“Jin Luoluo, if you keep acting this arrogantly, I…” Xiao Che’s chest rose and fell with anger. In the end, he stopped himself and said, “Forget it. We’ll discuss this matter later. Right now, you should focus your energy on dealing with everyone else trying to make things difficult for you.”
Part of Xiao Che’s anger came from Jin Luoluo’s completely unrestrained words and the way she plainly did not take him seriously at all.
But he also knew full well that this was simply her personality. No matter how irritated he became, there was nothing he could do about it.
The other reason, however, was Yang Ruoyao.
He had once told her that it was impossible for him to have only one consort, and she had responded gently and understandingly, always quietly waiting for the day he would marry her.
But was the woman Jin Luoluo described — the one who had gone to her residence to show off — really Yang Ruoyao? Where had all her gentleness and virtuousness gone?
He truly could not believe that a delicate beauty like Yang Ruoyao, graceful as a flower reflected upon water, would dare provoke his future princess consort. How could she be such a tactless person?
Yet from Jin Luoluo’s position, she had no reason to lie about this matter. Which meant Yang Ruoyao really had gone to see her — and had done so before Jin Luoluo had ever offended her.
“So are you helping me or not~~? Jinx, the moment of truth has arrived, hehe~” Jin Luoluo deliberately wanted to put him in a difficult position. Whether he helped or refused, he would offend one side or the other. Served him right for being unlucky.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t need my help?” Xiao Che shot back.
Jin Luoluo grinned smugly. “I don’t need your help, but seeing you caught between both sides feels absolutely wonderful~~ You don’t need to struggle anymore. Next you’ll start feeling heartache, because I’m about to start tormenting your beloved.”
“Jin Luoluo, don’t go too far.” Having already witnessed her poisonous tongue, Xiao Che naturally knew Yang Ruoyao was no match for this girl, so he instinctively tried to protect her.
“Hah, there’s much worse to come. That’s why, if you want to be my husband, you’d better train your ability to withstand emotional blows. Otherwise you’ll end up coughing blood to death from anger someday.”
Jin Luoluo leisurely stood up and loudly addressed the Empress:
“Your Majesty the Empress, I’ve already replenished my energy. Next, let me continue slaughtering wolves when I meet wolves, and when I meet fox spirits, I’ll rip off their skins. Miss Yang, you may present your challenge now.”
That phrase “fox spirit” struck directly at Yang Ruoyao’s sore spot, making her hands tremble with anger. She still had not avenged the humiliation of being chased out of the Jin residence by dogs last time — this time, she was determined to get her revenge back.
