Chapter 261: Chapter 261

Nangong Mo was hit, yet he smiled happily, "Are you angry now? Hmm?"

"You just insulted your master, and he wasn’t angry at all."

Yun Ran felt even more annoyed as she looked at his smile.

She rolled her eyes at him, "Let go of me, I don’t want to see your annoying face now!"

Upon hearing this, the man innocently touched his own face, "Very handsome! What’s so annoying about it?"

[Does being handsome conflict with being annoying?]

"Some people, the more handsome they are, the more annoying they are!"

In the next moment, her eyes were suddenly covered by his hand.

A low and pleasant voice drifted into her ears, "Then don’t look at me, I’ll just look at you."

Yun Ran was at a loss for words momentarily, but then she heard him speak sincerely:

"Lin Wanyue, I don’t like her. In the past, present, or future, it’s the same."

"Besides, there hasn’t been any sort of relationship between us."

Yun Ran was momentarily stunned, as a gentle ripple spread across the lake of her heart.

In the next moment, she snorted coldly, "Hmph~! Who would believe a sneaky, shameless, and unprincipled person like you?"

Nangong Mo frowned and opened a slit between his fingers to seriously gaze into her eyes.

"Lin Wanyue, you don’t believe me?"

"I don’t believe, not at all."

Nangong Mo thought for a moment, "I can prove it."

"How will you prove it?"

"I’ve kept my hands clean and haven’t even touched her finger. Now, I’m right here, you can do whatever you want to me."

Seeing his earnest demeanor, Yun Ran was dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

He then took out a stack of silver notes and placed them in her hand, speaking with utmost seriousness:

"Silver for you, my innocence for you, and myself for you, do whatever you want, I promise not to resist."

[There’s simply no word to describe this feeling of being speechless...]

Then, once again a seductive and tempting voice came to her ear.

"If you’re shy, I’ll take you back to the room now, and let you handle things, okay?"

[Okay? Okay my foot! What’s going on in your head all day?!]

Yun Ran pushed his handsome face away, which was leaning close to her ear.

"Nangong Mo, behave normally! Don’t push me into poisoning you."

The man innocently pressed his thin lips, "Then what will it take for you to believe I don’t like her?"

"How about, I let Da Bai go bite her to death?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran’s mouth twitched slightly, "There’s no need for such bloodshed."

"Hmm? So, what does the beloved consort think?"

Yun Ran quickly removed his hand from covering her eyes, staring at him intently, "Why don’t you admit that you’re Yun Mo?"

"Admit it, and I’ll believe you don’t like her and that there’s no past relationship between you. How about it?"

Nangong Mo was silent.

Is this something that can be admitted casually?

If he admits it now, wouldn’t he become a loner the next moment?

He would never admit it!

"I don’t know any Yun Mo."

"If the beloved consort doesn’t believe..."

He took out the large knife folded like a fan from her sleeve, unfolding it into a two-meter large knife, handed the handle to her, and with a resigned air said:

"If the beloved consort doesn’t believe, just chop me up."

Looking at his handsome face so close, Yun Ran felt her soul scattered in the wind.

[Is this the male version of throwing a tantrum and threatening self-harm?!]

[Such a perfect face! So gracefully enchanting and captivating!]

[But why does it come with such a manipulative and shameless heart that angers both man and gods!]

The man subtly smiled, "Beloved consort, why haven’t you acted? Could it be you’ve come to trust me?"

Yun Ran’s mouth twitched, "I trust you a ghost! Wishful thinking!"

The man closed his eyes, indifferent to life and death, "Then go ahead, do it!"

He waited a while and slowly opened his eyes, "Beloved consort is hesitant, are you reluctant?"

Yun Ran finally couldn’t take it anymore. She pulled out a pouch and opened it, revealing a dazzling assortment of colorful pills and powders in various sizes.

"Gut-busting pill, seven orifices bleeding capsule, nine springs smile powder, five-steps gut-breaking delight, go ahead and pick one!"

Seeing his handsome face stiffening and his mouth twitching slightly, Yun Ran finally felt a bit relieved from her long pent-up frustration.

[Ha! Nangong Scoundrel, finally it’s your turn to be speechless, huh?]

"Choose, why are you standing still? Dumbfounded?"

The man slightly lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and with a faint smile said, "If I must choose, is there ’death under the peony flower’?"

[What is he talking about?!]

Lin Yanran had her sedan chair carried straight to her courtyard and dismissed all the servants before getting out.

It was to prevent more people from seeing her current miserable state.

Jinsi stepped forward wanting to support her, "Crown Princess Consort, let me help you freshen up!"

Lin Yanran swung a slap across Jinsi’s face, and her gaze swept venomously over the six maidservants, "You useless dogs! Trash! All go kneel in the yard now!"

Jinsi covered her slapped face, "Crown Princess Consort, if you want to punish us, we will have no complaints, but please let us help you bathe and tidy up first. It’s not too late to punish us afterward!"

Lin Yanran calmed down after thinking about it; she had been chased all over the courtyard by that beast, filthy from head to toe, and the thought made her feel extremely disgusted.

"Hurry and fetch water! I need to bathe! I’ll deal with you afterward!"

The maidservants dared not delay for a moment, each pale-faced as they fetched water and started a fire for boiling it.

Mrs. Qin, upon hearing the news that Lin Yanran had returned to the mansion, smiled delightedly and instructed Nanny Tang, "Go and dish up the bird’s nest porridge simmering on the stove for the Crown Princess Consort; let’s take it to her."

When she reached Lin Yanran’s courtyard, the maidservants quickly greeted her and informed her that Lin Yanran was bathing.

Mrs. Qin was momentarily surprised, but then smiled knowingly, with a tinge of disdain and contempt in her voice:

"Well, Yanran went to that chaotic Prince Qin Mansion and met those cursed individuals including that cripple. Although she’s the Crown Princess Consort and won’t be affected by such vulgarities, it’s still a bit of bad luck."

"It’s necessary to properly bathe to cleanse the bad luck. Go tell the Crown Princess Consort not to rush, she can take her time washing up, I’ll sit here and enjoy the scenery."

Mrs. Qin waited patiently until Lin Yanran finished her bath, then hurriedly standing up with an undisguised grin of satisfaction.

"Yanran, today at Prince Qin Mansion mocking that crippled fool must have been delightful? Did she bow and perform grand ceremonies to you?" Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
