C472 before wind and rain (1/2)

After Mu Rong Yue left, Jun Ruoran didn't make any movements, but seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he started chuckling. A voice that was extremely gentle echoed in his ears, ”Brother Jun Ru, it's good as long as you live up to your conscience. If one day you're truly unforgivable, then you must use the method you want to end everything.”

Someone once told him so.

Then... What was left for him was precisely that flame. She had experienced the most filthy thing in the world, had seen all the darkness in the world, and had finally chosen to end her life in such a bright way.

The Mu Rong Yue today was just like the Mu Ru Yue from before.

When she spoke, no one could refute her. They even wanted to go crazy with her.

However, in the end, reason was still the upper hand. He was the son of the Jun Family, and he had a reason not to go crazy. So, he had only to endure for two more days. As for what happened next? Jun Ruo's gaze was very calm.

When this slave system was completely exposed, it would also be the time when the people from the six families would be beaten by everyone, and they would even have to withdraw from Peony City. He … What could there be after that?

As night fell, the lanterns in Peony City were hung up high in the middle of the garden. Compared to the daytime, they felt even warmer. The prosperity here was completely inversely proportional to the darkness of the slave market.

Because she was worried that the Mayor's mansion would notice her if she went back too early, Mu Ru Yue didn't directly head back to the Mayor's mansion after leaving the restaurant. Instead, she casually strolled around the Peony Garden in the middle of the city.

There were many people walking around here every day. There were even some who stayed at home for a long time like her.

It was as if there was some kind of magic here that caused people to unconsciously forget about their worries and make them feel comfortable. They even wanted to stay here quietly and not do anything anymore. As the peonies flourished, the liveliness in the surroundings seemed to have been cut off from the rest of the world.

No wonder this Peony Garden was so popular. It even became a symbol of Peony City.

Mu Ru Yue sighed in her heart as she sat down on the edge of the flower bed. She closed her eyes to feel the cool breeze and the faint fragrance of peony petals. It was very satisfying.

The City Lord's Mansion was also brightly lit.

The number of guards in the Mayor's Mansion had doubled. They were patrolling the area as if they were worried that a thief would enter.

”Your Highness, isn't this Peony City's lord a bit too excessive? He's simply looking after you like a criminal. Could it be that he wants to rebel?” In a quiet courtyard, Tao Er's voice suddenly sounded.

She looked at the white-clothed man sitting beside her, unable to suppress the rage in her heart. In these two days in the City Lord's Mansion, everything she did was restricted. Even the actions of the crown prince were monitored.

This kind of situation would never happen in the capital. How could they not be angry?

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he still couldn't show it on his face. This was because once he showed it, it would be discovered by the City Lord's Mansion.

”What are they thinking about? I'm not interested.” Feng Qing's attitude was still very calm. He sat there under the moonlight, dressed in white clothes, looking like an immortal that had descended from the heavens. His pair of cold phoenix eyes would cause people to feel fear when they looked at him.

Her exquisite facial features and her aloof demeanor made people feel that she was cut off from the rest of the world.

Tao Er looked at Feng Qing and listened to his highness' words that seemed to make no difference to the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could His Royal Highness get involved in these disputes? Speaking of which, everything was caused by that Murong Yue. It would be great if she died.

In her heart, Tao Er desperately wished for Mu Ru Yue to die a little earlier.

But on the surface, they could only helplessly persuade their own Highness, ”Your Highness, if you don't mind, they will look down on you. You are Tian Xiang, how can you let these people watch over you? ”
