Chapter Fourteen

  Furious, Murong Chen had just burst in, and before he could even open his mouth to speak to Murong Yi, he heard her cold ridicule and sarcasm. As someone who spent all day on the imperial court, he had never been ridiculed like this before. Even if at night he was like a beast, wandering around the backyard, indulging in the beautiful concubines and dancing girls, no one would ever say that he was promiscuous. But Murong Yi actually looked at him with a cold smile, questioning and ridiculing him. Suddenly, his old face turned bright red.

  "Since daughter got married, Father has changed his temper. If Father needs something, why not take a walk in the backyard? Of course, if Father doesn't mind Mother's old age and faded beauty, he can go to her chambers. Alternatively, if Father really disregards social norms, he can sit in Second Sister's room." Murong Yi slanted her eyes, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with increasing severity.

  "Bastard!" Murong Chen's mind was a jumbled mess, but at this moment, he couldn't think of a comeback to save his life.

  Ancient people are just hypocritical, openly having multiple women by their side, singing and dancing every night, the number of women they've been with is not less than a hundred, yet they still pretend to be saints! Murong Chen is so fake, if he didn't have an ulterior motive for coming, but truly came to care about Murong Yi, she absolutely wouldn't give him such a cold shoulder!

  If you're not a decent person, don't blame others for treating you like trash!

  "Hmm! Is Father introspecting? If so, it's not necessary. Some things are well-known to all, and Father doesn't need to mention them every now and then." Murong Yi smiled sweetly, absolutely gentle and kind, with a good attitude towards her elders.

  Murong's words were stuck in his throat, but he had no choice but to use Murong Yi, otherwise he would definitely let her know the consequences of disobeying him.

  Looking at Mu Rong Chen's gloomy face, Mu Rong Yi still smiled and said: "Father, is everything really all right?" As she finished speaking, she pulled Tian Er along, "Since Father likes this place so much, I'll let you have it."

  Words fell, ignoring Murong Chen's black and white intertwined complexion, pulling Tian'er from beside Murong Chen.

  Murong Chen suddenly called out to Murong Yi, "Halt."

  Suppressing the anger that was about to erupt from his body, Murong Chen made himself as calm as possible. This suddenly frantic eldest daughter had a use for him. "Tonight, go serve Prince Ziyuan of the Yan Kingdom." Straightforward and to the point, as her father, his orders were absolute and could not be disobeyed.

  So this is an order! An order that brooks no disobedience!

  Based on Mu Rong Yi's arrogant and overbearing attitude just now, Mu Rong Chen had already made preparations for her to refuse. It was only a matter of time before he thought of various ways to make her submit.

  But...

  Murong Yina's dark eyes narrowed slightly, gazing at the kicked-open door that had already split in two. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile, extremely endearing, and she said softly: "Good."

  "What?" Murong Chen was shocked and surprised, she had agreed so easily? Immediately thinking of the king's noble identity, Murong Yiding must have taken a liking to the king's status, that's why she agreed so readily, indeed a cheap goods!

  When she turned around, Mu Rong Yi's face was completely radiant with a smile. "However, I have one condition - within half an hour, I want to see the dowry Mother left for me. Remember, it must be everything. Don't even think about deceiving me, otherwise I will use all sorts of methods to make you all go down together!"

  Murong Chen gritted his teeth, "Alright!"

  Half a time later, Jiang Yue came to see Murong Yi with several people, and didn't dare to provoke Murong Chen.

  There were eighteen large boxes in total.

  Of course, Jiang Yue still had a stack of land deeds and house deeds in her hand.

  Actually, I have some appreciation for Jiang Yue and Murong Yi. At the most critical moment, Jiang Yue can clearly know what is most important to herself. If she is not seen by Murong Chen in the prime minister's mansion, it can be imagined how difficult her life would be!

  Originally, Murong Yi had planned to engage in a battle of wits with Jiang Yue, but she didn't expect Murong Chen to deliver himself to her doorstep. She would use him, and he shouldn't blame her for using him.

  "You really are a surprise, but these trivial things outside of your body, after tonight you will only become a cheap woman for the world to gossip about." Jiang Yue said coldly. These things were indeed what she had reluctantly accepted, but since Master had spoken, even if she was unwilling, she could only pretend to be willing, and she didn't dare bear the consequences of angering Master. For some wealth and goods, Murong Yi could sell her body, this behavior was no different from a prostitute's. She coldly smiled as she watched Murong Yi have nowhere to go in the future, and finally come crawling back to her!

  Murong Yi raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?" To become a woman of ill repute, talked about by people all over the world? It seemed like this reputation wasn't bad.

  "Think about how to dress up to win the emperor's favor." Jiang Yue coldly looked at Murong Yi, still with a cold smile.

  Murong Yi searched her memory, trying to confirm whether everything in front of her was real. Her cold eyes stared straight at Jiang Yue, "Where is the dowry list? The account book that my mother left behind?"

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue's eyes widened in anger and she said: "Since I've already sent everything over, there's absolutely no way I'll leave a single thing behind."

  Murong Yi didn't say a word and had already stretched out his hand waiting. If you believe the words of a yellow weasel, even a sow can climb a tree.

  Jiang Yue was furious and couldn't believe that Murong Yi was so difficult to deal with. When she handed over the receipts and account books, he took out several more deeds for the shops.

  Seeing this, Murong Yicen smiled and said: "Auntie, you've worked hard."

  The river is full of moonlight, what does it mean?

  "These years of hard work and careful management, now the business of these shops is really satisfying. Now that I think about it, Auntie must have been thinking day and night about how to make these shops bigger and better. Indeed, she didn't disappoint my expectations, Auntie is truly hardworking." Murong Yi said with a smile.

  Jiang Yue almost vomited blood, Murong Yi was pouring salt on her wound!

  ……

  After verifying that all the dowry was correct and there were no errors in the account book, Murong Yi coaxed Tian Er to sleep, saying it was coaxing, but actually just three simple words: be good, go to sleep!

  After a good day's rest, Murong Yi went leisurely to Lin'an Temple.

  Serving that enchanting and beautiful Empress who is even more lovely than a string of jade pendants?

  Serve? Serve your ass! Serve your whole family! However, Murong Chen and Jiang Yue are so obedient, she must give them an absolute thick gift in return!

  She stood in front of the Lin'an Temple gate, leaning against a carved flower pillar on one side, lazily blowing the cool night wind, without any intention of going inside.

  A moment later.

  A glimpse of a slender figure appeared before his eyes.

  Here...

  "Didn't think you'd actually come." Murong Yi curled up the corner of her mouth and looked up at the person who had arrived - Murong Yin.

  Murong Yin's heart skipped a beat as she furrowed her brow and looked at Murong Yi, "You were waiting for me?" How did Murong Yi know she would come?

  "After all, I'm the older sister, how could I not know what you're thinking, little sister? You have deep feelings for Prince Chen, and as your older sister, how could I steal the person who has captured your heart? Although I promised Father to serve Prince Chen, when I think of you, my heart just can't bear it. It's said that in the land of Ziyue, there are countless beauties, and with Prince Chen's noble status, he naturally won't lack beautiful women by his side. If you want to fulfill your wish, little sister, perhaps tonight is the only chance. By tomorrow, relying on your identity as the daughter of the Prime Minister, Prince Chen will surely give you a satisfactory position, right?" Murong Yiming said with a smile in her eyes, gazing softly at Murong Yin.

  Upon hearing this, Murong Yin looked at Murong Yi with vigilance. She absolutely wouldn't think that Murong Yi would be so kind-hearted. With a cold smile, she said: "Don't speak such sweet words. It's just that you yourself acknowledge that you're a withered flower and can't match up to the Prince, so you've had the intention of retreating all along. You're also afraid of not being able to report back to your father. Leave now."

  "Second sister, you're still a maiden after all, so it's only natural that you'd be shy. However, I've heard that Prince Chen dislikes women who are timid and reserved. If I were you, I'd be more confident. Look at the clothes you're wearing, they cover too much of your body, which will only make Prince Chen think you're being coy and manipulative. Which man likes it when a woman is being manipulative in front of him?"

  Mu Rong Yi looked Mu Rong Yin up and down, and indeed she had put thought into her attire. Mu Rong Yin was already born with a delicate and beautiful face, and after dressing up carefully, under the intoxicating moonlight, she looked like a celestial maiden, extremely beautiful.

  "There aren't many people left in the world, you can leave soon." Murong Yin frowned, impatient with Murong Yi's chatter. With her own extraordinary charm, she didn't need a discarded woman like Murong Yi to point fingers at her.

  Murong Yi smiled and shrugged, walking past Murong Yin's side.

  Murong Yin turned her head and took a look at Murong Yi's seductive figure, suddenly feeling a sense of disgust in her heart. She suppressed the unusual feelings that had been lurking within her and walked into Lin'an Courtyard. Since she had made up her mind, she would not turn back.

  After walking a few steps, Mu Rong Yi hid her figure behind a large tree and gazed at Mu Rong Yin's slender figure walking into Lin An Yuan. As expected, Mu Rong Yin took off the silk clothes on her body, leaving only a nearly transparent purple gauze.

  Wow, great figure!

  After a while, estimating that the time was about right, Mu Rong Yi took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards the sky: "The second young lady has been insulted!"

  Digression

  The show is on!
