Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night!-Chapter 201 - 191: The Power of the Plot Never Fades
Seeing Bai Susu startled, Feng Qiwu quickly said, "Don’t worry, I have already ordered an investigation into this matter. If I find out who is deliberately causing trouble, I will definitely not let them go." Bai Susu nodded heavily, "Yes! We must not spare the mastermind behind this."
She could understand that some would resort to schemes for power and wealth.
But to use the lives of so many innocent civilians to frame someone was excessive.
Such people who spread disease intentionally, do they really have no fear of divine retribution in the future?
...
Time flies.
In no time, Lin Changyue’s birthday banquet arrived.
Bai Susu had Spring Peach and Warm Summer prepare the gift for Lin Changyue early in the morning, and then rode a carriage to the Lin Family.
Upon arrival, she realized that Lin Changyue had invited only a few familiar noblewomen for her birthday this time.
As soon as those few got off the carriage and saw Bai Susu, they were momentarily stunned, but then quickly approached to greet her.
"Miss Bai, you’ve come to attend Changyue’s birthday banquet too, what a delightful surprise." A woman dressed in light yellow stepped forward enthusiastically towards Bai Susu.
She was Li Siyu, who had also sent Bai Susu an invitation.
Seeing Li Siyu looking very friendly, Bai Susu smiled and nodded at her, "You’re too kind, Miss Li. It’s getting late, why don’t we go find Miss Lin now?"
"Yes, yes, this is not the place to talk. Let’s quickly find Changyue and sit down to chat warmly!" Li Siyu reacted immediately.
The other noblewomen nodded in agreement.
Then they consciously waited for Bai Susu to go first, and then followed her to the Lin Family’s gate, showing great respect.
Bai Susu couldn’t help but nod secretly at this scene.
Although she had yet to become the Crown Princess Consort officially, it was obvious that these noblewomen were quite polite and cautious, knowing to let her go ahead to show respect.
She soon smiled and said, "Alright, let’s go inside quickly, in case Miss Lin has been waiting."
Just as Bai Susu finished speaking, the Lin Mansion’s steward respectfully came forward and personally escorted Bai Susu and the others inside to Lin Changyue’s courtyard.
Even though it was her birthday, Lin Changyue’s face showed no sign of joy, but rather a hint of worry.
Yet when she saw her friends had arrived, Lin Changyue’s worried expression instantly vanished, replaced by a soft smile.
"Si Yu, you’re here? Please have a seat."
She then looked at Bai Susu seriously, "Thank you, Miss Bai, for honoring my birthday banquet with your presence. Today it’s just us, so feel free to enjoy yourself thoroughly."
Others said her brother wasn’t on good terms with the Crown Prince, but she understood that her brother cared deeply about the Crown Prince.
But that concern was far from the simple hostility the world perceived.
Bai Susu was already set in stone as the Crown Princess Consort; getting along well with her would be beneficial for the Lin Family and her brother.
Moreover, she admired Bai Susu greatly.
After all, she was the only woman the Crown Prince had publicly pursued and held hands with.
Anyone else would have been scared out of their wits, but Bai Susu stood firm before the Crown Prince.
It’s no wonder that whenever noblewomen from across the city were mentioned, Bai Susu was the first name to come to mind.
Her character and courage put her miles ahead of other noblewomen.
...
Bai Susu didn’t realize Lin Changyue had built up so much admiration for her in her mind.
Looking at Lin Changyue’s beautiful face, Bai Susu silently admired the beauty while smiling, "Yes, I will. This is the birthday gift I especially prepared for Miss Lin. It’s not something valuable, I hope you won’t mind."
With that, she instructed Spring Peach to bring out the pre-made birthday cake.
Seeing Bai Susu have someone bring up an enormous wooden box, the other noblewomen couldn’t help but look over curiously.
Li Siyu even took the initiative to ask, "Miss Bai, what gift did you prepare? I seem to smell a sweet scent?"
Moreover, for the box to be so large, what’s inside surely isn’t small, how could it not be valuable?
Hearing Li Siyu’s words, Bai Susu smiled and looked at Lin Changyue, "You should ask Miss Lin about that."
Li Siyu immediately looked expectantly at Lin Changyue, "Changyue, won’t you hurry to see? I really smell a sweet scent! I feel it might be food inside!"
After this remark, the other noblewomen nodded slightly.
"We smell it too."
Lin Changyue felt a bit helpless, "Si Yu, isn’t it a bit rude?"
How could you open the gift in front of the giver?
Li Siyu couldn’t help but reply sheepishly, "True."
Bai Susu saw this and couldn’t help but laugh, "Actually, it can be opened now, and the gift... if shared with everyone, it would be even more enjoyable."
Seeing Bai Susu say so, Lin Changyue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then pardon me."
She proceeded to remove the lid from the box.
When the lid was opened, a rich, sweet scent wafted out, instantly lifting Lin Changyue’s spirits.
She really liked the scent.
Looking down, she saw inside the box was something resembling a large pastry, adorned with fruits and flowers, along with messages of blessings for her.
Lin Changyue couldn’t help but look up at Bai Susu.
Before she could inquire, Li Siyu asked curiously, "Miss Bai, is this a pastry? It’s so beautiful!"
Most importantly, it really smelled delicious.
Bai Susu elegantly said, "I concocted a large cake, with some tricks. I hope Miss Lin won’t mind."
Lin Changyue quickly replied, "Of course not? I love it, thank you!"
Just smelling the scent was very comforting.
Finding out the cake could be cut and shared with others, Lin Changyue did not hesitate to have her maid bring a knife to cut the cake.
Bai Susu simply sat aside with a smile watching.
In her heart, she thought: It seems today’s storyline won’t follow the original script.
Feng Qingyang likely wouldn’t appear at Lin Changyue’s birthday banquet.
But Bai Susu didn’t expect, man’s calculations are inferior to heaven’s calculations.
The power of the storyline has never vanished.
Just as the cake was brought before the ladies, before anyone could taste it, Li Cheng’s shrill voice was heard from outside, "His Majesty arrives!"
Everyone inside was stunned and immediately got up to prepare to greet.
Bai Susu’s heart sank, but the next moment she quickly grabbed a handful of cream from the cake and smeared it on Lin Changyue’s exquisitely beautiful face, ruining her ethereal charm.
