HRPM – Chapter 515 Each One More Cunning Than the Last

Xiao Yu was kindhearted and had always been the easiest for her to sway. She would start with him, then persuade the others one by one.

“Xiao Yu, if I could find someone else, I wouldn’t be asking you, would I? Please help me. You wouldn’t have the heart to see me so upset, would you?”

Jin Luoluo looked at him with the most pitiful, pleading expression she could muster.

Xiao Yu shivered.

To be honest, it was hard to refuse her when she looked at him like that.

But this time, he truly didn’t want to fall into her trap again.

So he tossed the problem to Xiao Che.

“Luoluo, if you can persuade Third Brother to do it, then I don’t mind joining too.”

After all, there was no way Third Brother would agree.

Xiao Che shot him an irritated glare.

So that’s the game you’re playing? Fine. If you’re throwing the problem at me, I’ll throw it at someone else.

“Jin Luoluo, if you can persuade Seventeenth Uncle to do it, then I’ll join as well.”

Seventeenth Uncle was the best at dealing with Jin Luoluo. He could handle her instead.

Xiao Luo broke into a cold sweat.

These two sly fellows… They don’t want to offend Jin Luoluo, but they don’t want to help her either. So they’ve dumped the problem on me and expect me to be the one who takes the heat.

Truthfully, he didn’t want to do it either.

“Cripple, are you going to refuse me too? I’m so pitiful. The two of them are obviously doing this on purpose. Please don’t refuse me. I’m begging you.”

Jin Luoluo blinked her eyes, clasped her hands over her heart, and looked utterly pathetic.

Xiao Luo didn’t want to reject her outright either.

The first person to stick his neck out gets shot. There was no way he was going to be that person.

So who should take the responsibility instead?

Obviously…

“Luoluo, this concerns the dignity of the imperial family. Personally, I don’t mind. But if you can persuade Imperial Brother to allow the three of us to participate, then we’ll naturally obey his orders.”

With that, Xiao Luo neatly tossed the hot potato to the Emperor.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Che silently applauded his brilliance.

Excellent.

If Luoluo failed to persuade the Emperor, she wouldn’t be able to take her frustration out on them.

“Hmph! Every one of you is passing the buck. You all think there’s no way I can persuade that old Emperor, don’t you? Don’t get so smug. Just you wait and see—you three are definitely going to be my models!”

Jin Luoluo was so angry she felt like exploding.

Each of them was more cunning than the last. They thought dumping the responsibility onto the old Emperor would solve everything.

Hmph. I’ll show them just how capable I, Jin Luoluo, really am.

That old Emperor can just wait to be conquered by me!
