Chapter 258: 260 Getting Crazier

260 Getting Crazier

There were also lanterns placed in some small corners of the courtyard. It was not completely dark, and it seemed that the owner had indeed put some thought into it.

The flower Hall was still filled with music and toasts, but the courtyard a few steps away seemed to have a soundproof barrier, and it suddenly became quiet.

The night wind blew, bringing some coolness. It was already autumn. Except for the noon when the autumn tiger’s might was still not reduced, the morning and evening were gradually getting colder.

Mo Ruyue’s clothes were still relatively thin, but her current physical fitness was different from the past. She was not afraid of the cold wind, let alone this little bit of cold.

She looked up at the moon in the sky and realized that the moon was almost full again.

It seemed that she could not remember how many full moons she had been in this world. For an assassin, the precise control of time was more important than her life. However, since she came to this world, she seemed to be constantly breaking some principles and rules.

Sure enough, after living a comfortable life for a long time, the edges and corners would be ground away.

“Lady Qin, it’s cold outside. Even if you want to sober up, you have to take care of your body.”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Mo Ruyue turned her head slightly. It was Lady Duanmu standing behind her.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,”

She gave a short reply and did not have any intention of talking to Lady Duanmu.

“I haven’t thanked Lady Qin for Qing Xi’s matter. I’m really ashamed to say that you’re her savior. As her mother, I can’t thank you enough. I just don’t know what Lady Qin wants.”

Lady Duanmu spoke again, but the meaning behind her words was almost clear. She was actually a “straight ball player”. This was something Mo Ruyue had not expected.

Shouldn’t rich and powerful ladies like them be beating around the bush and using all sorts of tricks to make people play guessing games?

“Lady Duanmu, I’ve already gotten what I wanted. It’s useless even if you force me to get what I don’t want. I appreciate your gratitude, but there’s no need for a thank you gift.”

Mo Ruyue had directly expressed her attitude. It should not be difficult for Lady Duanmu to understand the meaning behind her words.

“Lady Qin, I sincerely want to thank you. After all, that was a life-saving grace. I always feel that it’s not enough. As long as I can do it, there’s no harm in Lady Qin asking.”

Lady Duanmu was still smiling. It seemed that she still did not want to give up on the idea of ‘repaying the favor’.

Mo Ruyue sighed. Some people’s obsessions were really impossible to communicate with. Since it was useless to say it, then she might as well not say it.

She shook her head and gave up on communicating with Lady Duanmu. It did not matter even if Lady Duanmu treated her as an imaginary enemy. After all, she would not come to Ping City again. Even if she wanted to use her tricks, she would have to find an opportunity.

Lady Duanmu’s smile froze on her face. When she saw that Mo Ruyue still had no intention of speaking, the smile on her face gradually faded.

She couldn’t figure out this woman, but she knew that Duanmu Xize must have had feelings for her, which was why he was helping her so wholeheartedly.

Although he had the support of his maternal family, Duanmu Xize could only choose to continue to curry favor with her. However, if he could make good use of that woman’s abilities, she might become his new trump card.

“Lady Qin, the guests in the flower hall are still waiting for me to greet them, so I’ll take my leave first.”

She turned around and left after saying that. She didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to reply to her at all.

“Madam Liu, send someone to keep an eye on her. If she’s like what she said, it’s fine if she doesn’t have any desires, but if she has any thoughts that she shouldn’t have…”

Lady Duanmu did not continue. Madam Liu also nodded silently. The master and servant duo walked away in silence.

Mo Ruyue, who was still in the same place, still looked up at the moon in the sky, but there was a cold smile on the corner of his lips.

“If you want to touch me, let’s see if you have the ability to not be afraid of the backlash.”

After the banquet ended, Mo Ruyue took the Duanmu family’s carriage back to her residence. She would set off for home the next morning.

Although she wasn’t the first to come to the banquet, she was the first to leave. the guests present seemed to be numb to this and were somewhat used to it.

She was now Master Duanmu’s favorite person, so it was not surprising that she had some privileges. This was also a reminder to them that Lady Qin’s backer was Master Duanmu.

The guests in Duanmu residence gradually dispersed. County Magistrate Chen Luyu’s carriage was parked at a corner not far from Duanmu residence. It was only when another carriage with the word ‘Cao’ on it slowly drove over that the coachman got down and blocked the way.

“County Officer Cao, can we have a talk?”

Chen Luyu said to the carriage. Soon, a person alighted from the opposite carriage. It was none other than county officer Cao.

“Lord Chen, what do you have to say?”

In terms of position, the county lieutenant was only slightly lower than the county magistrate. Even if he was talking to Chen Luyu, county lieutenant Cao did not have to put on such a humble attitude.

However, his wife had just offended Mo Ruyue, which was equivalent to offending Duanmu Xize. Now was the time for him to try to keep a low profile and avoid making enemies. He could only judge the situation and lower his head, putting on a relatively humble attitude.

“You need to discipline Madam Cen when you get back. She’s caused you so much trouble this time, so you need to know that. Don’t let her make any assumptions. When a woman is soft-hearted, she’ll easily act rashly and cause trouble.”

After Chen Luyu lectured him, he said in a serious tone, “I’m only saying this because we’re in-laws. It’s for your own good. Don’t blame me for being a busybody.”

County lieutenant Cao’s face was gloomy, and anger surged in his eyes. Even his jaw was faintly grinding a few times before he finally said, “Master Chen is right. This lowly woman has long hair but little knowledge. After hearing someone’s complaints, she wants to stand up for him. She should see how much she can do.

“Now that such a disaster has occurred, it is also this official’s fault for not disciplining properly. This time when I return, I will definitely discipline her well, but I hope that Sir can help me in the future and help this official escape from this predicament.”

When Chen Luyu heard this, he laughed bitterly in his heart. Speaking of which, he was also in a difficult situation. He had no idea what Lady Qin had said in front of Master Duanmu to set up such a trap. He didn’t even know how to get out of this, let alone save others.

However, he couldn’t show any timidity. That would only confirm the “rumors” that the Cen family had heard.

At that time, county lieutenant Cao wouldn’t be able to lower his voice and let him do whatever he wanted.

“Well, it’s getting late. County lieutenant Cao, you should go back. I have to go too.”

Chen Luyu waved his hand and closed the window. The carriage then set off.

He leaned back against the wooden board of the carriage, closed his eyes and sighed. Once again, he was glad that his wife, Madam Du, could not attend the banquet because of her illness. Otherwise, he was afraid that his end would be even worse.

That woman was no longer the virtuous and polite woman she used to be. Ever since she lost the lawsuit and was forced to apologize to Mo Ruyue, she had become more and more crazy and unreasonable.
