C421 The Shadow under the City of Peony (2/2)

”This place is the streets where outsiders live. There are also people guarding the outer parts of these streets, but they are a bit fewer than the rest. ” The one who spoke was Feng Qing.

Along the way, Feng Qing gave Mu Ru Yue Ke a lot of information about Peony City. Mu Ru Yue's curiosity towards Peony City increased. The Peony City took up a large area of land, but the owners of this place could use twelve streets to manage it. Furthermore, it was in a neat and orderly manner. There were no signs of unrest here. Even the slave market would not affect the entire Peony City.

This kind of management ability made Mu Ru Yue more and more anxious. After all, the Qing Xun that day … This was the kind of person he was. He was good at management, so she left everything to Qing Xun.

This person made use of her ability to continuously climb up the ranks of the organizations. In the end, he gave her a grand excuse to break up and even tried to kill her. When Mu Ru Yue thought about this, the fury in her heart couldn't be quelled.

As a member of the organisation, she hated to believe in others. However, that person was the only one she trusted the most, including … Her pitiful little love, in the end, did not leave anything behind. This person trampled over everything in her life.

If one were to say that the person whom this world hated the most, it would be none other than him …

As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue took a deep breath and asked, ”Have you already decided what to do?”

”Right now, the most important thing is to find a place to stay. In two days, Peony City will welcome a grand event, and at that time, the city will definitely be even more tense. If we hurry over at that time, we can only go to the Mayor's mansion.”

Feng Qing said softly. Similarly, this also explained why this person wanted to come early. Murong Yue understood. Under Feng Qing's lead, the few of them soon arrived in front of a dilapidated restaurant.

In the last few streets, there were many inns and restaurants, and there were all kinds of them. However, this type of dilapidated and crumbling street was extremely rare. Even Tao Er saw it, and her expression changed. She carefully looked at her prince and said: ”Your Highness, our this …”

”I am old with the master here.” The moment she said that, she had already pushed open the shabby door of the restaurant. The moment she opened the door, Mu Ru Yue heard a creaking sound. Looking at the door that was shaking, Mu Ru Yue was deeply suspicious.

However, since Feng Qing had already decided on this, if others wanted to change it, it would be difficult. Especially in Peony City. They did not know Feng Qing's plan, so they did not say much about it.

Peach had always been Feng Qing's personal palace maid. Even if Feng Qing wanted her to die, she couldn't say anything. As for Yun'er, she had always listened to Mu Ru Yue's words and obediently stood by her side.

At this moment, Yun'er was still thinking about the incident with Hong Sanniang. He was on high alert.

No matter what, she definitely wouldn't allow something like Hong Sanniang to happen in front of her eyes. After all, he couldn't let down the trust his wife held in him. Thinking this, Yun'er leaned towards Mu Ru Yue.

After waiting for the door to stop shaking, Feng Qing lifted his leg and entered the restaurant. Mu Ru Yue carefully looked at the appearance of the restaurant. It was covered in dust and there were many spiderwebs hanging on it. It was a proof that this place was deserted.

As she thought about this, Mu Ru Yue followed him in.

After entering the restaurant, what entered his sight was the rows of tables and chairs. These tables and chairs were arranged neatly, but there was a layer of dust on top of them. The bar was also dilapidated. Even the south side of the city was much better than this place.

But because of this, it became rather interesting. In such a prosperous place like Peony City, in such a bustling street, no one had any ideas about such a shabby restaurant. This was quite strange.

Mu Ru Yue could be considered a merchant now. In the Southern District of the capital, those people didn't care about their lives for just a piece of land. Let's not talk about this anymore. If one were to talk about the economy of Peony City, it was likely that it would be even better than the Royal Capital.

Just when Mu Ru Yue was curious about what was going on, she heard a coughing sound come from upstairs. Everyone's gaze also landed on him. Soon, they saw a man wearing a green robe slowly walking over.

This person's face was pale, and he had the bearing of a scholar. A pair of long and thin eyes, clean and without a trace of evil. It looked like a clear spring, causing one to be unable to muster up even the slightest bit of anger.

His long hair was tied up in a wooden hairpin and he carried a book in his hands.

It seemed to be a medical book. How could such a person be the master of this place?
