Chapter 478: Chapter 459: I Don’t Care!
[Who else could it be? Isn’t it obvious right in front of our eyes? Hmph! A dog of a man destined to attract women like bees to honey!]
Grumbling inside, Yun Ran cast a sidelong glance at Nangong Mo...
The man sat leisurely with an aura of unmatched elegance, pride evident on his handsome face, as if saying:
This lord isn’t guilty, this lord has done nothing! This lord is pure and upright, a peerless good man! Young lady, do not slander this lord!
Yuan Feishuang gazed at Nangong Mo with a smile, unable to hide the admiration and affection in her eyes. With utter candor, she said to the Empress Dowager:
"Naturally, the one I have set my eyes on is Cousin Mo. Grandmother, what do you think of Shuang’er’s taste? Is it not excellent?"
The Empress Dowager’s expression froze a bit, seemingly surprised. She didn’t immediately answer Yuan Feishuang’s question, instinctively glancing at Yun Ran instead.
Yun Ran blinked softly, her smile gentle and sweet, "Of course, cousin’s taste is excellent."
"His Highness is as graceful as a noble pine, peerless in appearance, knowledgeable about both the past and present, exceptionally talented—a single sword in hand, roaming Jiuzhou for thousands of miles. Truly, how often can such a person be seen on earth?"
[Insidious, cunning, black-hearted, shameless, making trouble without reason; in terms of having no moral compass, he’s number one in the world!]
Nangong Mo: "..."
This lord doesn’t care! Anyway, she is praising this lord!
Yuan Feishuang furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Yun Ran with a face of inquiry and alertness, filled with doubts in her heart:
This woman is too cunning, barely a word from her mouth can be believed. What trickery is she up to now?
"Hmph! Do you think you need to say that? Of course this princess knows these things!"
But the Empress Dowager, upon hearing Yun Ran’s words, found herself at a loss for how to react momentarily, "Yue, you..."
Has someone set their sights on your husband, maybe even to the point of a royal marriage proposal, and you’re not the least bit bothered? Not jealous?
However, upon a second thought, the Empress Dowager realized this young lady was gentle, obedient, kind-hearted, and pure. Even if she were truly upset or jealous, she might just swallow her grievances for the greater good.
In that instant, the Empress Dowager’s gaze towards Yun Ran brimmed with boundless affection and pity.
Yun Ran: "???"
What kind of look is this? Why is she looking at me like that?
The Empress Dowager composed herself, speaking earnestly, "Shuang’er, your taste is indeed quite discerning. Jiulang is a rare upright gentleman in the world, unsurpassed in appearance, character, talent, and capability. Such a natural prodigy, it’s normal for girls to like him!"
Yuan Feishuang couldn’t help but delight, "Grandmother, so you mean to say..."
Yet the Empress Dowager suddenly changed her tone, "However, this Yue is a good girl, and she and Jiulang are newlyweds. A marriage alliance between two countries is a good thing. If you can marry into Tianchu, I would also be very happy. However, Jiulang is not the most suitable choice."
Yun Ran tilted her head slightly in surprise: [Newlyweds... really? Why does this young lady feel as if she’s been tormented by him for an eternity?]
Nangong Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, a cool smile tugging at his lips. Ha! Silly girl, you got it right! In the endless future, this lord will make sure to focus all his mischief solely on you!
Among everyone present, Yuan Feishuang was undoubtedly the most vexed!
She stomped her foot with some frustration, "Grandmother, what do you mean? Are you saying you’re against my marriage to Cousin Mo?"
"I have never said I would marry you, so how can there be talk of a marriage between you and me?"
