Chapter Twenty: Uninvited Guest
"It's settled, you've made it clear how you've treated me all these years. Don't make people disgusted by pretending to be weak and asking for punishment now. It's still early, Tian'er and I need to rest. No need to see us off!" Murong Yi's gloomy gaze swept over Murong Yin and Jiang Yue, not caring about their expressions, and spoke with sarcasm.
Jiang Yue and Murong Yin were robbed of their white clothes. They had originally come to Xing Shi to ask for punishment, but unexpectedly, Murong Yi didn't even take them seriously!
"Murong Yi, now the whole city knows that you are secretly harming me behind my back. If it weren't for you, I would never have been completely discredited. I didn't expect that in these few years, you've learned a lot of tricks in the Huainan Wangfu and dare to scheme against me!" Murong Yin said angrily.
"You'll pay for this, you little scoundrel. Just you wait, one of these days I'll make you pay the price." Jiang Yue said irrationally, speaking without thinking.
The outside suddenly changed from light rain to heavy rain, and the sound of pouring rain became clearer with Jiang Yue's angry roar.
Murong frowned and ordered Tian'er: "Tian'er, don't look at or listen to the scolding of the woman." As soon as he finished speaking, he carefully covered Tian'er with a quilt.
The little boy nodded understandingly, "Mother, don't listen and don't look."
"Didn't you hear what my son said? Don't humiliate yourself here, get out!" Murong Yi's eyes were cold as she stared at the two of them, her voice several times colder than the rain outside.
A gust of cold wind howled, blowing against the wide open door, which creaked loudly. Mu Rong Yin and Jiang Yue, standing in front of the door, suddenly shuddered for no reason, their eyes fixed angrily on Mu Rong Yi, but even the most vicious words seemed to have no effect on her.
"Murong Yi, do you still want to go back to the way things were before?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked in a threatening tone. Zhang had been crazy for a long time, and in her deeply rooted memories and thoughts, Murong Yi used to be willing to do anything to please her and Yin'er, even if it meant being humble and submissive. That was because she had secretly harmed Murong Yi more than once back then. Since Murong Yi could be so easily manipulated by her back then, she should still be under her control now.
Murong Yin stepped forward step by step, not putting Murong Yi in her eyes at all. Standing in front of the window, she looked down on Murong Yi with a proud gaze, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on her face: "I was ruined by this matter, you can't escape either." Because of the ruined reputation, she was destined to marry a man with high status and power for life, or even choose a humble family as his wife.
If it weren't for... if it weren't for last night's events, how could she have become the laughing stock of everyone in the capital overnight? Although, although I don't know why, hearing someone gossip about Murong Yi's cunning and ruthlessness early this morning was somewhat unexpected. However, now that she has lost face!
Murong Yi's mouth twitched, this cucumber-born child was still a cucumber after all, and could never become a small chrysanthemum. Had their brains rotted? If they hadn't plotted against her first, how could she have been outsmarted? Now that they had lost, it seemed... they should be so arrogant, they should trample her underfoot. She let out a cold laugh, completely losing patience: "Get out!" The hands on the quilt clenched into fists, as if a chill aura was gathering in her palms.
It's not time yet, but if it were, she would have killed them without hesitation!
"Return to me all the dowry I gave you yesterday." Jiang Yue stretched out her hand, making a request that was beneath her dignity. Seeing this, even her own daughter couldn't help but wrinkle her brow.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi burst out laughing and said, "Madam, don't lose your dignity as the wife of a prime minister. When did those things ever belong to you? I don't want to repeat myself again. Scram!" If Tian'er weren't by her side, she would have spoken even more insulting words.
Suddenly, a familiar stinky and strange smell dissipated in the air.
Including Murong Yi, all three of them didn't react in time and saw two yellow things smash onto Jiang Yue's and Murong Yin's faces.
Murong's eyebrows jumped, and she turned her head to look. Tian'er's small face was cold and stern, and a little person could actually make such a heavy and cold expression like a man. Then, he heard his soft voice say: "I hate you! I don't allow you to bully my mother!"
Murong Yi's eyes sparkled, a warm current flowing through her heart, and a smile shone brightly in her eyes. She hugged the little bundle tightly, showering him with kisses. "You're indeed Mama's good son! Well done! You're so young yet you know how to protect me already. This cheap son of mine is really not bad at all!"
"Ah!" Murong Yin and Jiang Yue's hands touched, feeling sticky and smelling extremely foul. "What is this thing?!"
"It's freshly baked in the toilet." Murong Yiheng said with a smile. The killing intent that had just gathered at her heart was dispersed due to Tian Er's actions, and now she was in a good mood.
Murong Yin and Jiang Yue usually ate expensive things, but durians were not liked by many people in this era and were very cheap. They had never eaten it before. So they were extremely unfamiliar with the taste of durian. When they heard Murong Yi say that it was a toilet thing, they shouted loudly, but didn't dare to open their mouths wide.
"You're still not leaving? You want to stay and eat something?" Murong Yi suddenly stood up, approached the two of them, and asked with a sly smile.
Jiang Yue and Murong Yin cursed in their hearts, even if they wanted to stay and continue cursing Murong Yi, they didn't have the mood for it anymore. The smell was just too stinky! The two of them rushed out of the room like the wind.
Watching the two of them leave in a sorry state, Murong Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "This is too hilarious!"
"Mom, it smells so bad." Tian Er looked at the durian flesh juice all over his hands, the smell seemed to be right in front of his nose, and his small face immediately scrunched up pitifully.
Murong Yiliang suddenly came back to her senses, stopped laughing loudly, and pulled Xiao Baozi along, "Come on, Mom will take you to wash up."
In an instant.
The two girls washed up and had breakfast before returning to their room.
The uninvited guest always chose to appear in front of her at some point during the day. Mu Rong Yi stood at the door, her icy gaze fixed on Zi Yan Guo Zhen Wang - He Lan Ting, who was sitting leisurely in a chair.
A demonic man, a profound and unfathomable man, a man who seemed to have unwittingly borne a grudge against her.
He came uninvited, what does he want to do?
"Daughter?" Tian Er looked up at Mu Rong Yi.
Murong Yi gently stroked Tian'er's head and softly laughed: "Tian'er, go back to your room and rest. Later, Mother will teach you how to play chess."
"Uh-huh." Tian'er responded and left.
Murong Yi didn't close the door, standing in front of it, her enchanting eyes gazing at He Lan Ting, a smile rippling on the edge of her lips, as if that lip would move slightly and the smile would disappear. "The Crown Prince has arrived, I wonder what brings you here?"
Digression
The two of them met alone, what would happen then?
