"Hahaha, what need is there to thank me for? Don't tell me you want to repay me with your own body? There's no need." Xue Luoyun waved his hand.

"If you are willing, that would be the best." Mu Zheng stared at her in excitement. Xue Ruyun saw him staring at him, and he felt that the expression in his eyes was strange, different from usual.

"He can't be serious, right?" Xue Ruyun was startled. This kind of gaze caused her to be at a loss as to what to do.

"Your majesty, look, the willow branches by the lake have actually grown so long." Xue Luoyun calmly pulled away from Mu Zheng and walked a short distance away.

Mu Zheng looked at her in disappointment as he shook his head. How could he not come up with such a lame excuse? Perhaps he had scared her too suddenly. Mu Zheng looked at the distant Xue Luoyun and said to himself, "I'll let you slowly accept this." As he spoke, he walked over. "That's right. It's been so long already."

"Your majesty, may I go to the palace to visit the crown prince?" Xue Ruyun recalled his previous promise to Mu Zhuoyun.

When Mu Zheng heard this, he felt jealous in his heart. Previously, he had heard that Xue Luoyun really liked the Crown Prince, which was why he had bestowed them with a marriage. It was just that after the Crown Prince had unbeknownst to him, the marriage had been broken for some reason, and it was said that Xue Ruoyun had been sad for a while.

When Mu Zhuoyun saw the way Mu Zhuoyun was looking at him, it seemed as if there was some hidden meaning within his gaze. Mu Zheng actually felt a bit uncomfortable inside. It couldn't be that Mu Zhuoyun still liked Mu Zhuoyun, right?

"Can I?" Seeing Mu Zheng lost in thought, Xue Ruoyun asked again with a louder voice.

"Of course, but there's one condition." Mu Zhengjin opened his mouth as he made a detour.

"What condition?"

"Every time you come to the palace to visit the crown prince, you have to visit this old friend of yours."

"Of course, it's a deal." Xue Luoyun straightforwardly agreed.

When Xue Luoyun returned from the palace, it was already close to dusk. Everyone in the Xue Manor was like ants on a hot pan; their hearts were burning with anxiety. Thinking about how much of a burden he would suffer from this time around because of Xue Ruyun, the Xue Clan would most likely wither in the future. The entire manor was sighing and sighing, but even more so, there was dissatisfaction towards Xue Muyun. Dinner was ready, but everyone had no appetite.

Xue Luoyun walked in with ease. Seeing him walk in unscathed, unscathed, he was very surprised. She slapped her chopsticks and stood up, "You little bitch, you dared to come back. You ran away early, each of you doing things on your own, and we even care about your feelings, but you still dared to come back, and you're implicating all of us.

Xue Ruyun didn't even look at her. He treated her like air and wanted to eat dinner.

"Miss, I'll go get you a bowl and chopsticks right now." Lange was happy to go to the kitchen.

"Halt." Xue Lian made a sound and Yun Zhi could only turn her head back.

"Elder sister came a bit late today. We thought you ate in the palace, so we forgot to order for an extra person to eat dinner." Xue Lian drew with a light smile.

Xue Ruyun looked at her and smiled sweetly, "I've watched this big table of food for a long time, and none of you have touched your chopsticks. If it's not to your liking, I'll eat it for you guys. " As he spoke, he sat at the spot that Xue Lian had drawn and picked up the utensils and began to eat.

"You, hehe, big sister, you're already in trouble, yet you're still eating so sweetly. You're so heartless, so short of lungs." Xue Lianhua tried her best to suppress her anger. She couldn't stop herself from trying to snatch the bowl and chopsticks away. She could only stand by the side and speak sarcastically.

"Look at how you are now. What a shame." Mrs Zhao was dissatisfied with Xue Ruyun's disregard towards her, so she pointed at him and cursed.

"I finished eating." Xue Ruyun didn't say a single word. He was too lazy to waste his breath on them, so he put down his chopsticks and was about to walk into his own courtyard.

Mrs Zhao was repeatedly hit by this and was extremely dissatisfied. She rushed forward and wanted to beat up Xue Luoyun. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Xue Luoyun didn't even turn his head around and only lightly moved a step to the left. Mrs Zhao didn't pounce and fell to the ground, like a dog eating shit. She looked really miserable. All of the servants were able to restrain their laughter, but their bodies were still trembling uncontrollably.

"This is outrageous." Xue Duan Sheng slapped the table when he saw Mrs Zhao acting in such a manner, scaring the crowd so much that they didn't dare keep quiet. Xue Duan Sheng stood up. He was just about to reprimand Duan Ling Tian, but he heard a faraway eunuch walk in with a face full of joy, and congratulated Xue Duan Sheng when he saw him.

Xue Duan Sheng was completely confused and didn't know where the happiness had come from.

Seeing Xue Duan Sheng like this, the eunuch lightly raised his orchid shaped fingers and tapped him on the shoulder. "Aiyo, you still don't know. Your eldest daughter, Xue Ruyun, has done a great service."

"Is that so?" Xue Duan Sheng's face revealed a joyous expression as he was in slight disbelief.

"That's right. A few days ago, the crown prince was assassinated. Thanks to her, the crown prince's life was saved." "Now that the truth has been revealed, the Emperor has decreed that this matter should be made known to the world, and that the Xue Residence should be heavily rewarded as well."

"This, this is great!" Returning to heaven from hell in an instant, Xue Duan Sheng didn't know how to describe his current mood. When the audience heard this, they swept through the haze and secretly rejoiced. I was secretly amazed at how capable this young miss was. I knew she wouldn't be that kind of person.

"What about your wife?" After the eunuch finished speaking, he looked at Lady Zhao, who was sprawled on the ground.

"Cough cough." Xue Duan Sheng was embarrassed for a moment, and he didn't know how to reply.

Without waiting for Xue Duan Sheng's reply, the eunuch saw Xue Lao Yun and hurriedly went forward with a flattering smile. "Congratulations, Miss Xue."

"Eunuch is being too polite." Xue Luoyun knew that she was trying to please them, so she quickly took out a gold ingot and handed it over to the eunuch. These were all given to her by the Emperor. At that time, she had said she would reward her with ten thousand taels of gold.

"Thank you for your gift, Miss Xue." Master Xue, you're so lucky. " The eunuch looked at the glittering gold in his hands, his mouth agape. This Miss Xue really was generous with her money. He didn't forget to compliment even Xue Duan Sheng.

"Not at all." Xue Duan Sheng cupped his hands together.

Mrs Zhao was supported by a few maidservants at this time. She slowly got up from the ground, dusted off her clothes, and moved closer, "May I know what the rewards that eunuch mentioned are?"

"There are a lot of them. Madam, you alone have dozens of silk cloths. The prizes bestowed by the Lord Prime Minister are even more numerous. "

"Really?" Mrs Zhao nearly fainted in joy.

"My lady, you have a good daughter." The eunuch then came to pay his respects to Madame Zhao.

Mrs Zhao embarrassedly looked at Xue Luoyun, her face full of smiles, "That is a must. I just said that this good daughter of mine will definitely bring glory to our Xue family." In front of outsiders, Madame Zhao was acting out a good show.

Xue Luoyun couldn't bear to see her like this, so she coldly laughed, "Oh, really? Weren't there people who wanted me to get out of here? They were afraid that I would implicate their entire family."
