Chapter 476: Chapter 457
Nangong Mo immediately felt the cool and murderous gaze from behind, inexplicably a bit guilty, subconsciously straightened his back, sat up properly, and remained silent.
Tianchu and Rouran are to have a marriage alliance? What does that have to do with me? I didn’t even know!
I’m definitely not going to marry for alliance reasons! So why should I feel guilty?
Just as Nangong Mo was about to sit even straighter to show he wasn’t guilty, he heard Yun Ran’s voice drift over:
[He’s now blind and disabled, with rumors of hidden ailments spreading far and wide, yet he’s still attracting admirers. If one day he reveals the truth, stops pretending...]
Upon hearing this, Nangong Mo’s heart paused, the confidence he just mustered instantly halved, and then he heard Yun Ran grinding her teeth softly:
[Wouldn’t admirers bloom all around, turning straight into a ten-mile forest of admirers?!]
[Wouldn’t I have nothing else to do but to wield my sword every day to cut down admirers?!]
[Or should I just nip it in the bud and bury him directly?]
Nangong Mo: "..."
He hadn’t said or done anything, yet he was going to be buried alive?
That deadbeat girl clearly stated that she fell in love at first sight with someone else, not him, childhood sweethearts weren’t him, shared innocent bonds weren’t him, moments that took her breath away weren’t him, gentle times weren’t him either...
The man suddenly clenched his fingers tightly. No! He had to say something!
"Yuan Feishuang, stop talking nonsense. I am already married and cannot marry another. The marriage alliance has nothing to do with me."
Yuan Feishuang was somewhat happy that he, usually silent, spoke so much to her, unable to suppress a little excitement inside.
So she quickly responded, "Cousin, of course, I know you’re already married! But she’s not worthy of you at all! Just divorce her!"
Nangong Mo’s face was as stern as water, his voice low and chilling, "Are you questioning my judgment?"
Seeing him seem a bit angry, Yuan Feishuang quickly shook her head and denied, "No, I’m not! How could I ever doubt your judgment, Cousin?"
"I just think she’s very cunning, definitely doesn’t seem like a good person, and she must have deceived you, Cousin!"
Yun Ran, listening on the side, felt very frustrated! She looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, reflecting seriously:
[Am I cunning? Do I not look like a good person? How do I not look like a good person? I clearly am a good person!]
[Clearly, the one who’s not a good person is Nangong Mo, right?]
Nangong Mo cast Yun Ran a glance without a trace, but spoke to Yuan Feishuang, "Deceived by her? Are you questioning my intelligence?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feishuang quickly denied, "No! That’s not what I meant! Cousin, you’re a natural genius, skilled in both literature and martial arts, unparalleled in wisdom and courage. How could I doubt you? I was talking about her, I mean, saying, um..."
Yuan Feishuang found herself frustratingly unable to explain clearly!
She just felt that cunning woman had deceived her cousin!
But obviously, her cousin was astoundingly wise and talented, so how could he be deceived?
Just as she was feeling conflicted and frustrated, Yun Ran shot her a light glance, her tone cool but her smile as warm as spring sunshine, "What are you trying to say? Can’t express it? See, I’m a good person!"
"This girl, you look so fair, but your heart’s so dark! Why do you falsely accuse a good person on first meeting?"
Yuan Feishuang: "..."
Anger! Upset! Annoyance!
She shot Yun Ran a fierce glare, "Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you don’t speak!"
"Exactly! I’m not mute, so of course, I have to speak!"
"You! You this person... You..."
Yuan Feishuang was so angry she didn’t know what to say. The brighter Yun Ran’s smile was, the more upset and angry she felt!
Just a step away from flying into a fit of rage.
Nangong Siyu hurried to mediate, "Ladies, please stop arguing! The Empress Dowager and others are still waiting, let’s hurry inside~"
Yuan Feishuang shot her a look and said angrily, "Who are you calling ’ladies’? If you can’t talk properly, be quiet."
From her stance, it was apparent she thought ’it’s either her or me!’
Being scolded, Nangong Siyu cutely stuck out her tongue, and sweetly called, "Cousin~~ Actually, Sister Yue is very nice~ You two might just have some misunderstanding. Once you get to know her better, you’ll like her just like I do~"
Yuan Feishuang looked at her with utter disdain, her gaze seemed to be looking at an idiot. Just before she could speak, Mrs. Hong walked over with a smile.
"My lords and ladies, why are you all standing here in the wind? The Empress Dowager has called several times already, let’s go inside quickly, come!"
As Mrs. Hong spoke, she directly pushed Nangong Mo’s wheelchair towards the palace garden, not forgetting to call out to Yun Ran, "Princess, did you enjoy the hunt? I heard about your feats..."
Seeing Mrs. Hong and Yun Ran so familiar, especially watching the three of them leave, Yuan Feishuang couldn’t help but snort coldly. Nangong Siyu, however, sidled up to her with a gossipy look and asked:
"Cousin, you mentioned Rouran wants to ally with Tianchu by marriage, and you want to marry Cousin Mo, is it true?"
Hearing this, Yuan Feishuang gave her an annoyed look, "Why are you asking? Is this something you should be concerned about?"
"Oh come on, Cousin! Just tell me! You’re my dear cousin~ Of course, I need to care a bit about your lifelong affairs!"
Faced with her coquettish tone, Yuan Feishuang wasn’t buying it, "Cut it out! When Cousin Mo got married, I didn’t see you being so concerned!"
"Well, that’s because I didn’t know at the time and missed it! So much that I’ll regret it for the rest of my life!"
Upon saying this, Nangong Siyu let out a long sigh, appearing genuinely regretful and upset, and Yuan Feishuang didn’t seem to think she was pretending.
She snorted lightly and said to her, "What’s there to regret for life? Just participate well next time he gets married, won’t you?"
Nangong Siyu was first stunned, then grasped the key point, "So, does that mean, Cousin, you really want to marry into Tianchu in alliance, marry Cousin Mo?"
Yuan Feishuang raised her chin, her expression lively, "Of course! Only a woman like me, who won’t be outdone by men, who grew up riding horses with a chivalrous spirit, deserves a War God General like Cousin, who gallops on the battlefield, gaining fame young, and dominating the world!"
