Jun Linyuan wasn’t known to be easily persuaded, not even by his own father, the emperor. Someone had just changed his mind? Who could that be?

Lou Yue smiled, but didn’t reply.

Mu Yaoyao went up to them in a hurry. “Sister Lou Yue, I’m so sorry. I apologize for being so rude. Can you tell us who that person is? We’ll go ask for his help. Maybe he’ll put in a good word for us, too. Right?”

Lou Yue smirked inwardly. It was a ‘her,’ and with what you did? Forget it.

You people would be scared out of your wits if I told you that the person was Miss Feng Wu.

Deep down, Lou Yue was a little devil. She was enjoying seeing Mu Yaoyao and the others dig their own graves.

Hence, she replied indifferently, “I’m sorry. I don’t know who that person is.”

Just then, hasty footsteps came from outside.

Lady Mu arrived with a bunch of maids and grannies.

However, they were stopped at the door and Lady Mu was only allowed to take one maid and one granny with her.

Lord Mu had been furious when he got the news!

The girl offended His Royal Highness? Did she have a death wish?!

Lord Mu was too ashamed to come here himself.

Lady Mu could still hear Lord Mu’s bellow in her ears. “Leave her there! Let her rot in hell! What was she thinking, offending Jun Linyuan? How stupid can she be?!”

Lady Mu had a hard time calming Lord Mu down before leaving for World Tower with all those servants and a lot of gifts.

A granny found a maid of World Tower before they got in and bribed her. They were then told what happened today.

However, they were all the more befuddled after they heard the whole thing.

What…

What did the princess do?

What was the crown prince unhappy about? For offending Feng Wu and Chaoge, or for bringing Princess Jun Wuxia into this?

Lady Mu was confused.

They also heard from the maid that Master Lou Yun had been replaced by Lou Yue, the new head.

Lady Mu’s stomach lurched.

That was big…

Lou Yue came out to greet Lady Mu.

With Lady Mu, Lou Yue was rather detached in her manner, and that warm smile she gave Jin Yuntao was nowhere to be found.

“Lady Mu, please take the princess back. She’s no longer a child and I don’t think she should act or speak so childishly anymore. You never know who you would offend unknowingly.”

What more could Lady Mu say? She could only smile bitterly and promise that she would discipline the princess well.

Princess Mu was vexed!

“Just tell me who I offended? What childish thing did I say?” Mu Yaoyao glared at Lou Yue. She couldn’t understand this!

“Smack!”

However, Lady Mu slapped her hard in the face right away.

“Mum!” Mu Yaoyao was astonished.

She had never expected that her mother would hit her.

Growing up, her mother had always doted on her and had never laid a finger on her… Mu Yaoyao felt so wronged.

The look in Lady Mu’s eyes had never been this stern. “Shut your mouth!”

She had offended His Royal Highness and that was a fact. Continuing to ask such questions would only displease the crown prince further. Lord Mu and herself wouldn’t be able to do anything if the crown prince decided to cut Mu Yaoyao’s head off!

Lady Mu darted a look at the granny whom she had brought with her.

The granny quickly tied Mu Yaoyao up with a rope.

“What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing?! Let go of me! Now!” Mu Yaoyao cried out in surprise and struggled violently.

However, Granny Xiong was too powerful for Mu Yaoyao to break free from. She could handle the princess like a hawk picking up a chicken.

Once she seized Mu Yaoyao, the girl’s fate was sealed.

Granny Xiong’s fingers moved swiftly and the rope made a whooshing sound in her hands. She was almost too fast for the eye to follow. When the others were finally able to see what she was doing, Mu Yaoyao had been tied up like a mummy.

“You —”

Mu Yaoyao tried to speak, but the fierce Granny Xiong stuffed a big walnut into her mouth.

That successfully shut her up right away.

“Mhm —” Mu Yaoyao really burst into tears now.

Lady Mu gave Lou Yue a nod, then left with Mu Yaoyao.

Everyone was astonished.

Lady Mu was so merciless.

That was rather humiliating for Princess Mu, wasn’t it?

However, Lou Yue watched the lady leave with an appreciative look in her eyes.

Lady Mu had done the right thing.

Mu Yaoyao offended His Royal Highness, and the only thing the Mu family could do now was to accept any punishment the crown prince gave them and act as humbly as they could.

But was Lord Mu going to be alright after what Lady Mu did?

As a matter of fact —

Shortly afterward, the imperial censors accused him of some random misconduct and impeached him, and he was downgraded to an earl.

For that, Lord Mu wanted to kill Mu Yaoyao!

Of course, we’ll talk about that later.

Ye Yafei’s father came to pick her up.

Sir Ye was a third-ranked official and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.

When he learned that Ye Yafei had offended His Royal Highness, he almost passed out on the spot and was only able to steady himself with much difficulty.

He wished Ye Yafei wasn’t his daughter, but that wasn’t an option. Hence, he had to come here and get her.

As soon as he reached the entrance of World Tower, he met Lady Mu with the mummy-like Princess Mu, and his face drained of all color at the sight.

Even the Mu family had to succumb to the crown prince’s fury and punish their own daughter; what other choice did the Ye family have?

Hence, as soon as Sir Ye saw Ye Yafei —

“Slap, slap, slap —”

He slapped her repeatedly right away. He was genuinely infuriated!

Ye Yafei was dumbfounded…

Sir Ye was also sounding out the attitude of the new head of World Tower.

Things wouldn’t be so bad if she stopped him.

However, Lou Yue simply stood there with her hands behind her back with an indifferent look on her face, as if she was watching a show.

Sir Ye’s heart sank…

He realized that Lou Yue wouldn’t frown even if he beat Ye Yafei to death here…

“Let’s go!”

Sir Ye took Ye Yafei back in fury.

Ye Yafei’s miserable days had only just begun.

Jun Wuxia watched what happened to Ye Yafei and Mu Yaoyao with great trepidation.

As a matter of fact, she still hadn’t figured out…

What had she done to offend her brother?

“I want to see my brother!” Jun Wuxia couldn’t sit still anymore. She stared at Lou Yue and made her demand.

Lou Yue said indifferently, “Your Royal Highness, no one would dare disturb your brother at this moment.”

“Why?!” Jun Wuxia pressed.

Lou Yue only shrugged. She knew exactly why, but she didn’t want to tell the princess.

Jun Wuxia was infuriated by Lou Yue’s indifference.

But her anger was futile. Jun Linyuan ignored her and even his employee wouldn’t follow her orders.

The more Jun Wuxia thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked the table hard.
