Su Fuliu then remembered that when he met Xiao Nian that day, he really didn't say a single word from beginning to end: "I'm sorry, young master, I accidentally bumped into you that time, and I haven't apologized to you yet. My tongue was injured at the time, so I couldn't speak and that's why I didn't say a word from beginning to end."
"I see. Is your tongue better now?" Xiao Nian asked with concern.
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes, of course it's fine, otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to the young master here now."
Xiao Nian smiled and said, "That's true, please sit down."
"Well... my status is too lowly to sit at the same table as the Princess and the young master." Su Fuliu knew this basic etiquette.
"Oh, just sit down. If you don't sit down, are you going to stand there and watch us eat? I called you over here to have a meal and talk things over. If you stand here, how am I supposed to talk?" Xiao Luo said.
Su Fuliu was taken aback for a moment, but finally sat down: "I wonder, what brings the princess here?"
"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to call you over so we can get to know each other." Xiao Luo looked at Su Fuliu with a silly grin.
Yesterday, she was so focused on watching Feng Muting that she didn't pay any attention to the servants beside him. Now that she's looking at them alone, she realizes how handsome they are.
As expected of a good-looking person, even the people serving them are good-looking.
Only servants of this "quality" are qualified to serve Feng Muting.
Su Fuliu felt a little uncomfortable being scrutinized by Xiao Luo: "I am just a lowly servant. Why would the princess and the young master want to get to know me? I suppose they want to use me to make contact with our prince?"
Xiao Luo was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "You're quite clever. I was wondering how to bring this up with you, but you brought it up yourself. That's perfect."
Su Fuliu replied, "I would never do anything to harm Your Highness!"
He needs to state his position first.
He once bowed down for five hundred taels of gold, but he will never do it a second time.
Although Feng Muting is fierce, he is a good prince, and the people are blessed to have him around.
Therefore, he had to let Xiao Luo and Xiao Nian know his bottom line.
Xiao Luo couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you think I would do anything to harm the Prince?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback.
Then Xiao Luo said, "I love Your Highness so much, how could I bear to hurt you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu felt a tightness in his chest. He glanced at the window and found it was closed, which explained the tightness in his chest.
At this moment, Xiao Nian suddenly stood up, startling Xiao Luo and Su Fuliu, who were wondering what he was going to do.
Chapter 45 Two Extremes
Xiao Nian stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
Then he asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
Su Fuliu was taken aback, because Xiao Nian was speaking to him.
Could it be that he secretly glanced at the window and Xiao Nian saw him, so he knew he wanted to open the window for some fresh air?
He nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Xiao Nian smiled slightly and then walked back.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Fuliu thought for a moment and then expressed her gratitude.
He's a young master, yet he opened a window for a mere servant; it's utterly unbelievable.
This young master is such a gentle person!
Su Fuliu sighed inwardly.
Xiao Nian and Feng Muting are two complete opposites.
One is incredibly irritable, the other incredibly gentle.
One is always giving the cold shoulder, while the other is always smiling.
"You're welcome." Xiao Nian smiled slightly.
Su Fuliu returned the smile.
Seeing their exchange of smiles, Xiao Luo interrupted, "Let's get down to business."
Su Fuliu withdrew her gaze and turned to Xiao Luo: "Please speak, Princess."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Xiao Nian's face, but it was quickly masked by her standard smile.
Xiao Luo said, "I like Your Highness, but I don't know how to win your favor. Plus, Your Highness has such an aloof personality, it's really hard for me to get close to you. So I thought I'd ask you for help. You don't need to do much, just help me mention me to Your Highness occasionally, say some nice things, and help me win Your Highness's favor. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Su Fuliu was slightly taken aback: "No, it's not difficult, it's just..."
"If it's not difficult, then I'll leave it all to you!" Xiao Luo interrupted Su Fuliu before she could finish speaking.
"No, I... I just mean, saying nice things isn't difficult, after all, all you have to do is open your mouth, but His Highness has always forbidden us servants from being talkative, because His Highness will be unhappy if he hears it."
Su Fuliu happened to remember this one.
All that memorizing all morning wasn't for nothing; it's come in handy now. One of the rules is—no gossiping.
"It should be fine to say it just once in a while, right? I'm not asking you to say it in front of him every day," Xiao Luo tried to persuade him.
Su Fuliu shook her head again: "No, not even a single word. It's not that I don't respect the princess, but I serve the prince. My life and fortune are in his hands. If I anger the prince, my life will definitely be difficult."
Xiao Luo was surprised that Su Fuliu would refuse, so she secretly cast a pleading look at Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian then said, "Since that's the case, then don't force him."
Xiao Luo was taken aback, then looked at Xiao Nian. Shouldn't her brother be speaking up for her?
Why are you helping Su Fuliu?
She glanced at Xiao Nian secretly and winked at him.
However, Xiao Nian did not react at all; his gaze remained fixed on Su Fuliu.
“Su Fuliu, I, the princess, have personally asked you for this favor, and you still won’t help me?” Xiao Luo asked.
Su Fuliu shook his head with difficulty: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I really can't. I have to think about myself too, don't I?"
Xiao Nian nodded: "You're right."
Xiao Luo glanced at Xiao Nian again, wondering whose side her brother was on.
Just as Xiao Luo was about to try to persuade him again, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Chapter 46 Don't Like Me
"I had no idea that you had become so close to my servants?" Feng Muting strode in.
Upon seeing this, Su Fuliu immediately stood up and walked towards him: "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Feng Muting glanced at him: "Did I come at the wrong time? Did I disturb your plans to find someone else?"
Su Fuliu choked, then shook her head: "No, actually it's..."
Before Su Fuliu could explain, Feng Muting interrupted, "I'll hear your explanation when we get back."
Su Fuliu choked again, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.
Feng Muting glanced at the table of delicious food and said, "Tianweilou's dishes taste good, but with my little servant's stomach, I'm afraid he'll get an upset stomach after eating them."
Su Fuliu, standing to the side, lowered her head and pouted.
He won't get an upset stomach; how could he get an upset stomach from eating such delicious food?
It's a pity that Feng Muting arrived too early; he hadn't even had a proper taste yet.
Xiao Nian stood up and said, "Is Su Fuliu's stomach not good? If it is, it needs to be taken care of, goji berries..."
"Isn't Prince Xiao being a bit too enthusiastic? He's even showing such concern for a mere servant of mine?" Feng Muting interrupted Xiao Nian before he could finish speaking.
Xiao Nian pursed her lips slightly: "If he weren't a servant by the prince's side, I wouldn't care so much."
Feng Muting smiled and said, "Is that so? Then should I thank Prince Xiao for his concern?"
"Your Highness is too kind."
At this moment, Xiao Luo quickly said with a smile, "Your Highness, you've come at the right time. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat with us?"
Feng Muting didn't even glance at her before turning around and saying, "No need, farewell."
After saying that, he walked out.
When he reached Su Fuliu's side, he stopped and glanced at Su Fuliu before continuing on his way.
Su Fuliu quickly bowed to Xiao Nian and Xiao Luo to say goodbye, and then hurriedly followed Feng Muting and left Tianwei Restaurant.
"Brother, the prince didn't even look at me just now. Does the prince dislike me that much?" Xiao Luo said sadly.
Xiao Nian kept staring at the doorway, unable to look away for a long time: "I told you, don't rush, take it slow. A man like Ting Wang can't be won over so easily. You have to be patient."
“Okay, but what happened just now, brother? Shouldn’t you have spoken up for me? Why did you side with Su Fuliu?” Xiao Luo asked innocently.
Xiao Nian smiled and said, "Isn't your brother trying to win you over? If you make him happy, he will naturally be willing to help you. If Prince Ting hadn't arrived so quickly, I would have already convinced Su Fuliu to help you."
"I see. So you were trying to help me, brother. I almost misunderstood you. I'm so sorry, thank you, brother," Xiao Luo said with a smile.
"It's okay. Just know that whatever your brother does is to help you," Xiao Nian said.
Xiao Luo nodded: "I knew my brother was the best!"
Xiao Nian laughed, a meaningful laugh.
After Feng Muting got into the carriage, Su Fuliu followed, but he consciously sat on the outside.
But Feng Muting said, "Come in!"
Su Fuliu paused for a moment, feeling somewhat guilty.
You could hear a hint of anger in Feng Muting's voice. If he went in like that, he would probably get a good scolding from Feng Muting again.
"Su Fuliu!" Feng Muting shouted again when he saw him after a long time.
Su Fuliu was startled, then steeled herself and went inside...
