~ TAKE IT DOWN IF IT’S NOT PLEASING TO YOUR EYE ~

Mu Yunyao had never paid much attention to appearance. After seeing the group of people from the Su family, who had appearances comparable to Heavenly Immortals, but they had hearts like scorpions and snakes, she did not have the slightest bit of care for Eunuch Cheng’s appearance.

“There is no need to be so courteous, Eunuch Cheng. I have long since heard Steward Qin mention you in New Year, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Today’s meeting can be considered as my wish.”

Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s eyes didn’t reveal the slightest bit of unusualness, Eunuch Cheng’s smile became even more sincere. “Miss, quickly go in. The weather is cold outside, your body is weak, please do not suffer any cold air.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded before turning around and returning to the hall.

After setting the charcoal pot on the table, Eunuch Cheng ordered someone to prepare some refreshments. “Wang Ye doesn’t usually pay attention to food, so the snacks are especially rough. I hope Miss Mu doesn’t mind.”

“The taste is pretty good. Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Cheng.”

“Miss, you don’t need to say that. Please, eat this snack. This old servant will go down to warm the stove. In a while, Wang Ye will accompany Miss Mu to tour around this place. This mansion had not been renovated in many years, and in these few days, Wang Ye said that he would change the scenery of the mansion. He wanted us to learn from Jin Xiu Garden in Jiangnan. We also set up some fake mountains to plant some flowers and plants, but Wang Ye is not good at these things. If Miss Mu sees that there’s anything to be fixed, please don’t hesitate to give some pointers.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang. He was drinking the cup of tea calmly as if he hadn’t heard Eunuch Cheng’s words. “Why haven’t I heard that Your Royal Highness is going to fix up the mansion?”

“Well, I just decided on it today.” Yue Wang’s tone did not sound guilty at all.

Mu Yunyao looked at the expressionless Yue Wang, then at the smiling Eunuch Cheng, whose face grew more frightening. She felt slightly helpless in her heart but at the same time felt an indescribable sweetness, “Then I’ll look around with Your Royal Highness Yue Wang Later.”

The smile on Eunuch Cheng’s face grew brighter and brighter as he scrunched up his face, “Alright, then this old servant shall not disturb Wang Ye and Miss Mu anymore.” There were still guards training in the martial arts practice ground in the backyard. He should hurry to drive those people back to their room to avoid disturbing the mood of Wang Ye and Miss Mu when they went out to visit the garden.

When Eunuch Cheng left, Mu Yunyao suddenly thought of Liu Nan, whom Yue Wang had mentioned before. “Is that Liu Nan still at Your Royal Highness’ estate?”

Yue Wang nodded his head: “Last time at Bao Hua Temple, you warned me to be careful of him. Therefore, I had people constantly watching his movements. I did find some things, but I am still unable to confirm it.”

Mu Yunyao’s fingertip slightly trembled, “Is this Liu Nan really a spy?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should be Jin Wang’s men.”

“Jin Wang … As expected, it’s really him....” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned cold. It took her a while before she managed to suppress the killing intent in her heart. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, please show me around.”

“Alright.” Yue Wang watched Mu Yunyao fasten her cloak and then accompanied her out of the room.

Yue Wang’s Palace was empty and cold. There were a few Chinese pine trees planted in the front yard. The dark green pine needles were standing on top of the branches. From afar, it looked surprisingly attractive.

After passing through the corridor in the front yard, they entered the martial arts practice ground.

There are horse hoof marks and traces of weapons on the ground. Weapons racks and wooden stakes were erected on one side of the martial arts practice ground, giving off a cold and hard taste everywhere.

Eunuch Cheng had just rushed the people in the martial arts area back to their room. When he turned around, he saw Mu Yunyao standing in the corridor and hurriedly walked over with a smile, “Does Miss Mu dislike this martial arts practice ground? Wang Ye also felt extremely annoying. Thus, he wanted to dig a lotus pond here, plant some lotus flowers, andand being able to wade across the lake on a summer day is would be great fun.”

Mu Yunyao smiled as she glanced at Yue Wang. “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang wishes to change this place into a lotus pond?” This person had previously invited her to ride a horse in the hunting grounds, but now he was changing it to a lotus pond?

“You can change it to what you like, and we could ride around the lotus pond.” Yue Wang’s expression was remarkably solemn, as though as long as Mu Yunyao spoke, he would immediately order them to start work.

Mu Yunyao smiled and raised her hand to point at a house. Her smile slowly faded as she asked, “What are those houses over there for?”

“There aren’t many people in the mansion. Thus, many houses aren’t even needed. There’s no one living there, and it’s usually used to store some stuff. What’s the matter?”

“I see that feng shui in that house aren’t good, so why don’t we tear it down?” That was the place where she had died miserably in her previous life. Even now, she still felt chilled to the core when she saw it.

“Alright, I also think that place’s Feng Shui is not good. Uncle Cheng, take some people to take it down.” Yue Wang nodded happily and gave a direct order to Eunuch Cheng.

“Yes, this house is idle and useless to begin with. It should have been demolished a long time ago. It would be great if you could dig a lotus pond. This old servant will go find people now.”

After Eunuch Cheng left, Mu Yunyao lowered her head and raised the corner of her lips, “Eunuch Cheng wholeheartedly wants to dig a lotus pond, but hasn’t thought of where to draw water from?” The location of Yue Wang’s Palace was very inconvenient to bring water here. This was also the reason why there are no ponds or watersheds in Yue Wang’s Palace.

It was clear that Yue Wang did not think of this point. After frowning and pondering for a moment, he said: “Let people dig deeper. Maybe we will be able to dig to the bottom of the spring.”

Mu Yunyao suddenly laughed. “You’re not talking about digging a lotus pond, but digging a well, right?”

“As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want.” Yue Wang looked at the smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips and raised the corners of his lips. He didn’t know why Mu Yunyao didn’t like those houses. But since she did mind and thought that it was not pleasing to the eye, he would help her destroy them. As long as she didn’t reveal that ice-cold and cold expression that she had just shown.

“Boom!” A sound rang out. Mu Yunyao turned her head to look and saw a cloud of dust rise up at the edge of the house she was pointing at.

A group of strong men carried a log. After chanting a slogan, they viciously slammed it against the wall, and a hole was created very quickly.

“Yunyao, this place is too noisy. Why don’t we go to the front courtyard?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head, “I want to see that place dismantled.”

“Alright.”

Rumbling sounds came continuously. Looking at the walls and pillars constantly collapsing, Mu Yunyao felt the barrier that tightly bound her heart gradually fall down. An unprecedented feeling of ease came from the bottom of her heart as if she had transited from the long cold winter to a harmonious spring day.

“If Your Royal Highness want to dig a well, just hit the place where the house collapsed.”

“Alright.” As Yue Wang watched the coldness around Mu Yunyao slowly dissipate, his heart also calmed down. “If I really find the spring, I’ll dig a pond there and plant a lotus flower there. What do you think?”

“Well, if the lotus blossoms bloom, I’ll definitely come and take a look.” Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, “Your Royal Highness Yue Wang, aren’t you going to ask why do I look at that house not pleasing to the eye?”

Yue Wang shook his head: “I want to know, but I don’t think you want to say it. Compared to this answer, I don’t want to make things difficult for you any more.”

Mu Yunyao was stunned. The tolerance shown to her by Yue Wang made her very grateful. It took a while before she whispered softly, “Thank you....”
