~ ENEMIES ARE EXTREMELY JEALOUS WHEN THEY MEET ~
Meng Yanran was tongue-tied, “You … . You are trying to force the truth!”
Mu Yunyao chuckled, “If you think what I said is wrong, then don’t come to talk to me again . After all, you and I have nothing to say to each other!”
Zhang Wan looked at Meng Yanran and sighed in her heart, ‘Even the Emperor wants to win back the hearts of the people, saying that the people are important, that the country is next, and that the monarch is least . But she openly and secretly mocked Mu Yunyao’s birth . Didn’t she merely want to be humiliated?’
“Pa Pa Pa!” A round of applause rang out, causing the five people in the pavilion to immediately turn their heads over .
Su Qingwu walked over with a young man wearing a narrow-sleeved white robe with an ink splash pattern on it . His jet-black hair was tied with a golden crown . Under his slender eyebrows, his phoenix eyes were warm and flawless . His face was sharp, and his facial features were profound and clear . He was self-cultivation and elegant that one could not help sighing with admiration: What a fine young gentleman!
Looking at him, Mu Yunyao was taken aback . The noise in her ears gradually disappeared, and only the handsome figure in front of her became clearer . A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the chill flowed through her heart through her limbs . She could even hear the sound of her own blood freezing .
She heard a soft whisper in her ear:
“Yao’er, it’s my greatest regret that I can’t marry you in this life and allow you to walk shoulder to shoulder with me . You can rest assured that I will treat you like pearls and treasures in the future . I will hold you in my hand and put you in my heart . You will be happy for the rest of your life, and I will not let you down…”
It was the man in front of her who had solemnly vowed and said that he would be happy for his entire life and would not disappoint her . But he had sent her unconscious’s body to Yue Wang’s residence the next day…
When he was gentle, he was like honey . Even when he was cold and hard like iron, he could still twist his fingers and bend his fingers . When he lowered his head to look at you, he is full of eternal affection, which made people feel deeply stuck and drowned unknowingly .
When she died miserably, she screamed out countless times in her heart . She wanted to ask him why he gave her away, why he used such a miserable method to humiliate her to death . Didn’t he say that she will be happy for the rest of her life? Wasn’t he regretful that he couldn’t marry her? Even if he has a kitten or a puppy, he should have had some feelings for it over the years . So, how could he be so cold and ruthless?
Upon seeing Su Qingwu, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and greeted him, “Greetings, Elder Brother . ”
Su Qingwu nodded her head, “Sister, this person is His Highness Jin Wang . Salute and greet him quickly . ”
Su Yuyi looked up and was looking at Jin Wang with a smile . Her eyes were warm and moist . Although there was a hint of amazement in her eyes, there was no infatuation in them . It seemed that she was merely appreciating, and with the addition of his exceptionally handsome face, Su Yuyi’s heart involuntarily began to jump, a blush flashed across her face quickly . “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang . ”
“Miss Su, please excuse yourself . I’m sorry for disturbing you . ” After Jin Wang finished speaking, his gaze landed on Mu Yunyao . “I presume that this person is Miss Mu, who has received a reward from Royal Father?”
Looking into those eyes, Mu Yunyao seemed to hear a cracking sound beside her ears . The surrounding sounds suddenly converged back together, and her blood also started to flow again . The chill in her heart slowly disappeared and was replaced with a thick hatred .
The corners of her lips curled up . Her pure autumn water-like eyes were clear and black . Under her bright smile, her eyes became even more brilliant and flawless . “Greetings, His Royal Highness Jin Wang . ”
“There is no need for Miss Mu to be so courteous . You have donated a hundred thousand taels of silver in Jingling City to give back to the people . Such kindness and benevolence are truly admirable . ”
“His Royal Highness is not bad either . The year before last, you ordered to go Longping City for disaster relief . There was a plague in Longping City, and as a Prince, you didn’t care about your own safety, took the risk, and survived with the people together . Last year, you went to Ningzhou to build the dam . You ate and slept with the river workers and protected tens of thousands of people’s safety in the lower reaches of the Honghe River . Until now, there are still many people who have built the memorial archway for His Royal Highness Jin Wang . This kind of courage and insight is something that ordinary people cannot compare . ”
Jin Wang’s eyes stirred as he looked at Mu Yunyao with surprise . “I didn’t expect Miss Mu to actually to know about this matter . It really makes me ashamed . ”
“His Royal Highness Jin Wang’s reputation is extremely great . Many people know about it, so it’s not strange for me to know about it . ” The corner of Mu Yunyao’s mouth lifted as she looked at Jin Wang with a gaze as bright as the sun on a peach flower . It was exceptionally bright and actually made Jin Wang momentarily absent-minded .
“His Royal Highness Jin Wang, why don’t you take a seat in the pavilion?” Su Yuyi, who couldn’t get a word in, spoke up .
Jin Wang shook his head, “Today is a banquet to welcome Lady Su and Miss Mu . I shouldn’t have disturbed you, but I just happened to come to see how Qingwu’s injuries were faring . I couldn’t help but stop after hearing what Miss Mu had to say just now . I won’t disturb you anymore . ”
Su Yuyi was stunned for a moment before nodding her head, “If that’s the case, then I’ll send you off, Your Highness . ”
Jin Wang nodded his head, and his smile became more and more gentle, “Today, I didn’t have the time to prepare the gift . I will make it up for Miss Mu another day . ”
“One cannot accept gifts without merit . I have no friendship with Royal Highness Jin Wang, so I dare not accept your gift . ” Mu Yunyao smiled as she shook her head .
Jin Wang paused for a moment before smiling, “You are as good as Royal Father said, honest and straightforward . It’s truly a rare sight . ”
“Thank you, His Royal Highness Jin Wang, for your praise . ”
Su Yuyi stood in the same place with a stiff face . She had heard many things about Jin Wang from her elder brother’s mouth and admired this Third Prince in her heart . She didn’t expect that the first time they met, his gaze wouldn’t land on her . Instead, she let Mu Yunyao got the limelight!
Meng Yanran once again lost face and almost went mad from anger . She grabbed Mu Yunyao in an attempt to find a way to make up for her loss, but she discovered that Mu Yunyao was like cotton that couldn’t be squashed, couldn’t be crushed, and no matter what you say, there was always a way to stop her from being speechless .
Mu Yunyao was very bored . Just as she was thinking about whether she should find an excuse to leave, she saw Su You walk over with the others . When she sees Mu Yunyao, her eyes lit up, and she waved: “Little Sister Yunyao, I’ve been looking for you for a long time . Come quickly . ”
Mu Yunyao stood up . “Elder Sister Su You has something to discuss with me . Please, excuse me . I hope everyone will forgive me . ”
Zhang Wan had already suffered greatly from the exchange in the pavilion . Now that she saw Mu Yunyao leave, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart . “Alright, Miss Mu, please do as you wish . ”
Mu Yunyao followed Su You out of Liulan Courtyard . After passing through the corridor, the voices faded away, and the seething hatred in her heart at the sight of Jin Wang gradually subsided .
Su You turned his head and looked at her, slightly snorting, “You little girl, shouldn’t you thank me?”
Mu Yunyao was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh out loud . She raised her hand to pat Su You’s head, “You’re still a little girl yourself, yet you actually dare to call someone else this way?”
“You are really ungrateful! If I hadn’t called you out, you would still be dealing with Meng Yanran!” Su You took two steps back to avoid Mu Yunyao’s hand, staring at her in disbelief, “You’re an idiot if you want me to say so . That Meng Yanran is just like a stone in the pit . Others even can’t hide, but you want to get close to her . Are you not afraid that you will be contaminated by the stench?” “It’s not that I want to go up . It’s that someone can’t bear to see my peace . ” Facing Su You, Mu Yunyao’s heart couldn’t help but soften . The girl in front of her still hadn’t reached her best of her life yet . But it looked like she was about to come to an end . . .
