The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

"What's all the commotion about? Take me to see it too!" Zhai Rongyu asked as he landed in the study.

"Miss Zhai!" The figure was startled by the sudden appearance of the person beside him. "You really are elusive..."

Zhai Rong chuckled and twirled her skirt as she walked up to Jun Ce.

"Have you taken care of everything for your brother?" Jun Ce asked with a smile, raising his hand to brush a fallen leaf off her clothes.

Zhai Rongyu nodded, bent down, grabbed the tea from the table, and gulped it down.

The figure's eyes widened suddenly.

That was the teacup the master just used...

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no ill feelings towards each other, he kept his eyes down and pretended not to see anything.

"Drink slowly."

Jun Ce handed over a handkerchief, which Zhai Rongyu grabbed and used to wipe the corner of her mouth.

The figure glanced at the two of them and gave them a motherly smile.

The Lord is becoming more and more adept at serving people.

They're even faster than him!

"If Miss Zhai Er wishes to see some excitement, she can go to Yanshan last year," said Zhiying.

“Suiyan Mountain?” Zhai Rongyu thought for a moment, then turned to look at Jun Ce. “Is that the mountain you sent Liu Taiqing to?”

Jun Ce nodded.

The lone figure grinned slyly, "Liu Taiqing is mining over there with the Moon Shadow Guards. It's even more lively than the mines at Gu Meng Mountain!"

Zhai Rongyu was somewhat confused, "Isn't there no mineral vein in Suiyan Mountain? What are they digging for there?"

"What a coincidence!" said the figure, slapping his thigh. "This Haimu City is truly a treasure trove. The lord randomly picked a mountain, intending to send Liu Taiqing to build a road, but who would have thought that while digging, they would actually discover a gold mine!"

"A gold mine?!"

Zhai Rongyu cried out in surprise, and the teacup slipped from her fingertips. Jun Ce caught it and gently placed it on the table.

Upon hearing the words "gold mine," the Boundless Divine Turtle in the bag popped its head out of its shell, its narrow eyes widening into beady green eyes.

It scratched at its feet, howling inside.

Take me there! Take me there now!

Zhai Rongyu lightly flicked the tortoise shell through the cloth bag. This time, the Boundless Divine Tortoise didn't dodge; its claws directly kicked her fingers out of place through the cloth bag.

Zhai Rongyu paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

[Life is short, making money is the most important thing.]

[Turtle, you're an ancient spirit beast, is it appropriate for you to be thinking about money all the time?]

The Boundless Divine Turtle snorted and bit her finger with a loud thud. The bite landed right on the patch of the cloth bag. It tugged at it, and the stitches came undone, causing the contents of the bag to clatter and fall to the ground.

Zhai Rong was shocked and reached out to cover it, but a lot still leaked out.

That was awkward...

Jun Ce bent down and picked up a piece of pastry that had rolled to his feet, raising a thick eyebrow. "This is... a pastry from yesterday's kitchen?"

Zhai Rongyu chuckled and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“I had a dream about being hungry last night, so I went to the kitchen…”

She had already tried to convince herself otherwise.

Going to sleep feeling hungry is the beginning of becoming a beauty.

But then I thought to myself, I'm already a beauty! Why would I be hungry?!

So he immediately got up and went to the kitchen in the dark to find food.

Even a second's delay would be disrespectful to her stomach.

Fearing I'd get hungry again in the middle of the night after eating, I wrapped the best-tasting piece in oil paper and put it in a cloth bag just in case.

But I forgot about it!

Jun Ce shook his head and chuckled.

Give me the bag.

Zhai Rong obediently untied the cloth bag from her waist and handed it to him.

Jun Ce took out a new cloth bag from somewhere, emptied the contents of the old bag and put them in, then turned to Zhai Rongyu and said, "Come closer."

The girl approached him, looked at the hands that were tying the cloth bag around her waist, and sighed with emotion.

[Ah Xu is becoming more and more like a male mother.]

Jun Ce: ...

Zhai Rongyu was concerned about the Nansang ban, so she told him about her plan.

Jun Ce paused in tying his knot, looked up and met the determination in her eyes. After a long pause, he said, "Okay."

He would accompany her to do whatever she wanted to do.

Even if it is fraught with danger.

Zhai Rong couldn't help but smile. Thinking about the gold mine and the excitement, she felt playful. After Jun Ce tied up the bag, she grabbed his hand and dragged him up from the chair.

"Let's go, let's go look for a gold mine."

Suiyanshan.

Liu Taiqing stared at the glittering gold vein in front of him, his pupils dilating instantly, and he almost burst out laughing.

Who would have thought that this place, which looked like a fake mineral vein, could actually contain a real gold mine!

God helps him!

Once the gunpowder veins of Gumeng Mountain are mined, along with this gold mine, wouldn't Liu Taiqing be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth of the world?!

But before he could finish enjoying himself, the love potion inside him suddenly bit a blood vessel, and he clutched his chest in pain.

what happened?

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

"Prefect Liu, why are you crying?" Fei Ying crossed his arms and glanced at him, asking teasingly.

Liu Taiqing probably doesn't know that Cang Zhihe is dead. The love potion is causing him to have the urge to commit suicide for love.

In a little while, there will be a good show to watch.

Liu Taiqing raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eye, somewhat bewildered, and sure enough, there were tears in his eyes.

what happened……

He turned to look at the cliff not far away, and for some reason felt a strong urge to jump off.

He suddenly strode towards the cliff!

"Prefect!!!" Liu Taiqing's subordinates swiftly tackled him to the ground. "What are you doing?!"

"We just struck gold, what's wrong with you thinking of jumping off a cliff?!"

"Is he so happy he's lost his mind?"

"Don't stop me!" Liu Taiqing shouted uncontrollably. His eyes were bloodshot as he let his subordinates hold him down, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

Fei Ying chuckled, then suddenly straightened his face and bowed respectfully to someone not far away, saying, "My lord."

Jun Ce landed in front of them with Zhai Rongyu.

A lone figure followed closely behind.

As soon as Zhai Rongyu's feet touched the ground, she squatted down and placed the Boundless Divine Turtle on the gold mine. The little guy immediately stretched out its limbs and excitedly spun around in place, occasionally opening its mouth to bite a hard gold nugget, its eyes almost sparkling with gold coins.

She shook her head, somewhat amused.

Straightening up, he saw Liu Taiqing pinned to the ground and knew that the love potion had taken effect. He ruthlessly added insult to injury: "Lord Liu wants to die now, but if he knew that the mine in Gu Meng Mountain was also fake, wouldn't he die on the spot?"

Liu Taiqing was struck dumb, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pushed his subordinate aside and got up.

"W-what did you say?"

"The mineral veins of Gumeng Mountain are also fake?!"

He caught a glimpse of Jun Ce's icy gaze and suddenly froze.

broken……

The regent was unaware that he was secretly seeking pleasure...

A lone figure, carrying a leaf in its mouth, swaggered up to him and tossed him a cloth bundle. "Lord Liu, take a look?"

When Liu Taiqing saw the cloth bag, it looked somewhat familiar. He opened it and found gunpowder raw materials inside. He suddenly looked up at the lone figure.

"You...you're that man in black?!"

The lone figure leisurely hummed and blew on the leaf in its mouth.

The cloth bag fell to the ground with a thud.

Liu Taiqing's lips trembled as he looked at Jun Ce with a complicated expression.

"It was you...you planned it all..."

"You tricked me into going to Mount Gumeng... The real treasure isn't there at all!"

His eyes turned fierce in an instant.
