HRPM – Chapter 414 The Madam is No Good

Xiao Che had naturally noticed Jin Luoluo’s unusual reaction as well.

Everything suddenly became clear to him.

Then came overwhelming anger, followed by a faint bitterness that welled up in his heart, leaving him unable to resist mocking her with biting sarcasm.

So Jin Luoluo had actually fallen for Seventeenth Uncle.

Did she even regard him—her own fiancé—as worthy of notice?

Well… he knew perfectly well that she had never really taken him seriously.

But this was simply too bold, too outrageous.

She had actually fallen for one of her own elders.

That was practically incest.

If someone with ill intentions found out, the consequences would be disastrous. If word of such a scandal reached Father Emperor’s ears, not even ten lives would be enough to save her.

“Yeah, who’s meddling in his business? He can marry whoever he wants.”

Jin Luoluo’s own emotions were already in complete disarray, leaving her no room to care about anyone else’s feelings.

“Madam, where are my girls?”

After leaving the main hall, Jin Luoluo looked around the garden but couldn’t find the women she had just bought. She frowned and questioned the madam, who had followed them out.

The madam suddenly shot a look at the nearby thugs.

In an instant, a crowd of hired muscle surrounded them from all sides.

“Hmph! You’ve got some nerve causing trouble on my turf. I only let you keep making a scene earlier because I didn’t want to scare off my customers. You thought you could buy my girls with a mere one thousand taels? Let’s see whether you’ll even live long enough to take them away!”

The madam’s face twisted into a vicious sneer. Folding her arms across her chest, she looked every bit like the boss of a criminal gang.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Che immediately stepped forward, placing themselves in front of Jin Luoluo and Mu Yun in a protective stance.

Jin Luoluo’s two attendants also drew their swords, ready for battle.

“So this is a crooked establishment! You don’t honor your deals. You took my money and now you want my life too. Looks like you’ve committed plenty of dirty deeds, you old hag. Today I’ll be delivering justice on Heaven’s behalf. You dared provoke me, Jin Luoluo? Let’s see whose life ends here!”

Jin Luoluo had been looking for an outlet for the anger burning inside her.

This woman had practically thrown herself onto the muzzle of her gun.

How could she pass up the chance to vent to her heart’s content?

“Xiao Yu! Jinx! Beat this old hag up a hundred times!”

Xiao Che shot her an exasperated look over his shoulder.

“Can you be serious for once? Do you think this bunch is just here for decoration?”

Jin Luoluo’s eyes widened.

“No way… don’t tell me you two can’t handle this crowd! Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve already made all those bold threats. Don’t embarrass me now~~”

“Luoluo, in a moment, have your guards take you and Mu Yun away first. Third Brother and I will stay behind to cover your retreat.”
