. Those who had classes went to the academy, and those who didn’t, returned home…

An Shaoning was one of those who didn’t have classes.

However…

“Shaoning, hold on. I have something to talk to you about.”

Lou Qianxue stopped An Shaoning.

Everyone froze. They subconsciously glanced at Lou Xiaoxiao.

Lou Xiaoxiao also froze for a while, but then she said with a smile, “What’s there to look? We’re going to be late for our lessons! We can’t compare to those who haven’t started school!”

After everyone left, An Shaoning gently smiled and said, “Miss Qianxue, what’s the matter? You especially made me stay. Do you have any tasks for me?”

“Indeed.” Lou Qianxue nodded. “I need the An family to help me with something.”

“Huh? What is it?”
