An imperial decree arrived from the palace, inviting the Empress Dowager to her birthday banquet. Liu Yue's name was among those invited.

For some reason, Old Master Jun felt that this trip to the palace was somewhat unusual.

I even had a bad feeling.

Although the capital city appears calm on the surface, undercurrents are actually surging beneath.

After Mu Shen was injured in the explosion, the Mu family remained quiet for a while, but Jun Wuchen always felt that things were not so simple.

"Heh, does that old bastard Mu Nan think he can get the Emperor to eliminate the Jun family?" Old Master Jun sneered.

"However, this trip to the palace is probably inseparable from Yue'er's engagement." Old Master Jun frowned, because the Jun family had suffered countless humiliations because of this engagement.

But Grandpa Jun endured it all for the sake of his granddaughter's happiness.

"Grandpa, who said that Sikong Yu wanted to break off the engagement with me? Couldn't it be that I wanted to break off the engagement with Sikong Yu?"

Just then, a girl's clear voice rang out, and a girl in a scarlet dress strode over, her voice full of arrogance and unrestrainedness.

"Moon Girl".

"Grandpa, didn't I already say I don't like Sikong Yu? How can you still think I like him?" Liu Yue said speechlessly. "Besides, do you think Sikong Yu is good enough for me?"

“Of course he’s not good enough for her, but if there were a maid…”

"Blind?" Liu Yue interrupted her second uncle, her lips twitching helplessly. "You're overthinking it. I used to think Sikong Yu was good-looking, passable, but now... Grandpa, what do you think of Yin Ming compared to the Crown Prince?"

Yin Ming?

The image of that mysterious and aloof man flashed through the old man's mind.

He shook his head: "There's no comparison."

It's like comparing heaven and earth!

"I told you long ago, with a handsome man like Yin Ming by my side, why would I be interested in Sikong Yu?" Liu Yue crossed her arms. "Grandpa, don't you believe me?"

"That's good, that's good, hahaha." Old Master Jun's original worries vanished instantly.

He chuckled and said, "It seems my worries were unnecessary."

The imperial carriage stopped at the entrance of the Jun residence.

Grandpa Jun originally didn't want Liu Yue to get involved in this mess, after all, the Mu family was eyeing them covetously.

But Liu Yue didn't take it to heart. She wanted to see what kind of trouble the royal family and the Mu family were up to.

"Young Miss, please." The servant said respectfully.

These past few days, Yin Ming has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously, but Liu Yue didn't take it to heart and got into the carriage.

The carriage was quite spacious. She leaned back on the soft couch and stretched.

Just as I was about to take a nap, the carriage suddenly jolted violently.

"Oh no, the horse has gone mad!"

The horse, which was moving normally, suddenly went berserk as if it had been stimulated by something.

The coachman was thrown into the air.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked not far away.

"Why hasn't that good-for-nothing been thrown out yet?"

Shi Yin lifted the curtain, frowning slightly. "Didn't they say this good-for-nothing could cultivate? Did he faint from fright?"

Shi Yin was still playing with a dart in her hand. It was she who had used the dart to startle the carriage, intending to see a joke, but she didn't expect to see Liu Yue thrown out for so long.

"Scared unconscious? How boring." Shi Yin pouted and was about to lower the curtain when, whoosh! A force came from behind her, and before Shi Yin could react, her clothes were lifted up by a hand.

Bang! Suddenly, the person appeared in the carriage. Before Shi Yin could even see what the figure looked like, the person had already appeared.

She was kicked out of the carriage. "Miss Shi, I'm requisitioning your carriage."

Shi Yin fell down in a spread-eagle position. Although she reacted quickly enough to avoid being too embarrassed, just as she was about to regain her footing, the carriage that had been stopped suddenly sped away.

Shi Yin was thrown to the ground by the inertia, and when she looked up again, her carriage had already sped away.

That voice... it sounds so familiar!

"Jun! Liu! Yue! You tricked me!!!" Shi Yin roared. This good-for-nothing actually dared to steal her carriage!

This is absolutely outrageous!

The events that occurred on the street attracted the attention of many people.

Someone recognized Shi Yin, "Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Shi family?"

"I'm not! I'm not! I told you I'm not!"

Shi Yin roared angrily, "You damned Jun Liuyue, you worthless piece of trash! How dare you scheme against me!"

——

The carriage stopped at the palace. Liu Yue got off the carriage and turned her head to see Shi Yin, who had arrived late.

"Oh, Miss Shi, it's been a long time."

"Jun Liuyue! You did this on purpose!" Shi Yin gritted her teeth as she glared at Liuyue. "You deliberately made me look bad, you..."

"You mean I, a piece of trash, could scheme against the dignified eldest daughter of the Shi family?" Liu Yue crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and spoke with a smile.

His eyes were teasing and manipulative.

For some reason, when Shi Yin met Liu Yue's gaze, her face involuntarily flushed.

This good-for-nothing's eyes look like they're trying to seduce people.

"Hmph, you're still as annoying as ever." Shi Yin sneered. "Jun Liuyue, you didn't come here for the Crown Prince, did you? I heard that Luo Yishui has been living in the Crown Prince's residence, and the Crown Prince is going to marry her. I even saw Luo Yishui and the Crown Prince at the Ghost Market yesterday. Jun Liuyue, you must be very heartbroken, right?"

"He's mentally ill."

After uttering those four words, Liuyue turned and left.

Shi Yin, who thought she could turn the tables, was so angry that she almost jumped up when she heard Liu Yue's flippant words.

"What did you say! You insulted me! Jun Liuyue, you just wait!"
