Hui Zi looked over at Bai Ruozhu with a smug glance, her little eyes full of disdain, as if she was so remarkable herself.
Bai Ruozhu secretly scoffed. Why bother with such a brainless plan?
She gave Fo Lanying a look, signaling Fo Lanying to prepare for action, but unexpectedly Hui Zi stood up and told her companions she needed to use the restroom. Some young ladies offered to join her, but she smiled and said, "I'll be right back. You all stay here and listen to the questions for me. Don't miss anything."
She also secretly glanced over at Bai Ruozhu, hinting to her companions to keep an eye on Bai Ruozhu, making sure she didn't pull any tricks.
Fo Lanying also silently slipped out of the crowd, quietly following Hui Zi.
Not long after, the second round of the competition started. Fangzi was a bit nervous since she was not good at writing poetry, so she decided not to participate.
"Miss Fangzi." A little maid squeezed through, head lowered, looking somewhat timid.
