Chapter 203: Sowing Discord
Sun Jiayi wasn't stupid; she understood Luo Lan's meaning perfectly well.
But she was still somewhat hesitant!
Can she really secretly cooperate with Luo Lan? If Princess Lin'an finds out, neither of them will have a good ending.
But Luo Lan was direct.
“That’s your contract with the princess, not with me. I’m here to cooperate with you.” Her expression remained unchanged, but her voice was subtly sharp.
Seeing this, Sun Jiayi was also stunned for a moment, and then put down the cup in her hand.
“I don’t understand what Miss Luo means.” Sun Jiayi pretended not to understand.
"The princess is just using you, but I know you're using the princess too, so why don't you join forces with the people around her?"
Everyone knows that Princess Lin'an is no pushover, including Sun Jiayi.
She took a deep breath and had to admit that Luo Lan's words struck a chord with her.
From the very beginning, Princess Lin'an did not trust Sun Jiayi.
It's not so much that she didn't trust him, but rather that she was being taken advantage of, Sun Jiayi understood.
Seeing Luo Lan's determination, she smiled calmly and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you!"
Sun Jiayi immediately agreed, her eyes full of smiles.
It must be admitted that Luo Lan is really smart, but only when it comes to Lin Rusi.
She was just being impulsive, Sun Jiayi added, "However, cooperation is fine, but there are some things you have to listen to me on. I can't let your impulsiveness ruin my plans!"
Sun Jiayi spoke earnestly, and the person on the other end was taken aback for a moment. Luo Lan nodded: "I agreed to your request, which means I'll listen to you, right?"
"Okay, in that case, I actually have a plan too..."
After some discussion, Sun Jiayi realized that Luo Lan was definitely the most suitable teammate, especially when it came to making knives.
Thinking of this, Sun Jiayi was even more satisfied.
It's just a pity that she's different from Li Chun; she's the princess's lackey, and she certainly won't listen to me easily.
"I really want to know, you could be yourself, so why are you willing to be a tail following behind Princess Lin'an?"
Sun Jiayi stared straight at Luo Lan, who met her eyes.
This question made her expression slightly worse. Nobody likes being told something like this to their face, especially in their situation.
“You understand, Miss.” After saying that, Luo Lan continued, “But then again, isn’t Miss Sun also a princess?”
Luo Lan chuckled. Seeing this, Sun Jiayi also looked over, and their eyes met.
Luo Lan knew that Sun Jiayi understood what she meant.
She was the one who extended an olive branch to Sun Jiayi first, and Sun Jiayi had no reason to refuse.
"Miss Sun, I would also like to befriend you, but I don't know if you would be willing?"
Luo Lan asked with a smile, her eyes full of implication.
Seeing this, Sun Jiayi nodded: "Of course, we are complete allies now, aren't we?"
Sun Jiayi asked a question in return, and the two of them remained silent after explaining.
Just then, the steward bowed and entered: "Miss, Princess Lin'an has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiayi's eyes lit up instantly.
"Then why don't you quickly invite the princess in?" Sun Jiayi immediately said, but Luo Lan, who was standing below, suddenly changed her expression.
"Miss Sun, I think I should leave now. If the princess sees me here..."
Luo Lan instinctively wanted to leave, but was stopped by Princess Lin'an.
He glanced at her intently, then smiled and said, "Don't go. What's wrong with meeting? Princess Lin'an is here, so let's have a good chat together."
"Why?" Luo Lan asked in surprise and confusion, and wanted to refuse, but before she could finish her refusal, she was already in a daze.
Luo Lan was interrupted by this person and was slightly taken aback when she saw the emotion in Sun Jiayi's eyes.
Clearly, Sun Jiayi did it on purpose.
She just wanted to see her determination, and seeing this, Sun Jiayi immediately said again.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"
Luo Lan gritted her teeth and smiled slightly.
"How could that be? Of course I'll listen to Miss Sun." Luo Lan turned her back, and where no one could see, her eyes darkened.
……
On the other side, Princess Lin'an strode in.
“Jiayi…” Princess Lin’an had a smile on her face, but as soon as she entered the room, her gaze fell on Luo Lan to the side.
"Luo Lan! What are you doing here?!" Princess Lin'an's voice suddenly became sharp, her face showing some displeasure.
What's with this woman who's more capable of getting things done than causing trouble?!
"Princess, I..." However, before Luo Lan could explain, Princess Lin'an had already made her own plans.
"What exactly do you mean?! You ruined my plans, and now you want to drag Jiayi down with you?!" Princess Lin'an questioned.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lan quickly waved his hand.
But Princess Lin'an gave him no chance at all. On the other side, Sun Jiayi slowly walked over.
She spoke softly and gently, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. Miss Luo did something wrong and is afraid to face you, so she came to me for help. We were just thinking about how to deal with Lin Rusi."
Sun Jiayi gently pulled Princess Lin'an over, preventing her from questioning Luo Lan any further.
Luo Lan noticed it too, staring intently at them with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
She stood to the side without saying a word, her head lowered, her eyes showing a hint of guilt.
Seeing this, Princess Lin'an snorted coldly. Although she was still unhappy, she didn't say anything.
"Very well, since that's the case, this princess will not hold it against you."
Princess Lin'an waved her hand, and out of his sight, Sun Jiayi winked at Luo Lan.
However, Princess Lin'an stopped making things difficult for Luo Lan.
Princess Lin'an's expression remained extremely unpleasant: "Don't pay any attention to this girl. She's incredibly stupid. She can't even handle such a small matter. How could Lin Rusi not have any maids around her? She should have investigated this thoroughly!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiayi's eyes lit up.
Subconsciously observing Luo Lan's expression, sure enough, Luo Lan's face turned extremely ugly.
This woman is definitely not as simple as she seems!
Sun Jiayi smiled and explained gently, "Actually, I think she probably just forgot. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
"What? She's always been like this, more trouble than she's worth."
Princess Lin'an didn't take it to heart, but she already harbored a thorn in her side towards Luo Lan, and now she felt even more uncomfortable.
Clearly, Luo Lan's expression was not good either, but she still managed to force a smile when facing them.
Seeing this, Sun Jiayi became even more excited.
"Oh dear, sister, don't be angry. I think Luo Lan did all this for the princess. If it were discovered that she was the one who did it, Miss Luo herself wouldn't feel good either."
Sun Jiayi's gentle and considerate words instantly touched Luo Lan.
Yes, after all the effort I put in, all I got in return was the dislike of Princess Lin'an.
Why should I do that?
