Chapter 485

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

MO Ruyue didn’t care about her reputation at all. Besides, this family was a criminal, so they deserved to die.

Even if these people went to the border, it was uncertain how many of them would survive.

This time, she would not save such a disgusting person no matter what. She would not save her even if she was given money.

She wanted to see if something bad would happen if she didn’t save her this time.

Now that she had everything, she didn’t believe that anything bad would happen to her.

The last time was definitely a coincidence.

She believed that the heavens still had eyes.

Even if something bad happened, she would rather face it than save such a disgusting person.

Yuan Shan was terrified, and her asthma attack worsened. She was dragged away by the soldiers, and she was already out of breath within a hundred meters. She still felt the approaching death slowly, and her eyes widened as she died with grievances.

The soldiers dragged her out of the city gate for a hundred meters before realizing that Yuan Shan was already dead. They immediately ordered a soldier to drag her back and throw her back into the pile of Yuan family corpses that had been beheaded. They threw her into the mass grave together with the other corpses.

Yuan Shan’s death didn’t cause any commotion among the troops.

The only person who could attract attention was Yuan Yuan.

Before the Yuan family was raided, she had already found out that it was her sister who disfigured her face because she liked her fiancé.

Seeing her sister’s death, she did not know if she was happy or sad. It was as if she could see her future from her sister. At this moment, her heart was numb.

“Ah, it’s a pity that she died just like that.”

“Why didn’t the doctor save her? Isn’t the job of a doctor to save people?”

When many commoners saw Yuan Shan’s death, some of them muttered softly. As the first person spoke, a second and third person responded, and the voices became louder and louder.

MO Ruyue didn’t think much of it. She had seen too much of human nature.

Granny Rong couldn’t tolerate those people spouting nonsense. She was so angry that her face turned cold and she was about to scold them. How dare these ignorant commoners talk about her princess!

“Slap them!”

MO Ruyue ordered the guards behind her.

Immediately, two guards stood out and walked toward those who spoke.

Pa, pa, pa. They gave each of them a few big slaps.

As they were all guards, their strength was naturally not small. With two slaps, the faces of those who spoke were swollen.

MO Ruyue felt refreshed.

At this moment, she felt even more grateful to Ji Hong.

It was good to have a status. She didn’t even need to do it herself.

The commoners were suddenly stunned. Why did the guards with sabers suddenly come up and beat people up for no reason?

After the two guards had slapped the people who had said bad things about MO Ruyue, Granny Rong could finally step forward and berate them. “Do you think that the Yuan family shouldn’t have been raided?”

“The Emperor was merciful and spared these people’s lives. Even the heavens couldn’t bear to see this, so he had to give those vicious people their death.” “Are you fighting for the Yuan family’s daughter?”

“How can a filthy sinner like her be worthy of the princess’s treatment!”

The commoners finally understood. The first part was not important. What was important was that the person they were talking about was the Princess! No wonder she was dressed so extravagantly and had such an extraordinary aura.

Knowing that MO Ruyue was a princess, those who were close to MO Ruyue were scared away from her.

They were afraid that they would accidentally step on her and touch her. That would be a death penalty.

Some of the smarter ones immediately knelt down and kowtowed to MO

Ruyue.

Hence, everyone knelt down.

MO Ruyue did not understand why these people were suddenly kneeling down.

She didn’t say anything, nor did she scold them. Granny Rong only scolded those who said that she didn’t save Yuan Shan.

MO Ruyue wasn’t here specifically to see them kneel. She was just here to watch the show.

Now that the fun was over, she was going home.

She still had to teach the doctors how to perform cesarean section.

However, she did not make a sound to let those people get up.

Many times, ignorant people who could not differentiate right from wrong could not give them a good look and let them know what was right and what was wrong.

Anyway, those people would naturally wake up after she left.

After MO Ruyue left, the commoners complained in their hearts. ‘She is a good princess. Why did she come to the city gate to watch the beheading?’

The few people who were slapped did not get up from the ground for a long time, and their backs were drenched in sweat.

They had almost been on the guillotine today.

After MO Ruyue returned to the Palace, she first ate and rested for a while.

Then, she got up to answer the questions of the palace maids about the cesarean section.

However, Granny Yan came over to inform her that the eldest daughter of the Song family had come to see her.

“The eldest daughter of the Song family?”

MO Ruyue was puzzled. Who was the eldest daughter of the Song Family?

She had come to the capital only to deliver the child for Imperial Concubine Li, but she had never met the eldest daughter of the Song family.

Oh, wait. She really knew a lady from the Song family!

“Let her in.”

After a while, Song Jiaxin jogged in happily. She didn’t look like a young miss at all.

“MO Ruyue.”

“This commoner greets Princess Ming Yue!”

“Alright. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”

However, when Song Jiaxin saw the palace maids, Granny Yan, and Granny Rong, she still restrained herself.

MO Ruyue could tell that she was uncomfortable and waved at Granny Rong and Granny Yan.

“You guys can leave first. I want to talk to her privately.”

“Yes.

After the two nannies left, Song Jiaxin returned to her usual self.

“Princess, you’re really something. You’ve been in the capital for so long and you haven’t come to play with me.”

“Sit down. I’m still me. I just have an additional title.”

“Don’t you know what I’ve been doing these past few days?”

If this emperor wasn’t the emperor she knew, she might be at home or in prison now.

Song Jiaxin stuck out her tongue and realized the danger she had been in.

“You are an auspicious person. You have your own destiny, and you can turn bad luck into good luck!”

Song Jiaxin didn’t stand on ceremony. She picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of water to drink.

“Aiya, this is great. Even the tea is top-notch tribute tea. If I didn’t come to the Palace, I wouldn’t be able to drink such tea.”

MO Ruyue looked at Song Jiaxin and asked her to continue her performance. She did not believe her at all.

She remembered that her aunt was still the current Empress Dowager.

Moreover, this person was deeply liked by Empress Dowager and would not give her niece good tea.

Song Jiaxin was mischievous for a while more before she told MO Ruyue her purpose for coming.

“I heard from my aunt that you’ll be going home in a few days. It’s not easy for you to come, but you didn’t come to my place.”

“I said before that you had to do your best to be a host in the capital, but now, it’s not that easy for me to do so.”

“I wonder if it’s possible for me to invite you to Xiangguo Temple to admire the moon at the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

“Xiangguo Temple was very lively that day. It only happens once a year, and I might not be able to go in the future. This year is the last year.”

“Why?”

Song Jiaxin knew what MO Ruyue meant by ‘why’. She blushed in embarrassment.

“Isn’t it because I’m going to be eighteen next year and get married? Once I get married, I’ll belong to someone else’s family. How can I have so much freedom? If I want to go out, I have to report to the mother-in-law and get her permission..”
