The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

"Maybe because..."

"Because why?" Du Ran asked, tilting his head.

"Nothing, I don't know. Maybe it's just to annoy you, Majesty." Mu Zhou laughed.

Du Ran rolled his eyes: "They are so boring!"

"So what should we do next? With the order from Her Majesty, I will drive them out directly!" Mu Zhou has been ready to take action for a long time.

Du Ran pondered for a long time and shook his head: "Forget it, don't tell anyone about your investigation of her. I will keep the evidence for now."

Mu Zhou was puzzled: "My lady, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything. The fact that Meng Wenjun is Meng Yuan's illegitimate son was acknowledged and announced by the emperor himself. Once we announce the evidence, let's not talk about whether the emperor will believe it. Do you think he will be embarrassed? If he can even make mistakes about the royal heirs, how can this emperor be a wise ruler? Does he still have prestige in front of the civil and military officials?" Du Ran analyzed solemnly: "What if he puts the blame on us, accusing us of fraud and slandering the royal family, and sentences us to death?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to kill the Emperor as well? Judging from what happened to Meng Wenjun, he is not a wise ruler. Killing him will get rid of this evil for the people!" Mu Zhou felt vicious.

Du Ran quickly covered Mu Zhou's mouth in fear, then carefully observed the surroundings and whispered: "How can you say such a thing? No matter how powerful your kung fu is, can you defeat the thousands of imperial guards? Watch your head, don't dare to say anything nonsense!"

“Tsk~~” Mu Zhou didn’t take the royal family seriously at all. He sneered and continued, “If you don’t consider hidden weapons, I will fight one by one, or two by two!”

"You're just bragging!" Du Ran curled his lips: "Two hands can't resist four punches. You can beat Qi Heng, but for the rest, you'd better keep a low profile!"

Du Ran secretly thanked his lucky stars that he didn't bring Mu Zhou with him when he entered the palace last time, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Mu Zhou asked casually, "My Lady, have you been cheated out of money?"

Du Ran asked in surprise: "How did you know? You are so well-informed?"

Mu Zhou flicked his hair like his signature and said arrogantly: "I'm not bragging, everyone in the martial arts world is my friend!"

Du Ran really didn't want to deal with such a cocky person.

"Here you go!" Mu Zhou took a heavy package from the bed and placed it on the table in front of Du Ran.

"What is this?" Du Ran took a step back in fear. She didn't dare to touch the package for a moment, fearing that it was the head of the liar. Mu Zhou would definitely do such a thing.

Mu Zhou opened the package swiftly, and the white silver came into view. A rough estimate showed that there were more than one hundred taels of silver.

"Mu Zhou? You went to rob?" Du Ran exclaimed.

Mu Zhou was somewhat helpless: "My Lady, in your eyes I am a hooligan?"

"I did not mean that……"

"I heard a man outside the city proudly saying that he had swindled more than one hundred taels of silver from a fool. He also said that the deceived person claimed to be a miracle doctor. I thought it might be Liu Xihua, so I beat him up and took the money back." Mu Zhou described it lightly, as if it was as simple as picking up a few stones on the roadside.

Du Ran was surprised and delighted: "Mu Zhou, you are really my benefactor! I thought there was no way to catch this liar once he left the city, how come you are so powerful!"

"That's right! Don't you see who I, Mu Zhou, am!" Du Ran's praise just now made Mu Zhou even more proud. He tilted his head and smiled sideways, like a little gangster who accidentally did a good deed on the roadside and was being praised by the police.

"But, in case I'm not cheated, this money..." Du Ran asked happily while holding his heavy silver in his arms.

"It doesn't matter. I took it from the liar anyway. I just took back the liar's ill-gotten gains!" Mu Zhou said seriously.

Du Ran just asked casually and didn't listen to what Mu Zhou said at all. He was just busy having fun.

"Don't tell anyone else about getting the money back from the scammer. Don't let Doctor Liu know about it. He should be taught a lesson when he was cheated and learn to be more careful." Du Ran instructed.

"Don't worry, your majesty. I definitely won't tell!" Mu Zhou promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, you must be tired after a day's journey, let's take a rest!" Du Ran said as she tried to walk out holding the silver. Mu Zhou stopped her and said, "Madam, are you leaving just like that?"

"if not?"

"Didn't the people in the palace ask questions when they saw you carrying the silver? Didn't they become suspicious?" Mu Zhou asked, pointing at the conspicuous silver.

Du Ran frowned and smiled helplessly: "Look at me, I'm so happy!"

"I'll leave it with you first. Find a chance to deposit the money in a bank!" Du Ran instructed.

Du Ran was just about to step out of the door when he suddenly came back mysteriously and closed the door, causing Mu Zhou to grab his clothes in a defensive manner.

"Why are you doing this?" Du Ran asked, pointing at Mu Zhou's hand on his chest.

"My queen, what are you doing? You look like a female hooligan now!" Mu Zhou took another step back.

Hearing Mu Zhou's words, Du Ran simply looked him up and down like a female hooligan. After a while, she felt it was boring and waved her hand in boredom: "Who would molest you? What can I molest? I want to tell you a secret, you must not tell anyone!"

Mu Zhou nodded and pricked up his ears curiously.

"You promise?!"

"I promise!" Mu Zhou swore.

Du Ran nodded in relief, then whispered in his ear: "When I was selling the rubbish in Meng Yuan's study a few days ago, I found a painting. Guess how much it's worth?"

"Fifty taels!" Mu Zhou guessed without hesitation.

Du Ran suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter, then felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly restrained himself and once again mysteriously stretched out ten fingers.

"Twelve?"

"One hundred thousand taels!" Du Ran opened his mouth exaggeratedly.

After hearing this, Mu Zhou thought Du Ran was joking, so he asked jokingly: "What kind of painting can be worth 100,000 taels? A painting made of gold can't be that expensive, madam, don't be fooled again."

Du Ran corrected him seriously, "You've heard of Jiang Yizi, right? His last flower and bird painting! It can be said to be priceless!"

Of course Mu Zhou had heard of Jiang Yizi, but it wasn't that outrageous, right? He asked tentatively, "When did the queen learn to paint?"

"Xu Xiao understood, but I didn't. I almost sold it as junk. Fortunately, he gave it to me and told me about it. I never thought Meng Yuan would leave behind such a valuable thing."

"Yu Chengfeng told you?" Mu Zhou's face showed a hint of alertness.

Du Ran nodded, then looked at Mu Zhou with a reproachful look: "Don't doubt it just because Xiao Yu said it. You are too prejudiced against him!"

"Your Majesty, that's not my prejudice, it's my true insight!" Mu Zhou said solemnly.

"Believe it or not, the one hundred thousand taels are hanging in my room. If the market is good, I will sell it. If the market is not good, I will keep it as a family heirloom. It's not a loss anyway!" Du Ran smiled and fantasized about himself being rich and luxurious wearing gold and silver one day.
