Thinking it over, the apprehensive Mo Jinghao immediately calmed himself down, knelt down and bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what brings you here so late at night?"
Ling Jingyu looked down at the obsequious man and raised his peach blossom eyes, "I can't sleep, so I came to talk to Second Master Mo to relieve my boredom."
Mo Jinghao became increasingly certain of his thoughts and hurriedly pledged his loyalty: "I am willing to risk my life for Your Highness without hesitation."
Ling Jingyu gave a gentle "hmm," and said, "Then let me give you a beating."
"ah?"
The next moment.
"ah!"
Screams rang out, and Qian immediately came out. But as soon as she reached the door, something hit her in the face, and she screamed and fainted.
Mo Bilian, who was in the next courtyard, also rushed over.
The red brocade robe, like a swirling flame, shone brightly like a shooting star in the night, igniting her heart as well.
"Your Highness...ah!"
She felt a sharp pain on her face, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
That night, a group of men in black suddenly stormed into the other two major families, and the two family heads were brutally beaten without even having a chance to fight back.
...
As dawn broke, the continuous spring rain that had fallen all night stopped, and the sun came out.
A spring rain overnight washed away the stench of last night's bloodshed, leaving only fresh air.
When Mo Yunzhao woke up, Fu Liu quickly came in to help her wash up. While she was washing her face, Fu Liu whispered, "Lord of the City, last night the Second Master let the thirteen-year-old young master of the Yu family go."
She was very grateful for the city lord's trust and would certainly not let him down.
Mo Yunzhao put down the handkerchief and then asked, "Do you know how to do makeup?"
Fu Liu couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she lowered her head and said, "This servant doesn't know."
"You work in the kitchen and have excellent cooking skills. Tomorrow I want to eat lychee pork and coconut red bean paste rolls..."
Fu Liu bowed her head: "Yes."
Mo Yunzhao had Fu Liu choose the most vibrant phoenix-tail dress, as red as fire and as alluring as a demon. The plum blossom decoration between her eyebrows made her look both enchanting and ethereal.
When Mo Jinghao and the others arrived at the flower hall and saw Mo Yunzhao, they were all amazed by her beauty.
She was both enchanting and ethereal, so noble that people looked up to her, feeling as if they were nothing more than ants at her feet, utterly lowly.
Looking at that stunning face, Mo Bici praised with a smile, "Third Sister is so beautiful today, as beautiful as a fairy. I dare not look directly at her, for fear of disrespecting her."
Mo Yunzhao replied indifferently, "Only ugly ants would feel so inferior in front of me, the city lord."
Mo Bici's smile froze. Was this an insult to her ugliness?
She would sooner or later carve out, no, peel off, that beautiful face and make it into a fan to admire day and night, so as not to waste such unparalleled beauty.
Just as she was thinking this, she felt Mo Yunzhao's unfocused eyes fall on her, making her feel a chill down her spine, as if her thoughts had been seen through.
Once Mo Yunzhao's gaze shifted away, Mo Bici felt as if she had escaped death, and couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe her forehead.
A single glance from her filled her with fear and caused her to break out in a cold sweat.
Mo Yunlan came over wearing a bright green dress and immediately burst out laughing when she saw the three people standing in the flower hall.
"Second Uncle, why is your face swollen like a pig's head?"
She laughed gleefully: "And then there's Second Aunt and Fourth Sister, who, for no reason, think they're too ugly, so they print a shoehorn on their faces to decorate themselves and make themselves look prettier?"
Fu Liu and the many servants had been trying their best to suppress their laughter, but after Mo Yunlan said that, they couldn't help but chuckle softly.
