Chapter 256: Chapter 256

Yun Ran couldn’t help but burst into laughter as soon as she heard this, especially after seeing his serious expression.

"A grown man, talking about reputation? About a clean name? Nangong Mo, are you trying to be funny?"

At these words, Nangong Mo was instantly displeased, his dark eyes narrowing as he said in a somber tone, "Who says a man can’t have reputation and a clean name? Lin Wanyue, please show some respect to your lord."

As a result, Yun Ran laughed even harder, clutching her belly and doubling over with laughter, completely without any image, "Re-re-respect you? Respect you for what?"

The man narrowed his eyes, giving a deathly stare, "Lin Wanyue, please be serious! Doesn’t the lord need his dignity?"

Yun Ran barely managed to straighten up, holding her chest with one hand as she desperately tried to stop laughing, "Alright, alright, respect, respect your dignity."

"But, you don’t even necessarily have a face, where’s the dignity coming from? Hahaha... Okay, okay, I won’t say anything, I won’t laugh anymore, stop staring." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Ying Yue had long silently retreated to the corner, trying hard to become invisible, stifling her laughter with much difficulty.

She tried so hard not to laugh aloud, her mouth twitching fiercely, and even her shoulders were shaking.

Ever since the lord got married, it seemed like he came to life, gaining a hint of worldly flair.

Although Ying Yue had already stood in the corner, she still couldn’t escape the keen eyes of her master.

Nangong Mo slightly tilted his head, casting a cool and aloof glance in her direction.

Ying Yue was startled out of her wits, instantly standing upright, "Lord, the kitchen is making fish soup for the princess consort, Ying Yue will go check if it’s done."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a gust of wind and quickly drifted away.

"Lord, look how you scared Ying Yue, are you planning to become a door god?"

At these words, Nangong Mo cast a somber glance, "Pity, I can’t scare you to death."

Yun Ran rolled her eyes, "I’m not that easy to scare to death! But, later on, you can go scare your old flame to death... Ahem! I didn’t say anything!"

Lin Yanran had long become impatient, burning with anger inside, cursing Yun Ran to bits, but still trying hard to maintain the nobility and grace of the Crown Princess Consort on the surface.

She sat there with the imperial decree of marriage tucked in her sleeve, with six maids standing behind her on either side, even the maids were dressed gorgeously, adorned with earrings and hairpins, looking very proud and pompous.

As Yun Ran pushed Nangong Mo to the door, Lin Yanran got up and greeted them with a smile.

"Sister, why do you personally push the wheelchair? Why not let the servants do such menial work?"

A delicate voice, a subtle tone, deliberately emphasizing the word ’wheelchair,’ along with that sincere and innocent expression on her face.

Yun Ran gave her a once-over, raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied lazily, "I like it! What’s it to you?"

Lin Yanran’s expression froze slightly, "Sister, I..."

"If one day you accidentally break your leg, I’ll push you too!"

Lin Yanran, suddenly hearing these words: "..."

Who is this vicious little wretch cursing?!

Seething with hatred inside, she still had to work hard to maintain her elegant and dignified demeanor.

Lin Yanran looked at Yun Ran with a face full of sorrow, her voice choked with emotion, "Sister? You? Did Yanran make you unhappy? Why would you curse Yanran ?"

Yun Ran patted her shoulder, "How is this a curse? It’s clearly a kind reminder!"

"As the saying goes, ’Unexpected storms in the heavens, unexpected fortunes and misfortunes for people,’ who knows what will happen in the future? What if you accidentally fall and just unfortunately break your leg?"

Lin Yanran took a step back with some disgust, desperately suppressing her anger, looking at Yun Ran pitifully.

"Sister, why can’t you wish Yanran well? Are you still holding a grudge because of Yanran’s past engagement with the prince?"

"I admit, the prince once took great care of and was very attentive to Yanran, but now that the prince has married you, Yanran sincerely wishes you both well."

[Tsk! What a lily swaying in the wind! Who are you trying to disgust by bringing this up on purpose?]

[You disgust me, and I’ll go back and beat up Nangong Mo!]

Nangong Mo, who had been watching coldly from a distance the whole time: "......"

What did the lord do wrong? Why is it always the lord who gets hurt?!

Thinking of this, he sent a cool and gloomy glance towards Yun Ran, who felt it but didn’t spare him a sideways glance.

She smiled as she looked at Lin Yanran, speaking earnestly:

"You are overthinking it! If you read a bit more when you have nothing to do, you should know the principle of ’the heavens move with certainty, life is full of uncertainties.’

"Otherwise, should I send you a wheelchair first? You can practice in advance, in case you suddenly break your leg one day and are caught off guard."

This despicable, wicked, should-be-struck-by-lightning, ugly little wretch Lin Wanyue!!!

How could there be such a vicious woman?!

Lin Yanran put a lot of effort into not letting the resentment and anger show in her eyes.

She looked up in surprise, glancing at Yun Ran with sadness and disbelief, retreating in a shocked manner, "Sister? You? How could you..."

Then the imperial decree accidentally rolled out of her sleeve, falling to the ground.

Lin Yanran immediately exclaimed in surprise, bending down to pick it up, but in her panic, she failed to pick it up and instead spread the decree open.

Thus, that imperial decree of marriage was laid out blatantly in front of everyone.

Unless one was blind, it was hard to pretend not to see those large characters.

[So this is all about flaunting her new title!]

[Crown Princess Consort? So she really managed to get Nangong Jue?]

"Miss, are you alright? You are now the esteemed Crown Princess Consort of our dynasty! You can’t afford any bumps or bruises."

Immediately, two maids stepped forward to assist Lin Yanran, saying particularly loudly as they glanced at Yun Ran.

Yun Ran simply pretended not to see.

Lin Yanran looked at Yun Ran subtly, speaking with confusion, "How strange, how did the imperial decree end up on me? Liu’er, didn’t I ask you to put the decree away?"

Immediately, a maid stepped forward and knelt down with a ’thump,’ "Miss, forgive me! Perhaps today Chief Gao personally came to announce the emperor’s decree of marriage, and in my excitement, I got careless... Please forgive this servant, Crown Princess Consort!"

The other five maids also cooperatively stepped forward in unison, kneeling in front of Lin Yanran, and fervently pleaded, "Please forgive Liu’er this time, Crown Princess Consort!"

[They can really put on an act! Even more than your old flame Nangong Mo!]

Nangong Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint swirling beneath, a few hints of threat.

What old flame! Ridiculous old flame! That brat doesn’t respect the lord’s reputation at all!
