"This is what my father gave me. It can mobilize half of the troops under Prince Xiao's Mansion. Now I give it to you, Princess. I hope you won't dislike it."

Of course Yun Yuan didn't mind. It was effortless to take back half of the military power from King Xiao. How could she mind?

Xiao Qingxuan's action was like opening Pandora's box. All the young masters were stunned and asked to give gifts to Yun Yuan.

Yun Yuan asked Xiaodie to write down the gifts from each family. If any were not selected, she would have someone prepare a similar gift and send it back to their house.

Mu Nan never thought that Princess Chao Yan was so popular.

He thought Princess Chaoyan couldn't live without him, but in fact, he was the one who couldn't live without Princess Chaoyan.

He couldn't understand why Princess Chaoyan suddenly disliked him because he didn't accept the gift she gave her that day.

Mu Nan was confused and unwilling, so he waited alone at the door after the plum blossom viewing banquet. Finally, he saw Yun Yuan.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and the scene was all white. Xiaodie held an umbrella carefully and walked towards the gorgeous carriage with Yun Yuan.

"Princess Chaoyan!" Mu Nan rushed forward.

The guard stepped forward to stop him: "How dare you offend Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Yun Yuan waved her hand to signal the guards to retreat, and looked directly at Mu Nan with a clear gaze: "What do you want to say?"

At this moment, Mu Nan looked extremely disheveled. The snow water formed by the melted snow mixed with the mud on the road and stained the surface of his clothes, making his originally bright fabric become dirty.

Compared with the handsome, elegant and well-dressed young men around him, Mu Nan seemed like a person from another world.

"I...I didn't mean to reject you that day." There were people nearby, so Mu Nan deliberately spoke ambiguously.

Yun Yuan smiled, and Mu Nan seemed to see flowers blooming all over the mountains, his eyes full of amazement.

Damn it, why didn't he realize how stunningly beautiful Princess Chaoyan was before? If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been so reserved. He would have married her directly and then slowly trained her behind closed doors.

Yun Yuan laughed sarcastically: "Mu Nan, are my things still useful?"

Mu Nan's mood sank to the bottom. Princess Chaoyan really knew what happened last night.

"I... I can explain." Mu Nan said righteously, "I just went to Qunfanglou to listen to music and drink tea. I didn't do anything else."

"Oh, you really treat me like a fool."

Mu Nan mistakenly thought that Yun Yuan still cared about him, and explained: "There's really nothing between me and Su Yan. If you don't believe me..."

He said cruelly: "I can kill her."

Yun Yuan sneered: "I am not interested in what happened between you and Su Yan. If you are smart, return the things you took from me before, otherwise I will ask the Dali Temple to punish you."

Mu Nan couldn't believe it: "You want me to pay you back?"

"Why? Is it not possible?" Yun Yuan said, "You took my things, isn't it normal for me to ask you to return them?"

"I didn't take it, you gave it to me as a reward!" Mu Nan accused, "You are a princess of a country, aren't you afraid of being laughed at for doing this?"

"Giving you the things for free and letting you support a prostitute will make me a laughing stock." Yun Yuan said, "I'll give you three days. If you can't get it back within three days, I'll put your whole family in jail."

"I will not return what you gave me." Mu Nan gritted his teeth.

"It's not a reward, it's a loan!" Yun Yuan said, "I used to admire your talent, and I saw that your family was having a hard time living in the capital, so I helped you out of kindness. Now I don't want to help anymore, and I have already listed the specific list."

Xiaodie took out the list and handed it to Mu Nan.

Mu Nan collapsed and pushed Xiaodie away: "I don't accept it!"

"You wait for the summons from the Dali Temple." Yun Yuan sneered and walked past him towards the carriage.

"Chao Yan!" Mu Nan stopped her: "Didn't you care about me the most in the past? Why, why do you suddenly want to draw a line between you and me? Is it because His Majesty..."

"How dare you!" Yun Yuan shouted, "Father is the ruler of a country, it is not your turn to comment. Look for your own reasons for everything, and don't look at what kind of person you are."

But Chaoyan had liked him before, Mu Nan thought stubbornly, he had never changed from the beginning to the end, it was her...

"you've changed."

Mu Nan looked at Yun Yuan with sad eyes.

Yun Yuan mocked, "You are really ridiculous. When I wanted to stay with you, you said that you had lofty ambitions and great aspirations, and you were unwilling to be a consort, fearing that your talent would be wasted. Now that I asked you to stay away, you came to me on your own, acting like you can't live without me. It's really like what everyone says, you only love my money."

"No, I like you too..."

“Bah!” Yun Yuan couldn’t help but let out a loud spit. Regardless of Xiao Die’s shocked look, she threatened Mu Nan, “Don’t show up in front of me again, or I’ll castrate you and make sure you never have that disgusting thing again!”

Mu Nan didn't understand. Didn't he just find a prostitute? He wasn't going to marry her home. Why was Princess Chaoyan so angry that she wanted to castrate him?

Aren’t all men like this?

Yun Yuan didn't want to waste any more words with him: "There are many men in the whole capital for me to choose from, who do you think you are?"

She snorted disdainfully and took Xiaodie into the carriage.

The carriage was surrounded by guards, three layers inside and three layers outside. Mu Nan didn't dare to get close and could only watch her go away.

He returned to the inn in a daze.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the whole family waiting outside his room, with an anxious and expectant look on everyone's face.

When Mu's mother saw him, she immediately went forward and grabbed his arm tightly: "How is it, son? Did Princess Chaoyan give you any money?"

The whole family gathered around, all looking at Mu Nan with anticipation in their eyes.

However, Mu Nan just stood there blankly, as if all the life had been sucked out of him, and he looked extremely decadent.

After a long while, he slowly shook his head and said in an almost desperate tone: "Princess Chao Yan wants to draw a clear line between me and her and return all the things I took from her before, otherwise... my whole family will go to jail."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Old Madam Mu almost lost her balance. She looked at Mu Nan in disbelief and asked with trembling lips, "You mean, Princess Chaoyan wants you to return the gold and silver notes, as well as all the gold and silver treasures?"

Mu Nan nodded silently, not daring to look his family in the eye.

The room was deathly silent. Old Mrs. Mu couldn't bear the blow. She rolled her eyes and fainted.

The scene was in chaos and everyone went to great lengths to finally wake up the unconscious Mrs. Mu.

Afterwards, everyone sat around the table, everyone's face full of anxiety and worry, and discussed together what to do next.

Mu Bei said solemnly: "The things Princess Zhao Yan gave to my third brother are worth three or four hundred thousand silvers. Where can we get such a large sum of money?"
