"Yinyin, Yuanyuan said she sent you a WeChat message but you didn't reply. She asked me to come and see what's going on."

"Did she send me a message?"

Muyin quickly picked up her phone. As expected, Liu Yuan had sent her a WeChat message.

With her makeup done, Muyin didn't want to argue with others here. She took her things and left with her assistant.

"We're about to shoot. Are you confident?"

"No..."

"Why don't you come and ask me?"

"I was going to ask you, but I was interrupted."

Liu Yuan glanced at her assistant, who relayed what she had overheard outside the door.

She frowned slightly and said to Muyin, "Don't forget that she tortured us in the drama. She doesn't dare to do anything to me, but you have to be careful."

Venting anger through their roles was a common method used by people in showbiz, especially those who have been struggling for years without making any progress.

"Got it. It's still Little Peacock who worried about me and even called me over to rehearse."

"No, I'm not worried about you. I'm just afraid that your mistake will affect my work." Liu Yuan looked uncomfortable.

"Yes, yes, yes." Muyin didn't expose her. He looked quite cute when she was stubborn.

"Wait, what little peacock?"

Only then did Liu Yuan realize that Muyin had given her a nickname.

Peacock... Did she mean that she was beautiful?

"You, little peacock."

The little peacock was arrogant, willful, and two-faced.

"Let's rehearse first. We'll go to the set later."

Muyin nodded and turned to the page where they had initially encountered each other. She pointed at the script for Liu Yuan, implying that she would begin with this round.

Liu Yuan was already familiar with the script. She knew the plot and lines as Muyin pointed at it.

She had a skillful rehearsal with Muyin, who quickly entered her role. The despair, embarrassment, and joy of being saved were conveyed one by one from her eyes.

After the two scenes were successfully rehearsed, the assistant reminded them that it was time to go to the set.

The two of them took their things and went to the set together.

"Come on, let's start filming."

The ugly servant hadn't eaten anything for a day. She went to the mountain to look for wild fruits but unexpectedly encountered a drunken strong man.

"Hey, where... where did this little girl come from? Pluck... Wild fruit... Come home with me. I'll take you... to eat delicious food!"

The drunk man grabbed the shoulder of the ugly servant and forced her to turn around.

The ugly servant quickly dropped the fruit in her hand to cover her face.

"Don't be shy. Come on."

The drunk man broke away from the ugly servant. A ferocious face appeared in front of him, which scared him so much that he staggered and sat on the ground.

When he came to his senses, he immediately caught up with the escaping ugly servant and punched and kicked her.

"You're so ugly and scary. I'm scared to death. I'll beat you to death!"

The ugly servant was hungry and powerless, let alone resisting such a strong man.

She felt that her ribs had been broken, and she gradually couldn't breathe.

Was she going to die?

At this critical time, Princess Xuan, who had not entered the palace yet, appeared. She shouted and stopped the drunk man.

The drunkard was tempted by her beauty.

However, Princess Xuan did not come out alone. She had guards with her.

When the drunk man saw the guard next to her, he ran away in a panic.

"Are you all right?"

The ugly servant raised her head with difficulty. The despair and pain in her eyes disappeared in the bright smile of Princess Xuan.

Suddenly, she remembered her ugly face, and her eyes dimmed. She hurriedly covered her face with her hands, for fear of dirtying the eyes of Princess Xuan.

Princess Xuan had already seen her face. She didn't think it was scary. She smiled and pulled away the hand of the ugly servant, comforting her carefully.

Her eyes lit up little by little. She was uncertain, happy, and moved.

After that, Princess Xuan brought the ugly servant home.

"Next."

The part of Muyin on the mountain was over.

Now that they were going to shoot other scenes on this mountain, Muyin was free again.

She was about to scroll her phone when she found that there was a missed call from her mother. She immediately called back.

"Mom, what can I do for you?"

"Grandpa Shen has invited us to have a meal together. Do you have any availability?"

Grandpa Shen was the grandfather of Shen Huai.

It was not easy to refuse an elder's request.

"When?"

"You and Xiaohuai can go whenever you are free."

The Shen family and the Mu family understood that the two children were not acquainted with each other, so they frequently organized diverse events to facilitate their interaction.

In the past, Muyin would not have agreed. Because she knew that Shen Huai would not agree. She did not want to cause trouble for Shen Huai.

But now, Muyin didn't know about these things. He only felt that it was rude to refuse the elder's invitation.

"I don't know about Shen Huai, but I'm filming at the Xiedian City now. I won't know if I'm available until the evening."

Sometimes, the notice sheet would change because of the weather, so the final decision would be made in the evening.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

"Yes."

Both the Shen and Mu families were occupied with their respective responsibilities.

An Suwan was in charge of the Muyin, and Grandpa Shen was in charge of Shen Huai.

An Suwan breathed a sigh of relief when Muyin did not refuse. As long as the young couple did not divorce, she still had a chance to be a grandmother.

An Suwan informed Grandpa Shen about Muyin's situation. Grandpa Shen was very happy and said that Muyin's availability should be the priority. He asked An Suwan to inform Shen Huai to come back only after she confirmed her decision.

An Suwan was pleased as she saw Grandpa Shen's attitude.

After hanging up the phone, An Suwan remembered that the driver causing the car accident had woken up. He said that he wanted to meet Muyin and apologize to her. She even forgot to tell him about the compensation.

Forget it. She would inform her when Yinyin came back.

Princess Xuan's father was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had three sons and five daughters.

The wife of the minister of the Ministry of Rites had passed away early, leaving the younger version of Princess Xuan.

Princess Xuan had always been subjected to harsh treatment since childhood. Her sisters harbored envy and disdain towards her due to her remarkable beauty.

In order to grow up safely, Princess Xuan had been hiding her edges. Her repeated escapes from various conspiracies may have appeared as mere happenstance, but in reality, they were all meticulously orchestrated by her.

During the Pageant, as the eldest daughter, Princess Xuan was naturally on the list.

In order to protect Princess Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites specially sent guards to her, which was also why she could save the ugly servant.

As she brought the ugly servant home, her sister could take the chance to vent jealousy on her.

On this day, the eldest daughter of the Xuan family brought people to besiege the ugly servant again.

She deliberately strode forward and bumped into the ugly servant, and then angrily rebuked, "How dare you offend the master! Come on! Beat her!"

Her second sister was going to enter the palace in a few days. Under the warning of the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the First Miss of the Xuan family dared not to humiliate Princess Xuan in public, so she could only take the ugly servant beside her as a punching bag.

Her second sister was born to the first wife, but she was actually a daughter of a concubine. Due to her status, she was prohibited from entering the palace and could not achieve success overnight.

So what if she had her father's love at home? In the face of interests, her father still treated her unfairly.

The ugly servant was pressed to the ground, and the guard hit her heavily on the back with a wooden stick.

She couldn't resist, as she couldn't cause trouble for Princess Xuan.

The ugly servant endured it silently without saying a word.

After being flogged, the ugly servant was dying.

"Ha, you are really vulnerable. Let's go!"

First Miss of the Xuan family left leisurely after flogging the ugly servant.

The maidservant passing by found the ugly servant and quietly went to report to Princess Xuan.

When Princess Xuan arrived, the ugly servant had lost consciousness.

She quickly sent someone to call the doctor and asked someone to carry the ugly servant back.

After more than ten days of treatment, the ugly servant finally recovered and regained energy.

"Ugly servant, are you feeling better?"

"I..."

The ugly servant wanted to get up and salute, but she was stopped by Princess Xuan. "Don't get up."

"Don't worry, ugly servant. I will definitely avenge you!"

After that, Princess Xuan shouted at the door, and the guards came in with a woman who was tied up.

"How dare you do this to me, Xuan Rong! Let go of me!"

"Apologize to the ugly servant!" Princess Xuan looked at her coldly.

"You want me to apologize to a lowly maid? Impossible!"

Princess Xuan chuckled and slowly spat out the word, "Beat her up."

The guard took the stick that was used to beat the ugly servant to flog Miss Xuan.

"Ao!" She cried out in pain. The intense pain caused her to lose her mind.

"Xuan Rong, you bitch! Go ahead and hit me! When you enter the palace tomorrow, I'll make that bitch pay double for the harm you've done to me!"

"Ah! Xuan Rong, you vicious woman!"

"Stop!"

She kept cursing, but the guard didn't stop. First Miss of the Xuan family couldn't bear it anymore.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I apologize!"

Princess Xuan raised her hand and motioned for the guards to stop.

"Go ahead."

"I... I'm sorry." She stammered.

"Speak louder. To whom do you apologize?"

"Ugly... ugly servant, I'm sorry!" First Miss of the Xuan family closed her eyes and almost finished the sentence with a roar.

Princess Xuan did not immediately ask someone to untie her. Instead, she turned to ask the ugly servant, "Are you satisfied?"

At this time, the ugly servant was buzzing in her head and couldn't hear anything else.

Her eyes were full of tears. Looking at the vague smile of Princess Xuan, she felt sad.

No one had ever treated her like this.

Not only did she not dislike her appearance, but he also stood up for her, openly hostile towards her sister.

She swore in her heart that she would protect Princess Xuan for the rest of her life!

"Satisfied?"

Princess Xuan asked again.

"Let her go," the ugly servant choked with sobs and spoke.

Princess Xuan waved her hand, and the guards untied the ropes on First Miss and carried her away.

Before leaving, First Miss of the Xuan family looked at Princess Xuan viciously. "Hide her well. It's best that she doesn't fall into my hands."

Princess Xuan smiled contemptuously, "Thank you for reminding me."

"Okay! Cut."

Muyin lifted the quilt and sat by the bed, wiping away her tears.

"Fortunately, it's over. If you had dared to cry just now, I would've killed you!" Liu Yuan took a tissue from her assistant and handed it to Muyin. She looked unfriendly.

"I almost couldn't hold back. It's all your fault for smiling so gently!" Muyin wiped her tears as she looked at Liu Yuan with a resentful gaze.

In the morning, she deliberately practiced her look in the eyes, and she really entered her role.

"Forget it. I'm very adaptable!" Liu Yuan shrugged, indicating her innocence.

"Pfft!" Muyin stopped crying and burst into laughter.

Seeing that she was no longer crying, Liu Yuan lowered her head and laughed as well.

"Phew." Muyin took a deep breath, turned around, and asked, "Do you have other scenes to shoot?"

"Yes. I still have a few scenes where I was bullied. I guess it will take a while."

"All right." Muyin shrugged. "Then I'll go back first."

"Okay."

The makeup artist came over to fix Liu Yuan's makeup. Muyin looked at Liu Yuan who looked like an abandoned little peacock.

After removing her makeup, Muyin returned to the hotel. She flipped through the notice that had been issued a few days ago. It was at least nine o'clock for her to receive any notice.

After dinner, she scrolled her mobile phone in boredom. Finally, at 9:30 p.m., the notice came out.

Except for a few scenes in the morning, she was available throughout the day.

She found An Suwan on WeChat and was about to tell her. But she realized that she didn't understand the rules of the production team. So, she'd better ask Little Peacock to confirm it.

She opened the chat interface with Liu Yuan and told her about her doubts.

Liu Yuan quickly gave her an answer.

Little Peacock: Your makeup is complicated, even if there are last-minute changes in the afternoon, they will not assign you any work. Don't worry. Just inform the production team about your business in the afternoon.

Muyin replied, "Okay!" Mwah, mwah!

Little Peacock: So mushy.

Muyin was naturally rebellious. She didn't stop until she had bombarded several kissing emojis in a row.

In the past, she didn't have to put on airs as a princess behind others. She would also play with her friends like this. Later...

Alas, why did I think of the past again?

Muyin shook her head, warning herself that it was all in the past and that she should not think about it anymore.

After getting the answer, Muyin sent a WeChat message to An Suwan.

An Suwan informed the Shen family as soon as she received the Muyin's message. Soon, the Shen family decided on the date for dinner the next day.

After receiving the message, Muyin booked a plane ticket, scrolling her mobile phone for a while, and went to sleep.

At the same time, Shen Huai, who was working overtime in the company, had just turned off his laptop.
