Immediately, Su Ziyun looked at Su Zimo warily.
"I wonder what brings the Lord to my Mingyue Villa today?"
Su Zimo walked to the main seat and sat down, while Heyun Ting stood respectfully by the side, occasionally replenishing her tea.
This action made Su Ziyun even more displeased. A mere merchant, and a woman at that, daring to take the main seat in the presence of the current Lord. She wanted to confront her but was afraid of upsetting the Lord. All she could do was stare fiercely at Su Zimo, forgetting that this was a world where strength was paramount and the royal family held little value in the eyes of powerful individuals.
Among the people present, Heyun Ting was the most relaxed. Seeing the expression of hatred on Su Ziyun's face, as if she wanted to tear Su Zimo apart, and her helpless expression towards Su Zimo, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I heard that the Lord returned home today, so I came specially to congratulate you. Congratulations on a smooth journey, Lord," Jun Lintian finally spoke, suppressing the anger in his heart.
This was his only reason. It was difficult for anyone in the capital of the Moonlight Kingdom, especially those with status and position, to know that she had returned today. He happened to pass by here and saw the demonic beast carriage at the entrance, so he daringly guessed that she must have arrived today.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord. However, it seems that the Lord is well-informed. It has only been a short hour since I arrived at Mingyue Villa, and the Lord has come."
Su Zimo spoke casually, her tone carrying a hint of suspicion and intent towards Jun Lintian.
Jun Lintian looked at Su Zimo, his grip on the teacup tightening slightly. She was doubting him.
After a while, Jun Lintian spoke, "The Lord is too suspicious. I happened to pass by this place today and just learned of the Lord's return. I am simply here to pay a visit."
"It is the Lord who is suspicious. The Lord doesn't need to explain so clearly if there is nothing to hide," Su Zimo's words implied that she suspected Jun Lintian had ulterior motives.
"In that case, I will take my leave for now. I will visit again in two days."
Jun Lintian stood up. If he stayed any longer, he would probably return home with a belly full of anger. The owner of Mingyue Villa didn't care about him at all, from taking the main seat to making him wait for almost an hour. From her tone, it was evident that she didn't regard him, the Third Prince of the Moonlight Kingdom, as anything special. The thought of it ignited an inexplicable anger in Jun Lintian's heart. However, he wouldn't give up. Mingyue Villa was involved in too many industries, and collaborating with her would be highly beneficial to him.
"That's fine! As the Lord has just returned today and has many other matters to attend to, the Lord can take your time. Please excuse my neglect, Lord."
Su Zimo's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion, filled with indifference and an air of dismissal. Those two words, "take your time," were spoken extremely slowly.
Jun Lintian stared at her fiercely, his face growing darker and darker. The Third Prince of the Moonlight Kingdom was actually treated in such a manner by a woman.
In a deep voice, he said, "Then, Lord, busy yourself. Yun'er, let's go."
Every word was filled with anger.
"Yes!" Su Ziyun glared at Su Zimo, thinking what a brazen woman she was, and then turned to follow Jun Lintian as they left. At this moment, Su Ziyun felt a sense of joy in her heart. The more she acted this way, the more the Lord would dislike her, and she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Su Zimo's eyes were calm and indifferent. She calmly lifted the teacup and took a sip. Jun Lintian, Su Ziyun, today was just a small test. The game has begun. Just you wait!
