C28 Eyebrows (2/2)

”It doesn't matter, what I want the most is not the Glass Bead.” The smile in Mu Ru Yue's eyes intensified. The original owner's only chance encounter with the Mu Rong family was when he saw something else.

That old fogey would never take out the glass bead, but he also wouldn't give the Seventh Prince a chance to add to his troubles at this critical time. Therefore, his only choice was something else.

It was another item left behind by the mother of the original owner. It was the dowry she had brought with her when she married Prime Minister Zuo. The reason why she knew about it was because Madam Mu Rong had flaunted her dowry and ridiculed her mother for not leaving anything behind.

But unfortunately … No one in the Mu Rong family knew about it.

That was a true treasure, a very rare medicinal plant. It was said that if used well, it could make a person immune to poisons. Compared to the so-called purple glass bead, it was countless times better! If she asked for it directly, based on that old immortal personality, it was hard to say what she would suspect, but it would instead be unbefitting of her.

Furthermore, if he really gave her the glass bead, she would have a way to exchange it for what she truly wanted. This would be safer.

The more she thought about it, the more perfect her plan became. A trace of a smile appeared on Mu Ru Yue's face. This smile was truly sincere. Even her face was tinged with a little bit of that smile.

Feng Chen looked at Mu Ru Yue with happiness in her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking, but … She looked very interesting in this way.

But at this time, he heard a coughing sound coming from outside the door. It interrupted Mu Ru Yue's reverie, causing Feng Chen's expression to darken.

”Who?” Feng Zhi asked in dissatisfaction.

The coughing sound outside the door became louder, and the intermittent sounds could be heard, ”I can't believe that the Seventh Prince agreed to the words, 'To respect one's sex, and to overlook one's friends', even when I am not his friend.” With that, he walked in.

Mu Ru Yue asked as well. It was a scholar in green robes. His face was slightly pale and he looked extremely ill. No matter how you looked at it, he was a short-lived ghost.
