The woman lay on the ground, feeling regret in her heart as she listened to the cold words spoken by Madam Situ. Because the young mistress was good to her, she had almost forgotten her identity. He forgot her status in the Situ Family and forgot that he had to do what his wife told him to do.

"Madam, this servant knows that I was wrong. This servant will not dare to do so again." I beg of you Madam, please spare my life. " Lian-er crawled to the side of Madam Situ's legs and begged. Madam Situ looked at her coldly, her tone indifferent, as if she was speaking to a dead person, "I said before that I want you to take care of the young lady. If there are any problems, come back immediately and report them to me. You saw that Allure was getting closer to the crown prince, but she didn't even say a word to me. If it wasn't for this decree, would you still have to help her hide it? "

"This servant knows her wrongs, this servant knows her wrongs." Lian-er said in a trembling voice.

"You know your wrongs? Humph! What a great mistake. I didn't realize before that a girl like you would do something behind her back. What? Do you really think that you are worthy to be my close friend?] If you weren't obedient, why would I have you, such a moron, follow her? " Madam Situ said in disdain.

"This servant will not dare to do so again."

"If this person makes a mistake, it's not an easy thing to apologize. If only apologizing was enough to get rid of all guilt, then there wouldn't be any criminals in this world. Lian-er, you've really gone too far with this matter. Even if I wanted to spare you, I … "If you don't remember, wouldn't it be a bad thing to do this next time?" Madam Situ's tone was very light. As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. "This bottle contains the Gu Clan's secret poison. As long as you consume it and pass it on on every month, I will naturally give you the antidote. However, if you do something wrong again, the antidote will be gone. Well? Are you going to eat or not? "

As she heard what Madam Situ said, her face paled. How could she not understand now? Madam Situ was trying to control her. But she had no right to refuse. The moment she refused, it didn't matter if it was her family or her own life. It's all here. While thinking this, Lian`er took the bottle and drank all the poison inside it.

Seeing that Lian`er had done so, Madam Situ smiled in satisfaction. "En, that's more like it. Girl, you're quite the wise one." He knew what to choose. Alright, you can go down first. "Just come back in a month and ask me for the antidote."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Take good care of the young miss. If she meets the crown prince again, think of a way to follow her. I want to know what Allure is doing." Madam Situ ordered.

"This servant understands. This servant will definitely not disappoint you."

"Alright, you may leave." Madame Situ said.

"This servant will take his leave." Lian`er's eyes dimmed, but her heart was filled with unwillingness. Why is it that even though we are both humans, I can only watch as the young mistress is blissful, watch as the young mistress torments herself, and then place all of the sins onto her head? Miss enjoys the love of the world's noblest person, but I will suffer the world's most painful torment for Miss. And all of this was because she was a maid.

If only the Miss didn't exist. If she did not exist, the Lady would not threaten me. Perhaps, he could open a restaurant just like the young mistress.

Only Star, what he listens to the most is me. If... If I were to leave, he would definitely follow me.

Lian`er thought in her heart but felt a chill run down her spine. Heavens? Why would I think that? My mistress treats me extremely well, like a sister to her. Why would I have such outrageous thoughts?

Lian-Er was frightened by her own thoughts. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

In the room, Madam Situ was playing with the chess piece on the teacup, her red lips curling up, "Heh! This person was always insatiable due to his greed. Once she tasted the benefits and regained her former life, she would be dissatisfied. Everyone was like that. However, he didn't know whether or not this Lian-er would be able to pass through this hurdle. If this girl can always be loyal to Allure, then let her be free. " Madam Situ whispered.

However, this was only her plan. Since she was a child, she had grown up in a large clan like the Gu Clan. After marrying into the Situ Clan, she had become the wife of the Situ Clan. There were too many people that she had met. She knew too much about human nature, and because of that, she was not sure if Lian-er was an obedient little girl.

In this world, the most terrifying thing was not betrayal. Instead … Unconsciously, the person most loyal to you had a change of heart. She will not betray you, but she will disappoint you.

This was far more terrifying than betrayal.

People always get flustered because of all sorts of things.

The emperor's decree had caught everyone in the capital by surprise. It also broke the hearts of many women. And the main character of this matter? He was drinking in his own restaurant.

"Yu Sheng, how was it? Is this wine even better than a few days ago? " Situ Yaoru poured a cup of fruit wine that she had just made for Yuesheng and after tasting it, she asked him with a smile.

After drinking it, he could only feel the fragrance lingering on his lips. He could not help but brighten up. "It's true."

"The fruit wine will become more fragrant after a long period of time. Unfortunately … I don't have enough time, otherwise I would really want you to taste fruit wine that is ten years or more. " Situ Yaoru sighed.

"Then, in ten years, if Mo Zhu and Princess Wuyan manage to successfully cultivate it, I'll have to ask for a cup of fruit wine from you." Yu Sheng laughed.

"What fruit wine?" In the kitchen, Mo Zhu was carrying a tray when he heard the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but be curious.

"Mo Zhu, you came back just in time. Come and taste this wine." Yu Sheng pulled Mo Zhu to a seat and handed the wine cup to him. Hearing this, Mo Zhu suspiciously raised his cup and downed the wine in one gulp. And then he was stunned.

It was as if his mouth was filled with fresh fruits, and all kinds of flavors were mixed in. He couldn't even speak. And among them, there was also the rich fragrance and spiciness of the wine.

"This is?"

"This is the wine our restaurant is selling."

"With this wine, even if I don't eat the dishes I make, the restaurant should still be able to open up." Mo Zhu sighed.

"I can, but I want more than that. "I hope that my restaurant will spread word of this." Situ Yaoru said.

"This wine is really good." Mo Zhu said.

"Right? "Situ and I were still talking just now. If you and Princess Wuyan manage to cultivate successfully in ten years, I'll have her prepare ten portions of fruit wine for you. I presume it will be even more fragrant?" Yu Sheng laughed.

It was the first time that Situ Yaoyao was this happy to see Yuesheng. Perhaps it was because there was finally a conclusion between the black bamboo and the smoke?

"This... If she's really going to be with me in ten years, that would be what I'd want. "It's just that …" Mo Zhu frowned, his heart filled with unspeakable worry.

"What is it? Are you worried that Princess Wuyan will reject you after ten years? " Situ Yaoyao asked with a smile on her face.

Mo Zhu shook his head. "That's not it. I just feel uneasy. I keep having the feeling that something is going to happen, but I just don't know what it is."

"It seems to me that you are worrying about your own personal gains and losses." It wasn't easy for me to get a woman I like, but I'm worried that she might go back on her word. " Yu Sheng retorted.

When Mo Zhu heard this, he thought that perhaps it was really just as he had said. However, he couldn't get rid of the panic in his heart.

"Mo Zhu, don't think too much. Since the princess had said so, there must be a reason behind it. You just have to trust her. Perhaps, these ten years are just to test your mentality. If you are worried about your gains and losses, you will feel disheartened after thinking that Princess Wuyan lied to you. That means you still don't love her enough. If they loved each other, they had to believe in each other. No matter what she said, they had to believe first and then guard. If she doesn't come to see you on the tenth day, think of something else. "

"In this lifetime, how many more decades do you have?" Mo Zhu smiled bitterly.

"She is the same as you. You left these ten years behind, and she is also the same. Even when she returned to the palace for you, you still do not trust her? " Situ Yaoru frowned.

"How dare I not believe her? Whatever she wants me to do. How could I not believe her? I'm just scared. " The man whispered.

"If that is truly impossible, then you should see the princess more often. Although you cannot be together with her, at the very least, you should be at ease if you are able to see her."
