Chapter 59: Resignation

  After some thought, Xue Lengyu still opened the window, and the bright sunlight poured in. Looking out, there was no longer a figure of Shu Li in the courtyard.

  Hurriedly went to see Li Mu's room again, but the door was closed and nothing unusual could be seen.

  At this time, Li Mu had already gotten up. Even if he was the master of a wealthy family, he didn't have the habit of sleeping in late. And because he was a prince, his education from a young age was even more strict. What time to get up, what time to practice martial arts, everything was well-organized and reasonable.

  It was exactly when Li Mu got up and finished washing that he usually had something urgent to do, and it was at this time that he would look for Li Mu to settle accounts.

  He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He knew that Li Mu would definitely agree to his request, it was just that after all these years, he had never gone against Li Mu's wishes before, and now he was doing so for a woman. In his heart, there was a hint of unease.

  "Come in." Li Mu seemed to know that Shu Li would come and almost responded as soon as the knock on the door sounded.

  Pushing open the door and walking in, Shu Li saw Li Mu sitting at the table as usual, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a calm expression.

  "Your Highness." Shu Lidao said: "I have a request for you."

  "En." Li Mu didn't raise his eyes, just grunted in response.

  Shu Li Dao: "I'd like to request Lord Wang's permission for Xue Leng Yu to leave the manor."

  Li Mu took a sip of tea: "You came to find me early in the morning just for this matter."

  "Yes." Shu Li Dao: "Please instruct, Your Highness."

  Li Mu said lightly: "You are the manager of Fengyuan, and a maid's transfer is such a small matter, does it need my approval?"

  Shu Li's heart was delighted, and he said: "Yes, I will take care of it myself."

  Li Mu said so, then Xue Lengyu's everything was handed over to Shu Li, and he would no longer ask about it.

  As for Xue Lengyu, Li Mu was not unmoved, but to him, using an insignificant woman to win over a loyal minister was undoubtedly a costly deal. Moreover, Xue Lengyu had no feelings for herself and was only staying by his side out of obligation, which would eventually become boring.

  Shu Li walked out of Li Mu's room and headed straight to Xue Leng Yu's place. That maid had already gotten up, earlier when he glanced over, the door was quietly closed, it seemed that Xue Leng Yu hadn't slept all night, waiting for news of leaving the mansion early.

  Yes, a woman who yearns for freedom would certainly not want to stay in this oppressive place for even one more moment.

  Xue Lengyu looked out from the window, guessing that Shu Li had entered Li Mu's room. After a while, she saw the door open and close again, and the white figure came out from inside, walking towards her own room.

  Xue Lengyu's heart suddenly tensed up, looking at Shu Li's face, still unable to see any expression. But his eyes were staring straight at the window, as if he knew he was being sneaked a peek at.

  With a gritted tooth and a clenched fist, Xue Lengyu couldn't care about being reserved or not anymore. He went ahead and opened the door, rushing out to meet Shu Li several steps away, looking at his face with full of expectation, saying: "How is it?"

  Looking at Xue Lengyu's impulsive behavior with a subtle smile, he slowly said: "The king said that the personnel arrangement of Fengyuan is up to me."

  Xue Lengyu furrowed her brow and said in a daze: "What does that mean? Is it an agreement or not?"

  She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking at the woman who usually seemed quite clever yet couldn't even understand such a simple phrase. Shu Li said, "Even if I'm in charge, you only need to ask for my opinion and that's all."

  "Really!" Xue Lengyu's heart was delighted and she cheered out loud. She finally understood what she had heard.

  Although the time spent in the palace was actually only a few days, the events that took place during these few days were unprecedented in Xue Lengyu's past decade or so, truly making every day feel like a year, and every step feel like walking on thin ice.

  Now that I can finally leave the palace, the heart that was as dead as ashes yesterday has reignited. The things I thought about in the second half of last night also have a plan to try.

  After Xue Lengyu let out a cheer, she stood there with a smile in her eyes, and Shu Li couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in his heart. He spoke softly: "Is there anything you want to pick up? I'll send you back."

  Xue Lengyu came back to her senses and hastily said, "Nothing's wrong with the things, but I need to go see the princess. Firstly, to bid farewell, and secondly, there are some matters that need to be discussed."

  This is also right. Shu Li said: "I'll go with you."

  "Good." Xue Lengyu said casually.

  Today's mood is exceptionally good, and even looking at Shu Li seems more pleasing to the eye than yesterday. It's just that my mind is fully focused on how to make money after leaving the house, and as for matters of the heart, I haven't thought about them so deliberately.

  Shu Li accompanied Xue Leng Yu on the way to the Spring Garden, but he was always cold and didn't know what to say to a girl, wanting Xue Leng Yu to take the lead. However, Xue Leng Yu's mind was preoccupied with thinking about how to make a profit from the queen, a super-rich family, and had no time to care about Shu Li's feelings.

  The two of them walked in silence from Fengyuan Garden to Miquan Garden.

  "With a humble identity, it's inconvenient for me to enter the princess's courtyard, so I'll stop at the door and say: 'Leng Yu, I'm not convenient to come in here, just wait for you here.'"

  "Alright." Xue Lengyu understood: "I'll just say a few words to the queen and come out soon."

  Having said that, Xue Lengyu picked up her skirt and ran quickly towards the inner courtyard. The little maids in the courtyard also knew she was special in the eyes of the princess, so they didn't stop her and let her enter the courtyard by herself.

  Xu Lengyu watched from behind, a bitter smile spreading across the corner of his mouth. Xu Lengyu's eagerness to leave the Wang Manor was so pressing that it seemed he had an extremely bad impression of Li Muo. Even towards himself, even if he felt grateful for the help, whether he could really open up his heart in the end, no one knew.

  Xue Lengyu was familiar with the place and rushed straight to Wang Fei's house. The door of the house was half open, but Lan'er was standing at the entrance.

  "Lan'er caught sight of Xue Lengyu and couldn't help but ask: 'How did you come here?'"

  Xue Lengyu smiled and said: "Has Your Highness gotten up? I have something to say."

  "It's not just getting up, I've already exercised." Lan'er smiled and said.

  It seems that in order to win back Li Mu's favor, the princess is also making an effort. Xue Lengyu smiled even more happily: "Then can I go in now?"

  Lan'er said: "Who is inconvenient for you, and the mother is also convenient. This morning, she was still muttering, wanting to go and call you over."

  Lan'er said as she pushed open the door and poked her head inside: "Your Ladyship, look who's here."

  Xue Lengyu flashed into the house, and Wang Fei smiled: "Leng Yu, how did you think of coming here? I was just about to go find you."

  Xue Lengyu stood before the queen and said, "Lan'er told me that you have been practicing according to my method these past few days. I wonder how you feel, Your Majesty."

  The princess smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to talk about. On the first day, after all that commotion in the morning, my whole body ached so much it was unbearable, but on the second day, it wasn't as difficult. This morning, I actually felt light and relaxed all over, and Lan'er and the others said that this method seems to be really effective. Following the diet you provided, although I don't eat as freely as before, my skin tone has improved. Leng Yu, it seems that with time, I can really recover my figure from before."

  "As long as you can persist, not only can you recover, but you will also be even better than before." Xue Lengyu said.

  The princess said: "I believe you. Leng Yu, from now on, whatever you say, I will do."

  The princess's trust made Xue Lengyu feel a little relieved, but some things still needed to be said. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Your Highness, I came today to bid you farewell."

  Today we're fighting for three more watches, our Cold Jade, is finally going to leave the Wang Fu. The outside world is even more wonderful, the outside handsome guys are even more real.
