333 Surprise
“Why did he give me the Demon Palace Token?” Ning Yue looked at the token in her hand and had the urge to throw the token away.
However, she also knew that if she really threw this token away, she would definitely have to bear the consequences.
“Baili, tell me what the Demon Palace is and who Willow is,” Ning Yue asked with a frown.
She really wanted to know what Willow meant when he left.
He wanted to tell her that he was the one who was really good to her? Did she and Willow know each other?
At the thought of this, Ning Yue was even more confused.
Baili told Ning Yue that every Demon Marquis of the Demon Palace was a cruel and heartless demon. Only the current Demon Marquis, Willow, was said to be a benevolent Palace Master.
He was said to be benevolent because he was compared to the previous Palace Masters. Although he was not a cruel demon, he was also ruthless.
He did not take the initiative to provoke people, but those who provoked him would die without a burial place at best. At worst, they would be reduced to ashes.
“I didn’t provoke the Demon Palace. Why is he looking for me?” Ning Yue was a little confused.
Her thoughts were simple. She just wanted to run her business well and live a good life with her family. The Demon Palace should have nothing to do with her.
“Princess, go back and rest first.” Baili lowered his head, not daring to look at Ning Yue. He was afraid that Ning Yue would be angry when she found out his identity and ignored him.
Ning Yue nodded gloomily. Before she left, she suddenly said, “Baili, I want you to help me investigate Liu Lian’s identity.”
“Okay!” Baili agreed.
Ning Yue did not sleep the entire night because of Willow’s arrival. This gave her the idea of establishing her own faction.
Money was not enough. In this era of power, even if one had money, it was difficult to move forward without power.
She could use money to make connections, but money was not everything.
If she was a princess and did not have her own power, everything would be for nothing.
At this moment, Ning Yue felt very defeated and powerless.
“Miss, the heir is here,” Yun Duo said as she held Ning Yue’s hand.
Ning Yue immediately came back to her senses. She seemed to have made an appointment with Jiang Ying to take a look at East Street in the neighboring town today.
“Yun Duo, help me tell him to come over later. I’m a little unwell.” Ning Yue rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
“Miss, are you alright?” Yun Duo looked at Ning Yue worriedly.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Ning Yue patted Yun Duo’s hand. “I just want to be alone and think about what to do next.”
Yun Duo sized Ning Yue up again. After confirming that she was really fine, she stood outside the door in relief.
Ning Yue rested for a while before asking Yun Duo to call Jiang Ying over.
After two hours, the two of them discussed and went to the East Street of the neighboring town.
East Street was like a slum. It was worlds apart from Laifu.
This place emitted a stench. Jiang Ying frowned.
“Why do you have to come to East Street?” Jiang Ying asked.
Ning Yue said nothing and ignored Jiang Ying.
She had heard about this place and knew what was going on. She wanted to come and see what she could do here.
She walked into East Street. There were thatched huts on both sides of the street. They were shaky and felt like they would collapse if the wind picked up a little.
Not far away was an old beggar with his grandson.
Trembling, she took out a moldy bun and handed it to her little grandson.
Her grandson took the bun and took a gentle bite before handing it back to the old beggar.
“Grandma, I’m not hungry. You should eat.”
Tears welled in the old beggar’s eyes as she looked at her grandson’s sensible face.
Ning Yue looked at this scene and suddenly felt very sad.
She took out a silver ingot from her pocket and was about to hand it to the old beggar when Jiang Ying suddenly stopped her.
Ning Yue was a little unhappy. “What are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m doing a good deed?”
Unexpectedly, Ning Yue’s words did not make Jiang Ying let go. He sighed heavily. “Do you know the consequences of doing these things?” He subconsciously tightened his grip on Ning Yue’s hand.
Ning Yue wanted to shake it off in pain, but his hand seemed to be glued to her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake it off.
Ning Yue was suddenly dissatisfied. “Don’t go too far!”
“Do you know what would have happened if I hadn’t stopped you just now?” Jiang Ying asked.
Usually, Ning Yue was very smart, but she imagined human nature to be too beautiful.
Human nature was greedy. Even if this silver was obtained by the old beggar and grandson, others might not let them have it.
