“Is Cefei satisfied with Bengong’s pair of hummingbirds?” Zong Zheng Ying’s already thin and long face carried a hint of scorn, giving her a fierce and mean appearance.
“Qie thanks Princess for her generosity in bestowing Qie a treasure for personal enjoyment.” Mu Xi Yao replied respectfully, making sure to maintain her posture while showing no sign of cowardice.
Far out on the surface of the sea, if people were to witness the scene in front of them, their three views would surely be shaken.
A group of dolphins and a nurse shark had surrounded a person and were affectionately rubbing against her. The nurse shark, in particular, seemed to yearn to throw itself into her arms.
Sir Wei, are you going to Danruo Courtyard again?” Tian Fu Shan chuckled meaningfully, teasing Wei Zhen without reservation.
Wei Zhen kept a straight face and walked past him with a solemn expression. When no one was around, he couldn’t hold back his expression anymore. Mistress Yao suddenly became concerned about his major life affair. She would every now and then call him to Danruo Courtyard ‘to offer him some advice’, and even entrust him with laying the Young Master’s ‘martial arts foundation’.
“Your Highness, the three Misses from the residence have brought Miss Xiao Qiao over to express their gratitude,” Yan Cheng Zhou reported with a somewhat awkward expression.
Three young ladies came to seek an audience all at once in the middle of the evening. Except for one who was well-mannered, the other two wore heavy makeup and pestered him for a long time, almost forcing their way in.
“Sir Wei is the eldest grandson from the fourth shu branch1 of the Duke of Wei’s House?” Mu Xi Yao was extremely shocked by Wei Zhen’s background.
“The note went through your hands first. As a carefully-trained spy, if you couldn’t detect any abnormalities, how could Qie know more than you?” Mu Xi Yao blinked her eye cunningly. People with ulterior motives naturally couldn’t find peace of mind.
As expected, Lady Wu was smart. After a little contemplation, she immediately understood the meaning behind Mu Xi Yao’s words. Upon realizing that she had been tricked by her from the start, she was instantly filled with fury. Unable to contain herself, the blood she had been suppressing in her throat gushed out.
