Feng Hengzhi's outstretched hand slowly landed on Sang Luan's head.

Sang Luan paused involuntarily, her body shrinking back slightly.

She already had a deep-seated fear of Feng Hengzhi's advances.

She always felt that the other person would easily choke her if they made a move.

Feng Hengzhi pointed to Sang Luan's shoulder, his voice hoarse, "There's a bug there."

"Then hurry up and help me take it down!"

Sang Luan turned slightly to the side, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a green worm slowly wriggling on her shoulder.

She froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

Seeing that she was indeed afraid, Feng Hengzhi decisively reached out and flicked the green worm off Sang Luan's shoulder with a single finger.

Sang Luan breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly enveloped Feng Hengzhi's palm.

She looked up at the sky and realized that, without her noticing, the sky was no longer as bright as before.

She stood up, craned her neck to look ahead, and muttered to herself, "Logically, this person should have arrived by now, why hasn't he come yet?"

Sang Luan's gaze involuntarily drifted to the sea of ​​flowers beside her; those roses and wild roses were truly eye-catching.

Each one is blooming so beautifully; such flowers would surely make a wonderful lip balm.

If it weren't for Feng Hengzhi being here, she would have razed this place to the ground.

Feng Hengzhi squinted and looked up at Sang Luan.

Suddenly, Feng Hengzhi's eyes sharpened, and he assumed a defensive posture.

He looked warily behind Sang Luan.

Sang Luan followed his gaze and immediately saw a blue snake not far away, its body raised high and its tongue flicking at her.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked delighted.

Feng Hengzhi took a pebble from the side, prepared himself, and was about to throw it.

Realizing his movement, Sang Luan suddenly spoke up, "Don't hurt him, it's not poisonous."

The next moment, Feng Hengzhi actually looked at Sang Luan and turned to the green snake, bowing his head and saying something.

The green snake seemed to understand what Sang Luan said, and slowly left the place.

Feng Hengzhi looked at Sang Luan with a complicated expression. "You can communicate with it?"

Sang Luan smiled and said, "Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Feng Hengzhi turned his head to the side; it was the first time he had ever heard a woman say that a snake was beautiful.

Sang Luan shrugged, and only after seeing that the green snake had disappeared did she silently sit down next to Feng Hengzhi.

She glanced sideways at Feng Hengzhi beside her, then silently looked away.

She hugged herself and subtly moved to the side.

It's best to keep a safe distance from Feng Hengzhi.

Sang Luan kept observing Feng Hengzhi's expression, and his lips gradually changed color.

Just as she was wondering whether Feng Hengzhi would die here today, she finally heard a little noise.

She turned slightly to the side, leaning forward unconsciously, and listened intently, holding her breath.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

There was definitely a sound!

The help is coming!

She looked at Feng Hengzhi excitedly, "Brother Hengzhi, that's great, you're saved!"

This is the only pawnshop in the area.

Mu Xiang leaned closer to Konoha, her voice unconsciously lowering, "You'll come in with me later, but once inside, you just need to look, don't say a word."

She paused, then added, "Also, you must write down every single word I'm about to say. That will be your job from now on."

Konoha listened intently, then nodded slightly.

Soon, the two entered the pawnshop.

Mu Xiang stared straight ahead without looking to the side. After entering the pawnshop, she went straight to the shopkeeper.

She placed her hands on the table, then slowly pulled out something she had prepared beforehand from her sleeves.

After a stick of incense.

Mu Xiang weighed the heavy silver in her hand, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.

"Have you memorized all the steps just now?"

Mu Xiang gave a soft "hmm," her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

Mu Xiang, with a look of "you're a promising student," casually took out a small piece of silver from her purse and handed it to Mu Ye, saying, "This is for you. Keep it and don't say a word about it to the Crown Princess when you get back."

Konoha's gaze fell on the silver fragment in Konoha's hand.

The silver coins were small, and lying in Mu Xiang's hand, they even looked exceptionally delicate.

But for Konoha, the pieces of silver before them held extraordinary significance.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant to take it, Mu Xiang's expression changed, and a hint of dissatisfaction was already showing in her eyes. "What? You don't want it?"

Konoha reacted instantly and quickly took it, a perfectly timed smile on her face. "Then thank you, Sister Konoha."

"You're welcome. You know what to say and what not to say." Mu Xiang had a faint smile on her lips. "As for how to answer the Crown Princess, I don't need to teach you, do I?"

Konoha was silent for a moment, then his eyes flickered slightly. "No need."

Mu Xiang's smile deepened, and she patted Mu Ye's shoulder. "That's right. Just follow me, and I won't skimp on your benefits. The Crown Princess doesn't even know the exact amount of these things she sold, so it's fine if we take out a little less."

Immediately afterwards, the two returned to the Crown Princess.

Throughout the journey, Konoha kept his head down and remained silent.

Inside the Yunyan Pavilion of the Prince's Residence.

Mu Xiang lowered her head, stepped forward, and silently placed the money bag in her hand on the table. "Princess Consort, this is what we bought today."

Meng Youning lowered her eyes and looked at the money pouch on the table. She picked it up and examined it, nodding with satisfaction. "Not bad today."

Then she took out two pieces of silver and handed them to Muxiang and Muye respectively.

The two accepted the gift and bowed respectfully to Meng Youning.

Meng Youning casually put the money pouch down and waved to Konoha beside her, "You stay and serve."

Soon, only Meng Youning and Mu Ye remained in the room.

Konoha served Meng Youning respectfully.

When Meng Youning coughed, she handed her a handkerchief; when Meng Youning glanced at her, she handed her tea.

She made a few slight murmurs.

After Meng Youning finished counting the money and carefully put it away, she turned slightly to the side and glanced casually at Mu Ye beside her. "Do you have something to say?"

Konoha lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth, and was very conflicted.

Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she paused and slowly put down the teacup in her hand.

The next moment, she suddenly knelt down, and with a flick of her wrist, two pieces of silver appeared in her hand. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and silently placed them beside Meng Youning.

Meng Youning glanced at the two pieces of silver on the table without changing her expression, her eyebrows slightly raised, "What are you doing?"
