Chapter 1087: Then Dont Marry Yuan Jun

Mu Yao was about to get married with Yuan Jun, so Ning Shu had to gift them congratulatory presents. Ning Shu glanced over towards Court Lady Qiu whose b.u.t.t was up in the air as she wiped the floor. Is there anything good in our storeroom? Help us see what congratulatory gifts we can give the fourth prince.

Court Lady Qiu went and got a book, then said to Ning Shu, All the items in Your Majestys storeroom is recorded here.

Read it, said Ning Shu as she closed her eyes.

Court Lady Qiu started reading off all the precious gems and stones recorded. When Ning Shu heard the term dragon pearl, she was stunned for a moment. Dragon pearl? What dragon pearl? Bring it to us.

Understood. Court Lady Qiu immediately had someone bring the dragon pearl over.

The dragon pearl Court Lady Qiu had been talking about was about the size of an infants fist and it glistened like snow. It was like a large pearl.

Ning Shu took the dragon pearl and sniffed it. It carried a fishy smell and when she lifted it next to her ear, she could hear the sound of waves.

She was a little shocked. This couldnt be a real dragon pearl, right?

Your Majesty, this is the dragon pearl that a wandering Daoist immortal had gifted you. Its said to bring longevity, said Court Lady Qiu when she saw that Ning Shu seemed interested in this dragon pearl.

Dragon pearl!?

Ning Shu recalled what she had read in one of the books. This was probably the core of an organism from a high-level plane. Why would it be here?

Ning Shu put this away, then picked out a good number of jewels to gift to the fourth princes residence.

As of now, it was hard for Ning Shu to even walk, so she naturally wouldnt be attending Mu Yaos wedding. After all, what if she ended up puking blood again?

However, one day before the wedding, an incident occurred. Yuan Jun had gone missing. No one knew where he had gone, not even the Yuan family.

When Ning Shu found out about this, her first suspect was Mu Xue. Mu Xue had done this. She had done this even though she was already under house arrest?

She had probably done this out of anger since Ning Shu had kicked her people out of Daylily City.

Even if this wasnt Mu Xues doing, Ning Shu still planned to pin this on Mu Xue.

Mu Yao was so worried about Yuan Juns disappearance that she was about to cry. When men went missing, it hurt their reputation a lot. It was just like how harsh feudal societies were with the reputation of women.

In this nation of women, demands towards men were just as harsh.

Ning Shu send out guards to find Yuan Jun, but they couldnt find him. Moreover, a night had already pa.s.sed, so Yuan Juns reputation had been ruined.

Hence this marriage would be pushed off, perhaps forever. Mu Yao ran to the palace and kowtowed to Ning Shu. Imperial Mother, you must help this subject daughter find Yuan Jun!

Ning Shu was in so much pain that her entire body was trembling. She swallowed the blood that had risen to her throat and drank a cup of water before saying, But Yuan Juns reputation has already been ruined.

Mu Yao immediately said, This subject daughter doesnt care about Yuan Juns reputation, I like him as a person. I dont mind even if hes lost his chast.i.ty.

Mu Yao was different from the others in this world. She didnt feel that a man losing their chast.i.ty was anything huge.

Ning Shu nodded. Since you want to marry Yuan Jun, then just marry him. However, marrying a man who has lost his chast.i.ty will harm the reputation of the imperial family. Mu Yao, isnt your wish to travel the world? We want you to give up on your status as a prince and take your husbands with you to travel the world. Of course, youre still our daughter. Well provide you with money and send people to protect you.

Mu Yao was taken aback for a moment and stared at Ning Shu blankly. Then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards Ning Shu. Tears streamed down her face as she said, Imperial Mother, this subject daughter is willing. Its just that this subject daughter will miss you.

Its fine, you can come back any time to see us. Mu Yao, one cannot have the desire to hurt others, but one cannot be without a guarded heart towards others. You have to be on guard a little even towards the people by your side. When Ning Shu saw the simple and sad expression on Mu Yaos face, she couldnt help but exhort her a bit.

When Mu Yao heard what Ning Shu said, her tears overflowed even more. Imperial Mother, you treat this subject daughter so well! This subject daughter will miss you so much!

Then dont marry Yuan Jun.

Hic Mu Yao hiccupped.

Go. When the time comes, follow our command. Ning Shu waved dismissively.
