Which eye of yours saw it?
She took in the cold mockery, contempt, and disgust from this fiancé of hers.
There was not the slightest sorrow or pain on Mu Yunxi's face. Instead, she gave a cool, unfeeling smile that was all the more captivating.
"I thought the Fourth Prince only had trouble with his eyes. Who knew his brain didn't work either? Who says wearing a man's robe means I slept with a man? Which eye of yours saw it? Go on, show me some evidence!"
Mu Yunxi had always been arrogant and brazen. Now that the original owner's fiancé kept trying to pick a fight, how could she let him have an easy time?
"Exactly. Fourth Prince, you claim my ninth sister slept with some wild man, but do you have any evidence? Without evidence, this is slander. A prince who breaks the law faces the same punishment as a commoner. Have you thought this through, Fourth Prince?"
With matters having reached this point, Mu Yunmo, who had stood beside Mu Yunxi as her protector all along, also questioned him coldly.
"How dare you! What kind of attitude is this? How dare you speak to the Fourth Prince like that!"
Beside them, the eldest master, Mu Zhenxiang, immediately thundered at Mu Yunmo and Mu Yunxi, his face dark and a vicious, sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
Even if only for his daughter's sake, he had to help the Fourth Prince break off this engagement today.
"Elder brother, what is the meaning of this? Yunxi is your niece too. Are you really going to let an outsider ruin a young girl's honor?"
Mu Zhenhai glared at Mu Zhenxiang and demanded angrily.
"Second Uncle, how can you say that? Ninth Sister took a lover. How could she possibly have been wronged? Who in the capital doesn't know she took a lover last night?"
Mu Yunjia, standing nearby, could not help sneering.
"And what do you think you are? Are you even worthy of standing here and finding fault with me?"
Mu Yunxi turned her icy gaze coldly on Mu Yunjia and snapped at her. That single look made Mu Yunjia shudder, actually giving her the sudden illusion of fear.
Even those nearby were somewhat cowed by Mu Yunxi's cold, commanding rebuke. Since when had this little good-for-nothing possessed such imposing presence?
"Then what do you want? If you want me to marry you, that is absolutely impossible. Neither the imperial family nor I will accept a woman with a bad reputation!"
Xuanyuan Jin did his best to suppress the disgust and disdain in his eyes as he looked coldly at Mu Yunxi and demanded in an icy voice.
"Breaking off the engagement is fine, but this young lady won't take a loss. You'll have to offer something in compensation!"
Mu Yunxi looked at Xuanyuan Jin, a sly gleam flashing through her cool, icy eyes.
"Ninth Sister, if you don't want to break off the engagement, as long as I'm here, I absolutely won't let you suffer any injustice. You don't have to swallow your grievances to keep the peace. Besides, with Grandfather here, as long as you don't agree, neither the Fourth Prince nor the imperial family will dare reject you!"
Mu Yunmo knew that his ninth sister had always liked the Fourth Prince. Hearing Mu Yunxi's words, he thought she was swallowing her grievances to keep the peace and immediately spoke in alarm.
At Mu Yunmo's words, a trace of displeasure flashed through Mu Yuyan's eyes. That damned Mu Yunmo! Who told him to stick his nose in?
Even Xuanyuan Jin could not help frowning at Mu Yunmo's words.
He had indeed deliberately come while Old General Mu was away. If Old General Mu were here, there would be no breaking off this engagement.
"Second Brother, don't worry. This young lady is pure and beautiful, so of course I'll find a handsome man even better-looking than the Fourth Prince. Still, the Fourth Prince ought to offer a little compensation as a token gesture, shouldn't he?"
Mu Yunxi had long since had enough of this damned stone-faced man who pushed people far too far, and the meaning behind her words was even more obvious.
She had no interest in someone like the Fourth Prince. He was only a prince, after all. What did he have to swagger about?
