They've never even done this to me!
At this moment, Zu An suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Kong, are you trying to sow discord between us by telling me all this? That's not very clever of you. Not to mention that I wasn't very familiar with Madam Yu back then, even now, I still have many secrets I haven't told her, so why would I blame her for that?"
Upon hearing his words, Yu Yanluo, whose brows had been somewhat melancholy, revealed a knowing smile. Her beauty and radiance in that instant seemed to melt even the coldest ice cave.
Not to mention the infatuated Jian Taiding, even Kong Qing was stunned, thinking that this woman was unbelievably beautiful, and wondered if the princess could compete with her.
Clearly, because he had noticed the peacock feathers on Zu An's body, Kong Qing misunderstood the relationship between him and Kong Nanwu.
This is understandable. He had never seen the princess give her token to anyone before, let alone a human man, especially one as handsome and dashing as her.
However, he was very composed and quickly recovered: "Does Lord Zu know that the person next to you also has business dealings with our clansmen?"
Oh dear, I'm really worried sick about the princess. Next time I see her, I'll have to make her thank me properly.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Yu Yanluo.
Yu Yanluo nodded slightly: "There are indeed some business dealings, but they are only some daily necessities and medicines, and the quantities are strictly controlled. They do not involve military supplies or the like."
The previous ones don't need explanation, but this one is of great importance and needs to be clarified.
At the same time, he felt a little annoyed. What was wrong with Kong Qing? Why did he seem to be undermining him? Was he trying to sow discord between the two of them?
Zuan fell silent, not understanding why Yu Yanluo would smuggle goods with the demon race.
Is it for money?
But her business with spirit stones alone is enough to make her incredibly wealthy; there's no need for her to take this risk.
Seeing that he was silent, Jian Taiding immediately became happy: "Sister-in-law, do you see? Actually, you and I should be on the same side. This guy is just a dog kept by the court. How could he possibly be of one mind with you?"
Zuan couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you a government official yourself? If you want to be a dog, don't drag me down with you."
After saying that, he turned his head away and never looked at him again, and said loudly, "Are human lives precious, but demon lives not? As long as everyone's living standards improve, who would want to keep fighting? Not all demons are bad people, and there are plenty of scum among humans."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Jian Taiding.
Jian Taiding: "..."
Are you polite?
Anger from Jian Taiding: +110 +110 +110...
After all, the people of Zaun are not native to this world. They have not experienced the hatred of the centuries-long war between humans and demons, and subconsciously believe that all living beings are equal.
Moreover, Qiao Xueying, whom I know, and... aren't they all from the demon race?
Then he smiled at Yu Yanluo and said, "Although I don't know why you did this, after spending so much time together, I'm willing to believe that you have a reason for doing so."
Yu Yanluo covered her lips in disbelief, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.
I thought the other party would turn hostile, and even if I kept quiet for the sake of the bigger picture, I would still harbor resentment. But to my surprise, I heard such sincere words.
Over the years, she has met all sorts of people, and she can still tell whether someone is telling the truth or a lie.
Kong Qing was also taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it was no wonder the princess treated him differently; this man was indeed extraordinary.
However, he still coughed and said, "Do you know that what you said today will be considered treasonous if it gets out? If you're not careful, you might end up with nowhere to stand in human society?"

At least I didn't set a flag.
