Chapter 26

Mo Youyou innocently stared at Wu Shang before asking,

“Hmm. What else did he tell you?”

“No….Nothing.”

“Oh, let’s go and eat then!”

Wu Shang quickly walked in front and led the way, rushing towards the kitchen.

After the meal, Mo Youyou remembered Yue Er. Although her feelings for her weren’t deep, she was still the first person she had met. So her feelings for her were different from others.

She asked Wu Shang, who was beside her.

“Can I pack it?”

Wu Shang was stunned yet again.

“Can I take some food with me?”

“If Ninth Miss still wants to eat it, this subordinate will immediately make the kitchen prepare more food for you. These dishes are already cold…”

Mo Youyou anxiously cut in, “No no no, it’s not because it’s cold! Wu Shang, I know Prince Jing’s Manor is very wealthy, but you can’t waste food. You have to know how shameful it is to waste it. Alright, get someone to wrap these up for me. I’ll bring them back.”

Wu Shang did not know whether or not he should listen to Mo Youyou’s words. But upon hearing Mo Youyou’s urging again, Wu Shang felt helpless, and could only order people to put away the meat dishes that Mo Youyou did not touch.

On the way back to the southern courtyard, Mo Youyou asked Wu Shang:

“Do you know where my servant Yue Er went?”

Wu Shang was startled for a moment and replied:

“Reporting to the Ninth Miss, in Prince Jing’s Manor’s dungeon.”

“What? A dungeon? How could you lock her inside a prison?”

Wu Shang explained:

“Every servant that comes to Prince Jing’s Manor has to be interrogated by the Soul Search Technique. Once they are certain that she is not a traitor, they will quickly let her go.”

Hearing Wu Shang’s words, why does Mo Youyou feel that this Helian Yi was more and more abnormal? Everyone had to get through the Soul Search technique? Would that thing have any side effects on the brain?

Seeing Mo Youyou’s suspicious look at him, Wu Shang understood and said:

“Ninth Miss doesn’t have to worry. The Soul Search will not harm Yue Er.”

Mo Youyou sighed helplessly. It seemed that she could only eat the delicious food that she brought to Yue Er.

“It’s good that it doesn’t. Let’s go…”

She then walked in front of Wu Shang and returned to the southern courtyard. After Wu Shang left, Mo Youyou placed the food in her room and pretended to have a stomachache. She called on the guards outside the door.

Taking advantage of the moment the guard opened the door, she picked up the vase on the table and threw it at the guard’s neck. She proudly glanced at the man on the ground, then quickly took off the man’s clothes and put them on herself. Although it looked a bit out of place, she was still decent.

In a split-second, Mo Youyou changed from a slender and elegant woman to a vigorous-looking man.

She bowed at the guards on the ground, then apologized to them. Clutching her stomach, she bent down and ran out of the southern courtyard.

“Who is it!? Stop right there!

Just as she arrived at the entrance of Prince Jing’s Manor, a guard stopped her. The guard used a long blade to block Mo Youyou’s path.

Mo Youyou took out a few taels of silver from her bosom and handed it over to the guard, as she spoke with a smile.

“Hehe, brothers, this is just a small sum of money. I don’t have any use for it. I hope you can let me go out and buy some medicine to eat.”

Seeing the guard’s suspicious eyes staring at her, Mo Youyou spoke again:

“Don’t you know? This morning, our Prince brought me to eat something delicious, but just now, my stomach suddenly hurt. His Royal Highness is not at home right now. Sigh! If something were to happen to this little brother, your highness would surely feel very sad…”

After the guards heard Mo Youyou’s words, they looked at each other. They knew that their Master did not like women, but they never thought that it would exactly be as the rumors say!

After sizing up Mo Youyou for a moment, the leading guard thought to himself: So it turns out that Master likes this kind of pretty boy!

The guard looked at Mo Youyou’s face and then thought about the scene where she was living together with their Master. He quickly waved his hand and signaled her to leave!

Taking a big step forward, Mo Youyou was finally out of Prince Jing’s Manor. She was ecstatic upon going out. It made her feel glad that she was born a smart person.

Before she left earlier, she made sure to take a few silvers from the guard’s pocket. And even though they weren’t much, it was enough for her to get out the Manor. She must quickly think of a way to get that order badge!

She wandered around Ming You City’s Street. When she saw the novelties on the sides of the street, she couldn’t help but walk around to play with them.

When she heard that the man at the side was selling candied fruits, Mo Youyou ran over with small steps.

When she approached the candy stall, the old uncle asked enthusiastically:

“Young Master, do you want a string?”

Mo Youyou nodded her head and extended her hand out to take out some silver, only to realize that she was already penniless. She sighed helplessly.

“I don’t want it.”

The man glared at Mo Youyou before coldly snorting:

“Humph! Go away if you don’t want to buy something! Don’t block my business!”
