She reflexively stood up, but her feet slipped and she fell straight into the pool.

Fortunately, the owner of the voice was quick and held her by the waist to prevent her from falling into a puddle.

Hua Mu Jin pushed the people away and scolded, "Are you a ghost? There's not a single sound when you walk! "

The man innocently shrugged his shoulders. He smiled as he listened to her curses, but he was not the least bit angry.

"Actually, I have called you a few times. But you were too absorbed to hear it. "So I had no choice but to …"

She rolled her eyes at the man, but Hua Mu Jin still didn't give him a good face. "If you have something to say, then say it. If you have to fart, then let it go. I'm tired of this!"

"Gulp …"

As soon as Hua Mu Jin finished her sentence, her stomach started growling again.

Instantly, he had an awkward expression.

The man, on the other hand, had a gentle and refined expression, without a trace of ridicule. "I wonder if Eldest Miss can honor me and accompany me to the restaurant for a meal?"

Frowning, he looked at the man warily, as if he always felt that there was a conspiracy. Hua Mujiao's face was filled with distrust.

"Bai Lingyu, as a dignified prince, you can't be thinking of selling me to get rich, right? You know my temper, I can't sell it for any good price! "

Hearing this.

The man couldn't help but laugh a few times. He was startled for a long time, but his mind kept reeling back and forth from saying, "Deceiving and selling to get rich."

"Don't worry, everyone knows that you aren't worth much." I just heard that you were talking to yourself about what guqin you were looking for, and that I happen to be a person who loves the guqin. That's why I wanted to understand what you were talking about when I was feeding you. "

As he said this, Bai Linyu paused for a moment before turning around with her back facing Hua Mu Jin as she spoke.

"Of course, if Eldest Miss isn't interested, I won't force you. Just consider it as This King putting on an act, there's no need to care about it. "

When Bai Ling Yu spoke of the zither, Hua Mu Jin couldn't help but ask.

But she also knew that if she recklessly asked, she would definitely not get the answer she wanted.

"Since Your Highness has the heart, how can I refuse?"

"Gulp …"

After she said this, Hua Mujiao's stomach growled again.

Looking at the man who was trying his best not to laugh, she felt embarrassed.

The biggest restaurant in the Imperial City, the Cloud Returning Pavilion.

Within the private room, the man looked at the woman, who was in a state of complete indignity, with his mouth agape. The chopsticks in his hand stopped in midair.

Hua Mujiao coldly glanced at the white feathers, and then said, "If you don't eat it, then put the chopsticks down. I can finish it all by myself!"

As if afraid that the food would be snatched away, while gnawing on the pig's feet, Hua Mu Jin fiercely glared at Bai Ling Yu's chopsticks.

Withdrawing his shocked expression, Bai Linyu put down her chopsticks.

"I'm not hungry. Eat, it's not enough."

From Bai Linyu's gaze, Hua Mujiao could clearly see the disdain in her eyes.

However, to the current Hua Mu Jin, filling one's stomach was the biggest matter.

"I'm just curious, is the Shang Shu Estate not going to give you food to eat?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Bai Linyu finally asked the question that was on her mind.

He swallowed the last mouthful of the pig's feet, threw away the bone and rolled his eyes at the man.

"What kind of treatment do I have in Shang Shu Manor? As someone who frequently goes in and out of Shang Shu Manor, don't tell me that you don't have any feelings for them? What are you counting for?"

He wiped the grease off his hands with a handkerchief and picked up his chopsticks to continue wolfing down the food.

Bai Ling Yu shrugged and declined to comment.

"You poor glutton, who would believe that you're the big miss of the Shang Shu Manor if word got out?"

Looking up, Hua Mu Jin rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "Who cares about the status of Eldest Miss? I can accompany you out. You should know what I want to hear. Say it, do you know where the guqin I'm looking for is? "

He didn't want to talk to a man, so he directly got to the point.

As if he knew that Hua Mu Jin would ask, Bai Ling Yu smiled and didn't answer immediately, but asked a question instead.

"May I ask why you're looking for that zither?"

Hearing this, Hua Mujie stared at the man, it was rare for her to put down her chopsticks. Only after a long time did she speak.

"All I can say is that this zither is very important to me, and it concerns my fate. If you are willing to tell me, I will listen attentively. If you just want to get something out of me, sorry, I won't tell you anything. "
