Matters of marriage are connected on both sides
Mu Ming shrugged and said, "See? I told you we couldn't get in."
Qi Hui said slyly, "You've really made yourself famous, haven't you?"
Mu Ming said sarcastically, "Oh, young master, you can't get in. It's no use having your life. Just wait and see if you can't finish your job."
"..." Everyone fell silent again.
Why are they all being mentioned together? Even standing here, I'm getting dragged into this!
After realizing what was happening, Mu Ming immediately waved his hand at the others and reassured them, "It's alright, it's alright. Let's investigate the situation further first. We'll definitely find a way."
Seeing this, Qi Hui said sarcastically, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to have two faces. By the way... what grudge do I have against you? You've been going against me ever since just now."
Mu Ming said simply and clearly, "I have no grudge against you, I just can't stand you."
Qi Huiyin chuckled, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of getting what's coming to you if you offend me?"
Mu Ming spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "I'm an orphan with no ties, what am I afraid of? At worst, I'll take your life. You can have it if you want."
Qi Hui smiled and said, "Then... if I were to take your life right now, would you... give it to me or not?"
Everyone was stunned. Qi Wenzhe was about to speak when Mu Ming replied, "No, and if I would obediently die just because everyone said they wanted my life, then why would I still be standing here now?"
Qi Hui said, "Didn't you just say you'd give it to me if I asked? Now you're not willing anymore? You really change your mind faster than flipping through a book."
Mu Ming wasn't angry after hearing this. She said, "You actually believe that? You're too stupid. Let me tell you, the consequences of blindly trusting others can be very serious."
Qi Hui clenched his fist and said, "Did your mouth get chopped off? You're so sharp-tongued."
After noticing his clenched fist, Mu Ming retorted, "Unlike you, who's like a volcano, always getting angry."
Everyone was stunned again.
This girl is really outspoken. Will she regret what she said after she finds out the prince's identity?
Qi Hui suddenly felt as if he had vomited blood.
I, the king, cannot even win an argument with her. This is a great disgrace! You just wait!
At this moment, Qi Wenzhe finally spoke up, "Let's go to the neighboring city to rest first, and then discuss entering the city."
After hearing this, Qi Hui said, "Let's go. I... I should also go and get some rest. I haven't been sleeping well these days. I've really suffered."
He breathed a sigh of relief after saying that.
That was close; I almost let it slip.
Mu Ming muttered under his breath, "Arrogant."
Qi Hui and the others were martial artists, so their senses were more sensitive. Everyone except the people from the Imperial Hospital and Ji Shao heard Mu Ming's mutterings.
Qi Wenzhe was able to hear because his father was a valiant general who fought on the front lines and he had practiced martial arts as a child.
Qi Hui's followers prayed silently in their hearts.
Grandma, stop talking! You're asking for it, you know?
Qi Wenzhe sighed and said to Mu Ming, "Miss Mu, would you be willing to come along? You grew up here, so you must know more about the neighboring city than we do."
After hearing this, Mu Ming patted his chest and said, "No problem, I know the terrain very well."
Then she looked at the group of people in front of her and said, "However... you should cover yourselves up so tightly, otherwise people will know at a glance that you came from Shu City, which is too conspicuous."
Qi Hui said, "Then let's change it."
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly went to the side to remove their extra clothing. After a while, they were all dressed in civilian clothes, and Mu Ming was able to see their faces clearly.
But this time, the one who was different and conspicuous was Mu Ming, who was dirty and had a black face. Everyone fell silent.
"...What should we do?!"
Qi Hui looked Mu Ming up and down and deliberately said, "Hmm... you really do look like a beggar."
Mu Ming retorted, "Then why don't you take pity on me and give me some gold?"
Qi Hui listened and looked at her quietly.
You always leave people wondering what you're going to say next.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Ming said, "Silver is fine too, ten thousand taels is enough. If you think it's not enough, I'll ask for more. After all, you rich people don't care about such a small amount of money."
Everyone was shocked.
Can you ask for more?! Is this how you beg?!
Qi Hui choked up immediately, managing to squeeze out a few words: "You wish."
After hearing this, Mu Ming said, "Alright, I know you won't give it to me. Give me a handkerchief and a pot of water so I can wipe my face. Also, give me a change of clothes, men's clothes are fine too."
Everyone sighed inwardly.
You have such a good attitude.
Qi Wenzhe said, "Miss Mu, please change in the carriage. The things you need are inside. The clothes are at the very bottom of the left-hand chest. That one is new; I haven't worn it yet."
Mu Ming smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, young master. I will definitely return it to you in the future."
Qi Wenzhe said gently, "No need, consider the clothes a gift from me to Miss Mu. You should go and change first."
Mu Ming said, "Alright."
After saying that, he got into the carriage to change his clothes.
Seeing this, Qi Hui smiled and said to Qi Wenzhe, "Young Master Qi is really popular with women. This girl treats you much better than she treats me."
Qi Wenzhe said unhurriedly, "Perhaps it's because you treated Miss Mu poorly that she acted this way."
Qi Hui thought about it after hearing this.
My attitude towards her? ...I just questioned her a few times when we first met, and this is her attitude?! What a petty little brat.
Before long, a slender hand gently lifted the curtain on the carriage, revealing a face of ethereal beauty.
Mu Ming slowly stepped down from the carriage. She was dressed in light green men's clothing, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. If you didn't look closely, you would just think she was some young master.
Everyone was stunned. Qi Hui looked at her with some surprise.
The little girl is actually quite pretty; I thought she would look like a country bumpkin.
Mu Ming glanced at Qi Hui and said, "Alright, shall we go?"
Ji Shao praised, "Girl, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. How old are you? How about Uncle Ji finds you a good marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui smiled and said, "Didn't Young Master Ji... already have someone he loves?"
Ji Xi's gaze towards Li Xingyi was already full of love, and the way he looked at Li Xingyi upon seeing him made it clear to anyone who didn't know.
Ji Shao froze, scratching his head as he said, "Haha, the child is young and shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, the marriage I arranged for Mu could be someone else, haha."
Qi Hui then looked at Mu Ming and said, "Little girl, you decide your own marriage."
Mu Ming said to Ji Shao, "I'm only twenty-nine years old, so there's no rush. Besides, I have very high standards, and I'm afraid no one can meet my expectations."
Qi Hui was surprised upon hearing this.
He's actually a year older than me...
He then joked, "Then you're probably destined to be a lonely widow for life?"
Mu Ming calmly retorted, "You too, your words are so irritating, I doubt anyone would even look at you."
Qi Hui forced a smile, and Ji Shao glanced at them and muttered, "Perhaps, the two of you could try dating?"
The sound wasn't too loud or too soft; it was just enough for everyone to hear.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui and Mu Ming both glanced at each other and immediately turned away with disdain, saying in unison, "Who would want her/him!"
"..." Everyone fell silent.
...I must say, they're actually quite a good match.
Seeing this, Ji Shao thought for a moment.
Their personalities are quite similar, so if they were to be brought together, it could be a perfect match.
He then quickly smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the neighboring city first."
Qi Wenzhe glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, we should really go."
Mu Ming said, "Let's go quickly, I know the way."
Then everyone got into the carriages or mounted their horses.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Qi Hui asked in shock, "Wait, why is this girl riding in the same carriage as me?!"
Qi Wenzhe explained, "Young master, Uncle Ji and I are in one carriage, and all the other carriages are full. Your carriage is the only one with you, so it's perfect for Miss Mu to ride with you."
Mu Ming crossed his arms and said deliberately, "What are you yelling for? I haven't even complained about you yet, what are you complaining about?"
Qi Hui stared at her in shock and said, "You're riding in my carriage, and you still want to look down on me?!"
Mu Ming waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that. Alright, young master, please condescend to sit in the same carriage as this country bumpkin."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hui felt a little better and said, "Hmph, I'm not that petty."
Mu Ming said, "Yes, yes, you're the most generous."
The group then set off together for the neighboring city.
