Mo Qingcheng was brought into the deputy city lord's mansion without breaking a sweat.
"Go inside and behave yourself. The deputy city lord will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Yes, our deputy city lord is incredibly patient with young women and wives, hahaha!"
"You guys have nothing better to do? Get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
A few guards on the city wall were about to make a joke when a man in short black clothes rushed over and, with a roar, sent the troublesome guards away.
With her hands bound, Mo Qingcheng looked up at the man in black.
"Hiss..." Mo Qingcheng blinked. Such a handsome face, but unfortunately, a long scar ruined its beauty, making it unbearable to look at.
The man in black clasped his hands in greeting: "Miss, my name is Liang Feng, the top bodyguard under the deputy city lord."
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow: "I've heard so much about you, thank you!"
Liang Feng was speechless for a moment, completely at a loss. Other girls would either cry or tremble when they saw him, but the girl in front of him was not only not afraid, but also distant and polite.
This left him, a grown man, completely at a loss for what to do next.
"Please come in, young lady. The deputy city lord will be here shortly." Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the coldness from his face. After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave a good impression on his master.
Mo Qingcheng nodded and followed Liang Feng into a charming little courtyard.
Liang Feng instructed the two maids to take good care of Mo Qingcheng, gave her a complicated look, and then drifted away.
Mo Qingcheng lowered her eyes, inwardly grumbling. The Deputy City Lord's Mansion was full of strangeness, and the identity of this secret guard Feng was becoming increasingly suspicious.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Mo Qingcheng didn't stand on ceremony and called out towards the door, "Someone come here, this lady is hungry."
The maid Qiu Tao sneered, "Don't you even know your place? You just entered the city lord's mansion and you're already calling yourself 'this lady'? You're asking for it."
Seeing the vixen's stunningly beautiful face, he felt an urge to tear her apart.
Everyone knows that the deputy city lord dotes on that vixen; that's how his eighteenth concubine entered the household—a common tactic.
Pooh!
shameless.
The maid Chuncao shook her head: "Sister Qiutao, don't talk nonsense. You stay here and watch over things. I'll go get something for Madam to eat."
"Chuncao, are you out of your mind?" Qiutao yelled angrily, "You stay here, I'm going!"
“But…” Chuncao hesitated, watching Qiutao’s departing figure, her eyelids twitching, and for some reason, a sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart.
Could it be that Sister Qiu Tao is plotting against the new mistress? Everyone in the manor knows that Qiu Tao, as a concubine, is secretly abusing the maids.
Anyone who is even slightly pretty is either crippled, blind, or disfigured—it's terrifying.
Mo Qingcheng lay on the boudoir, picked up a spirit fruit from the table, and began to crunch on it.
Tsk tsk, I must say, this tastes pretty good.
"Someone, go and get me some more spirit fruits, the more the better." Mo Qingcheng's lips curled into a smile.
"Yes, Madam!" Chuncao breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the gate, gave an order to the guards outside, and obediently retreated.
"Madam, the spirit fruit will arrive shortly."
"Okay! Thank you!" Mo Qingcheng replied casually, sending the plates of spiritual fruit on the table into her spatial storage.
Ahem, let the two little ones have a taste.
Before long, Chuncao came in carrying several plates of spiritual fruits, placed them respectfully on the table, and then turned and left.
Mo Qingcheng lazily picked up a pastry, and just as she brought it to her mouth, a loud bang rang out.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and a furious roar soared into the sky.
"Let me see which shameless vixen dares to pester my husband!"
