The cold wind blew on her body, making her shiver subconsciously.

She turned to look at the person who came, and it turned out to be the guard following the city lord.

She asked happily, "Mo Qing, did the City Lord ask you to take me back? I've always been the one taking care of him personally. He can't live without me, right?"

A complicated look flashed across Mo Qing's face. He couldn't understand why Furong had become like this. Did she really still have improper thoughts about the City Lord?

He said indifferently: "The City Lord ordered me to take you back to the Princess's Mansion!"

Furong's heart started pounding when she saw his serious expression.

She suddenly had a bad feeling, and she subconsciously grabbed Mo Qing's sleeve and asked, "Mo Qing, tell me the truth, why did you come here?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Mo Qing would still conceal the truth, she couldn't help but play the sympathy card. She sobbed aggrievedly: "Mo Qing, we came to the city lord together. You can't take sides with outsiders. No matter what happens, you should tell me the truth!"

Mo Qing was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Furong, you shouldn't be delusional. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? For the sake of our friendship, I will help you fulfill them!"

Just one sentence made Furong burst into tears.

She knew that Mo Lingyue had discovered what she had done, and he wanted her life!

Almost subconsciously, she spoke, "Mo Qing, please let me go. I beg you. When I was in the City Lord's Mansion, I treated you well. Whenever I had something delicious, I would send you a portion first. Are you really so cruel as to take me away?"

Mo Qingyan said in a deep voice: "I will not betray the city lord, please don't make things difficult for me!"

Furong sneered, "So all men are so cruel and heartless. If you have the guts, just kill me. I will never go back to the City Lord's Mansion with you obediently!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran away quickly.

Mo Qing frowned, jumped up and appeared in front of her, and knocked her unconscious.

Furong was awakened by the cold water. When she opened her eyes, she met Mo Lingyue's sharp eyes.

She sobbed tremblingly: "My lord, you have wronged me. I really didn't do anything!"

Mo Lingyue asked in a deep voice, "Furong, when you were sent to the manor, didn't I tell you that this wouldn't happen again?"

Furong knelt at his feet and begged, "Sir, I have followed your instructions and have always been very obedient on the farm. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the head of the farm!"

Mo Lingyue couldn't help but sneer, "Are you obedient? If you were truly obedient, why would you go to the pharmacy to buy expensive musk powder in an attempt to murder Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Furong flatly denied it: "I didn't do that. Please, my lord, please investigate!"

Mo Lingyue said disappointedly, "It seems that unless I put the evidence in front of you, you won't admit it at all!"

He ordered the owner of the city's pharmacy to be brought in, and he pointed directly at her: "Reporting to the City Lord, it was Miss Furong who bought a lot of musk powder. I remember it clearly!"

When Furong heard this, she immediately looked desperate.

After a moment, she trembled and sobbed, "Yes, I was blinded by greed for a moment. My lord, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"

Now that the evidence is irrefutable, she cannot deny it.

She could only beg Mo Lingyue for forgiveness in order to save her life.

However, Mo Lingyue turned a deaf ear.

He said ruthlessly: "Come here, drag her away and beat her to death with a stick, as a warning to others!"

Furong's whole body trembled violently. She didn't expect that Mo Lingyue would actually want her life.

She thought that based on their past affection, he would at most let her suffer physical pain, so how could he let her die?

Before she could figure it out, Mo Qing dragged her out.

She cried out in a shrill voice: "Sir, how can you be so cruel? Furong was loyal to you and considerate when she was in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if I was wrong, I don't deserve to die!"

Mo Lingyue's face was cold and ugly, and he felt extremely guilty.

If Furong had been charged with a serious crime from the beginning, she would never have had the chance to murder Her Royal Highness the Princess.

After all, he was still too indecisive!

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess was alert, and he would be held responsible if anything went wrong with her body.

Thinking of this, he scolded: "Shut her mouth! Don't let her make any more noise!"

Mo Qing stuffed a rag into her mouth, and she could no longer shout.

Just when she was beating with a big stick and her consciousness was confused, she saw Princess Youyi walking towards her gracefully.

She was wearing a bright yellow brocade dress, which made her look even more wealthy.

Furong was so angry that blood filled her throat, and her eyes seemed to be spewing out anger.

Princess Youyi stared down at her condescendingly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you use dirty tricks to murder me?"

Furong clenched her fists tightly, and the blood surging in her throat had completely drowned the rag blocking her mouth.

Princess Youyi spoke slowly: "Do you have something to say?"

Furong blinked hard, as if in response to her words.

Princess Youyi ordered the restraints to be removed from her mouth, and she cursed hoarsely, "You are so cruel, you will never have a good end. I am a loyal servant serving the city lord. You have wrongly accused me, and it will chill the hearts of everyone in the palace!"

Princess Youyi teased, "Do you think the loyal servants in the City Lord's Mansion will listen to your instigation? They are not as ambitious as you, trying to get their hands on the City Lord. You really are overestimating your own abilities!"

Furong retorted, "What are you relying on? You're just relying on your status as a princess to suppress him. Do you think he really likes you?"

Princess Youyi was stunned. Indeed, Mo Lingyue really disliked her!

Noticing her silence, Furong became even more arrogant.

She sarcastically said, "Princess, besides being of a higher status than me, isn't it also true that you can't win his heart?"

Before Princess Youyi could say anything, a firm voice suddenly rang out from not far away: "Nonsense, who said I don't like Her Highness?"

Mo Lingyue walked over quickly, his handsome face filled with anger.

Furong said anxiously, "My lord, please don't put yourself in a difficult position. I know you agreed to this marriage out of necessity. You originally came to the capital to marry Lin Xiaoruan!"

Mo Lingyue frowned and looked at Mo Qing: "Why don't you just beat her to death right away? What are you hesitating about?"

Mo Qing quickly agreed, and when the big stick in his hand fell again, he increased his strength.

Furong died without even a scream.

Mo Lingyue then explained to Princess Youyi: "Your Highness, don't take what she said to heart. I actually like you!"

Princess Youyi reached out and touched her belly and said, "Don't panic. Now I only care about the child in my belly. You are his father, and I am his mother!"

How could Mo Lingyue not understand the meaning of her words, which was that nothing else mattered.

She doesn't care whether he likes her or not!
