Chapter 948: Fallen Into Lu Liangwei’s Trap

In the living room.

Lu Liangwei looked at Wanyan Luosang and said sarcastically, “The tea’s not poisoned. You can drink it without worry, Princess Luosang.”

Wanyan Luosang was a little sheepish. Even the slowest person would be able to detect the sarcasm in her words.

“I’m not as cautious as you are, Your Highness.” Twisting her lips into a smile, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Unruffled, Lu Liangwei stuck a bamboo pick into a piece of cake and chewed on it slowly.

She was still silent even after Wanyan Luosang had finished her cup of tea, and the latter could not help growing agitated.

“I believe you didn’t bring me to the Grand Princess Mansion just to watch you have tea, Your Highness.”

Lu Liangwei’s lashes fluttered as she cast a glance at her and said calmly, “The Grand Princess Mansion serves great tea and cakes. You should try them, Princess Luosang.” After a pause, she smiled and added, “I’m sure you can’t find dainty cakes like these in Danjue. You shouldn’t miss out, Princess. They’re really delicious.”

When she ate, her movements were graceful and elegant.

No matter how much Wanyan Luosang disliked her, she had to admit that Lu Liangwei was stunning, and even the simple act of eating, when performed by her, was so pleasing to the eyes.

No wonder the Emperor of Great Shang was so fond of her.

Immense jealousy bubbled inside her uncontrollably.

Digging her fingers on her lap into her dress, she could no longer contain herself. “Lu Liangwei, what on earth do you want? Just cut the sarcasm and get to the point.”

Lu Liangwei sighed and said wearily, “It’s true that I asked you out today just to have a nice chat with you. You worry too much, Princess Luosang.”

Wanyan Luosang, “...”

After a pause, Lu Liangwei continued, “A few days ago, I heard from Zhi’er that you promised to have his father’s mount transported to Great Shang for him. When are you going to fulfill your promise, Princess Luosang?”

Wanyan Luosang’s expression froze in place, and she averted her gaze in alarm.

How did Lu Liangwei know about this?

Was she already suspecting something?

Digging her nails into her palms, she forced herself to quell her panic and maintain her composure. “What do you mean, Your Highness? I don’t have the faintest idea what you’re saying.”

Lu Liangwei’s eyes darkened. “So you’ve never made such a promise to Zhi’er?”

“Why would I say that to him?” To sound more credible, Wanyan Luosang immediately added, “His father’s beloved horse died long ago. No matter how much I love Zhi’er, I can’t bring his father’s horse back to life and transport it to Great Shang for him.”

“Liar! You lied to me, Grandaunt…”

The moment Wanyan Luosang’s words left her mouth, a loud wail was heard. The next second, a small child dashed into the living room and glared at Wanyan Luosang in fury.

Wanyan Luosang shot up from her seat in shock, the rapid motion knocking over the teacups on the table.

Crash…

The cups crashed to the floor, instantly creating a mess.

However, Wanyan Luosang could not care less about that. She whipped her head around to look at Lu Liangwei, her heart skipping a beat when she met her knowing eyes.

She seemed to have fallen into Lu Liangwei’s trap. In fact, she had foolishly walked right into it herself.

Zhi’er had probably been here for a while and heard her entire conversation with Lu Liangwei.

Amid her distress, Wanyan Zhi suddenly grabbed her hand and clamped his jaws down hard on the back of her hand.
