On the other side, Liu Dali, who took a donkey cart to the princess's mansion to file a complaint, did not enter the city until nightfall.

The steamed bun in his arms was almost peeled off by his touch, but he still couldn't bear to eat it.

It was already the hour of Xu when the hungry Liu Dali walked to the gate of the princess's mansion.

The princess was serving dinner at her mansion when the guards learned that he had found a spy on the farm and quickly took him in.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Dali was attracted by the tempting aroma of food.

After entering the flower hall where the Fourth Princess had her meals, Liu Dali stared at the food on the table without blinking.

Meat...what a big piece of meat!

Oh my god! It’s so good to be a princess. I can eat meat every day!

Liu Dali swallowed his saliva and felt that he seemed to be even hungrier!

Mu Lingshuang, who had just sat at the dining table, looked at his dusty appearance and spoke in a rare friendly manner:

"You must be hungry after traveling all the way from the village. Let's eat something first."

After he finished speaking, Qin Yue, who had first-class execution ability, quickly put two steamed buns on the tray and handed it directly to Liu Dali.

Liu Dali, who was already starving, resisted the urge to drool and refused with difficulty:

"No... no need."

In order to divert attention, Liu Dali lowered his head, staring intently at his toes, and lied solemnly:

"I'm not hungry."

"Gurgle... Gurgle..." Maybe Brother Duzi couldn't stand his stubbornness, but before he could finish his words, he made a gurgling sound of protest.

Two faint blushes appeared on Liu Dali's dark face.

It's over... This is so embarrassing.

What surprised him was that no one in the princess's mansion laughed at him.

At the princess's signal, Qin Yue held the tray forward again.

"This is a gift from the Fourth Princess, so just eat it without worry. If you have any questions, we can talk after you finish eating."

Who can resist a big white steamed bun when they are hungry? Liu Dali touched his stomach, did not refuse, took the steamed bun and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

While eating, he did not forget to say thank you:

"Thank you, Fourth Princess."

Mu Lingshuang watched him wolf down his food and knew that he must have been starving during the journey. She pointed at the braised pork that Liu Dali had been eyeing since he entered the room and instructed the people around him:

"Go and take this to him."

Liu Dali, who was trying hard to swallow the steamed bun, quickly waved his hand:

"This...this is unacceptable."

He was just a rough guy, and he was already grateful for the steamed buns given by the princess. How could he possibly eat the princess's food?

Perhaps because his thoughts were too obvious, Qin Yue was also amused by his simple and honest appearance and jokingly said:

"This is a gift from the Fourth Princess, so eat it boldly."

"I thank the Fourth Princess." Liu Dali said, then looked up and carefully observed the Fourth Princess's expression. He then asked cautiously, "Can I take this dish back with me? My mother is sick, and I want to leave it for her."

After Liu Dali finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head. He was even prepared to be rejected.

In fact, after he said it, he felt that his words were a bit too much, but he did not regret it.

His mother had been ill for several days and was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Maybe if mom eats some meat her disease will be cured?

Liu Dali lowered his head and his eyes were red. It was because he had no ability and no money to buy medicine for his mother.

I don't know what my mother's illness is...

The sadness was not over yet, when suddenly a cold and pleasant voice sounded:

"Okay, when you leave, ask Qin Yue to find a doctor for you to go back with you."

The voice was so pleasant that Liu Dali even thought he was dreaming for a moment.

However, Liu Dali quickly reacted and knelt down to express his gratitude:

"Thank you, Fourth Princess."

Liu Dali's voice was a little choked. He didn't expect the Fourth Princess to be so kind. She not only gave him food, but also asked the doctor to treat his mother's illness.

I had only heard about the Fourth Princess before, but after meeting her today, I realized that she is even better than the rumors say.

Those who say that the Fourth Princess is a bad person are definitely not good people. After just one look, Liu Dali firmly believes that the Fourth Princess is the best person in the world.

Mu Lingshuang raised her hand, motioning him to stand up. Seeing that the two steamed buns in his hand had been eaten, she spoke:

"The guards said you discovered a spy."

"Yes!" Liu Dali nodded hurriedly.

He was no longer so hungry and there was hope for his mother's recovery. Liu Dali became more energetic. Upon hearing the Fourth Princess' question, he hurriedly told her everything Fang Yuanqi had done today and his suspicions about her.

Mu Lingshuang listened quietly until Liu Dali's mouth was dry. Then Mu Lingshuang frowned and asked:

"What are these potatoes you're talking about?"

Hearing the Fourth Princess' question, Liu Dali, who had been prepared for this, hurriedly took out from his arms the half-eaten small potato that he had secretly dug out from the ground in the Princess's Mansion, and carefully placed it on the table filled with delicacies, and said respectfully:

"Princess Four, please look."

While Mu Lingshuang was looking at the potato, Liu Dali added:

"This is unheard of, and Mr. Fang's behavior is very strange. I think he is very likely a spy."

Mu Lingshuang had suspected more than once whether Fang Yuanqi was a spy.

She had encountered countless spies, but she had never seen anyone as stupid and cowardly as Fang Yuanqi.

I originally planned to keep her by my side and monitor her personally to see what she was planning.

But that guy was too noisy and howled too much. It just so happened that she said she had a way to increase crop yields, so Mu Lingshuang decided to give her a chance.

As long as she can truly increase the crop yield, even if she is a spy, as long as she doesn't do anything harmful to the world, I can forgive her once.

These things cannot be said openly for the time being, so Mu Lingshuang can only cover up for Fang Yuanqi, who is not sure whether he is a spy or not.

"I know this person. Although he seems a little strange, he's probably not a spy."

"But..." His guess was directly denied. Liu Dali wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Lingshuang. "But... you did a good job today. I will reward you with two baskets of steamed buns. After you go back, continue to keep an eye on her for any unusual movements."

Liu Dali was stunned. Continue to pay attention?

Doesn’t that mean that the Fourth Princess is also a little suspicious?

Thinking of this, Liu Dali instantly became excited.

"Yes!" Liu Dali responded, hugged Mantou, and left happily with the princess's doctor.

Mu Lingshuang sat on the chair, squinting her eyes, looking in the direction where Liu Dali left, wondering what she was thinking.

The maid behind her brought clean water and helped her wash her hands before leaving.

After this incident, Qin Yue also became a little curious. Looking at the Fourth Princess eating slowly, she couldn't help but ask:

"Princess, that Mr. Fang..."

Mu Lingshuang sighed and shook her head.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

"Yes!" Qin Yue responded, not daring to say anything more.
