Time seemed to stop. The mysterious man in the car, who had received some sort of subconscious teleportation, turned his head slightly and coincidentally met the gaze of Yue Ziyue, who was still sitting on the ground and not yet standing up.

In that instant, a surge of emotions rippled through Yue Ziyue's heart. It was gentle and gentle, as if she was scratching her head. She was unable to control her emotions.

However, it was only for a moment. The man in the car had a handsome face, but no emotion could be seen on his face. Before the curtain of the carriage fell again, he looked away indifferently.

The carriage moved further and further away from them until they could no longer hear the hoofbeats of the horses. The market was once again filled with the hubbub of the crowd.

As Yue Ziyue got up from the ground, she happened to overhear the conversation of a young married woman in front of her.

"Among all the princes in our Li Jing City, Fourth Prince Yan Muqing is the best. It's just a pity that his mother, Consort Jing, is not being pampered."

"That's right, how many girls' dreams did the Fourth Prince fall in love with Li Jing? It's said that a woman's life is ruined. In my opinion, sometimes being too good-looking isn't a good thing, but a man would be jealous of her! "

"Be careful of what you say. If someone else hears, they'll lose their head!"

A young woman was about to say something when she was interrupted by another young woman. The two of them kept their mouths shut, looked around but no one noticed. Then, they left with their vegetable baskets in their hands.

After the two of them had left, Yue Ziyue once again turned her head to look at the end of the road where the carriage had disappeared. Only then did she realize that the ice-cold man on the carriage was actually the Fourth Prince.

Yue Ziyue couldn't help but cry out in her heart. She wanted to walk into the forest even after death was over, but she had actually teleported to this damned place called Li Jing.

What would she do with her future life in a place she wasn't familiar with?

The more Yue Ziyue thought about it, the more homesick she became. Thinking of her mother's stewed prawns, her favorite dish, she couldn't help but growl in her stomach.

Her steps were weak and she was hungry. Yue Ziyue passed by many restaurants, but she just didn't have the courage to go in and ask for food.

She knew very well what kind of situation she was in. With her current status, she definitely wouldn't be able to get on the good side of others.

Standing in front of the Drunken Wind Inn's restaurant entrance, he suddenly noticed the luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Jade Moon Restaurant. A plan formed in his mind.

Having made up his mind, he looked at the ladies in front of the Jade Moon Restaurant and walked towards the back of the restaurant.

With his tired body, he quickly climbed over the wall and leaped into the back door of the Jade Moon Restaurant.

The back door happened to be a kitchen, but Yue Ziyue didn't directly sneak in. Instead, she raided a bush and directly opened a door that wasn't locked properly. With a twist of her body, she entered the house.

He didn't know what time it was, but it was getting late, so most of the ladies in the Jade Moon Restaurant were dressed up well to welcome the guests and earn money.

At this time, the room was empty, giving Yue Ziyue a good opportunity to rummage through the drawers and find a set of clothes.

He quickly changed his clothes and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the rouge and cosmetic powder in front of the mirror.

She rushed to the dressing mirror and looked at herself in it. Yue Ziyue was shocked.

The change in clothes just now had only been a simple wash of her face. Her fair skin and exquisite facial features were revealed now. Yue Ziyue had never seen such a beautiful face in this world before.

He reached out and touched his cheek subconsciously. For a moment, he could not believe that this was his own face. He pinched it as well, and it hurt a lot.

After observing her carefully, Yue Ziyue's heart finally felt a bit better. The heavens probably wouldn't treat someone unfairly. While bestowing her the status of a beggar, they also bestowed her with a beautiful face.

Without further delay, he picked up the rouge and cosmetic powder from the table and made a simple makeup. He then walked around the backyard and into the main hall.

The Jade Moon Restaurant was brightly lit, and it had been a long time since they had last met. By the time they had come out, Tian'er had already turned dark.

Yue Ziyue felt that this was the right time to do so. She shuttled back and forth between the crowd of cuckoo girls, looking for that familiar figure she had seen earlier in the day.

However, after searching for a long time downstairs, he still could not find the fourth prince, Yan Muqing. At this moment, he raised his head and noticed the heavily guarded second floor and had a feeling that something was amiss.

He was overjoyed, and immediately went to the second floor with his skirt. Unexpectedly, he was pulled down from behind.

"Damned girl, did you take my words as nothing?"

A rough voice sounded from behind her. Yue Ziyue hurriedly turned her head and saw an old mother dressed beautifully despite her young age.

Yue Ziyue had worked in the Department of Nurses for so many years, but she had never seen any unreasonable family members before. She was more adept at acting on the spot than anyone else.

"Aiya elder sister, that Golden Haired Flower on your head is really pretty. Look at today's makeup. How did you draw it? You even taught me?"

The old lady wanted to be angry. She waited for Yue Ziyue to stare at her for a long time, but didn't say anything. After holding back for a long time, she suddenly asked, "Where are you from? How come I've never seen you before?"

Hearing her mother's question, Yue Ziyue's heart trembled. She immediately laughed, "Elder sister, did you forget that it was you who brought me here that day? It's just that recently, Big Sis hasn't been looking for me. "

Yue Ziyue's expression was very good. After staring at it for a long time, the old mother finally dispelled the doubt in her heart.

Only then did she seriously size up Yue Ziyue from head to toe. She circled around her before supporting her chin with one hand as she pensively said, "How could I have forgotten about a peerless beauty like you?"

As she spoke, Yue Ziyue pulled over to the side. Her affectionate smile gradually froze as she glanced at the second floor. She then turned to Yue Ziyue and asked, "Little girl, you don't know the rules. Do you know who is living on the second floor today?"

Yue Ziyue naturally knew who lived on the second floor. If she didn't know who, she wouldn't have gone up.

Shaking his head, he replied, "I don't know, but could elder sister tell me?"

The old lady was overjoyed by Yue Ziyue calling her big sister, and explained patiently, "That is Fourth Prince Yan Qingqing of our Li Jing City, a VIP guest of our Jade Moon Restaurant. The second floor is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter without permission."

When Yue Ziyue heard this, she raised her head to look at the closed door on the second floor. The more the old mother said this, the more curious she became.

"I was reckless."

Yue Ziyue smiled and apologized. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by the old lady. "Little girl, do you want to earn a lot of money?"

After being asked this, Yue Ziyue realized that she had entered a wolf's nest. She had made the wrong decision from the start, and now it would be even more difficult to leave this place.
