HRPM – Chapter 140 The Fiery Princess (3)

Yang Ruoyao shook her head and gently tugged at Xiao Che’s hand, urging him not to be angry.

“Forget it, Che. I understand Princess Muyun’s feelings. She loved her sister so much, and yet the Fifth Consort still couldn’t escape her fate. She’s grieving and just needs somewhere to vent. I can understand—I won’t blame her.”

Hearing this only made Muyun even angrier. It was obvious to her that her brother-in-law was siding with Yang Ruoyao and didn’t believe her at all.

“Stop pretending to be kind. I don’t need your pity. Just you wait—I’ll expose your true face sooner or later.”

Xiao Yu had already felt a headache coming on when he saw Princess Muyun. He had slipped into the crowd hoping to avoid her, but unexpectedly she started arguing with his third brother. Seeing things escalating, he quickly stepped in.

“Muyun, alright, alright—you didn’t come here to argue, did you? Come, come, Brother Yu will pick out a few nice outfits for you. Calm down and then head back to the residence.”

Holding a set of clothes signed with his name, Xiao Yu offered it to her.

Seeing it was him, Muyun felt both happy and aggrieved. Just as she was about to accept it, she remembered that he also seemed to favor Yang Ruoyao, and her anger flared up again.

“No, I don’t want it. Brother Yu, you’re siding with that vixen too. She’s so terrible—why can’t any of you see it? All of you like her. Why don’t you like me? I’ve treated you so well!”

The more Muyun thought about it, the more wronged she felt. What was so great about that vixen? It was one thing that her brother-in-law favored her—

but now even Brother Yu was helping her. No one was on her side. Fighting alone like this felt awful.

Xiao Yu felt a headache coming on. Muyun had always been willful, and for some reason had taken a liking to him. Ever since, she chased him all over the capital every day like a piece of sticky candy he just couldn’t shake off.

Although he didn’t dislike her, he had always only seen her as a cute and innocent younger sister—nothing more.

Faced with her unreasonable behavior, Xiao Yu was helpless. “Muyun, everything needs evidence. You can’t just accuse her of harming your sister without proof—who would believe that?”

“I already said I’ll find the evidence—it’s only a matter of time. Just wait and see.”

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Don’t you really like Xiangluo’er’s clothes? I’ll help you pick a few beautiful ones—come on!”
