Chapter 34 part1

No matter how bad she felt, it was still her problem. There was no more point in dwelling on it. No need to make life difficult for herself.

If she couldn’t get any gold coins as a reward, then she would just let it go and see saving Long Xiao Nan as a good deed she did.

Mu Zi Ling took away the unwell and lost feelings in her heart. Then she turned to Xie and said, “Xie, let’s go in.”

Even if it was his elders, no matter who stood front of Long Xiao Yu, his golden mouth would not open. Why would she stand there foolishly, waiting for him to give her permission to leave?

She didn’t want to be associated with this guy ever again in her life. Since he kept ignoring her, then in the future, she would just walk the opposite direction if she saw him.

“Yes,” Mu Zi Ling’s word had probably rubbed off on Xie so that she wasn’t so scared anymore.

Seeing Mu Zi Ling’s heart feel unwell, her heart also felt unwell.

The Young Miss had already said so much. Even if his highness was angry, he should at least say something instead of ignoring the Young Miss.

As the master and servant duo walked towards the Yu Han Palace feeling unwell, Long Xiao Yu also silently flew off the roof.

Right when Mu Zi Ling and Xie were one step away from the Yu Han Palace, Long Xiao Yu’s indifferent voice came from behind them, “Mu Zi Ling, when did this king tell you that you could leave?”

When Mu Zi Ling heard his voice, she had originally intended to ignore it. However, she stopped unconsciously and slowly turned around.

She kept her face expressionless as she looked at Long Xiao Yu’s angry expression. Then she said, “Although your highness hasn’t said for this wife to leave, your highness has never said that this wife should stay. This wife saw your highness busy thinking, so this wife thought about it and decided to leave so as to not bother you. If this wife did do something wrong, then may this wife ask for your highness to please forgive her?”

She really couldn’t see through Long Xiao Yu. It was he who ignored her when she greeted him earlier, yet when she tried to leave, Long Xiao Yu came down to talk to her. Was he trying to look for trouble by saying that she had no etiquette?

Long Xiao Yu stared coldly at Mu Zi Ling. It seemed like he was trying to figure out the real meaning behind her words. However, Mu Zi Ling’s eyes were clear and didn’t even blink once. It was as if she meant what she said.

Mu Zi Ling’s patience was about to disappear. He was not talking again. What did he want with her?

“Your highness, can this wife leave now?” asked Mu Zi Ling again as she held in her temper patiently. If he continued stay silent, then she couldn’t promise she wouldn't explode and walk away.

Long Xiao Yu retrieved his gaze without any expressions. With an awe inspiring aura, he walked into the Yu Han Palace first.

After he left the master and servant pair, a group of crows flew past their eyes.

Was Long Xiao Yu trying to tell them to not walk in front of him?

This guy had such an odd temper. Was he toying with her?

By the time Mu Zi Ling and Xie walked into the Yu Han Palace, Long Xiao Yu had already entered the inner palace. The door was tightly shut, and it seemed like as if nothing has happened.

Mu Zi Ling was very confused. She originally thought happily that she could easily receive the reward money without any difficulties. However, now he was ignoring her.

Since this method couldn’t work, then what other methods could she use? She had already signed the contract, so she could not go back on her words now. If she knew this earlier, then she wouldn’t have been so impetuous in her decision.

The next morning, Mu Zi Ling was pulled out of her dreams by Xie, “Young Miss, hurry and wake up. Uncle Fu came over saying that he had matters to speak to you about.”

“What matters? Tell him to come back some other day. Let me sleep for a bit more,” said Mu Zi Ling, muddle headedly as her eyes drooped.

Because of last night’s matter, she had tossed and turned restlessly in bed for the whole night and when she finally felt sleepy after all that trouble, Xie was trying to get her to wake up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That wouldn’t do, Young Miss, Uncle Fu brought over a group of people, and it seems like he really does have some matters to talk with you about. Hurry and get up, Young Miss,” said Xie hurriedly.

When she saw Uncle Fu bring over a group of people over, she had been terrified. Could it be that because Young Miss ignored his highness yesterday, he was now ordering people to come here and punish the Young Miss?

“Alright, Xie. Let me sleep for a little bit longer. Just a little bit longer,” said Mu Zi Ling not willing to give up. She was really sleepy and tired. What matter did Uncle Fu want to speak to her about for him to come over so early?

“Young Miss,” Xie’s voice was filled with worry.

Right now, her heart was racing really fast. If Uncle Fu came in and saw the Young Miss like this, what would happen if he reported it to his highness?

In the end, Mu Zi Ling couldn’t win against Xie, and was pulled out of the bed by Xie. After she finished dressing up and looked neat and tidy, she simply rinsed her face.

“Alright. Xie, invite them in,” yawned Mu Zi Ling inarticulately as she didn’t care about her appearance.

She was very sleepy. Uncle Fu better have something important to say, otherwise the consequences for bothering her while she was sleeping would be severe.

“Yes.” said Xie.

After a while, Uncle Fu and the others came in. They were really a large group of people, however, every one of them carried a pile of books in their hands. One wouldn’t come if one did not have anything to do. What did they want to do?

“We greet Princess,” they said, bowing in unison.

“You may all rise. Uncle Fu, what’s the matter?” said Mu Zi Ling as she lied lazily on the soft mattress. Her voice was neither calm nor weak.

“Princess, these are the manor’s account bills for the past few years. Please examine them carefully,” said uncle Fu respectfully as he pointed towards the group of people holding piles of books in their hands.

“What?” Mu Zi Ling suddenly jolted up.
