Before Mu Zi Ling could respond, the horse carriage started to move. Losing
her balance, she almost accidentally stumbled into Long Xiao Yuâs embrace,
but thanks to her quick reflexes, she quickly bent down with one hand held tightly
onto the jar of soup and the other latched onto the the edge of the carriage.
That way, she wouldnât accidentally spill the soup nor crash into him. However,
she wasn't sure if Long Xiao Yu would still randomly kick her off the carriage.
Mu Zi Ling wanted to cry, but she had no tears. This was such a small carriage.
Why did Long Xiao Yu want to ride in the same one as her?
As of then, she had been squatting in front of Long Xiao Yu, at a loss of what to do.
She didnât dare to move around, so no matter how you looked, she looked ridiculous.
She didnât dare look at Long Xiao Yuâs face either. Would he laugh at her?
He shouldnât, right? His face was practically a mountain that had been frozen for
thousands of years. How would it be possible for him to laugh? However, the position
she was in was quickly stripping her of her dignity. Her image as a virtuous lady had
been scrapped. Could she change her posture now?
Just as Mu Zi Ling thought that she would have to stay in this position until they
reached the Manor, a sharp sound travelled down from above her. It was as if it was
the voice of a god.
Long Xiao Yu slightly furrowed his brows and said, âGet up. What are you squatting
down there for?â
Mu Zi Ling quickly stood up and guiltily said, âThis Wifeâs legs suddenly felt weak,
but now she's fine.â
After she finished talking, she started to look for a place that she could sit down.
She tried her best, but she still accidentally touched Long Xiao Yu. She discreetly
looked at Long Xiao Yu to check his expressions, but his eyes were closed. She
couldn't tell whether or not he was actually asleep, but he didnât seem to care about
it at all.
In the end, Mu Zi Ling still carefully found the smallest and safest spot before she sat
down.
The two didnât speak for the rest of the way back. On the whole way back, Long Xiao
Yu didnât open his eyes again. Mu Zi Ling would sneak a glance at him every so
often. Just seeing once wasn't enough, so she continued to look at him.
Although Long Xiao Yuâs eyes were closed, he still emitted an aura that made people
tremble in fear.
His facial features lit up like stars, his lips were as red as cherries, and his cold and
handsome chin sketched out a handsome face. It was as delicate as a carved statue.
Mu Zi Ling sunk deeper and deeper into her trance. No matter how much she looked
at him, she didnât feel like it was enough. This the first time she dared look at Long
Xiao Yu so closely.
As they approached the Qi Kingâs Manor, a lot of noise could suddenly be heard.
Mu Zi Ling felt that a certain voice in the crowd sounded familiar, so she lifted the
curtains to the carriage to take a look. What she saw ignited the fire and fury inside
of her. She placed the jar of sparrow soup down on somewhere safe. Then without
regard to the fact that the carriage was still moving, or that next to her Long Xiao Yu
might or might not be asleep, she lifted her dress and jumped off of the carriage
However, something pulled her hand. Mu Zi Ling turned around to see Long Xiao Yu
pulling on her hand. Right now, she didnât care why Long Xiao Yu had grabbed onto
her hand, and she was about to tell him to let go, but Long Xiao Yu beat her to it.
âStop the carriage!â
Only until the carriage stopped did Long Xiao Yu let go of Mu Zi Lingâs hand.
Seeing that her hand had been released, she didn't give a second thought before
jumping off the carriage.
After Mu Zi Ling got off of the carriage, Long Xiao Yu looked at the jar of soup. He
opened the jar and took out a piece of black cloth. He dipped the piece of cloth into
the jar of soup and then folded it up.

There were a lot of servants standing around the front door of the Qi Kingâs Manor.
âThis Young Miss is the Qi Princessâs younger sister! How dare to block my way?!
Move!â screamed Mu Yi Xue loudly at the front doors of the Manor.
She must enter the Qi Kingâs Manor today. Last time, Mu Zi ling hadnât let her in, so
she must get it no matter what happened this time. She didnât care if she wasn't able
to see Mu Zi Ling, she was here for his highness the Qi King anyways.
Xie stiffly held the left side of her face that she slapped and said, âSecond Young
Miss, my Young Miss really isnât here right now. This servant has already said that
many times.â
Xie was currently in a really pitiful state. Her left cheek was burning with pain, but
she didnât shed a single drop of tear. Her Young Miss had already told her that in
order to protect her, she could not be weak, she couldn't cry so easily.
âStupid servant! Itâs not up to you whether she is here or not! This Young Miss will
definitely enter the manor today! Go away, donât block me!â screamed Mu Yi Xue
with a face full of viciousness.
As she was spoke, she was getting ready to slap Xie again, but Mu Zi Ling arrived
just in time to catch Mu Yi Xueâs hand. Then she stretched out her hand and fiercely
struck it upon Mu Yi Xueâs face.
Pa! Pa!
Mu Yi Xue was surprised and unprepared for the attack. After being struck so
fiercely by Mu Zi Ling, Mu Yi Xue fell to the ground.
Mu Yi Xue held onto her cheeks, both of which had been slapped. Then she
hatefully raised her head and looked towards the person who slapped her.
âMu Zi Ling, you dare slap me!â Mu Yi Xueâs eyes suddenly lit up with a fury that
could not be extinguished.
That idiot dared to hit her! In the past, Mu Zi Ling was nothing more than a mouse
afraid of a cat when she saw her. However, now that she had become the Qi
Princess, she had started to act so arrogantly. Now she dared hit and slap her
over and over again. Was she sick of living?!
Mu Zi Ling shook her hand, it burned from slapping Mu Yi Xue. She coldly said,
âHow dare I? This Princess has not blamed your face for hurting my hand, yet you
try slander me? Do you want another slap?â
Normally, she couldnât even bear say such hurtful words to others, but Mu Yi Xue
had dared slap Xie. If it was not because she didnât want to hurt her hands, she
wouldâve already stuck Mu Yi Xue to the point that she wouldn't be recognizable
to her mother!
When everyone present heard Mu Zi Lingâs words, they all couldnât help but suck
in a deep breath. How could the Qi Princess be scandalous yet sound so rightful?
What was she trying to say when she accused Mu Yi Xueâs face of hitting hands?
How could a face hit a hand? The Qi Princess was incredibly imposing, yet
everyone present felt the need to worship her.
