Chapter 1413

Gao Yang smiled, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Not bad, this matter was handled beautifully!"

"Even though I'm doing this for His Majesty, I have to take the opportunity to rake in a few million taels of silver. Otherwise, how could it be my style, Gao Yang?"

Chen Sheng also smiled more and more cunningly. "Young Master, should the 'luck game' be revealed now too?"

Gao Yang replied, "You don't need to worry about that. I've already told Bai Xi the principles behind it. Once the news of the Zhao Gao crash spreads and the Zhao Kingdom is in chaos, she will reveal it all herself."

"The Zhao Kingdom is in chaos, falling apart—it's a foregone conclusion!"

Gao Yang hammered it home, saying with great certainty.

Chen Sheng bowed his head, feeling even more admiration for Gao Yang.

These methods were interlinked; it was simply perfect.

Gao Yang glanced at Lǜluó, who was looking down, clearly deeply impacted, and then spoke to Chen Sheng.

"Zhao Gao has already crashed. We cannot afford to be careless about Mu Mu Xue Yao. Keep a close eye on her every move."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng hurriedly said with a murderous look, "Yes!"

Even though Lǜluó was relatively slow, she realized why Gao Yang had to guard against Mu Mu Xue Yao.

From an emotional perspective, Lǜluó actually had quite a good impression of Mu Mu Xue Yao.

But since this concerned Gao Yang's safety, she naturally couldn't plead for her.

Gao Yang glanced at Lǜluó again and continued, "I am not a heartless person, but Mu Mu Xue Yao's attitude has become increasingly lax lately, and she's been getting lazier with the massages and health treatments. How can I feel sorry for her?"

"Enough, let's not talk about it."

"Lǜluó, go fetch a basin of water. I'm a bit tired. Give me a full health treatment."

"If Mu Mu Xue Yao were as hardworking as my Lǜ'er, I wouldn't have to be so ruthless!"

"What a pity, what a pity..."

Gao Yang sighed with emotion, his hands behind his back.

Hearing this, Lǜluó's body trembled. She hurriedly ran out, her voice ringing out.

"Young Master, Lǜ'er will go fetch you a basin of water right away!"

Lǜluó ran fast, her voice echoing.

Chen Sheng: "..."

Judging by Lǜluó's attitude, she would likely be pulling out all the stops during this period.

"Young Master, how do you want to deal with Mu Mu Xue Yao? Should we kill her or imprison her?" Chen Sheng asked.

Hearing this, Gao Yang's eyes were somewhat complex.

There was murderous intent in his eyes, but also hesitation. Finally, he said, "Hesitate for two more days."

"..."

Meanwhile.

Mu Mu Xue Yao wore a long blue dress, her hair piled high, her face exquisitely beautiful, but there was now a mature charm about her.

Her figure was graceful, her curves perfect, and every movement made one's heart flutter.

She was strolling through Duke Ding's Prefecture, in a very good mood.

But when she reached a corner, several voices reached her ears.

"It's terrifying. Dozens of silk shops in the East Market have lowered prices in unison. In a single day, the price of Zhao Gao has plummeted by four taels and two qian!"

"Who's to say otherwise? I heard rumors among the people that this was driven by the Young Master. The Young Master is truly a god-like man!"

"Indeed, I heard that at this morning's court session, it was the Young Master who first submitted a memorial saying the quality of Zhao Gao was not up to par."

Almost instantly.

Mu Mu Xue Yao's brain buzzed, roaring like thunder.

Her originally rosy face turned deathly pale, her body stiffened, and she couldn't move.

In a single day, Zhao Gao plummeted by four taels and two qian!

This was driven by Gao Yang?

What was going on?

A very ominous premonition suddenly welled up in Mu Mu Xue Yao's heart.

But before she could ask for clarification.

Behind her, a voice that was hard to decipher rang in her ear.

"Miss Mu, it's getting cold. Please return to your room and rest for a while."
