HRPM – Chapter 183 Battle Against the Mistress (1)

“Are you Jin Luoluo?”

The one speaking was that beautiful woman. She wore a goose-yellow phoenix-tail dress, with embroidered golden-lotus shawls draped over both arms. Her voice was gentle and elegant, quite pleasant to hear.

“I’m Jin Luoluo. Who are you? What do you want with me?”

Jin Luoluo noticed the woman sizing her up. She hated that kind of look, because it was the same look she herself used when evaluating the value of merchandise.

And when the beauty in yellow glanced at her bandaged hands and feet, there was even a faint trace of schadenfreude in her eyes.

Hmph. Those who come with ill intent never come kindly.

This woman was obviously no good.

“You don’t know who I am?” The beauty in yellow was none other than Yang Ruoyao.

A maid she had planted inside the Third Prince’s Manor had secretly sent word that the prince had gone to see Jin Luoluo again yesterday.

The news had infuriated her. Previously, she had tolerated Jin Luoluo staying overnight at the manor and Xiao Che helping promote her new products.

But Xiao Che was actually visiting Jin Luoluo frequently. He claimed he disliked Jin Luoluo, but did he really hate her, or was he slowly starting not to hate her anymore?

Men were all fickle playboys. Of course she would never believe Xiao Che’s feelings would remain unchanged forever.

So she was uneasy. Today, she had deliberately come to assess Jin Luoluo’s strengths and weaknesses before figuring out a way to deal with her.

Hearing the surprise in her tone, Jin Luoluo found it amusing inwardly. Did this woman think she was the Goddess Guanyin or something? Why should she know who she was?

Jin Luoluo’s tone turned cold. “Are you here to buy clothes, or to discuss business?”

Yang Ruoyao calmly replied, “Neither.” She was certain Jin Luoluo would ask what she wanted next.

“Green Sprout~~” Jin Luoluo suddenly shouted toward the outside. “See the guests out!”

After saying that, she picked up her brush again and resumed checking the account books, completely ignoring Yang Ruoyao’s shock and embarrassment.

“Hey! My young lady personally came all the way here to see you. Isn’t this far too rude of you toward her?” the maid behind Yang Ruoyao immediately shouted indignantly.

Every noble lady who came to provoke someone always had an arrogant maid who bullied others under her mistress’s authority. Truly an ironclad rule of romance novels.

Jin Luoluo slammed the table with a loud, frightening bang.

“What are you yelling for? Is this my house or yours? A mere maid dares act so insolently in front of me? If you dare utter another word, I’ll have my servants throw you out to feed the dogs immediately.”
