Yun'er's words caused Murong Yue to be stunned. She began to recall the changes that had occurred in Xing'er during that period of time. It was as if … It was exactly as Yun'er had said. She believed that everyone was equal, so she didn't criticize Xing'er too harshly.

Perhaps it was because she didn't criticize Meng Hao harshly that Xing`er began to look forward to him a bit more. Finally, in terms of some details, you make Xing'er jealous, right?

Humans were indeed the most difficult creatures to understand. Even though he himself was also a human, he was still unable to understand what others were thinking.

It was just like how she could not understand why Qing Xun would do such a thing and say such a thing.

Mu Ru Yue closed her eyes slightly. With a trace of fatigue in her voice, she replied, ”I understand. Yun'er, I want to give you a mission.”

”Please speak.” Yun Er was extremely respectful. Only after seeing Mu Ru Yue's cold attitude did she heave a sigh of relief. The connivance that the wangfei had shown her these past few days made her feel as if she had gained another sister.

She couldn't help but look forward to the day when she would also be treated as an equal by the wangfei, becoming sisters with the wangfei. This kind of thought was the most outrageous. Mu Ru Yue's current attitude made her feel especially at ease.

She owed the wangfei in the first place, and it was the wangfei who accepted her when she was about to be disposed of. How could she not follow her master?

”I want a portrait of the city lord.” Mu Ru Yue asked.

Yun'er:...

”Princess, are you serious?” Yun'er suddenly felt ill. When she thought about how her own princess had often been in contact with other men, she was afraid that she might be put to death by the king.

”I want a portrait of the City Lord of Peony City, Qing Xun.” Mu Ru Yue looked at Yun'er and said that word by word.

Mu Ru Yue's attitude was terrifyingly serious, so Yun'er couldn't be disrespectful to her. She could only bite the bullet and nod. ”Yes, this servant understands. This servant will do his best to get it for you.”

After receiving Yun Er's promise, Mu Ru Yue smiled and replied, ”Since that's the case, I will believe your words. Alright, it's getting late. I need to rest.” As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she shrunk back into the bed.

He couldn't help but exhale heavily.

Yun'er sighed in resignation as she looked at her own princess consort. ”This servant will stand guard for you.” With that, Yun'er headed for the door.

It was already late at night, yet the entire Peony City was still abnormally lively. This was due to the upcoming grand gathering in the Peony City, and also because the slave market was only getting more lively at night.

Mu Ru Yue came during the day so she would be welcomed by people. If she went there at night, she would be ignored because only at night did the people from the slave market come out.

In the tea room of the simple wooden house, Jun Ruo's expression was ice-cold. Beside him was a jade pendant engraved with the word 'Monarch'. Surrounding him was the shape of a peony.

A middle-aged man stood by his side with a flattering smile on his face. He looked at Jun Ruo and said, ”Young master, the Matriarch has invited you to her home. You should know that the Old Master and the Matriarch have been very worried about you since you were away for the past few days.

[Your sister, Miss Li, is also very worried about you. The grand meeting is coming soon, and it will be a step further for the Jun Family. As long as you …] ”Since you're willing to help us make the connection, I believe that our Jun Family will soon be able to become the number one family.”

When this middle-aged man spoke, he was excited. Especially when he mentioned the number one family, his eyes showed a hint of yearning.

Jun Ruo couldn't help but sneer, ”You're right. You're right. You should borrow me to get to know that esteemed person, and then raise your status? Have you ever thought about what would happen if people found out?

The City Lord's Mansion will not let you off, and so will the other five generations. ”

”This is a big gamble, the Jun Family has been waiting for so long, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity, I'm afraid we will never have another chance to improve. ”The Matriarch said that opportunities and danger coexist at the same time. I hope that Young Master can come back and lend us a hand.”

The middle-aged man said respectfully.

However, when she looked at these people, she suddenly smiled and said to the middle-aged man as if she had suddenly thought of something, ”That's fine. But before that, I want you all to take out something to prove your sincerity.”
