These words seemed to be helping Murong Yue establish her might. But in fact, it was just giving them a final ultimatum. I hope they wake up.
Everyone looked at each other.
They just didn't want to be at a disadvantage.
When Mu Ru Yue saw this, she couldn't help but smile. ”Don't tell me you all think that you will have a place to stand once this place becomes an outsider's place? Now they are buying here, so the price is very high. However, the moment you leave this place, your status will still be as a person from the refugee zone. You have cheated the merchants' money, will they give you something good to eat? You will pay back the silver coins that you have earned! ”
Mu Ru Yue's tone was ice-cold, but she didn't actually try to scare these people. If something abnormal happened, there must be a demon. Those merchants were so generous because they wanted to snatch a place. However, what about when they turned back?
When these people were of no use, and when His Majesty didn't forgive these people, he'd always be here. Where in the world would they find a place to stand? She only accepted these people because she had already promised them.
Moreover, he didn't want these people to be tricked to death.
After all, she had been deeply impressed by the first sight that day when she had come to the refugee area.
Mu Ru Yue's words were like a wake-up call that stunned everyone.
Ling Xi looked gratefully at Murong Yue. She had said those words before, but these people didn't believe her words. Even if they didn't believe her, they would at least suspect them a little.
She'd thought that the princess would just kick them out, but now she'd given everyone a chance to make a choice.
”Who knows if you're lying to us?” The teenager opened his mouth again.
Mu Ru Yue swept a gaze at the youth and sniggered. ”At the very least, I should be more trustworthy than someone in a commoner district who wears expensive shoes, right? After all, I can chase you away, but I can leave you behind. You guys have been well protected by Ling Xi, and you still think it's laughable that you suffered a loss? ”
The mockery in Mu Ru Yue's words was obvious. Everyone looked at each other. In the end, they all fell silent.
Seeing this, Ling Xi hurriedly said, ”Everyone, don't think that the wangfei is losing out to you. In fact, the silver that she has given us isn't much different from those people. Even the Princess is willing to protect us. ”In a few days, when we sell the things that the princess has sent us, we will definitely be able to live a good life.”
”Why should we believe you?” the yellow-faced burly man asked.
However, Ling Xi wasn't angry, and her expression was gentle as she replied, ”Because we are all the same. Ling Xi has lived here since she was young. All these years, you should know better what kind of person Ling Xi is, right? ”
At this moment, most of the crowd's thoughts had turned dark. Seeing Ling Xi's current state, she naturally no longer had the overbearing attitude from before. In just a short while, these people had all dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Murong Yue, she said apologetically, ”Royal Concubine, this matter was done by Ling Xi. However, you must believe in Ling Xi. Before long, everyone will understand your hard work and benevolence. ”
”I'm not interested in their understanding. You protected them because you begged them, and because of those deeds. ” Mu Ru Yue said calmly. The gratitude of these people? Since it wasn't appropriate for her to eat, she really didn't need it.
”Royal Consort, there will be a day when Ling Xi believes that you definitely won't regret it.” Ling Xi promised.
