A Bared Fang Repaid in Kind
"Very well. Since Ninth Miss Mu has agreed, you may take your pick from the treasures in my Fourth Prince's residence!"
Xuanyuan Jin fell silent for a long moment before looking at Mu Yunxi and speaking.
As long as the engagement is broken off, that's all that matters. Even if this good-for-nothing enters the treasure pavilion, what could she possibly understand? She probably won't even know what those things are or what they're used for.
Besides, she won't be able to carry much on her own.
With that thought, Xuanyuan Jin readily agreed.
No matter how he looked at it, he stood to lose nothing!
But who was Mu Yunxi? She had always repaid every bared fang. Show her a foot of respect, and she would return a yard. When dealing with a scumbag like Xuanyuan Jin, she wanted even more to thoroughly vent her predecessor's grievances on her behalf.
This time, if she did not make that damned stone-faced bastard ache over his losses until he spat blood, her name was not Mu Yunxi!
This matter had only just been settled, and Xuanyuan Jin had yet to leave when cries of pain, loud enough to summon heaven and earth, came from the main entrance.
"Who is making such a racket at the entrance?" Hearing the commotion at the main entrance and seeing that the fourth prince was still beside him, his expression immediately darkened.
"Father, that sounds like Fourth Sister. Has something happened to her?"
Mu Yuyan spoke, her brows knitting with a trace of worry at the sound of Mu Luoyan's voice.
Already dressed in a white gown, she looked all the more gentle and lovely as water against her exquisite, beautiful face, making it impossible to look away.
Even Xuanyuan Jin could not help stealing a few more glances, secretly delighting Mu Yuyan.
"Let's go take a look!" Mu Zhenxiang put away the displeasure on his face and headed outside.
Everyone in the hall followed him out toward the entrance, leaving only Mu Yunxi with that faint, mocking half-smile still playing on her lips.
"Father, sob, sob, you have to avenge me! You have to kill that good-for-nothing for me..."
Mu Yunxi had beaten Mu Luoyan so badly that every bone in her body felt ready to fall apart. The moment she saw Mu Zhenxiang, she began tearfully pouring out her accusations.
"What happened? Who was it? Who beat you like this? Tell your father, and I'll teach her a lesson she'll never forget! How dare she lay a hand on my daughter, Mu Zhenxiang's daughter!"
Mu Zhenxiang's furious face twisted hideously.
"Father, it was her! It was that bitch Mu Yunxi! She beat me! Hurry and kill her!"
Hearing Mu Zhenxiang's words, Mu Luoyan immediately pointed at Mu Yunxi behind the crowd.
What?
Everyone in the Mu family was startled by Mu Luoyan's words.
What a joke. Who the hell would believe that Mu Yunxi, that man-crazy good-for-nothing, had beaten Mu Luoyan?
Who didn't know that Mu Luoyan's cultivation was at the peak of the middle Martial Master stage? How could the Mu family's little good-for-nothing possibly have beaten Fourth Miss? Give it a rest. That was simply impossible.
Even Mu Zhenxiang was taken aback, merely assuming that his younger daughter had come up with this excuse to give him a reason to beat that wretched girl Mu Yunxi to death.
"Father, hurry and kill her! Kill her!"
The moment Mu Luoyan saw Mu Yunxi, she recalled the humiliation she had suffered in the street. Her anger flared all the more, and hatred set her teeth on edge.
"Don't be anxious, little sister. Father will certainly see justice done for you!"
At that moment, Mu Yuyan likewise thought that her younger sister was using a self-injury ruse, all to have that bitch Mu Yunxi beaten to death so that her own position as the future fourth prince's consort would be secure.
Looking at the injuries on her own younger sister's body, her face filled with emotion. Truly, she was her own flesh-and-blood sister.
