King Wu Jun of Lingnan was followed by seven or eight followers. He walked into the yard with swagger as if he was entering his own home. Wei Lan behind him winked at him.

Jiang Muxia understood and nodded slightly to indicate that she would handle it properly.

After she asked everyone to sit down, she realized that Zhang Yi, who was originally sitting at the table, was nowhere to be seen.

She was surprised that in such a short period of time, this person disappeared from her side without anyone noticing.

"Hu Zi, Da Qi, take the children to the forest behind the hill and see if you can catch any rabbits." She deliberately found an excuse to send them away. She couldn't afford to offend Wu Jun, a god. If the children offended him, they would be in trouble.

"Wei Yi, they are all children, you go with them." Wei Lan winked at the servant beside him, and he hurriedly followed Hu Zi and the others to the back post.

"Miss Jiang is very clever. She hooked up with Tang Zhongbai. The value of a little peasant girl has risen sharply. She can even eat watermelons!"

Jiang Muxia smiled calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. You went to my house with all your effort, you wouldn't do it just to compliment me. If you have something to say, just say it."

He was a high and mighty king of a different surname, who had obtained such a high position of prince by relying on the influence of his ancestors and his own military exploits. How could he be interested in a woman from the lower class who crossed the class with her good looks? In his eyes, women were just toys. When she liked them, she would give them everything, but when she didn't like them, they were worse than the mud in the toilet. He didn't believe that Tang Zhongbai would be sincere to her, so after the assassination of Tang Zhongbai failed, he wanted to drag Jiang Muxia into the water.

In his eyes, these women from the countryside had extremely narrow horizons and could be easily bribed with a little favor, and Jiang Muxia was no exception.

"Why don't you do me a small favor and I'll give you wealth and glory."

"Oh. How rich?"

Wu Jun didn't expect her to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and smiled, "One thousand taels of silver is fine."

Jiang Muxia pursed her lips and nodded, "Yeah, quite a lot. Why don't you tell me what you want me to do, so that I can respond to you."

Wu Jun gave a wink to the people around him, and all his followers retreated to the outside of the yard.

Wu Jun then whispered, "Help me kill Tang Zhongbai. After you do it, I will give you another 100 taels of gold."

Jiang Muxia narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself that this old villain had not given up even after his assassination attempt failed, and now he was targeting her.

Jiang Muxia despised his mean behavior in her heart, but she didn't show it.

She smiled and asked him, "How can you be sure that I will agree to you?"

Wu Jun narrowed his eyes, "Oh, isn't it?"

"I, Jiang Muxia, can abandon my dignity for money. I can abandon my relatives who don't care about me, and even kill those who hurt me behind my back. The only thing I can't do is to throw away my conscience and hurt someone who is so good to me." Her eyes were firm and full of indifference.

"Okay." Wu Jun stopped pestering and said with a smile, "It's noon now, Miss Jiang, don't you want to treat me to lunch?"

Jiang Muxia made a gesture to see the guest off, "My humble abode is too simple, so I won't keep you here."

Wu Jun sat there without moving, intending to rely on her, "It's okay, I've had enough of the delicacies from land and sea, it's nice to change the taste occasionally, thank you Miss Jiang."

Jiang Muxia stood up and said, "Okay, you can eat whatever I cook."

She came to the kitchen and looked around. There were still some leftovers from the morning.

Watery millet porridge, pickled shredded radish, and a few black steamed buns.

The corners of her lips curled up, and she came up with a bad idea. She poked open the stove, put the porridge pot on it, put a bamboo steamer on the pot, put the steamed bread on it, and covered the pot. She took down a basket, went to the yard to pick some vegetables, fried some vegetables, and the lunch for Wu Jun was ready.

When the food was served on the table, Jiang Muxia pretended to be sad and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty. Our family is poor and these are the only food we have. Otherwise, please make do with it."

Wei Lan's face was like an overturned dye vat, colorful and quite brilliant. Wu Jun's followers scolded her, "How dare you let the prince eat these inedible things." They were about to arrest her and question her.

Jiang Muxia glared back, "Your master doesn't mind, why are you yelling here? This is what we ordinary people eat every day, why can't you swallow it? What, do you think you are nobler than the common people?"

The follower was choked by her and stared blankly, unable to speak.

"Back off, I think it's good."

Wu Jun didn't show any disgust at all. He grabbed a black steamed bun, broke it in half, put some shredded radish in the middle, and ate it sweetly with millet porridge.

He ate three in a row, swallowed the last mouthful of soup, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands.

He acted very satisfied and said to his followers behind him, "Not bad. When I was on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, I ate mixed flour steamed bread that was frozen into hard lumps. It was nothing compared to these hot mixed flour steamed bread with pickles and millet porridge. It was like a meal for the gods."

Seeing that he was full and satisfied, Jiang Muxia had no time to chat with him. The children stayed on the hill and did not dare to come down without her signal.

She is still waiting to eat the braised lion head made by Daqi!

She ordered him to leave again, but Wu Jun still had no intention of leaving. He suggested that Jiang Muxia take him to Beiyangang for a visit.

"King of Lingnan, please don't go too far. You've already eaten and drunk. Are you planning to rely on me? I'm a country girl. I don't dare to accompany the prince. Please leave as soon as possible."

Seeing that he refused to leave, she started to chase him away.

Wei Lan knew her temper a little, and was afraid that she would really get angry and start fighting with King of Lingnan's men, so she stepped out to mediate.

"I am also very familiar with this place. Why don't I accompany His Majesty on a tour?"

The attendant glared at him and cursed, "Who do you think you are? Get out of here."

Jiang Muxia finally understood by now that he didn't want her to lead the tour for them, but was trying to ruin her reputation and even destroy her.

It's really disgusting that a prince has such a dirty mind and is full of evil intentions.

"If Your Majesty wants to go out for fun, that's very easy. I happen to be free, so please don't make things difficult for my fiancée." Tang Zhongbai jumped off his horse and walked towards them with big strides.

Wu Jun made a surprised expression, looked at him and then at Jiang Muxia, "You two are actually an engaged couple, I thought it was just..."

"It's not too late to know now. It's really inconvenient for a woman like her. Can I take the prince around for a walk now?" Tang Zhongbai looked indifferent, but his words were unquestionable.

Wu Jun flicked his sleeves, sighed, and finally stood up. "Don't bother me. I've been walking for most of the day and I'm really tired. I'll go back first." After saying that, he left the villa with a group of people.

After sending the plague god away, the two sat under the tree in silence for a long time.

"You should be more careful when you go out to do things. Wu Jun just said that he would give me money to kill you. Although he was joking, you and I both know that this is what he really meant."

"This is in Suanzao County, he can't cause any trouble. Calculating the time, brother should have presented the memorial to the emperor. He is a great concern to the emperor, and after the incident with the large barge, he will definitely not be allowed to stay."

"Okay. You can stay for dinner. We haven't had a good chat together for a long time."

Tang Zhongbai held her hand and said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you say."
