Chapter 405: Inexplicable Hostility

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At their age, it was not difficult for the Duchesses to guess the truth.

‘The Sixth Princess suffered a huge loss this time, but this is the consequences she has to bear for trying to hurt the Eldest Princess…’

Because of Chu Changning and the King of Zhenbei, the two Duchesses were biased toward Yu Yunxi.

At this moment, someone said with a scoff, “I’m afraid everything was the Eldest Princess’ trap from the beginning.”

Everyone turned to look at Yu Zhen.

Duchess Yu scolded, “You bast*rd, what nonsense are you spouting?”

‘This brat is usually unreliable, but how can he say such words now?’

Yu Zhen raised an eyebrow as he smoothed his creaseless black robe and slowly said, “Ever since the Eldest Princess returned, all kinds of things have happened in the capital. The Eldest Princess is really amazing. Today, she made the Sixth Princess lose her reputation for no reason and even earned tens of thousands of taels of silver. “Yu Zhen, are you trying to anger me to death?”

Duchess Yu was dizzy from anger.

Yu Ting stomped her foot angrily and said, “Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you still drunk from yesterday? I’ll bring you to sober up now!”

After saying that, Yu Ting tried to pull Yu Zhen away.

‘It’d be terrible if Second Brother angered the Eldest Princess..’ At this time, a fair and slender hand grabbed Yu Ting’s wrist.

“It’s fine.’

Yu Ting looked up tentatively and met Yu Yunxi’s bright eyes. She blushed slightly and quickly retreated, looking like a frightened rabbit.

Then, Yu Yunxi stood in front of Yu Zhen and said nonchalantly, “Young

Master Yu, you seem to nave a preJud1ce against me.”

Yu Zhen sneered and said in disgust, “That’s because I saw your true colors. It’s not prejudice. I just look down on your actions.”

At this moment, Ying Jingtong, who had not left, came to Yu Zhen’s side and said sternly, “Yu Zhen, don’t talk nonsense.”

After all, Yu Yunxi’s identity was special. If she decided to punish Duke Yu’s Residence, they could only accept the punishment. It was fine if Yu Zhen was usually unreliable, but Ying Jingtong did not want Yu Zhen to implicate the Yu family. The relationship between Duke Ying’s Residence and Duke Yu’s Residence had always been very good, and he did not want Yu Zhen to seek death.

Yu Zhen was originally quite calm. However, as soon as he heard Ying Jingtong’s voice, he said snappily, “It’s none of your business!”

The atmosphere became tense immediately.

Duchess Yu coughed lightly and said nervously, “This is the Eldest Princess’ first time coming to the Temple of Eternal Peace. Why don’t you accompany the Eldest Princess for a walk, Tingting?”

Yu Yunxi cooperated and said in a relaxed tone, “Then I’ll have to trouble

Seventh Miss Yu.”

Duke Yu’s Residence was an old noble family and strictly followed etiquette. Only the first son and first daughter of the legitimate wife were given titles. Yu Ting who was the seventh daughter naturally did not have a title. As such, Yu Yunxi only addressed her as ‘Seventh Miss Yu’.

Meanwhile, Yu Ting’s face was slightly red when Yu Yunxi suddenly called out to her. She looked at Yu Yunxi with bright eyes and said with a nod, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”

Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi continued to say, “There are all kinds of people in the

Temple of Eternal Peace today. Why don’t you join us, Young Master Yu?”

Duchess Yu was afraid that her grandson would offend Yu Yunxi with his words again so she hurriedly said, looking hesitant, “Eldest Princess, he… he’s mischievous and…”

Yu Yunxi interjected with a smile, “It’s fine. I feel that Young Master Yu is a very frank and straightforward person.”

Yu Yunxi knew that this was her first meeting with Yu Zhen. As such, she was very curious about this hostility toward her.

At this time, Ying Jingtong suddenly said, “Eldest Princess, I’m free. Why don’t you let me accompany you and Sister Tingting?”

Duchess Yu and Duchess Ying quickly nodded in agreement. After all, Ying Jingtong was mature and sensible. He was definitely more reliable than Yu

Zhen.

However, Yu Zhen, who had been very resistant to Yu Yunxi earlier, suddenly shouted, “Ying Jingtong, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you be dealing with the refugees outside the city now? Why did you come to the Temple of Eternal

Peace? If you’re so free…”

“Yu Zhen,” Ying Jingtong called out coldly.

Duchess Yu clutched her chest and said anxiously, “T-tingting, you should hurry up and bring the Eldest Princess and your Second Brother to look around the temple.”

Although Yu Zhen was usually carefree and a little mischievous, he usually would not be so aggressive. However, there was one exception: Ying Jingtong.

Every time he saw Ying Jingtong, he would definitely lose his composure. Perhaps it was because Ying Jingtong was very outstanding so they always compared him to Ying Jingtong, which angered him. Now, there was another exception: Yu Yunxi.

At this moment, Duchess Yu thought that it might be a good idea to let Yu Zhen accompany Yu Yunxi. In her opinion, Yu Zhen might lose his impatience after leaving the courtyard and run away from Yu Yunxi.

With this, Yu Yunxi brought Qian Qing with her and left with Yu Zhen and Yu Ting.

Yu Ting said sweetly, “Eldest Princess, you’re so beautiful.”

All women liked to be praised, after all.

Yu Yunxi smiled slightly, and her tone became much gentler as she said, “Thank you. Seventh Miss, you look good too…”

Yu Ting was the kind of girl that made people want to protect her.

At this time, Yu Zhen said from behind, “You’re all blind.’

Yu Ting:

Yu Yunxi:

Yu Ting turned around and saw the careless expression on Yu Zhen’s face. She really felt like crying at this moment as she said, “Second Brother, can you shut

Seeing the pitiful expression on Yu Ting’s face, Yu Yunxi chuckled. She raised her hand and gently tapped Yu Ting’s head, saying, “It’s fine. Your Second Brother is just jealous of us.”

Yu Zhen scoffed.

‘What’s there for me to be jealous of?’

Yu Yunxi turned to look at Yu Zhen and asked bluntly, “I’m actually very curious about your attitude, Young Master Yu. I don’t think I’ve offended you, right?”

Without waiting for Yu Zhen’s response, Yu Yunxi continued to mutter to herself, “I’ve only offended a few people earlier. Could it be that you’re hostile to me because of Sixth Imperial Cousin? Do you like Sixth Imperial Cousin?” Yu Zhen retorted angrily, “You’re the one who likes that scheming shrew! ”

‘Scheming shrew? What a good description!’

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, “Then if it’s not Sixth

Imperial Cousin… could it be Miss Yang?”

Yu Zhen scoffed and said in disgust, “Who would like a woman with a belly full of evil tricks?”

Yu Yunxi:

“Then… You can’t possibly like the Empress Dowager, right?” Yu Yunxi asked probingly..
