Chapter 139: Buying Candied Haws for Qing Bao to Ward Off Ev

opened the jewelry box, took out the red cloth and unfolded it. It was a jade bracelet, emerald green throughout, with a vibrant yet serene color. At first glance, it was clearly very valuable.She rea..."Miss Mu Xing."

Mu Xing ran into school and suddenly heard someone calling her name.

She came to a halt and turned her head.

On one side of the school gate, a woman stood gracefully. She wore a white blouse paired with a misty blue skirt, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders. Her makeup was light and elegant, with soft brows and eyes. She held a bag in both hands, letting it hang at her sides, giving off an aura of gentleness and sophistication.

Mu Xing sized her up. "Who are you"

"My name is Tang Ruowan, I am the elder sister of Tang Yingying."

Tang Ruowan introduced herself while subtly sizing up Mu Xing.

Her face was as fair and smooth as sheep's fat jade, her eyes sparkling and captivating. Her nose was high and straight, and her lips were glossy.

This face perfectly blends innocence and sexiness, two completely opposite qualities, creating a unique aura.

She has a slender and graceful figure, an unparalleled beauty.

No man wouldn't love such a face, but as intelligent and profound as Fu Lingxiao is, his liking for her definitely wouldn't be merely superficial because of her looks.

She was very curious where this girl truly attracted Fu Lingxiao's attention, but she didn't have the energy to investigate right now. She had more important things to do.

Tang Ruo Wan looked at Mu Xing, with a slightly apologetic and slight smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, may I ask Miss Mu Xing if you have time We can find a place to sit down."

Mu Xing was a little surprised.

The person in front of her was too gentle and polite, making it impossible for her to connect him with the arrogant and obnoxious Tang Yingying.

"Military training is about to begin, if you have anything to say, now's the time."

Tang Ruowan got straight to the point, "I'm being presumptuous by coming here. I want to ask Miss Mu Xing to plead with Mr. Fu for me, and please ask Mr. Fu to show mercy and let Yingying off."

Mu Xing didn't know about Tang Yingying being imprisoned. She blinked in confusion, "What happened Why is Aunt Tang in jail"

As for Mu Xing, Tang Yingying's actions were truly disgraceful. Tang Ruowan naturally didn't dare to explain the ins and outs, she only said: "Yingying is now in prison because she did something wrong and displeased Mr. Fu. If Mr. Fu doesn't let go, Yingying will only be able to stay in prison for her entire life."

"Then you should go to your uncle and ask for his forgiveness. What are you doing looking for me"

Last time, Principal Sun was like this too.

Mu Xing felt that these people were very strange. It was Little Uncle's decision, so why did they come to her to plead for mercy

Tang Ruowan explained, "Mr. Fu did this because of the conflict between Yingying and you. Only you can ask Mr. Fu for mercy, and then he will let Yingying go."

Mu Xing raised her eyebrow slightly, “I won’t plead for Tang Yingying. My uncle does anything he does for a reason.”

Having said that, he continued to run towards the school.

During this time, the Tang family had mobilized all their connections, but they still couldn't save Tang Yingying. With no other options left, after a family discussion, they decided to have her come forward and plead with Mu Xing for mercy.

For her younger sister, Tang Ruowan no longer cared about the decorum expected of the number one noblewoman in the imperial capital.

Chasing after her in high heels, she stopped Mu Xing and said, "Miss Mu Xing, Yingying is a bit spoiled and willful, but she's not a bad person at heart. I hope Miss Mu Xing can give her a chance to reform. For her previous offense against you, as her elder sister, I apologize to you on her behalf."

She spoke, pulling a jewelry box from her bag. It was black velvet, exquisite and high-end; just by looking at its exterior, one could tell that the contents were priceless.

She shoved the box into Mu Xing's hand, "This is my apology, Miss Mu Xing, please accept it."

"I don't want."

Mu Xing returned the box to Tang Ruowan.

Tang Ruowan didn't accept, stepped back, and pleaded: "Miss Mu Xing, please."

Without giving Mu Xing a chance to refuse, he turned and left.

Mu Xing was just about to chase after him when her phone rang from inside her schoolbag. She reached for it, and it was Shen Qiong calling.

Little star, why haven't you come yet

"I'm at the school gate, I'll be there soon. Wait for me in the locker room."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xing looked up, but Tang Ruowan was already gone. She could only put the box away for now.

Go to the locker room.

Shen Qiong was already in her military training uniform, leaning against the locker, staring blankly, her fingers unconsciously scrolling across her phone screen, a silly smile on her face.

Mu Xing had never seen Shen Qiong like this before, and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Qiongbao, are you alright"

Shen Qiong came back to her senses, looking at Mu Xing blankly, "I'm fine What's wrong"

Mu Xing responded with a hesitant "oh," then opened the cabinet and took out her military training uniform, going into the changing room. When she came out in her uniform, Shen Qiong had reverted to her usual foolish demeanor, occasionally giggling with a "he he he."

He looked as if he had been possessed by something strange, terrifyingly so.

"Qiongbao, are you really alright"

Mu Xing's worried little face was wrinkled into a ball. She reached out and patted Shen Qiong's forehead, her body temperature was normal.

I don't have a fever, how did I become like this

Should you buy her a bag of lollipop to ward off evil

Shen Qiong was completely unaware of her strange state, instead wondering at Mu Xing's actions, "I'm really fine, Little Star, what's wrong with you"

Mu Xing: "..."

Are you really okay

- The Tang Family.

Liang Hui and Tang Xiner were waiting in the living room.

The moment Tang Ruowan stepped inside, Liang Hui couldn't wait to rush forward, grabbing her arm and asking, "Well Did that little girl agree to plead for Yingying"

Tang Ruowan shook her head. "I'm not sure either."

Liang Hui panicked, "What do you mean uncertain Did she accept the gift"

"She refused to intercede for Yingying. The gift was forced upon her, and now I can only wait and see."

After a moment of silence, Tang Ruowan added: “From my observation, that girl is very independent. We shouldn't have too high hopes and should think of other ways.”

"What other options are there Now everyone shuns our Tang family. Let alone rescuing Yingying, it's even difficult to see her."

Thinking of her precious daughter suffering in prison, Liang Hui couldn't help but shed tears again. "How could Fu Lingxiao be so cruel There's no deep hatred between us, why must he ruin my daughter My poor Yingying, she's only eighteen years old..."

Tang Ruowan silently looked at Liang Hui, her mother how could it be to now still didn't understand.

Little sister attempted to hurt that girl with such despicable means. Given Fu Lingxiao's personality and his affection for that girl, this is clearly a deep-seated grudge.

She was only thankful that she hadn't caused any real harm to the girl, otherwise her sister wouldn't just be in jail.

While Tang Xiner and Tang Ruowan had vastly different ideas. Tang Xiner thought, if that girl helped plead for her, and Fu Lingxiao let her sister off the hook, then this matter would just be dropped.

If they don't let her sister go, she'll never let them go either!She sniffed, walked out of the room, and said to Shen Lue, "Brother Shen Lue, I'm going to the mountains to dig some herbs. When I get back, we'll go home."Shen Lue's face lit up, "You found a way""No...
