Mu Zi Ling arrived at the Yu Han palace. She saw a person on the roof, and she knew it was Long Xiao Yu.
He was lying on the roof with his feet in the air, and his head supported by a hand, there was a cold aura revolving around him.Time seemed to stop because of his existence.
Right now, the night sky was pitch black and her surroundings were silent. It was as if only he existed the whole world. He was respected, cold, and someone you should not profane.
When Mu Zi Ling lit up once she saw Long Xiao Yu. There was still a chance sheâd get the money!
Although it was very hard for someone to look away from this scene, she didnât dare to stay there for too long.
She looked towards Xie and quietly gestured for her to quietly go in. She wanted to change into female clothes before coming back out. However, she was still noticed by Long Xiao Yu.
Long Xiao Yu seemed to know that she was below him and he slightly inclined his head so that his cold eyes were staring straight at the woman dressed in male clothes trying to quietly sneak through the doors. His eyes flashed with a quick trace of anger, but he didnât say anything.
Mu Zi Ling was suddenly frozen by Long Xiao Yuâs cold glare.
Mu Zi Ling was a little annoyed. Why didnât she buy lottery tickets in the past?? She couldâve definitely won a jackpot! Every time that she came back from somewhere special, she would always run into Long Xiao Yu!
This time however, she had something she wanted to talk about with Long Xiao Yu, so she was actually quite happy to run into him. She wanted to quietly go in, change her clothes to conceal a fault, but he still noticed her.
She was going to act as if she didnât see him and continue to walk in, but no matter what she did, she couldnât lift her feet.
She looked over at Xie, who was in even worse condition than her. Xie was so scared that her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and her head was buried to the point of almost disappearing. Mu Zi Ling suddenly felt very sorry for Xie.
Mu Zi Ling helplessly and guiltily raised her head. She bowed slightly and said, âThis wife greets your highness.â
She didnât know why she felt guilty. She didnât even do anything shameful. However, being stared at by Long Xiao Yu like that, she was truly scared. His eyes seemed to want to eat someone.
âThis⦠this servant greets your highness Qi King.â Xie was also trembling out of fear as she greeted him.
Even now, she still didnât dare lift her head up. Why didnât Young Miss just greet him first and then walk into the palace honorably.
They only greeted him when they were caught. Would his highness be angry at the Young Miss? Angry at her for only greeting him now?
Long Xiao Yu didnât have any reaction. He was still staring at Mu Zi Ling coldly. It seemed like he could see all the way through her.
Mu Zi Ling lowered her head slightly, and she clenched her teeth. Then she silently comforted herself in her heart. They had already been caught anyways, so there would be no need to conceal anything now.
Although she was still wearing male clothing, at least this time she wore them neatly and tidily. She also didnât look like a sorry figure anymore. Even though it was dark when she came back, but it didnât seem to be too late.
Right now would probably the time she ate dinner. In addition, he would probably not bother with controlling what she did. If he wanted to control her, he wouldâve done it a long time ago. He had not reason to wait until now.
Although he looked like he was cold and merciless, to her, he now looked more like an ordinary person. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Taking advantage of the fact he had yet to leave, she would have to quickly discuss the important matter with him. Otherwise if he left in a bit, then she would have to find people to go look for him. If that happened, she didnât know how many days she would have to wait.
âThis wife has something she wants to discuss with your highness.â
Although Mu Zi Ling was telling her heart to not be scared, her voice was still very quiet as she spoke. It seemed like she was saying it for herself to hear.
Mu Zi Ling saw that Long Xiao Yu did not reaction and thought that it was because he did not hear her, so she gathered up her courage and screamed louder,
âYour highness, this wife has some matters to discuss with you!â
â¦â¦
There was still no response. Mu Zi Ling couldnât bare it anymore. Was it because her voice was not loud enough, or was it because Long Xiao Yu was acting as if he couldnât hear her? Or was he not paying attention to her at all? Either way, why did he keep staring at her like that?
âYour highness, although this wife cured the Fifth Princeâs illness, you havenât given her any reward money yet.
When Mu Zi Ling said âmoneyâ, she said it extra loud.
She just went straight to the main point without feeling embarrassed or turning red because it was true. She even put her life on the line today just to save Long Xiao Nan, and used quite a lot of energy. In addition, it was Long Xiao Yu who came looking for her to cure him, and not her who went there willingly.
He didnât even give her any reward money when she saved Gui Ying last time. Although to be fair, she was the one who willingly went to save him. Not to mention, the amount of time that has passed by already, she would just let that one past.
This time, she really needed money. There was nothing wrong with asking Long Xiao Yu for money. Even among brothers, accounts should be settled without ambiguity.
In addition, other than them having the title of husband and wife, they were comparable to complete strangers. They carried on with life without bothering the other party. She didnât know anything about him, nor did he know anything about her.
Moreover, didnât that old Empress Dowager at the Royal Palace say that Long Xiao Nanâs life was very precious? He must be worth a lot of gold right? After getting ahold of a bit of that gold, any monetary problems about opening the shop would probably be all solved.
However, her thinking was probably a bit too naive.
Long Xiao Yu had already stood up when she wasnât paying attention. At this moment, you could vaguely see his deep, dark eyes that seemed to be bottomless.
Long Xiao Yu still didnât speak when he stood up. He didnât look at Mu Zi Ling anymore, nor did he leave. He only stared off into the dark distance. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Mu Zi Ling saw Long Xiao Yu ignoring and disregarding her like this, and she felt battered and exhausted as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her. All of her scared and happy emotions disappeared. She felt sick inside.
She mocked herself for a moment. Whatever, since this guy didnât put her in his eyes, then there was no reason for her to keep bothering him.

Her ego didnât allow her to be so easily defeated, but she just couldnât see through him. The only time he noticed her was when he needed her for something. He could unrestrained ask her to do something, but she would not be able to unrestrained ask for rewards.
However, why was it that the more she thought about it, the worse she felt?
