2423 You’re Blocking this Lord’s Way
The fatty and his father’s wails quickly lured over several dozen Ultramarine Province guards.
When they saw the Chen Prince’s sullen expression and then looked at the fatty and his father, they didn’t even need His Highness to give the order. They cut to the chase and beat up the fatty and his father. Afterwards, they shooed away the spectating crowd.
“Fourth Imperial Brother, what are you doing here.” A sugary voice came from behind the Ultramarine Province guards.
Duan Yue turned and saw Vassal Prince Rong walk over with two women.
Vassal Prince Rong did not show much of an expression, but the two women next to him stealthily sized up Mo Lian.
Rong Shanshan was surprised. She didn’t expect the young man she encountered at the talisman shop to be on familiar terms with her fourth brother.
Rong Shanshan was still in that lavish red dress, and her eyebrows were traced exquisitely. She still walked while looking down her nose, obviously due to an ingrained pride.
The woman beside her, Rong Yuhu, was around the same age as her. In contrast, she had a much sweeter smile, and even her voice was sweet, tender, and delicate.
Truth to be told, Duan Yue didn’t really know these two women!
The Ultramarine Province Emperor had a bunch of sons and daughters with some he didn’t even know. How could he remember so many?
He could vaguely remember that these two women were the seventh and ninth princesses. He didn’t remember what their names were though.
Upon hearing Rong Yuhu call him Fourth Imperial Brother, Duan Yue creased his brows. This voice was so sickeningly sweet that it grated on his nerves.
“Princess Jiankang.” Commandery Princess Xiangchang walked over with a limp and curtsied to Rong Shanshan. She then turned to Rong Yuhu. “Ninth Princess.”
Compared to Rong Yuhu, Rong Shanshan was usually doted on. She was the daughter of the empress and a princess who had been conferred a title. Even though they were both princesses, Rong Shanshan naturally ranked the highest out of all the princesses.
Rong Yuhu nodded with a smile.
On the other hand, Rong Shanshan haughtily looked askance. She asked puzzledly, “What happened to you?”
This Commandery Princess Xiangchang looked to be a smart person. She didn’t expect her to be limping and spiritless upon seeing her today. Did she not feel ashamed greeting her while devoid of her bearing as a commandery princess?
Rong Shanshan mocked in her mind. Her gaze seemed to inadvertently pass across Mo Lian’s face as she asked Duan Yue, “Fourth Imperial Brother, who might this be?”
Duan Yue loathed to bother with her. He didn’t even look at her and just said to Mo Lian, “Let’s go.”
It truly was wretched dealing with the trouble the dumb*ss and his father had created.
Rong Shanshan’s expression instantly sank.
She was the daughter of the empress, the crown prince Rong Li’s sister by the same mother. Was there anyone who didn’t treat her respectfully in the palace?
Yet this son whom Imperial Father brought back from who knows where actually dared to ignore her!
Rong Shanshan abruptly turned around and gestured for her imperial guards to block Rong Yue’s path.
“Fourth Imperial Brother, what is the meaning of this? You’re pretending not to hear me talk?” She was used to being arrogant and could not stand this pent-up frustration. She glared at Duan Yue like this with a cold look.
Duan Yue scoffed. He told the Ultramarine Province guards behind him, “Move people to the side. Don’t you see a tactless dog blocking this lord’s way?”
This tone of voice and this attitude made Princess Jiankang quiver all over from fury.
