"I just remembered a legend ..." King Yue said softly.
"What legend?"
"On the prairie in western Guangdong, Snow Fox absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, seizing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, transforming into a human ..."
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle. She turned her head slightly and blinked her spirited eyes. Suddenly, a charming light seemed to shine within."Does Your Highness think that I'm the Snow Fox Spirit?"
Yue Yang could not help but throat move, his heart burning with passion: "Are you?"
"I've heard that all mature foxes must be devoured by their own hearts. Is Lord Four not worried about his own?" As she said that, Mu Yunyao intentionally glanced at King Yue's chest, then stuck out her tongue to lick her pink lips as if she was drooling over it.
Yue Wang clenched his fingers tightly, his eyes became increasingly focused: "I'm not worried."
Mu Yunyao smiled."I'm not really a fox, so there's no need for Fourth Master to worry."
"Even if you are, I am not worried." Master Four sure knows how to joke around." When she was rolling up the silver needles, she accidentally touched a book that was placed beside her. When the book fell to the ground, a piece of paper fell out of the book. Mu Yunyao bent over to pick it up and saw it immediately.
He recorded the information about himself and Su Qing.
King Yue could not help but stand up, his heart filled with anxiety."Yunyao, I just ..." He just wanted to get to know Mu Yunyao better. If they talked or did anything together, he wouldn't easily make her angry and make her more vigilant.
However, before he could finish speaking, Mu Yunyao placed the paper back into the book and then gently placed the book on the table: "Master Si, please take care of your rest. I don't have anything else to do here, so I'll take my leave first."
Yue Yang could clearly feel that something had shattered the instant Mu Yunyao saw those pieces of paper, causing his heart to suddenly surge with panic. It was not easy to get rid of the unhappiness from before, was it to return to the past?
"Yunyao ...." "Fourth Master, there is a difference in seniority. I don't even dare to call you that. It's better if you address me as Lady Mu." Mu Yunyao's heart was filled with suppressed anger. The relationship between her and the Su Family was her greatest secret, the source of her hatred. Yet Wang was secretly investigating her relationship with the Su Family.
This undoubtedly touched the most obscure part of her heart, causing her to suddenly raise all her defenses!
"I just wanted to know more about you ..." Mu Yunyao sneered. She had already done her best to endure the last interrogation and probing, and she had pretended that nothing had happened during these few days. She hadn't thought that the Titan had not given up at all, and was instead focused on investigating her mother and father.
Would he use her and her mother to deal with the Su Clan?
She told herself over and over again that she should calm down. But when she thought about how Yue Yang had not only expressed his goodwill towards her, but also investigated her information in secret, she couldn't calm down her anger at all.
"I mean no harm ..."
Mu Yunyao coldly pursed her lips, her gaze completely guarded."Your Highness Duke of Yue, let me ask you again. Even though you know that I have many secrets, you still decide not to kill me?"
"Why would I kill you ..."
"Heh, then I'll take my leave." Mu Yunyao turned around and walked out as she spoke.
Yue Yang hurriedly said, "Yunyao, remember to help me change my medicine tomorrow."
Mu Yunyao stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn around."There shouldn't be a lack of doctors by your side." With that, he walked away.
Along the way home, the aura around Mu Yunyao became even more oppressive, and Jin Lan and Jin Qiao didn't dare to make a sound as they followed behind her. The Snow Fox lightly jumped onto the chair and softly moaned coquettishly beside Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao lowered her head and stretched out her hand to touch the Snow Fox's warm fur. Her fingers moved around its neck; with just a slight squeeze, she would be able to end this little thing's life ...
A soft voice came from the door, followed by a soft voice from Jin Lan."Miss, you've returned. They said that they have something to report to you."
Mu Yunyao came back to her senses as her Snow Fox was coquettishly rubbing against her fingers. Her eyes were full of trust as she said, "Let him in."
"Greetings, Master." Kneeling on one knee, Li Yuan greeted respectfully, "The matter has been settled. As soon as Li Yuan saw the letter you prepared for everyone, he immediately agreed. We are all safe and sound."
Mu Yunyao nodded."Although Li Yuan loves beauties, he is a man with brains. He knows what is more important and what is less important. However, right now, we should all hide somewhere else to avoid the limelight."
"Yang Zhou City's Treasure Aura Pavilion can only be closed for the time being. We can wait for a new shopkeeper to take over before opening it again."
Mu Yunyao shook her head, "There's no need to be in such a rush. Right now, many people view this Treasure Aura Pavilion as the First Prince's property. Let's wait until the case of Yanzheng has been resolved, if ..."
"Mistress?" She was waiting for Mu Yunyao's warning, but stopped midway, "Your complexion isn't good, but are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked at the two taels of silver."It's nothing, six taels. I just coincidentally bought you that time, and you've returned my kindness wholeheartedly over the past year. If you seriously count it, you can be considered to have returned the favor ..."
A nervous feeling arose in her heart as she raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao. She hurriedly interrupted her, "Master, are you trying to chase me away?" Earlier, Mu Yunyao had said something similar that caused his heart to be perturbed for a long time. Now that she mentioned it again, it immediately gave him a bad premonition.
Mu Yunyao looked at the six taels and couldn't help but laugh at herself."I don't know why, but it's obvious that I only spent six taels to buy you, but I have an inexplicable feeling of trust in you ..."
Her six pairs of eyes lit up as her body trembled. Then, she respectfully lowered her head and said, "I will never betray Master."
Mu Yunyao stayed silent for a while before speaking again, "We've been in Jiangnan for quite some time, and some things have gradually gotten to the point where we can't avoid them. Since it's like this, we need to prepare in advance."
"Please give me your instructions, Master." You should be clear about Fourth Master Ning's identity. He is the fourth prince of the imperial court, the King of Assassins. Back then, they had worked together to open a 'No Envy' building. Even if he wasn't favoured, he was still a member of the royal family.
To me, it might be the same as a violent storm, so I have to think of a way to completely sever all ties with him."
When King Yue investigated her relationship with the Su Family, she finally made up her mind to separate from King Yue in advance.
He raised his head abruptly and asked: "But would the King of the Wings be willing?"
Mu Yunyao clenched her fist tightly as a decisive look flashed in her eyes, "I have my ways. You can arrange for more people to be placed by mother's side. I'm afraid Si Qin and the others might have second thoughts."
"Yes."
In the following few days, Mu Yunyao didn't go to the Embroidery Garden again. Instead, she meticulously cleaned up the books at home and cleared out her estate.
Inside the embroidered garden's study, King Yue's expression was ice-cold. He waited for Zhang Chun to help him change the medicine before retreating. He raised his head to look at Supervisor Qin, "Has there been any activity from Yunyao's side?"
"In reply to Your Highness, this old servant will consult you about the matter of the tower. Miss Mu has only sent someone to say that she is not feeling well." Steward Qin was worried, "Your Highness, weren't you and Miss Mu fine earlier? "Why did they suddenly get into so much trouble?"
"She accidentally found out that we were investigating her relationship with the Su Family, so she's very angry."
"It's all my fault. I thought that Mistress might look at Miss Mu's information again, so I placed the letter back on the table and let Miss Mu misunderstand me. Speaking of which, ever since the incident began, Miss Mu rarely interfered ..." As he was speaking, Yu Heng came over to report, "Your Highness, Lady Mu requests an audience."
