Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1258 - 1257: Damn, What a Dilemma

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: Damn, What a Dilemma

Chu Qianli suddenly spoke up to prevent Lan Fan from entering, leaving everyone puzzled.

However, the Prince sneered, "Miss Chu does not want Mr. Lan to come in at this time. Are you afraid Mr. Lan will discern the truth from the false?"

"Your Highness, the Prince, is too concerned. I just remembered that there are rules in Lingjiu Hall that one cannot wear unclean clothes."

With a wave of her hand, Chu Qianli signaled, and Little Shunzi immediately brought the clothing over.

Previously unaware of the reason behind preparing this outfit, Little Shunzi finally understood.

Miss Chu is simply the smartest woman he has ever met!

"Little Shunzi, order someone to set up a bathing screen in front of the hall for Mr. Lan to bathe and change," she instructed.

"Miss Chu!" The Prince grew angry, "It was with great difficulty that I arranged for Mr. Lan to come here today. If you show disrespect to Mr. Lan, I, the Prince..."

"Your Highness is again too concerned!"

Chu Qianli still smiled lightly, the smile at the corner of her lips inexplicably beautiful.

"A respected person from the Lan Family, holy and peerless, yet today the Prince did not provide Mr. Lan with a carpet, thus sullying Mr. Lan’s feet."

"Although Mr. Lan is just a Ghost Temple Master, the Prince should know that, in Lingjiu Hall, such a position is second only to the State Preceptor, superior to thousands, and indeed also of unparalleled honor."

For a moment, the Prince was left speechless.

Chu Qianli then said, "Since the Prince has forgotten the proper etiquette, I will have to take it upon myself to serve."

Little Shunzi was already holding the clothes as someone set up the bathing curtain.

Though Lan Fan was outside, he could hear the conversation inside the hall clearly with his abilities.

The fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, wishing he could tear that speaking girl inside to pieces.

How dare she bestow on him the title of Ghost Temple Master? What authority does she have?

He came here to become the State Preceptor!

Moreover, what is this ridiculous position of Ghost Temple Master? He had never heard of it before—it was clearly just something concocted to fool him!

Lan Fan had long wanted to leave.

But today, if he did not enter, he could not expose the fake Princess’s true face.

He did not believe that the person they had been searching for so long and could not find would suddenly appear.

It must be a trick of the Emperor!

He had to go inside personally to expose it.

But if he went in...

"Mr. Lan, the bathing screen is ready. May I, a lowly servant, attend to you while you bathe and change?" asked Little Shunzi with a smile.

The Prince, with veins throbbing at his temple from anger, exclaimed, "Little Shunzi! How dare you touch the noble body of a master?"

Immediately, Little Shunzi’s expression darkened, and he was not pleased.

"Does the Prince mean to suggest that Mr. Lan is even more honorable than the Emperor? When the Emperor bathes, it is also servants who attend to him!"

"You..." The Prince was left speechless.

Damn this servant!

Damn these people!

Putting on this outfit means acknowledging, in front of all the officials, the Emperor’s conferment and accepting the role of Ghost Temple Master!

But if he doesn’t put it on, he cannot go inside today to unveil the woman’s false face!

Lan Fan looked at the Prince, who was furrowing his brows in hesitation.

Should he accept the Emperor’s conferment and become a Temple Master for now, or stick with the original plan?

But now with the appearance of a fake Princess, the original plan might not work.

If she isn’t exposed, she could go to Baijing Village in the Emperor’s place, and the opportunity to preside over the ceremony would pass the Prince by!

Truly, a damned dilemma!

"Fine, I shall bathe and change clothes to meet with this Princess," Lan Fan finally said, holding his breath and stepping into the bathing curtain.

Little Shunzi immediately beamed with joy and respectfully said, "Allow your humble servant to attend to the Ghost Temple Master as he bathes and changes!"
