He wholeheartedly wanted nothing in return. However, he had never thought of the kind of energy that would erupt when a person's hope was suddenly cut off. Even if that retard was willing to give the refugees a silver coin, they would definitely not ask anything of her, a woman who had just become an imperial concubine.

But no matter what, Mu Ru Yue was currently really happy. Who wouldn't be happy about being able to take advantage of the situation?

The Seventh Marquis Mansion wasn't too far away from the Southern District. Soon, the three carriages reached the border of the Southern District. There was a stone tablet here with the word "Desolation" written on it. It was as if they were telling everyone that this place had been abandoned.

Once they entered this place, even if they were people of this place, they would be despised by the entire Ling-Yue Empire.

Mu Ru Yue and the others got off the carriage and saw a broken wall. Inside the wall, there were many thatched huts and some people were lying on the road outside. There was a mat underneath them. This could be considered as their resting place.

Because of the current state of the south of the city, everyone was very nervous. Occasionally, they would meet two people who were better dressed, and they would all want to go up and ask them. What was she doing here? This time was no exception.

As the princess consort, Mu Ru Yue's eating habits naturally wouldn't be poor. After all, she was the only true mistress of the manor. As a result, she was surrounded by a group of people the moment she appeared. In their eyes, there was an obvious greed.

Mu Ru Yue didn't panic and just looked calmly at Xiao Bai beside her, "Xiao Bai, is this what you meant by wanting to talk to me? "Why does it look like he's going to snatch me away?"

"How could that be? You misunderstand." Little White said, blocked in front of them and said angrily, "What are you doing? This young lady is someone our Big Sister Ling Xi has hired. If you continue to behave like this, aren't you afraid that Big Sister will blame you? "

The name of Ling Xi had great influence in this abandoned land. The people who had been trying to keep Mu Ru Yue here instantly disappeared. Mu Ru Yue looked at Xiao Bai in surprise. When this girl was in front of her, she wanted to be subservient and submissive, but after coming here, she had become a bit more unyielding.

"Princess, you can only be a bit tough with us, or you'll be bullied." Lil 'White said and gestured to invite him in.

Mu Ru Yue agreed and left with Xiao Bai. She looked at Xing`er, who seemed to have some lingering fear behind him, and lightly held her back. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."

Xing'er nodded, but deep in her heart, she felt a deep shadow weighing down on her. His young mistress had suffered a lot when she came here last time. She said that she would never come back, but … In the end, he still came here.

Xing'er's heart ached.

On the other hand, Mu Ru Yue was thinking about that Ling Xi. I'm afraid that the south of the city is not as people think. Every place here has its own rules. As for Little White, he was the subordinate of the woman called Ling Xi whom he had just spoken of.

That person called Ling Xi was the one who truly wanted to talk to her. Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Mu Ru Yue's face. In this dynasty, it was truly rare for a woman to be able to make a decision.

However, this was sufficient to show that this woman called Ling Xi was not easy to deal with.

Xiao Bai and Mu Ru Yue walked for about a quarter of an hour. On the way, Mu Ru Yue met many refugees that were looking at her, as well as many people that were collecting land deeds. These people looked like they had gone mad and were on the verge of losing it.

I'm afraid this place is not far from being demolished.

Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue's expectations for him deepened.

The three of them walked in silence until they arrived at the northern district of the southern part of the city. Xiao Bai heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Murong Yue and said, "Royal Consort, let's go in. Elder Sister Ling Xi is waiting for you in this house. She said that our North District is a mess and not suitable for nobles like you to talk to. "

"Oh? I must thank her for her understanding. " Mu Ru Yue followed Xiao Bai and walked into the entire north and south district. It was the only place that could be called a house. Walking in, it was very simple.

This was a room with only a hall. A screen was placed on the front door of the room, and one could vaguely see a figure behind it. That should be Ling Xi, right? As Mu Ru Yue was thinking, she heard Xiao Bai say respectfully, "Elder Sister Ling Xi, Xiao Bai has already invited the wangfei to come."

Very soon, a pleasant voice was heard from inside. "I wonder if esteemed wangfei can come in for a chat?"

Go in?

Mu Ru Yue raised her brows as she walked in.

"Miss." Xing'er grabbed her sleeve in worry.

"Don't worry, since this Miss Ling Xi has invited me here, she definitely won't let anything happen to me." As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she pulled Xing'er's hand away and went behind the screen.

When Mu Ru Yue saw Ling Long, she was slightly shocked. This was because this woman was not as beautiful as she thought. She looked ordinary, even a bit gentle.

Ling Xi bowed. "Ling Xi pays her respects to the wangfei."

"Miss, please get up. Since I've come today, it means that I don't care about these vulgar etiquette." Mu Ru Yue said calmly.

That was true. After all, no one would believe it if someone from the refugee zone asked for a wangfei to come out and visit.

Ling Xi looked gratefully at Murong Yue before saying, "Since wangfei is willing to come, can you confirm that wangfei has agreed to help us?"

"This will depend on whether Miss Ling Xi has prepared the items that I want." As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she found a seat and sat down. Negotiations were something that couldn't be rushed. At least, she didn't need to worry.

The one who was forced into a corner was Ling Xi, not her, Murong Yue.

Seeing Mu Ru Yue's relaxed appearance, Ling Xi sighed inwardly. With a helpless smile, she said, "Royal Consort is truly a powerful person. Ling Xi admired him from the bottom of her heart. Although Ling Xi couldn't represent the entire southern part of the city, at the very least, the northern part of the city was under Ling Xi's jurisdiction. The people here have also entrusted their lives to me. "As long as Princess doesn't push it too far, we are naturally willing to give you the land deed."

"That's easy. What those people want are no more than deeds. The deeds are in my hands. If they don't dare to find me, that's fine, but if they do? " Mu Ru Yue smiled.

She really hoped that retard would be willing to go and find her.

"Princess is such a straightforward person." As Ling Xi spoke, she bowed once more in gratitude. In the past few days, she'd thought of resisting, and even thought of selling the land deed. Available... Those people were like real bandits.

None of them wanted to take over, none of them wanted to pay. They could only watch helplessly as the people here were exploited. Gradually, she understood a principle. She was respected here, but to those in the south of the city, she was just a piece of trash left behind.

Those people outside, even standing with her, felt disgusted.

She was still inferior to him.
