HRPM – Chapter 430 Too Many Nosy Scoundrels

The best part was that locking that lecherous cripple Xiao Luo inside the deserted hall to become mosquito food had been incredibly satisfying.

Xiao Che walked up to Jin Luoluo and looked down at her from above.

“Jin Luoluo, remember who you are. Don’t do anything inappropriate that will give people something to gossip about.”

The image of Jin Luoluo galloping away on horseback earlier that day still burned in his mind, filling him with rage.

It was the anger of seeing something that belonged to him coveted by someone else.

It was also the sting to his pride from being completely ignored by Jin Luoluo.

Since when had she cared so deeply about another man?

She clearly belonged to him.

Yet she had disregarded his dignity and fallen in love with his own Seventeenth Uncle.

He no longer knew what words could describe her outrageous boldness.

But the anger and the faint ache in his heart were undeniably real.

“What do you mean by ‘inappropriate’? What’s that supposed to mean?”

The fury radiating from him forced Jin Luoluo to take several steps backward to avoid the full force of his intimidation.

“You know exactly what I mean. As my future princess consort, you should know what is and isn’t appropriate.”

Jin Luoluo merely shrugged indifferently.

“I haven’t murdered anyone or committed some unforgivable crime. What exactly have I done that’s so inappropriate?”

“What a joke.”

“Before you start lecturing me, maybe take a good look at yourself first. Your character is far worse than mine. If anyone needs reminding, it’s you—not me.”

“I can’t be bothered with you.”

She stepped around Xiao Che and headed toward the exit.

Furious, Xiao Che grabbed her wrist.

A sharp pain shot through her hand as she tried to wrench herself free.

But his strength was astonishing, and his anger only tightened his grip.

“Are you pretending to be ignorant, or do you simply not care?”

“Jin Luoluo, I’ve tolerated you again and again. The ambiguous things you’ve done—if you’d been part of any other imperial family, you would have been executed countless times already.”

“My patience has its limits.”

“If you continue ignoring your status and carrying on ambiguously with other men, I won’t stand by and do nothing.”

“I’m carrying on ambiguously with other men?”

Jin Luoluo laughed coldly.

“Xiao Che, get one thing straight.”

“The people carrying on ambiguously are you and Yang Ruoyao.”

“Your affair is known to everyone. It’s caused an uproar throughout the court.”

“And you still have the nerve to criticize someone else?”

“Do me a favor and get your own house in order first.”

“If you dare play the first move, then don’t blame me for playing the fifteenth.”

Seriously…

She hadn’t even bothered interfering in Xiao Che’s affairs.

Yet here he was, trying to interfere in hers.
