Nangong Mo raised his hand and gently pressed the space between his eyebrows. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes as he curled his lips mockingly. “Aren’t you afraid that Marquis Ding’an will come looking for you with a sword and end your life?”

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at him and made a gesture of pinching him to death. “I’m not afraid. There’s a saying that a husband pays his wife’s debts! The person who should be worried is you, Your Highness!”

Nangong Mo was incredulous. That darn girl. Did she think he couldn’t see what she was doing?

A flurry of footsteps could be heard as Lin Yanran rushed over, surrounded by a few young mistresses and a group of maidservants.

After bowing to Lin Qianqiu, she went straight to Madam Qin’s side. “Mother, what happened? Who did this to you?”

“Is there a need to ask? It must be that jinx, Lin Wanyue!”

Before Madam Qin could speak, Lin Zhu’er had already spoken first and walked towards Yun Ran aggressively.

Her head was still wrapped in gauze. She had been knocked unconscious by Yun Ran and was furious when she woke up. She was eager to settle the score with Yun Ran.

Lin Yanran was about to follow when Madam Qin stopped her and shook her head.

“Mother?”

Lin Yanran was a little puzzled. Could it be that they were afraid of that trash, Lin Wanyue?

Madam Qin took her hand and lowered her voice. “I underestimated her previously. She has hidden her strengths well under my watch all these years!”

“However, after this matter, I can be considered to have probed her depths. I still have to consider it at length in the future!”

Madam Qin’s words shocked Lin Yanran. She looked up at Yunran and swept her gaze across Madam Zhen, Granny Tang, and the fallen thugs. Her eyes were filled with surprise. “Mother, did she do all these? Not Nangong Mo’s guards?”

As soon as Lin Yanran finished speaking, she heard Lin Zhu’er scream and plunge into the lotus pond.

“Ah! Help… I don’t know… swim… cough cough… save… life…”

Yun Ran stood by the lotus pond. Her side profile was beautiful, and her figure was charming. The wind was blowing at her red skirt, and her clothes fluttered. She was as beautiful as a painting.

Lin Qianqiu felt a headache coming on as he looked at his daughter, whom he found unfamiliar yet exceptionally dazzling.

“Quick! Go down and save Eighth Miss!”

After a chaotic battle, Lin Zhu’er was rescued from the water. There were still a few seaweeds in her hair, and she looked extremely miserable.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhu’er could not learn to be obedient. She actually wanted to fight to the death with Yun Ran, but she was hugged tightly by her nanny and personal maid.

“My lady, calm down. A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him! We will have plenty of time to take revenge in the future!”

Lin Zhu’er was furious, so she glared fiercely at Yun Ran’s back and fantasized about cutting her into pieces!

Yun Ran suddenly bent down to pick up the brick on the ground. She weighed it in her hand and looked back with a faint smile.

Lin Zhu’er shivered and shrank into Nanny’s arms, looking at Yun Ran warily.

The hearts of those who were swept by Yunran’s gaze trembled. What did she want to do with that brick again? Who did she want to hit with it?

“It is said that trouble comes from the mouth. I advise everyone to watch your mouths and know what to say and what not to say. Otherwise, you won’t know how you died when you go to Hades one day.”

The clear female voice was casual and iut echoed in the wind.

Everyone nodded vigorously, almost instinctively, under her gentle and cool gaze.

Then they saw the brick in her hand crack in half.

It had split open without warning…

Not only did it crack, but it shattered into pieces and fell to the ground…

Everyone’s expressions cracked as well… They even felt that it wasn’t the brick that had shattered on the ground, but their brains…

Nangong Mo rubbed his glabella and closed his eyes slightly, looking like he didn’t know her.

However, there was a suspicious and doting smile on his lips.

“Your Highness, wake up. I’m here to send you on your way!”

The corners of Nangong Mo’s mouth twitched slightly. He opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

“You’ll get beaten to death for being so arrogant.”

“Your Highness, what are you thinking?” Yun Ran pouted. She was in high spirits and looked confident. “If anyone should be killed, it should be me killing someone!”

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips and reminded her earnestly, “You’re a girl.”

What’s wrong with girls? They can still twist off your wretched head, believe it or not.

Nangong Mo was speechless.

Then, under everyone’s different gazes, Yun Ran pushed Nangong Mo, followed by the four handsome and murderous guards, and strode away.

Lin Yanran watched them for a long time. Only when Nangong Mo and Yun Ran’s figures completely disappeared did she slowly retract her gaze.

Her eyes were dark, and the silk handkerchief in her palm had been crumpled into a ball.

Looking at their loving expressions, it was as if a heavy stone was stuck in her heart. It was oppressive, dull, and left her with nowhere to vent.

… .

An hour later, along the long street of the Imperial Capital. Yun Ran lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling street market outside. She turned around and looked at Nangong Mo with a smile.

“Your Highness, why don’t you go back with them first? I’ll go out for a walk!”

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing smile on his lips. “Why? Are you going to kill someone again?”

Yun Ran was speechless.

“Your Highness, look at what you’re saying. How can that be? Am I such a violent person? I just want to stroll around and buy some food.”

“Are you a pig? All you do is eat.”

This bastard! Does he not want his head anymore?

What’s wrong with me eating a little? Did I eat your rice?

As a matter of fact, you have been eating his rice…

Damn bird, shut up!

“Your Highness, you’re wrong! If I don’t even know how to eat, wouldn’t I be an idiot!”

Nangong Mo supported his chin with one hand and thought for a moment before nodding. “That’s true, but…”

“What?”

“Do you have any silver?”

Yun Ran was speechless.

You black-hearted, shameless bastard! How dare you mention silver to me? Who cheated me of my silver? Huh?

“Master, you don’t have to worry about that. With my intelligence…”

“Are you resorting to scamming? Or a robbery?”

Yun Ran was speechless.

What a beautiful face! What a charming voice! Why don’t you speak human language?

Just as she was cursing silently, she saw the man waving a handful of golden leaves in front of her eyes. In an instant, the golden leaves shone brightly and filled the car, almost blinding Yun Ran.

Without thinking, she reached for it.

However, the man dodged her cunningly and she did not catch anything.

Yun Ran was speechless. Nangong Mo, you’re too much!

The man’s lips curved into a charming smile. “Do you want it?”

“Yes, yes!”

“How about this? Sing a song for me. If I’m happy hearing it, the money will be yours.”

Yun Ran was speechless.

Sing my ass! I knew you weren’t that kind! Bastard! Even dogs are cuter than you!

Nangong Mo was speechless. Were all dogs… cuter than him? Was he… worse than a dog?

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Ran with dark eyes. “It’s fine if you don’t sing. Why don’t you learn to bark like a puppy for me?”

Yun Ran was seething. What was she to do? She didn’t want to bark like a dog. She wanted to bite like a dog and chomp this black-hearted, shameless man to death!
