"Your Majesty, is there anything else you want to say to Xiangrong?"

Although Yu Xiangrong is a cute and innocent girl, she is not stupid.

She came to the newspaper office today with a mission!

Early in the morning, Zhang Xiaoyu went to the Duke of Huguo's mansion and told her a lot. Some of her words made her blush, but she understood the general idea: guard against Murong Xi at all costs!

So, she came…

Initially, based on Zhang Xiaoyu's description, Murong Xi's image in Yu Xiangrong's mind became extremely negative. However, after spending a short time with her, Yu Xiangrong surprisingly found that she was a very nice person...

At this moment, Yu Xiangrong was conflicted. She wondered if this was a fake image that Murong Xi was deliberately putting on in front of Jing Zhe. Now that it was just the two of them, would her face look different?

Is she really as terrible as Zhang Xiaoyu described? Or is she the same as what she sees now?

“Xiangrong, as you know, our Yueyao Kingdom has reached a cooperation agreement with your An Kingdom. When I return to Yueyao Kingdom, I will also open a newspaper like yours. I spent a long time in the newspaper office yesterday. Actually, the newspaper model is not complicated. I think I understand it roughly. But the most important thing about a newspaper is its content.”

Murong Xi recounted the story in detail, and Yu Xiangrong nodded gently.

"Especially the entertainment section of the newspaper, that's the key to attracting everyone to read the newspaper. Even I couldn't put it down after reading the story of Dream of the Red Chamber, let alone ordinary people!"

Yu Xiangrong nodded again, but in her heart she thought, "This kind of Murong Xi doesn't seem so bad!"

"Xiangrong, so I'd like to take your newspaper back and print the story of Dream of the Red Chamber in our newspaper as well. What do you say? Of course, our Yueyao Kingdom can pay you a large sum of money as a purchase of this story, and the author's name will still be listed as Xiangrong!"

Murong Xi said sincerely.

She had this idea since she read the story of Dream of the Red Chamber yesterday, and seeing Yu Xiangrong writing it just now strengthened her resolve, so she spoke it aloud.

Yu Xiangrong was stunned after hearing this. She hadn't expected Murong Xi to discuss this kind of issue with her, and more importantly—her opinion didn't even count! Murong Xi was really overestimating her!

So she blushed a little and said, "Your Majesty, what you're saying sounds wonderful! Since it's a written story, naturally the more people who hear it, the better!"

"Xiangrong, you agreed?"

Murong Xi was overjoyed, but Yu Xiangrong shook her head: "Empress, even if I agree, it won't work! This story belongs to the young master, and I'm just writing it on his behalf. How can I make the decision? So you still need to discuss this with the young master. As long as he agrees, there won't be any problem!"

Murong Xi disagreed, shaking her head and saying, "Xiangrong, I think you can make the decision on this matter!"

Before Xiangrong could speak, she continued, "Xiangrong, isn't he your man?"

"Um…"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Xiangrong's face flushed red instantly, but she still agreed.

She was the woman he loved, and he was the man she loved; he was her... man!

This seems to be no problem, Yu Xiangrong thought, her heart filled with joy.

"Since he is your man, and you wrote the story of Dream of the Red Chamber yourself, then your word is law!"

"..."

Murong Xi spoke with great conviction, but after listening to him, Yu Xiangrong found some of his points to be true and was speechless.

At this moment, Murong Xi seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Xiangrong, do you know that Miss Zhang from Wenxiangju?"

Yu Xiangrong nodded and said, "Yes, I know her. That's Sister Xiaoyu. She's a very nice person."

"She's one of his women, just like you, isn't she?"

"Um."

"Then why don't you call him 'Young Master' like she does?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangrong was visibly taken aback. After regaining her composure, she replied, "Sister Xiaoyu calls me 'Young Master' just like me!"

Indeed, like Yu Xiangrong, Zhang Xiaoyu had always called Jing Zhe "Young Master." However, after Zhang Xiaoyu officially became Jing Zhe's woman the night before last, she started calling him "Husband." But Yu Xiangrong stayed at home yesterday organizing the manuscript of the Dream of the Red Chamber story and did not go out, so she was unaware that Zhang Xiaoyu and Jing Zhe had taken their relationship to the next level.

"No way! I saw Miss Zhang yesterday, and she kept calling him 'husband'! They even went home together last night, and Miss Zhang didn't return until early the next morning!"

"..."

Since taking over Wenxiangju, Zhang Xiaoyu has rarely gone home. Most of the time, she sleeps upstairs after finishing her work at night. When she goes home with Jing Zhe at night, it's definitely not to the Zhang family's house; it can only be…

Could it be that they've already...? Otherwise, why would they call him "husband"?

At this moment, Yu Xiangrong felt a mix of emotions. Zhang Xiaoyu had asked her to call her "elder sister" from now on, but she hadn't agreed. She never expected that Zhang Xiaoyu would actually be one step ahead of her!

Then she remembered that when she came to her house to find her this morning, she talked about those kinds of things between men and women so naturally. She was blushing and surprised at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she realizes that's how it is!

She became Jing Zhe's "real woman," which is why she dared to talk about those things so openly!

"I see..."

Yu Xiangrong calmly replied, "That Sister Xiaoyu is a bit different from me. She is indeed the young master's woman, and calling him 'husband' is no problem for her, but I can't..."

In Yu Xiangrong's view, only when they truly reach the final step can they address each other as "husband and wife," and clearly, she is not yet ready for that.

Could it be...?

Murong Xi seemed to suddenly realize something: "Those two have already... you haven't... yet?"

Yu Xiangrong didn't shy away from the truth and said earnestly, "Yes, I like you, young master, I've always liked you. I want to give you my most precious thing at the right time!"

"..."

Murong Xi paused for a moment, then said, "But everyone else around you has become his woman. Don't you feel envious, or... jealous?"

Yu Xiangrong smiled gently: "I do envy Sister Xiaoyu a little! But I'm happy for her too! We're all the same, we all like Young Master, and we all hope that Young Master will be even better. I envy Sister Xiaoyu because I envy that one day her wish has come true!"

Sister Xiaoyu likes the young master more than any of us, and she's always been insecure about herself. Now she's finally had the courage to become his woman, and I'm so happy for her!

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "It turns out that Sister Xiaoyu also discussed with me the idea of ​​me calling her 'sister' from now on, but I didn't agree. I felt that I would definitely marry the young master before her."

Now that things are like this, I'll really have to call her "older sister" from now on! But it doesn't matter, I'm already used to calling Xiaoyu "older sister"!

"..."
