After that, everything was about the topic of the booklet. Duanmu Qingxi insisted on not questioning every item in it. Mo Ruyue explained it to her one by one, and there was no impatient behavior.

When Mo Ruyue was about to leave, Duanmu Qingxi stopped her again, but after a few more words, she only said two words: "Thank you."

"As long as you can get healthy, it is the best thank you to me. Well, you have a good rest, we will have a period in the future."

After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she walked away, while Duanmu Qingxi kept watching her back being blocked by the door, but still did not take back her gaze.

"Miss Qin, our master is waiting for you in the study in the main courtyard."

As soon as Mo Ruyue walked to the gate of the cross-courtyard, she saw a young man waiting at the Moon Gate. As soon as she saw her coming, she immediately saluted and greeted her respectfully.

This man was a secret guard accompanying Duanmu Xize, just dressed as a follower. It was not the first time that Mo Ruyue had seen him.

She had already thought that Duanmu Xize must have something to tell her, so she just nodded slightly and followed behind the man.

It was also the second time for Mo Ruyue to come to the study room in the main courtyard. The last time was for Duanmu Qingxi's surgery. She came to interview the prefect in person.

I just don't know what kind of conversation there will be between them this time.

"Miss Qin, what do you think about my proposal just now?"

Duanmu Xize leaned forward, crossed his fingers, and asked Mo Ruyue.

It can be seen from his micro-movements that his answer to this question is extremely urgent, which is equivalent to telling Mo Ruyue that the initiative is now in her hands.

"Mr. Duanmu, isn't what I said just now not clear enough?"

Mo Ruyue raised her eyebrows, she thought she had made it clear, but apparently Duanmu Xize was not willing to accept the answer.

"Miss Qin, I still hope you can think about it carefully, and then give me an answer. I think you should stay in Pingcheng for a while recently."

His words immediately made Mo Ruyue understand something, and then he asked meaningfully: "It seems that Lord Duanmu has already made arrangements, I just don't want to stay, so I have to stay, right? "

"Haha, Mrs. Qin is indeed a smart person, and it is interesting to deal with smart people, so Mrs. Qin should seriously consider this official's proposal?"

Duanmu Xize's ultimate purpose is to want Mo Ruyue to be used by him, so until now it can be said to be pleasant, but if she has been so ignorant of praise, he may not be able to speak so well.

In her previous life, Mo Ruyue was forced to smear blood on her hands for the first time at the age of six, and completed the task independently for the first time at the age of nine. Since then, she has never been controlled by others. The purgatory-like life in the past did not make her bow her head. Even more impossible now.

She smiled lightly and said, "Lord Duanmu, although in your eyes I'm just a peasant, I don't want to flatten and round it. What you know now about my skills is only the tip of the iceberg, Lord Duanmu. , you're also a smart person, so you don't need me to say too much, right?"

Duanmu Xize suddenly lowered his face, stared at Mo Ruyue and said coldly, "Are you threatening this official?"

"If Lord Duanmu didn't threaten me, why would he think my words were a threat?"

Mo Ruyue looked back at him without hesitation, her eyes didn't evade, and she couldn't see any timidity, as if she didn't care about Duanmu Xize's identity at all.

"Ms. Qin, this official advises you not to think too highly of yourself. Even if you have the ability to escape from the sky, aren't you afraid of involving other people around you?"

Duanmu Xize still refused to step back.

With his dignified prefect status, he would be counter-threatened by a commoner widow. If this were to spread out, wouldn't he be the laughing stock of everyone?

Mo Ruyue shook her head. She originally thought that Duanmu Xize was a smart enough person, otherwise she would not be able to climb to the current position, but now it seems that she may be a little smart, but she has been dazed by his highest weight, some Too superstitious about his power.

However, she believed that in order to maintain his authority, Duanmu Xize might indeed act irrationally when facing her, so she also had to make him more sober.

"Master Duanmu, you threaten me with the people around me as a weakness. Could it be that you don't have a weakness? If I am a bachelor who is not afraid of anything, I am afraid that the person I am afraid of is you, Lord Duanmu."

"My lord and I didn't need to go to that step originally, and there was still more basis for cooperation. Could it be that the lord really wants to take the road that we didn't need to take for the sake of a temporary dispute?"

Mo Ruyue's posture is completely barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Her words are not the most ugly, but they still make Duanmu Xize's face even more ugly.

Not only because he received such a warning, but also because he had to listen to the warning.

It was only at this time that Duanmu Xize remembered that the woman in front of her had a kung fu, and she was not weak.

The cold light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes changed several times, all of which were murderous, but at the end they disappeared, hidden behind a smile.

For someone like Mo Ruyue who is unpredictable, if he wants to be executed, he must hit him with a single blow, otherwise, once she escapes, he will inevitably suffer endless troubles.

From the original intention of Duanmu Xize, talents that cannot be controlled and cannot be used for himself should be killed as soon as possible, so as not to be used for

What people used instead became his adversary.

What Mo Ruyue said just now did arouse his killing intent, but he was not sure that she would kill her in one hit, so as Mo Ruyue said, is it really necessary to take that step.

After some thought, Duanmu Xize made his choice, but what he didn't know was that this choice happened to save his life.

Mo Ruyue had a panoramic view of all the subtle changes in his expression. If Duanmu Xize really chose to do it for the sake of face, she would not hesitate to strike first.

Of course, he wouldn't choose to act immediately, but for a top-level killer with ghostly skills, Mo Ruyue had a hundred ways to make Duanmu Xize die silently without being suspected of her.

"Ms. Qin, why do we suddenly talk about this, haha, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding."

Duanmu Xize laughed and started to adjust the atmosphere.

"You are a savior of Qingqing, and it is too late for this official to thank you, so how can you do something ungrateful."

"I can trust Mr. Duanmu's character, but your sense of humor is really..."

Halfway through what Mo Ruyue said, she covered up the second half with a smile.

The two sides appear to have reached an agreement on this and will no longer discuss the subject.

"In this way, I will send the originally agreed consultation fee to the Huichun Hall, as well as the ore that Mrs. Qin needs. After all, it is a bit dazzling, so it is up to Mrs. Qin to find a suitable place to receive it. The official will send someone to transport it there.”
