C475 How does an ancient tree blossom (2/2)
”I have seen what I want to see the most. Thank you for that.” Hearing this, Mu Ru Yue was a little suspicious, but she still nodded her head. Following Feng Qing's appearance, she bowed and said, ”Your Highness still needs to thank this tree. I have seen what Your Highness has seen so I naturally can't be rude.”
When Mu Ru Yue said that, she smiled brilliantly. The man looked at Mu Ru Yue with confusion in his eyes. He stretched out his hand with the intention of slapping her, but then retracted it and said, ”It's getting late, let's go back.”
Mu Ru Yue nodded, but didn't mention that she was going to auction the slaves today.
When Murong Yue returned to the courtyard, the sky had already darkened. Yun'er was anxiously waiting for Mu Ru Yue at the entrance, and when she saw Mu Ru Yue coming back, she was so moved that she almost cried. ”I'm so worried about this slave.”
”Shh.” When Yun'er saw this, her stomach was filled with anger. However, it wasn't good to continue asking so she could only helplessly say, ”Quickly go back. This servant will help you wash up and eat.”
”Alright.” Mu Ru Yue chuckled as she looked at Feng Qing and said, ”Being able to meet His Highness by chance is indeed a great joy. But could Your Highness please help me pass on a message to Bai Yu. I will definitely settle this debt with him someday.” After saying that, Mu Ru Yue left with Yun'er.
After returning to her own peony garden, Yun'er could not help but ask, ”Princess, what's wrong with you? Earlier, you told me to return to the City Lord's Mansion by myself, but I've waited for a long time and haven't seen any of your people, so I was worried to death.
You were saying that Young Master Bai Yu was the one who caused you to be unable to come back? ”
Yun'er guessed.
Mu Ru Yue shook her head with a smile. ”That's not it. It's just that …” I seem to have been set up by that fellow. I found someone to bring me to the Ancient Tree District, but it was a fortuitous encounter with His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know what the hell he's doing, but I can confirm one thing, that fellow did not have good intentions! ”
”No matter what, it's good that you're fine, Princess.” Yun'er helped Mu Ru Yue strip off her clothes and changed into a light set of clothes so that she could sleep. Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
This knock on the door made Mu Ru Yue and Yun'er look at each other in dismay. In the end, Yun'er went over and asked, ”Who is it? Our princess consort is about to fall asleep. ”
”This servant knows her wrongs, but …” The mayor would like to invite you to a chat, and would like to ask the wangfei to honor him with her presence. ” Ling'er's respectful voice sounded out from outside the door. If it wasn't for the fact that she had just seen this person's cold expression not long ago, it would have been hard to imagine.
However, the mayor invited him?
Mu Ru Yue pondered for a moment before smiling. ”Yun'er, help me change my clothes. Since the mayor has feelings for me, how can I let you see me without doing anything? No matter what, we are still living in the City Lord's Mansion, and are receiving so much care from the City Lord. ”
Princess, are you this kind of person?
Yun'er silently retorted in her heart, but she respectfully helped Mu Ru Yue put on her clothes again. Pushing the door open, the first thing he saw was Ling'er standing at the entrance with a set of rules. It had to be said that this woman called Ling'er was indeed an interesting girl.
Although he held the authority of the city governor's mansion, he was neither humble nor haughty. This calmness belonged to the mama at the side of the empress dowager. He wouldn't be able to catch up to her even if he died. Thinking like this, Mu Ru Yue said to Ling'er, ”Let's go.”
”Yes.” Ling'er said respectfully. At the same time, she was quietly sizing up Seventh Princess. It had only been a few days since Princess Qi arrived at Peony City, but she had already given the Mayor a headache.
The matter of the slaves had almost caused their plans to be completely exposed. He really was an incredible figure.
It was a pity that such a person didn't know how to hide himself. With such a personality, he wouldn't suffer a loss and would let her down. Ling'er thought to herself as she put on a docile expression. She looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Princess, the mayor is waiting for you in the flower garden.”
”Oh? Could I know why the Mayor is waiting for me in the dead of night? ” Mu Ru Yue raised her brows as she looked at Ling'er.
