HRPM – Chapter 29 The Stunning Beauty Jin Luoluo (1)

“If she could charm me? Even if every woman in the world were dead, I still wouldn’t spare her a second glance.”

Xiao Che scoffed in disdain. That ugly pig—trying to charm him? What a ridiculous joke.

……………………………………………………………………

After Jin Luoluo escaped from the Jin household, she didn’t leave the capital.

Instead, she hid in a basement.

She couldn’t stop worrying about her family. As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

The Emperor was fickle and unpredictable—what if, in a fit of anger, he took it out on her family?

Only after confirming their safety would she feel at ease leaving the capital.

After hiding for a few days, Jin Luoluo decided to go out and gather some information.

Disguised as a man,

she dressed up as a refined young gentleman. As soon as she stepped onto East Street, she saw crowds of people surging toward the eastern side.

“Auntie, why is it so lively today? Did something big happen?” she asked curiously, stopping a woman selling buns by the roadside.

The woman replied warmly, “Young master, you must be new to the capital! Recently, something major happened—His Majesty arranged a marriage between the Third Prince and Jin Luoluo, the daughter of the richest man in the land. But unexpectedly, that Jin Luoluo ran away from the marriage.”

“That alone wouldn’t be the worst part—the worst is that her father, Jin Gungun, actually helped her escape. When the Emperor found out, he was furious and had dozens of members of the Jin family imprisoned. I heard that today, at the East Market execution ground, they’re going to behead Jin Gungun, the richest man in the world.”

Clatter! Jin Luoluo’s white jade folding fan fell to the ground.

Her face turned deathly pale.

Father was going to be executed—they were actually going to execute him.

Just because he helped her escape the marriage, they would take a life so casually.

Jin Luoluo felt as if her heart were being cut by knives. Her father had been dragged down because of her. He clearly knew how grave the crime of fleeing a marriage was, yet he still sent her away without hesitation.

Father was so foolish… how could she let someone who loved her so much suffer?

No, she had to go back and save him.

Jin Luoluo was frantic with anxiety.

She heard the execution would take place at noon—there was only a little over an hour left. There was no time to go plead with the Emperor.

What should she do?

As she racked her brain, a sudden idea flashed through her mind.

That jade pendant—yes, it could save her father’s life.
