Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

"Mu Jiaojiao, if you can't speak properly, then shut up." Mu Xue thought this woman might be seriously ill.

"Sister, I was just worried about you. How could you lay a hand on Brother Mo?" Mu Jiaojiao's face was full of hurt.

Mu Xue thought that Mu Jiaojiao was really good at acting. She didn't fall for it, but it was obvious that some people did.

"Mu Xue, I've already told you, I won't marry you, and don't bother me anymore. Don't you understand?" Mo Shijie felt heartbroken seeing Mu Jiaojiao suffer.

"Ha, Prince Mo, don't you think too highly of yourself? When did I ever say I wanted to marry you? Are you even worthy?" Mu Xue didn't want to argue with these two anymore.

"You, fine. Very fine. Mu Xue, remember what you said today. Our engagement is off!" Mo Shijie said angrily without thinking.

Hearing Mo Shijie's words, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but cheer in her heart, but she still had to show shock on her face: "Brother Mo, you can't cancel the engagement, otherwise my sister will be very sad."

"Jiaojiao, stop speaking up for her. She doesn't deserve your kindness," Mo Shijie gently comforted Mu Jiaojiao.

"Brother Mo, your engagement with my sister was arranged by our elders. You can't treat my sister like this." Mu Jiaojiao was always trying to show her kindness.

"I'm determined to call off this engagement," Mo Shijie said firmly.

"Hey, do you two remember that the other party involved was also here?" Mu Xue teased.

Mo Shijie and Mu Jiaojiao both turned to look at her at the same time, in perfect unison.

"Mu Xue, your tactic of playing hard to get won't work on me. Don't waste your time." Mo Shijie arrogantly raised his chin.

"Excuse me, which eye of yours saw that I was playing hard to get?" Mu Xue was already getting a little impatient.

"Sister, stop being so stubborn. Apologize to Brother Mo and Rou Rou. Don't keep putting on a brave face," Mu Jiaojiao said, seemingly trying to persuade her.

"I've already said it, my mother only gave birth to one daughter, me. I don't have a younger sister." Mu Xue looked at Mu Jiaojiao with amusement.

"Sister..." Mu Jiaojiao's tears came without warning.

Mo Shijie couldn't bear to see Mu Jiaojiao being bullied, so he stepped forward and blocked her, not noticing the smugness hidden on her face.

"Enough, Mu Xue, how could you be so vicious? Jiao Jiao is doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful." Mo Shijie scolded angrily.

"I advise you to rephrase your words and say them again." Mu Xue was really annoyed; why was this Mo Shizi everywhere?

"You, Mu Xue, I'm telling you what to do, but you won't listen. You'll become the laughingstock of Xiyu Kingdom!" Mo Shijie was so angry that he tried to pull Mu Jiaojiao away, but before he could even touch her, Mu Jiaojiao had already taken a step ahead of Mu Xue.

As she tried to take Mu Xue's hand, she said, "Sister..."

Before she could even utter the words "sister," a "pia" sound rang out, and Mu Jiaojiao screamed as she fell backward.

"Mu Xue, you!" Mo Shijie quickly stepped forward, helped Mu Jiaojiao up, and then turned to glare angrily at Mu Xue and shouted.

"Me? What about me? What can you do to me?" Mu Xue thought for a long time before finally hitting Mu Jiaojiao, and felt relieved.

This woman is so indecisive, and she even wants to hold my hand? Humph, dream on!

"You vicious woman." Mo Shijie protected Mu Jiaojiao, his face full of heartache.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone offer their face up to me so I can hit them," Mu Xue said gloatingly.

"Brother Mo, Jiaojiao is fine, as long as sister isn't angry!" Mu Jiaojiao said in a sharp, aggrieved voice.

"Jiaojiao, let's go!" Mo Shijie also had many thoughts about Mu Xue's changes.

He now needs to go back and discuss countermeasures with his father; it seems the previous plans will need to be reconsidered.

"Take care, don't bother seeing me out." Mu Xue smiled indifferently.

Mu Jiaojiao glared at Mu Xue secretly, and seeing that Mo Shijie had already walked out, she hurriedly followed. The other two young masters from noble families who were traveling with her exchanged a glance and followed after everyone had left.

Only Jiang Xirou said fiercely before leaving, "You idiot, you just wait."

Mu Xue waved her hand impatiently: "Wait, I'm waiting. Master has already left, why don't you hurry up and catch up?"

"You!" Jiang Xirou wanted to point, but then remembered what had just happened, "Hmph!" and chased after them with her maid.

"Miss, you scared me to death! I thought Young Master Mo was going to stand up for Sixth Miss," Su Su said, letting out a long sigh of relief and patting her chest.

"Don't worry, him? Hehe." Mu Xue didn't finish her sentence.

I'm afraid Mo Shijie has feelings for Mu Jiaojiao, but it's definitely not a deep, unrequited love. His expression before he left was quite intriguing!

Mu Xue turned to the waiter and said, "Lead the way, I'm starving."

"Yes, yes, this way please, miss." The waiter had just experienced a thrilling event.

That ancestor really showed no mercy, he was ruthless! It hurt him to watch.

At this moment, in the easternmost private room on the third floor, sat two elegantly dressed men.

A silver-robed man leaning against the door frame was idly fanning himself with a feng shui fan. He had his hair tied up with a jade crown, red lips, and white teeth, and a pair of attractive dimples when he smiled. After watching the farce downstairs, he turned and sat down opposite another man in a black and gold brocade robe: "Little Yuanyuan, I didn't expect the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to be such a grand spectacle!" This silver-robed man was none other than Shen Ji, the young master of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion.

The man called Xiao Yuanyuan is none other than the current emperor's uncle, the regent, Ye Shangyuan.

Ye Shangyuan didn't even glance at Shen Ji: "I'm really bored." After saying that, he poured himself a glass of wine and savored it.

Shen Ji looked at him resentfully: "Who am I doing this for? I'm just worried you'll get sick from being alone in the manor." He then snatched the wine cup from his hand: "Little Jiu Jiu said you're not going to drink a drop for a while. Forgot?"

"Xiao Yuan..." Before Shen Ji could finish calling out, Ye Shangyuan picked up another wine cup and threw it at Shen Ji's face. Shen Ji suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Wow! You're serious! A fine white jade wine cup costs a hundred taels!"

Shen Ji looked at the white jade wine cup, which had been shattered into several pieces, with heartache.

“Yoruichi,” the man in the brocade robe said.

A tall figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Shangyuan, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head to receive orders.

"Bring him the set of white jade and glass cups that I brought back from Nanyue." Ye Shangyuan felt a headache coming on when he saw Shen Ji's money-grubbing attitude.

He rubbed his throbbing head.

"A headache again?" Seeing Ye Shangyuan's actions, Shen Ji stopped joking around.

"It's alright." Ye Shangyuan waved his hand, stopping Shen Ji from stepping forward.

"How about we give you one of the medicine Xiao Jiujiu gave you?" Shen Ji asked hesitantly.

Lin Jiu, the successor of the Immortal Doctor Valley, is also a close friend of Ye Shangyuan and his companions.

"It's alright." Ye Shangyuan did not take out the medicine Lin Jiu had given him.

"Sigh, I wonder if Lin Jiu will be able to find that old doctor in Nan Yue this time. If he does, your headache can be cured," Shen Ji said with some worry.

"There are not many ancient doctors left in the world. It is already difficult enough to be suppressed by the Valley of the Immortal Physicians. Why ask for too much?" Ye Shangyuan said with self-deprecation.

From a young age, he knew that his headache was caused by poison, not an illness. But who would poison a baby like him? The answer is obvious.

He was a child who was not expected to be born.

Or perhaps he was a child whose birth was not desired by his mother.

He was only able to have the Medicine Immortal Valley suppress the poison because of the favor of his father and elder brother. However, in recent years, the Medicine Immortal Valley has become increasingly powerless. Therefore, the old valley master searched through ancient books and finally found a glimmer of hope in the secret manual left by the ancient medical sect.

Ancient medical practices have disappeared for a century, and hope is fading.

"We'll definitely find the old doctor. Don't worry, Yuanyuan." Shen Ji couldn't bear to see his friend so despondent. That once brilliant and charismatic man shouldn't have become someone who relies on medicine to stay alive.
