Qiao Mu nodded, and then shook her head. “It’s not poison, only a kind of drug that expedites hair growth!”

“I am a good person.” The little fellow patted her chest. “We need to properly distinguish between whom we should show gratitude to and whom we should feel resentment for! Xu Xinran is the person who poisoned Senior Sister! We just need to poison her back. The other people are merely small fry, so we can just give them a small lesson in passing!”

Yu Gui twitched her mouth silently: In other words, Xu Xinran indeed still hit the jackpot?

“I couldn’t tell at all!” Fang Xu rubbed her petite hands gleefully. “To me, it looked like Xu Xinran’s symptoms were pretty much the same as everybody else’s.”

“It’ll show in around another hour.”

“Little Junior Sister, what kind of poison did you use on Xu Xinran?” Everybody was curious.

“As Xu Xinran had used flaming scarlet poison on Senior Sister previously, I just improved upon the poison and used it back on her.”

Got it, she had given her tit for tat!

After nodding in comprehension, they followed their little junior sister back to Anping Inn.

“We’re staying on the third floor.” Qiao Mu led everybody up the stairs.

When they reached the second floor, they just so happened to bump into two men who were walking side by side. The two men involuntarily sized up the seven young ladies.

Upon glancing at them, Qiao Mu discovered that the man on the left was the person who kept yielding to her courteously when they were drawing lots on the stage. She thus gave him an expressionless nod as a greeting.

That man smiled and nodded back to her. He then stepped aside to let the seven of them pass.

Afterwards, they heard the other man say behind them, “Senior Brother Li, are those ladies the ones who had a fall out with Godsend Academy and got expelled…”

“Mhm, don’t probe further.”

“Little Junior Sister, you even know Li Nanshen.”

“What Li Nanshen? Don’t know him!” Miss Qiao responded reflexively.

Yu Gui and the others looked at each other in dismay, and Fang Xu couldn’t resist giggling. “But you just?”

Miss Qiao naturally was unable to register her senior sisters’ words. Right now, her eyes were only on Young Sir Mo, who was standing in the candlelight at the door to her room. His uplifted phoenix eyes were looking at her with a smile.

So handsome!

Such a handsome man was Qiaoqiao’s!

Miss Qiao ran over to him happily, and the crown prince promptly grasped her soft and warm hands.

“Oh my, my little lady! I had told you to come back earlier. Look at the time right now!” The door opened from the inside, and a horde of people poured out.

“Qiaoqiao, I only ate two pastries in the afternoon and have been waiting for you ’til now! When are we eating?”

Sure enough, this group of foodies were waiting for her!

Qiao Mu couldn’t help but find it funny. She pushed up the corners of her mouth with two fingers. “Am I smiling?”

Everyone: …

“No!”

“Then are you guys ordering dishes today?”

“Wow, we really can order dishes today!”

“Me, me, me. I’m ordering! I want to eat chilled crystal ham!”

“Me, me, me, I’m ordering arhat prawns!”

“I especially want to eat smoked duck today.”

“It’d be even better if there was a jug of peach blossom wine.”

“Ha.” Qiao Mu walked past the group into the room while holding Crown Prince Mo’s hand. “I was just saying, yet you guys took it seriously again.”

“You!”

The little lady expressionlessly picked and chose through her food box with an occasional question. “Want lamb soup?”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.”
