Jin Luoluo leisurely crossed her legs and continued sharing her philosophy.
“I can’t even be bothered to spare her a glance. If she keeps to herself, I ignore her. If she foolishly comes looking for trouble, I’ll kick her aside. Isn’t that much better? A woman who doesn’t even amount to a sprig of green onion isn’t worth taking seriously. If you get genuinely angry over someone like that, you’re only lowering your own status.”
She simply didn’t have the time to waste fighting with a woman who meant absolutely nothing to her.
Of course, if Yang Ruoyao insisted on provoking her and asking for trouble, Jin Luoluo wouldn’t hesitate to make her regret it.
“But I just find her unbearable! I can’t ignore her. Every time I see her face, I want to tear it in half. The moment she opens her mouth, I want to slap her.”
Clutching her head in frustration, Muyun paced around the room in circles. Suddenly, she rushed excitedly to Jin Luoluo’s side.
“Jin Luoluo, I’ve decided—I want to work with you! I’ve heard all about your exploits. They say that at the palace banquet I missed, you fought her for hundreds of rounds and humiliated her so thoroughly that she wished the ground would swallow her up. You even called her something less than human! When I heard about it, I felt so satisfied. I still regret not attending and seeing that vixen’s miserable expression myself. I’ve wanted to get to know you for a long time. Will you join forces with me?”
Her eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically shook Jin Luoluo by the shoulders, leaving Jin dizzy.
“Stop, stop! Calm down.”
“Compared to dealing with a little vixen, I have far more important things to do. Right now, my head is full of problems—breaking off my engagement, organizing the carnival, developing explosives. Every one of those is a major matter. Who has the time to bother with some insignificant schemer?”
Muyun stared in shock.
“Breaking off the engagement? You want to break off your engagement with Brother-in-law?”
“That’s right. But it’s a bit troublesome. That jinx is cursed to bring misfortune to his wives, while I’m somehow immune to it. That’s exactly why the Empress insists on marrying me to him. I still haven’t figured out a good solution.”
If Xiao Che hadn’t been born with that curse, ending the engagement would have been much easier.
“Why do you want to break it off? Don’t you like Brother-in-law? I know plenty of girls who do.”
“Do you like him?”
“Of course not! The one I like is Brother Yu.”
Muyun answered with a cheerful grin.
Jin Luoluo shrugged.
“Exactly. I don’t like him either. Sure, he’s a prince, and he’s fairly handsome, but he’s just not my type. Since I don’t fancy him, naturally I don’t want to marry him. As for Yang Ruoyao, I honestly don’t feel much about her one way or another. Whether that jinx loves her or not has nothing to do with me. As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I can’t be bothered paying her any attention.”
