When he entered the restaurant, Liangyu did not find the man he was looking for. None of the restaurant patrons looked like a young prince or a handsome person.
"Miss, please sit down. What would you like to order?" a male waiter approached Liangyu.
Liangyu looked at Youyou, then Youyou who was talking to the waiter. Meanwhile, Liangyu went upstairs. Previously, the male waiter had reprimanded him and explained that if he wanted to go up, he had to pay the appropriate price.
Because the prices of the tables on the ground floor and on the second floor are different. "Miss, do you want to go up or just wait here?" Youyou asked.
"Just pay. I'll go up first." Liangyu ordered.
Liangyu's eyes were spoiled by the furniture in the restaurant. A restaurant whose interior no longer exists in modern times. When the feet reached a second door near the stairs, the newly purchased jade pendant suddenly seemed to shine, although only for a moment.
''Was that dazzling thing just now this jade? But, why?' Liangyu muttered in his heart.
Liangyu looked around the place once again. The restaurant was closed. Perfect for introverts, or those having meetings.
Before moving from the front of the second door there. The door opened and out came a man wearing a mask with a sharp gaze.
"Who are you?" the man next to him asked, but immediately pointed the sword at Liangyu's neck.
Liangyu's body suddenly stiffened, frozen and unable to move. She was afraid that the sword would hit the skin of his neck. But this girl tried to stay calm, so that the man pointing the sword at her would not be reckless.
"Sorry, I'm not a bad person," Liangyu's voice sounded shaky.
"Did you hear our conversation?" asked the masked man.
Liangyu immediately shook his head. "No, no, no. How could I have heard your conversation? I, I-I just got here," Liangyu replied, starting to get scared.
The masked man seemed to believe Liangyu's honesty. He glanced at the man beside him, then they just left. Finally, Liangyu could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Miss! Second Miss! Second Miss Qin Liangyu!" Youyou's voice was heard from the stairs, about to go up.
The two men turned their heads as Youyou called out to his young lady.
"Miss, why didn't you wait for me? I almost didn't find you earlier," Youyou asked, her breath coming out of breath.
'Qin Liangyu?' The masked man said Qin Liangyu name a little surprised.
"I told you, you just pay. I'm going up to look for the fourth prince. Unfortunately, this is a restaurant for introverts," Liangyu's annoyed face was clearly visible.
"What is that... In-intro.. Miss, what did you say just now?" Youyou asked.
'That girl, Qin Liangyu? Is that her? She....' the masked man's gaze made Liangyu uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Liangyu was very upset. She immediately looked away, then looked for a room with an open door. So that he could immediately order food.
'That guy keeps looking at me weirdly. Come on, let's find an empty place. I'm so hungry. You can order me some food later, okay?' Liangyu ordered.
"Emph!" The cute Youyou nodded enthusiastically.
Who would have thought, the two men who crossed paths with Qin Liangyu were the fourth prince and his confidant.
While in his horse carriage, the assistant asked, "Sir, did you hear that just now? That young lady called the girl we met at the door... Second Miss Qin. Is she…"
"Second miss Qin Liangyu?" continued Yi Sue—the fourth prince's personal assistant.
"Is he okay? Rumor has it he fell from the second floor. I see he's still in good health," said the fourth prince.
"Please, sir!" Si Yue put his hands together. "Do I need to investigate?" he asked.
"No need. Just keep an eye on it. Before we get the stamp from Ping Country, don't make too many movements," the fourth prince ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Ling Junjie—the fourth prince who had never appeared in this city had returned after years of living in the imperial military camp. Apart from undergoing a royal wedding, Ling Junjie's return is also a plan to clear his late mother's name. The mother had been accused of cruel accusations by the empress—the mother of the first prince. So, he has to undergo the death penalty.
"Sir, it seems like… this Second Miss Qin is looking for you. Are you going to see her?" Yi Sue asked.
"No need. She's just a pillar in my mission. Not that special to me." even though the lips say so, the heart certainly doesn't.
In the past, when the Emperor gave the decree of marriage gifts to Qin Liangyu, the fourth prince was very happy. Ling Junjie, when he was a child, often secretly paid attention to Qin Liangyu. Qin Liangyu in her childhood, was a cheerful little girl. Although she always received bad treatment from her concubine and sister, she still tried to look fine.
'She's already a beautiful girl. But why does she look so different? Before, she always had her head down and looked tired. Then at the restaurant…' The fourth prince was suspicious.
Meanwhile in the restaurant, Liangyu could only wait. Not knowing if the fourth prince had already left the place.
"Miss, it's getting dark. There's no sign of the fourth prince yet. How about we go home?" Youyou suggested.
Liangyu nodded his head. "You're right."
"According to my understanding from watching drama series, reading comics and novels about historical dramas, this fourth prince must actually be testing me," Liangyu said, very confident.
"Oh, second miss. You're talking nonsense again. I don't understand what you mean. Drama series? What's that?" Youyou asked innocently.
Only groans were heard from Liangyun's mouth. Finally, she decided to go home because it was already late.
"Miss, is the fourth prince not coming back? Why is there no news about the fourth prince's return?" Youyou asked.
"Maybe he died on the way, killed by bandits. Ahhh! I'm so upset. This fourth prince, playing hard to get? How handsome is he? Just an orphan like me—"
While she was cursing, Liangyu's horse-drawn carriage suddenly stopped on a road in the middle of a bamboo forest.
