Black Belly Wife

Chapter 4

Peach Blossom Blooms Randomly

Miss, the workers went on strike, they are gathering in front of our house, the door is crowded with people.

Murong Yun Shu was playing chess with her left and right hand to kill time, as her hand shook, a black piece has fallen into the trap. Checkmate, the white piece has won!

Murong Yun Shu sighed lightly, originally she intended to make it a draw game.

Miss! Luer was so anxious that her head is burning with smoke, she stomped her feet and said: Miss, you really are the emperor is not worried, but his eunuchs are worried to death!

Is that how you use that idiom? Murong Yun Shu stared her with disagreement, and she said seriously: Even if I become the empress, you cant become my eunuch.

. Luer was speechless.

Ive never imagined that Yun Shu would have this big ambition. A deep mans voice passed through from the end of the corridor that connected to the hall.

Cousin brother! Murong Yun Shu was surprised, she abandoned the chess board and ran towards the owner of the voice, she excitedly stood three inches in front of him: Brother, what are you doing here?

Hua Ling Tian spoiled Murong Yun Shu by gently rubbing her head with a smile: Little dummy, such big event happened on you. Of course I must come.

But the empress dowager

As Murong Yun Shu mentioned about empress dowager, Hua Ling Tians face turned dark and coldly said: She cant control this matter! Hua Liang Tian said coldly.

Murong Yun Shu knew that Hua Ling Tian does not want her to mention about the empress dowager, so she changed the subject: Is there anything new in the capital? Ive never been there for four years, I missed it.

Not much has changed, why not you see it for yourself? Hua Ling Tian showed her a gentle smile, cherish her with his both hands: The reason I visited you this time is that I intended to take you to the palace.

Even the calmly Murong Yun Shu was stunned by the palace word, she panicky drew out her hands and took few steps behind: Why, why would you want to take me to the palace?

Since uncle has passed away and Mingjian Manor has broken the betrothal, of course I will be taking care of you. As Hua Ling Tian mentioned about Mingjian Manor, his eyes were seemingly flashed a few strands of cold light.

Did you mean, you want to take me back to the palace totake care of me? Murong Yun Shu felt a little dizzy, she hoped the matter doesnt go as what she has just thought.

Yes. Hua Ling Tian once again held Murong Yun Shus hand tightly, his eyes were so sincere as if he was dead serious: Although I cant give you the status of crown princess now, but you must believe me, once I have become the emperor, I will surely make you as my Empress, the only Empress.

Murong Yun Shu faced with such romantic words, she started to feel dizzier, her heart was filled with an unknown stream, couldnt distinguish whether she felt moved in tears or touched in heart. But one thing for sure, she really liked him, rely on him, being taken care by him. However, is this enough to be the reason for her to marry him?

Murong Yun Shu wasnt an affectionate person, last time when she was betrothed to Fang Hong Fei, she never thought of whether her feelings toward Hua Ling Tian was only the sentiment of siblings, and nowshe couldnt figure it out too.

As Murong Yun Shu pondered for some time, she finally talked softly: Im sorry, brother, I cant follow you to the palace.

Hua Ling Tian obviously did not expect that she would reject him so quickly, he was stunned for half a second to recover: You dont have to reply so fast

I cant. Murong Yun Shu looked as she scared she will regret her decision, she hastily said: I cant follow you to the palace, because I have a betrothal

Isnt it broken already?

It has broken, but I have new betrothal.

Hua Ling Tians face has gone colder, he deeply asked: Dont tell me the rumor was true? Did you really accepted the marriage offer from Mojiao Sects leader?

Murong Yun Shu was shocked that he knew she had betrothal with the Mojiao, but she suddenly thought it wasnt strange since lately even her little sneeze would pass on as a rumor in every street, especially betrothal was an important matter. Since he came to Jin Ling province, it wasnt weird for him to know about the betrothal.

I declined his marriage offer She corrected: But I sent people to offer him marriage.

What?! Hua Ling Tian was so shocked that his chin almost fell down. He knew his cousin sister was a unique person in talking and doing things, if he didnt know her personality, he wont be able to understand her logic, but this time its way too absurd.

Fang Hong Fei agreed to marry into Murong Sect in the past.

Did you mean if someone wants to marry you, then he has to marry into Murong Sect?

Yes. Murong Yun Shu nodded her head: The eldest daughter will not marry to any household was the tradition of Murong House.

You are not someone who follows tradition. Hua Ling Tian doesnt believe the reason that Murong Yun Shu betrothed to Mojiao Sects leader was only that the opposite side agreed to marry into Murong House.

Which is why I cant follow you to the palace.

Although its a full circle of speaking chicken with someone speaking duck, but Hua Ling Tian seems to understand the real meaning behind those words.

Hua Ling Tian pondered for some time, suddenly he asked: What if I dont want to be a crown prince anymore?

Murong Yun Shu was shocked, but later she calmly said: It will be a great news if you dont want to be a crown prince, however do not say the matter was because of me. The responsibility is too big, I cant bear with it.

Hua Ling Tian smiled bitterly, Murong Yun Shu doesnt want to bear the infamy to be with him, and he couldnt give up the kingdom to be with her. He and she, were destined to be big brother and little sister. One day if you change your mind, the big eastern palace door will always open to welcome you.

Murong Yun Shu frowned her eyebrows: What about the backdoor?

No backdoor.

Then I wont be entering the eastern palace.

. Hua Ling Tian felt like his head had rolled onto the ground, she really doesnt read the atmosphere.

Murong Yun Shu didnt know why Hua Ling Tian looked devastated, she blinked her eyes and pointed the chess board not far away, she said: Do you want to play chess?

Hua Ling Tian put his hand on his forehead: Allow me to remind you, Murong Courtyard House will soon burst with crowded people. She really should take a look, the scene was so huge that even he himself was impressed. He must say, a kingdom with big houses really had a lot of people.

Murong Yun Shu does not have any reaction, her eyebrows moved up and said: Dont worry, the walls are solid, it wont fall easily.

Hua Ling Tian was so speechless that he couldnt say anything to refute, he ignored her complacency and said: I heard they were coming for the salary.

Hmm. Murong Yun Shu lightly answered, she looked up to observe the sky.

Uncle has just passed away for a month, how is it possible that the overdue salary rolled so big till this extent?

Murong Yun Shu continued looking at the sky, her voice was so soft like it was unreal: My father must have predicted his departure, so he exchanged his silver taels for paper money to become the richest man in the underworld.

Have you looked for where the silver taels have been spent?

Ive only left Yamas confession. *Yama: King of Hell

Looks like youre almost finished with the investigation. Do you need my help?

No. Murong Yun Shu shook her head lightly, suddenly she saw her butler ran quickly towards her with an expression of dazed zombie, there was still some distance between them but the butler started to shout: Miss, bad things happened!

Murong Yun Shu nodded her head to indicate she heard his words, she waited for the butler to walk closer, then she asked slowly: Did the workers start to snatch things?

No.

Then what are you hasting for?

The butler wiped his sweat with his sleeve: Outside There are weird people at outside.

Weirder than you?

Not weirder than meWeirder than meNo Im not weird The butler lifted his sleeve up again, trying to hide his whining expression.

You still say youre not weird. Murong Yun Shu lightly stared at him, slowly walked out to the hall.

Luer hurried to follow up Murong Yun Shu and asked: To be honest, miss, do you already have a plan in your heart?

Perhaps.

Whats the plan? Luer face was happy, finally she does not need to worry about sleeping in the streets.

Go with the flow.

. This plan really fits Murong Yun Shus style.

When Murong Yun Shu arrived at the hall, she saw two long lines of armed men with red clothes standing from the house until the streets, cant even see the end of the line. Those workers who went on strikes had stepped back to the corner to watch a drama. When the host appeared, the scene started to heat up with sounds.

Murong Sect, overdue our salary, providence would not forgive, heaven will not tolerate

Not sure is it because Murong Yun Shu has seen a lot of weird things lately, she realized she had become calmer than ever, she quietly stared at the long lines of red clothes men, then her sight aimed at the workers who dared to shout but dare not to act rashly and said: The slogan doesnt rhyme, all of you go back and think of a slogan that rhymes then come again.

Suddenly, the whole scene has gone to silence. All of the workers opened their mouths wide like a duck egg shape.

Does Miss Murongs brain had problems?

Then their salary.doesnt have hope to receive anymore?!

Soon, Murong Sect, overdue our salary, providence would not forgive, heaven will not tolerate the voices were as loud as thunder.

Murong Yun Shu did not hide nor argue with them, she stood at the door with patience listening to them shouting, until they feel bored and stopped shouting, she opened her mouth once again: Whenever you think of a rhyming slogan, whenever Ill pay the salary.

Once again, the scene had gone silent.

Cough cough. Hua Ling Tian cant bear to watch it anymore, he took her place instead and said: Everyone go home first, come back after three days to receive your money.

Do you think we are dumb! Who knows whether youll pay us after three days?

I guarantee- Hua Ling Tian wanted to talk, but interrupted by another sound.

We the Mojiao Sect guaran- tee the word wasnt finished yet, all the workers has gone to thin air, some of them ran and crawled to make themselves disappear from the scene.

Hua Liang Tian was shocked by the sudden change, he was surprised how Mo Jiao Cults reputation could persuade people easily.

Murong Yun Shu moved her eyebrows, she turned around to face with the people who talked just now and asked: All of you are.

Betrothal gifts.

These betrothal gifts are toounusual.

Our leader said, our Mojiao marriage mustnt be casual, we need to prepare ten miles of red betrothal gifts.

Do ten miles of red betrothal gifts really mean ten miles of men in red shirt? Murong Yun Shu was flabbergasted and said: Actually, I prefer real gold and silver more. The whole universe should have known she Murong Yun Shu was lacking money!

From here revolving the streets until the city door, each person is 1-meter-tall, there are 10 thousands of people, together there are 10 miles. East Guardian was proud of himself and smiled: These people are the few of the best masters in Mojiao, their value exceeds ten million!

Thats right, they can help you make big money. South Guardian chimed in.

Murong Yun Shu pondered a while, she asked seriously: You said their value exceed ten million, do you mean by gold or silver?

.

Dont tell me you meant ten million copper coins?

Butler. Murong Yun Shu faced the butler standing beside her and asked: Where is the slave market in Jin Ling Province?

Uhh The butler lifted his sleeve up again, serving such unusual mistress, he felt he doesnt have the face to meet people anymore, even when he died he doesnt have the face to meet a ghost!

You can send them to the capital to sell, it has a higher demand. Hua Ling Tian ignored the red shirt mens murderous intention eye staring at him, he interrupted the butler and said.

Is that so? Murong Yun Shu pouted her lips as if she was thinking of something, after some time she asked: Where in the capital I can sell them at once? Selling them in a few batch is too troublesome.

Hua Ling Tians mouth went up, his face showed a weird smile like an executioner: The palace.

As his words came out, those men who took sword has drawn their sword out, those men who had hammer lifted their hammer up, they stared at Hua Ling Tian in sync as if they wanted to kill him.
