HRPM – Chapter 454 I Won’t Let Her Succeed

“I’m not interested in dancing. I’m much more interested in making money. If you’re willing to perform in the capital for free so I can sell tickets, then I’d be interested.”

Bulaya broke into a cold sweat. As expected of the richest woman around—even getting her to take medicine somehow turned into a discussion about making money.

Brother Luo… I’m sorry. Your bride is just too difficult to deal with.

Everyone present stared at the leisurely Jin Luoluo with expressions of frustration or helplessness.

Only Yang Ruoyao, who had been silently watching from the side, felt a bitterness welling up inside her.

So many people were worried about Jin Luoluo.

Even Xiao Che was.

From the moment she had walked into the room until now, Xiao Che’s gaze had not left Jin Luoluo for even a second.

He hadn’t even noticed that she had arrived.

Yang Ruoyao felt both heartbroken and furious, but above all, she was jealous—jealous that Jin Luoluo had completely captured Xiao Che’s attention.

Her first intuition had been right.

This Jin Luoluo was different from every previous princess consort.

The other consorts had merely been passing figures in Xiao Che’s life. They had left almost no impression on his heart, vanishing like flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon upon the water.

But Jin Luoluo had not only succeeded in making Xiao Che notice her, she had gradually piqued his interest.

Without even realizing it, she had thrown his heart into confusion, and little by little, he had begun to fall for her.

Jin Luoluo had stolen her Xiao Che.

She was nothing more than a latecomer. What right did she have to wedge herself between them, steal away her love, and take the place that should have belonged to her?

She would never let Jin Luoluo succeed.

Perhaps what had happened last night could be turned to her advantage.

Late in the night, in the pouring rain, an imperial uncle and his nephew’s fiancée had been clinging tightly to each other, supporting one another as they returned.

The time, the place, and the circumstances were enough to set people’s imaginations running wild. If word got out, who would believe there had been nothing improper between them? Since ancient times, what good could come of an unrelated man and woman being alone together?

Jin Luoluo’s reputation would certainly be ruined.

The Emperor and Empress would also be enraged. The imperial family’s honor was of the utmost importance—how could they allow her to tarnish it so casually?

Jin Luoluo would inevitably be punished by the Emperor.

A woman stained by such a scandal simply did not deserve to become a prince’s consort. The imperial family would never tolerate her.

“Brother Luo, you’re here! Jin Luoluo refuses to take her medicine. You have to think of a way to make her drink it,” Bulaya called out as she spotted Xiao Luo, who had just arrived a little late.
