C177 Betting (2/2)
However, what Mu Ru Yue's housekeeper didn't know was that the reason why Nalan Ruoxue wanted some land in the Western Region was because she was mocked for her previous incompetent actions. She had made a bet with someone that she would get one.
This was how Nalan Ruoxue's recent madness came about.
If Mu Ru Yue were to know about this, she would definitely laugh.
When Nalan Ruoxue heard this, she seemed to be attracted by this piece of land. After a long while, she said: ”Alright, it's a deal. If you really can win against me, then what's the harm in Yulan giving it to you?” With that, Nalan Ruoxue turned around and entered the palanquin. She then ordered the servants to leave.
Mu Ru Yue even felt that it was unreal.
He had just heard about this Jade Orchid a few days ago, and now it had found its way so quickly? That flower was called Yulan, a variant of Yulan.
After Nalan Ruoxue left, the butler immediately ordered people to disperse the crowd. He then said to Mu Ru Yue, ”Princess, if you want Yulan, I'm afraid only the Nalan family would have Yulan.”
”Oh?” Mu Ru Yue was slightly surprised.
”magnolia orchids are a type of white magnolia orchids. It can be said that there is no family that has more white magnolia orchids than his family. If his family doesn't have a white magnolia orchid, then it would be really gone.” But what does the wangfei want with those flowers? ”
The butler was puzzled.
After all, besides beauty and fragrance, magnolia orchids had no other uses.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she smiled mysteriously and turned around to enter the courtyard without saying a word. The butler, who was left outside, was stunned. So, had he been tricked by Princess Hua-Yang?
After receiving the news, Mu Ru Yue's mood was elated. However, when she returned to the courtyard, she was lectured by Xing'er, ”Oh my god! Miss, how can you start a conflict with the Nalan clan? ”If the Nalan Clan holds a grudge, does that mean that young mistress will not be able to stay in the Laiyue Empire?”
Xing'er was already on the verge of collapse due to Mu Ru Yue's ability to stir up trouble. Her young mistress had never been obedient for even a moment.
Mu Ru Yue's expression remained calm as she replied lazily, ”Alright, I didn't take the initiative to look for trouble. It was really Nalan Ruoxue that came looking for me.”
”But Miss …” Xing'er was still a little worried.
”Xing'er, if I'm weak today, the entire Seventh Marquis Mansion will be laughing at me. Those who try to screw me over will also become even more powerful. Humans were like this. The more benevolent and bullying you were, the more you would be entangled by others. Only by baring their fangs would others be able to calm down.
Were those people really just looking down on me in their hearts? There are probably deeper questions that I don't know about. Just like Nalan Ruoxue, she did it for her own greed. But can I give up the benefits that are given to me for the sake of the greed of others? If one is afraid of the east and the west, in the end, one can only submit and stand still. ”
Mu Ru Yue's attitude was extremely serious as she looked at Xing'er. Everything about Xing`er was good. The only bad thing about her was that she was too afraid of things. He always wanted to be safe. However, he had forgotten that after marrying the prince and becoming his consort, he had distanced himself from peace and stability from the very beginning.
She was at the Seventh Marquis Mansion, and she had broken up with the Mu Rong family. Under such circumstances, if she didn't put up a tough front, she would die a violent death sooner or later.
Mu Ru Yue's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing Xing'er into a daze. All of these things are things that Xing'er has always been unwilling to face. She had always wanted Mu Ru Yue to stabilize herself in the Seventh Prince's manor.
Because he felt that if he stood still and had a child, perhaps everything would be fine. However, he had forgotten that people wouldn't let her off just because of this.
Thinking of this, Xing'er kneeled in front of Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Miss, your servant has thought too little. And angry at you for all this. ”
Mu Ru Yue looked at Xing'er and smiled. She rubbed her head and said, ”You are the most sincere one. Get up. You must remember that I won't push myself into a pit of fire. Everything I do is just for the sake of being able to live better.”
