Stick With The Cold Female lead

Chapter 45- Bad Karma

The idea of winning over the Ninth Princess had taken root in Su Tianci's mind for a long time, almost becoming an obsession that controlled his innermost thoughts.

Rubbing the medicine hidden in his sleeve, Su Tianci took advantage of the moment when everyone was chatting and laughing, not paying attention to him. He sneaked to a corner of the pavilion and called his servant, handing him the medicine.

"Go, when the tea is served later, find an opportunity to put this into the Ninth Princess's cup."

Su Tianci often visited the First Prince's mansion. The maids and servants there were already familiar with him and his servant, so it wasn't difficult to administer the drug.

The servant was a bit scared. He didn't know what kind of medicine his master wanted him to use, and it was for a princess. If they were discovered, his life would be in grave danger. But the master's orders couldn't be disobeyed, so he reluctantly agreed.

Seeing his cowardice, Su Tianci was very frustrated, knocking him on the head.

"Idiot! How could I dare to harm a princess? This is not a harmful drug. Just do as I say, and once it's over, the Ninth Princess won't blame you. She might even reward you."

With his master's assurance, the servant's confidence grew a little, and seeing that no one was watching, he discreetly slipped out.

Su Tianci watched the servant's departing figure with satisfaction and returned to the banquet.

Su Yi was led to the resting area of the Prince's mansion, allowed to rest for a while before being asked to help out. She was tasked with serving tea and snacks to the gentlemen and ladies attending the banquet, she could sell her own things to them. This was supposedly a favor granted by the First Prince.

Su Yi, "..."

Damn it, did she pay to get in just be a maid?

Su Yi realized the cunning ways of the prince; there were so many tricks to cheat people, and now she understood what the "servant" in "servant merchant" meant.

After the servant finished explaining the rules, he glanced at the low-status merchants and artisans wearing animal masks, standing arrogantly, and said, "Do you all remember the rules I just told you?"

Su Yi, unhappy, responded, "I'm not good at remembering things."

"Tsk." The servant gave her a disdainful look. "No wonder you're a pig, you don't even have a brain."

Furious, Su Yi wanted to retort, but the elder sister wearing a cow mask beside her quickly stopped her, "Oh, dear, is it your first time here? This is the steward's nephew. We can't offend him; otherwise, we won't make money in the future. It's the prince's favor. You mustn't miss this opportunity. Hurry, apologize to Steward Huang."

The young masters and ladies were generous in their spending; a single transaction could sustain them for two to three, even five to six years. Everyone had to make a living, so the Prince's mansion's reward events attracted merchants and artisans like bees to honey.

Su Yi calmed down, she realized she didn't come here to make trouble. Being a maid was a good opportunity to get close to the princesses.

She listened to the older sister's advice and apologized to the servant. "It's my first time here, I don't know the rules. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, she took out some silver and handed it to the servant, "Please forgive me, sir"

Seeing the silver, the servant's attitude softened, waving his hand, "Forget about it. What's your name?"
