HRPM – Chapter 384 Who is the Murderer (1)

So when they finally arrived at Jinyun City for the night, everyone climbed out of the carriage both exhausted and thoroughly satisfied—everyone except Xiao Che, who was seething with frustration.

---

Because the annual temple fair celebrations in Jinyun City were approaching, every inn in the city was completely full.

Even with money, there was nowhere to stay. Moreover, the group did not wish to reveal their identities, so they chose not to notify the local authorities.

Fortunately, the Jin family owned businesses throughout the land, and the seven of them naturally took up residence in the Jin family’s estate in Jinyun City.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own rooms.

Jin Luoluo was in her chamber, listening to the chief manager of Jinyun City report on this year’s sales figures.

A knock came at the door.

Muyun entered, already changed into a beautiful new outfit.

“Jin Luoluo, I need to discuss something important with you.”

She looked unusually mysterious, her eyes flicking toward the manager in an obvious attempt to drive him away.

The manager had no choice but to stop his report and look awkwardly at Jin Luoluo.

Jin Luoluo found it strange.

She and Muyun were not particularly close, so what urgent matter could there possibly be?

You’re the rightful future princess! You should take Brother-in-law back from her and then humiliate her thoroughly.”

Jin Luoluo found this rather odd.

“Of course I won’t let her walk all over me. But someone like her isn’t even worthy of being my rival. Whenever I see her putting on airs, I can’t be bothered wasting my time dealing with her. What’s going on with you, though? You seem to hate her. Every time the two of you meet, your words are full of barbs and hidden knives. Did she wrong you somehow in the past?”

Yang Ruoyao certainly wasn’t a good person.

Could it be that Muyun simply clashed with her by nature?

Had she suffered at Yang Ruoyao’s hands and been secretly schemed against, leaving her still full of resentment and seeking out Jin Luoluo—a fellow ally—to vent her frustrations?

Muyun grew even angrier.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, her face twisted with rage, and she ground her teeth as she began to curse…
