Chapter 82 - Disgusting Scum
Yun Qianyu’s words caught Yun Lei and the old madam off guard. Immediately, they ordered Zhao Qingshan to bring the people from the kitchen over.
Yun Lei quickly stood up and apologized to Xiao Jiuyuan.
“Your Highness, this servant does not think like that at all.”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s beautiful face was stern and cold. However, this was not directed at Yun Lei, but at the woman in the middle of the hall.
Without looking back, Yun Qianyu knew that Xiao Jiuyuan was angry at her. She turned toward Xiao Jiuyuan then said softly.
“Your Highness, I’m just making an analogy. I do bear the title of future princess consort, right? If anything happened to me, people would certainly gossip about it. Thus in order to protect your name, I must clear myself from this crime.”
Yun Qianyu said it as though it was totally for the good of Xiao Jiuyuan.
Xiao Jiuyuan was so angry that it looked as though a cold ray had shot out from his eyes.
He then said softly, “If I discard you, do you think my name would be tarnished?”
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened. Aren’t we working together? I said I would deal with troubles on my own.
Aren’t I solving the problem on my own? I’m not asking you for help.
Yun Qianyu thought quickly how to solve this situation.
On the other side of the hall, Yun Qianxue saw that the handsome, domineering Xiao Jiuyuan could speak with Yun Qianyu calmly. His eyes did not look at the others from the beginning to the end.
Yun Qianxue burned with anger, but even so, she did not forget to show her best side. Her beautiful face covered with a decent smile, eyes with a gentle luster, and her voice gentle as ever.
“Li Prince, don’t be angry with my sister. She didn’t mean to.”
As soon as Yun Qianxue said that, Xiao Jiuyuan looked over.
His dark pupils looked at her sharply; a gaze that seemed to make people melt and tremble in fear. Immediately, Yun Qianxue’s cheeks glowed bright red and her heart fluttered. She looked to the ground and didn’t even dare to look up.
Although she knew that Xiao Jiuyuan was an outstanding person, she always thought that others were exaggerating it. Now that she had met him in person, she finally understood how enchanting and overwhelming his presence and aura was.
Li Prince, if you say the word, I would immediately marry you.
Yun Qianxue was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice the disdain on Xiao Jiuyuan’s face. He looked with disdain because he saw Yun Qianxue as a hopeless romantic. Outstanding woman in the city? More like an immature girl…
Xiao Jiuyuan turned and looked at Yun Qianyu. Although this woman was ugly, she is much more normal when facing him.
This made Xiao Jiuyuan very satisfied. Because of Yun Qianxue’s infatuation, Xiao Jiuyuan finally decided that Yun Qianyu was more qualified.
“Forget it, you are more normal. I will let you continue with the investigation.”
After listening to Xiao Jiuyuan’s words, Yun Qianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to thank Yun Qianxue for this. Thank you, sister, for your timely act of foolishness.
As she thought about her, Yun Qianyu turned to look at Yun Qianxue. The woman was still looking at the ground acting all shy. Yun Qianyu couldn’t help rolling her eyes and thought, don’t you see the disdain in Li Prince’s eyes? Why are you still pretending…
