Zhong Muyu asked, "So you just came to see me? Or did Chengfeng ask you for help?"
"Hehe! Chengfeng did ask me to plead for you, but Seventh Brother looks too scary right now, so I didn't dare. That's why I could only come and see you!"
"Chengfeng is really thoughtful, but as you can see, this is how I am now."
Zhong Muyu stepped aside to welcome him in, but Lu Ziyuan immediately noticed the pastries that Zhong Muyu had placed there.
Wow! I've always wanted to buy pastries from Yue Shi Fang, but I've never had the chance!
"Yes, eat if you want."
With permission granted, Lu Ziqing didn't stand on ceremony at all, stuffing his mouth full.
"It's so delicious! I haven't had such delicious pastries since I left Yuanjing!"
Zhong Muyu said, "Eat slowly. If you can't finish it, you can take it with you."
"Really? Then thank you, Seventh Sister-in-law!"
Lu Ziqing grinned broadly and continued stuffing pastries into his mouth. As he ate, he couldn't help but say, "Seventh Brother is really something. It's just going out to buy some pastries, why is he getting so angry? I'm scared of him."
Zhong Muyu asked, "Are you very afraid of him?"
"To be precise, he is skilled in martial arts, and few of my brothers can defeat him if they mess with him."
Lu Ziqing swallowed the last bite of his dessert, and Zhong Muyu promptly produced a paper cup of water for him.
"Phew~"
Lu Ziqing drank the water in one gulp, and then examined the paper cup.
"It's a cup made of paper! How can paper hold water? And this glowing thing, I noticed it earlier, it's so amazing!"
After looking at the paper cup, Lu Ziqing then set his sights on Zhong Muyu's flashlight.
Zhong Muyu laughed and said, "What? Interested in my little gadgets?"
"I'm very interested. How can it be so bright?"
"That's a long story, but I have a smaller one here. You can use this to light your way back."
Zhong Muyu took out a smaller flashlight from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Ziqing: "But it can't stay this bright forever. If it stops working one day, come find me and I'll fix it for you!"
Lu Ziqing took the flashlight, pressed the switch a few times, and seemed to really like it.
"Then Ziqing thanks you very much, Seventh Sister-in-law. You are still so amazing. The Crown Prince once gave me a wooden craft you made, which was very interesting. I never thought that you would be able to make something that glows in just a few years!"
Lu Ziqing naturally assumed that the flashlight was made by Zhong Muyu. After he mentioned it, Zhong Muyu also had some impression. Although the original owner grew up in the palace, she was quite skilled at making woodworking tools. Even the Empress Dowager said that her hobbies were not like those of ordinary girls.
Well, let him think that way if he wants to. Otherwise, explaining the origin of these things will be even more troublesome.
Zhong Muyu said, "Don't worry about these details. Once you've eaten and drunk your fill, hurry up and leave. If someone sees you, your seventh brother will be very angry."
"No, I can't leave!"
Lu Ziqing suddenly stood up and said righteously, "How can anyone live in a place like this? Seventh Brother has gone too far. No, I demand that Seventh Brother release you."
Zhong Muyu sensed his fluctuating emotions and asked helplessly, "Weren't you afraid to go because you were worried about him getting angry? Why do you suddenly want to go?"
"Because you're a very good person, Seventh Sister-in-law. Our conversation just now has convinced me that what Seventh Brother did was wrong. I don't know why Seventh Brother likes that Su... Su what was it again? I just don't like her."
"It's Su Zhirou. You haven't even met her, and you don't like her?"
"Although I haven't met her, I feel that Seventh Sister-in-law is the best."
Lu Ziqing smiled, revealing a small tiger tooth.
Zhong Muyu suddenly felt that this kid was not bad either. Of course, she knew in her heart that Lu Ziqing was indebted to her because he was eating her food and taking her money, so he decided to stand up for her.
However, Zhong Muyu still did not plan to go back. Going back meant sharing a room with Lu Ziyuan, living in constant fear. In the storage room, she could enter her personal space and get a Simmons bed, which was much more comfortable than the hard wooden plank bed here.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think you shouldn't bother your seventh brother. It's getting late, and he's probably already asleep."
Lu Ziqing said, "Don't worry, I know Seventh Brother. He's got a lot going on, so he's definitely not asleep. Seventh Sister-in-law, just wait for my good news! By the way, next time Seventh Sister-in-law goes to Yue Shi Fang, remember to invite me!"
After saying that, Lu Ziqing didn't care whether she agreed or not, and went straight to find Lu Ziyuan.
...
Later, Zhong Muyu didn't know what had happened.
Early spring came to pick her up and take her back to her room. According to what she had heard, it seemed that Lu Ziqing had ruined Su Zhirou's good time and had been talking sweetly to Lu Ziyuan for a long time, which had worn Lu Ziyuan down.
Zao Chun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that His Highness Prince Rong would actually plead for the Princess. Chengfeng really didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
"Hmm, Lu Ziqing is a person I can get along with."
Zhong Muyu sat on the edge of the bed, on the verge of tears.
A single room!
A Simmons bed!
They're all gone!
Early Spring asked curiously, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, I'm very happy!"
"That's good. I'll go out now. The prince will be here shortly."
Zhong Muyu turned her head blankly: "What's he doing here?"
Zaochun had a complicated expression on her face: "This servant doesn't know either. Anyway, Your Highness, please prepare well."
Preparation? What does she need to prepare?
While Zhong Muyu was still in a daze, Zaochun had already left, and Lu Ziyuan followed.
He slammed the door open, and the gust of wind made the candlelight in the room flicker.
