“Alright, stop scaring him. Can’t you see you’ve almost scared the wits out of him?” Gu Changsheng gave Zhou Mu a displeased look.

Upon hearing this, the chilly aura around Zhou Mu dissipated like bubbles, and his face was overtaken by an indulgent, pitiful pouting, “When did I scare him? It’s clear that he’s just a scaredy-cat!”

Gu Changsheng was truly at his wit’s end with Zhou Mu, gazing up at a thirty-degree angle, with a bright yet sorrowful expression…

As the oppressive aura around them lessened, Du Chenzhi, drenched in cold sweat, stealthily looked up, only to be utterly dumbfounded at the sight before him!

What was he seeing? The noble and indomitable Prince Mu… acting coquettish?

The thought that he had narrowly escaped death made Du Chenzhi feel as if his entire world view had been overturned, leaving him with a sense of disorientation!

How could words like ‘acting coquettish’ be associated with His Highness Prince Mu, who was akin to a Divine Residence? This was totally discordant and disillusioning…

It must be an illusion; his eyes had deceived him! The person before him couldn’t possibly be Prince Mu!

“Hmph!” Not seeing any response from Gu Changsheng for a long time, Zhou Mu let out another cold snort.

Immediately, Du Chenzhi was flattened by the icy pressure once more—sobbing internally! He was mistaken; the one seated above was indeed Prince Mu, no doubt about it!

Seeing Du Chenzhi’s face turn deathly pale, as if he was about to faint, Gu Changsheng cast a reproachful look at Zhou Mu, “And you say you didn’t scare anyone. I had to put in so much effort to coax him out of hiding, and if he gets scared away now, will you compensate?”

“I’ll compensate! I’ll compensate! I’m willing to make up for whatever you ask!” Zhou Mu nodded frantically, almost as if he was ready to offer his heart and soul to please Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes, grinding his teeth, “What would you compensate for? Go wherever it’s cool and stay out of sight. Your presence is so daunting people can’t even speak!”

Wondering just how bad his reputation must be to leave a newcomer like Du Chenzhi this terrified, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but mutter to himself. No wonder he had been subjected to a collective impeachment by the court officials—an outcome well deserved!

“I’ll just watch you and I promise not to speak or interrupt!” Faced with the threat of being sent away, Zhou Mu capitulated shamelessly.

“Don’t even humph!” In truth, Zhou Mu hadn’t even given Du Chenzhi a proper look since he arrived, yet those two snorts had inflicted such devastating effects that Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words.

If only she could wield such a deterrent power—she would be close to a state of perfection!

Accustomed to unconditionally following Gu Changsheng’s words, Zhou Mu nodded readily, gracefully addressing the kneeling Du Chenzhi from above, “If you upset her, don’t blame me for being heartless! Now respond!”

Having survived a close call, Du Chenzhi was at a loss—what was he supposed to respond with?

“Alright, Young Master Du, better get up quickly, the ground is terribly cold. Beware of the chill getting into your knees, or you’ll have to pay me ten thousand taels for a consultation fee.” After shooting Zhou Mu a warning glance, Gu Changsheng hastily urged Du Chenzhi to stand up.

But how could Du Chenzhi dare to rise with the formidable presence of Prince Mu looming above him—where was his place to stand?

With cold sweat streaming down his forehead, Du Chenzhi instinctively shook his head, “I dare not! I would willingly pay the ten thousand taels…”

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, nodded almost imperceptibly, approving his understanding.

Gu Changsheng burst into laughter at this, pointing at Du Chenzhi, “I’m telling you, why are you so extravagant? Do you really think you’re The Spendthrift?”

It was odd—a victim looking as if they couldn’t be happier to be swindled.

At the bottom of his heart, Du Chenzhi was sweating profusely. Did he wish to be The Spendthrift? But it was clear that Lady Changsheng enjoyed this! Now, he understood who truly ruled the household—it was Lady Changsheng, while His Highness Prince Mu was nothing more than a paper tiger in her presence.

Clinging to Lady Changsheng’s coattails was crucial! Playing to her tastes was even more important!

“Worry not, my dear, as the Du Residence has been a family of nobles for generations, I’m sure money is not a concern in your household!” Seeing Gu Changsheng in good spirits, Zhou Mu joined the conversation, “If you’re inclined to rob him, don’t hold back—Young Master Du’s family wealth is indeed substantial, isn’t it, Du Chenzhi?”

At that moment, Du Chenzhi was terrified beyond words. With the threat to his life gone and his courage slightly bolstered, he looked up apprehensively at the seated Zhou Mu, “Your… Your Highness, if I say that what you’ve said is incorrect, will you have me executed?”
