Mu Youran, who had just reached the door, heard the crisp sound of Shu Ming kneeling down, and her mood soared with great pleasure.
He paused slightly, but didn't stop, and strode away.
As soon as he stepped out the door, he whispered a few words of advice to Hu Zhong.
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhong immediately perked up, smiled, and turned to go inside.
He lowered his voice, seemingly acting as if he were doing something for Shuming's benefit.
"Shuming, how can you do this? You should have the right attitude when asking for help. You know the Beast King doesn't want to see you at all."
"The princess is about to leave, and you're only now kneeling down. Isn't that a bit too late?"
Shu Ming knelt down. He wanted to stand up, but he knew that Hu Zhong was just a dog by Mu Youran's side.
With his pig-brain, he could never do such a thing. The master had already left, and he still came back to say these things.
It must have been Mu Youran's doing!
That's why he felt humiliated. If he stood up in front of Hu Zhong now, it would mean that he, Shu Ming, had completely broken with Mu Youran, the royal family, and the Great Shaman!
Although the Rat Clan is quite powerful among the Nine Great Families, for some reason, this generation of Rat Clan descendants are all incredibly stupid, leaving others to shoulder the main responsibility.
The entire family is almost reduced to an empty shell.
Turning against us now would be tantamount to courting disaster!
He forced a pleading expression onto his face as he looked at Hu Zhong, who was speaking to him with his head down.
"I beg Chief Guard Hu Zhong to put in a good word for me with the Princess."
"I will kneel here forever, begging Your Highness to release my mother and sister!"
Hu Zhong straightened up, glanced at the rat Ming, and remained silent, because the princess had instructed him not to speak until he saw the meat!
Soon, he saw Shu Ming's face, veins bulging, as he spoke in a resounding voice.
"Please convey a message from Guard Chief Hu Zhong: I, Shu Ming, am willing to offer a shop in the west of the city as a reward!"
As he spoke, he took a domino from his person and presented it with both hands.
Those two little things are nothing more than symbols of ownership of the shop!
Hu Zhong was thrilled when he saw it. He never expected that sometimes silence would be more effective than words!
However, he had to act serious for now, so he took a domino and nodded.
"Considering that we both come from prominent families, I'll put in a good word for you."
After saying that, he jumped out of the room without looking back, excitedly skipping and hopping, and ran to You Ran, who was walking slowly on the road.
He spread his palms out, his face beaming with excitement: "Your Highness, look!"
"He gave me a shop in the west of the city and asked me to pass on a message to you: he will kneel there for a long time!"
Hu Chen, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "The Princess's move was truly brilliant!"
His foolish son listened to the princess and went there, and came back with a shop, a shop in the west of the city!
Mu Youran smiled and said, "Let's go back and have dinner before coming back here."
"Find a guard in a moment and tell him that we will be here this afternoon."
"good!"
Hu Zhong nodded. He really wanted to see how Shu Ming would get up after kneeling for so long.
As soon as Hu Zhongyi left the main hall, Shu Ming knelt down on the ground. He never imagined that he would be so destitute one day.
When his younger sister and mother did that, he clearly disapproved, but he didn't do his best to stop them. That was the only mistake he made.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state!
As the sun began to set, his shadow grew longer and longer, and the room, which had been bathed in the afterglow of sunlight, was soon devoid of light.
However, that lowly female has not yet arrived.
It's obvious this is a deliberate attempt to mess with him!
He was not stupid, but precisely because of this, he dared not get up, even though his knees were already red and swollen.
Fortunately, before dark, he heard footsteps, very light, which he could tell were female.
Looking up, I saw Mu Youran, Hu Zhong, and Hu Ben walking over, chatting and laughing.
He tried to get up and walk over, but as soon as he moved his leg, the numbness and pain caused him to fall flat on his face!
Hu Ben's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Young Master Ming, this is too much of a gift for us. Please get up!"
"The Beast King already knows you've been kneeling here for most of the day, and he sent me to accompany the Queen to talk to you!"
Oh!
Shu Ming was so angry he wanted to tear these people who were laughing at him to pieces right now.
Especially Mu Youran!
The culprit!
He struggled to his feet and said, "Thank you, Beast King and Queen!"
Mu Youran listened to his weak and listless voice and sat down on a chair next to him.
"Please sit down."
Then a look of pity appeared on his face: "Oh dear, Young Master Rat, why are you still kneeling? Didn't I send a guard to help you up?"
"Look at you, you've made a complete mess of yourself."
"Someone, bring a stool for our esteemed Young Master Rat!"
The guard beside him deftly took out a wooden stool and placed it behind Shuming's buttocks.
However, Shu Ming knew very well that he could not sit down now.
He pleaded again, "Your Highness, that matter was my fault for not disciplining them properly. Please, please let them go."
"They're females, they'll die in prison!"
Mu Youran stretched her feet onto the empty stool next to her, leaned back in her chair, and glanced at him with disdain.
Do you know why the Beast King doesn't want to see you?
Shuming nodded: "I know."
Mu Youran chuckled lightly: "You know that, yet you still have the nerve to say it?"
