Up close, Yun Ran clearly caught the flash of disgust and disdain in her eyes. She couldn’t help but pity Nangong Mo.

Bird, do you think Nangong Mo will hunt me down if I bully her?

Does he look like someone who could be made use of?

It took Yunran a moment to realize what the bird was implying. The corners of her mouth twitched as she silently turned to look at Nangong Mo and replied seriously, “No.”

Nangong Mo was speechless.

Lin Yanran composed herself and looked up at Yunran pitifully. She was about to cry. “Sister, I…”

“You what? Of course, you won’t. You begged me to marry him in the first place.”

Lin Yanran was stunned and forgot what she wanted to say.

“Didn’t you cry and say that the Prince of Qin had been on the battlefield for a long time and fought against the various countries? You didn’t like him because of his ferocious nature and would rather become a nun than marry him? You even knelt down and begged me to save you with tears and snot. Have you forgotten?”

Lin Yanran was shocked for a long time before she found her voice. “You’re talking nonsense! This is all nonsense!”

Yun Ran blinked, and a bright and shady smile curved her lips.

“You also said that the Prince of Qin is gay and doesn’t like women but men.”

Lin Yanran was dumbfounded and so was Nangong Mo.

He didn’t know anything else, but this person must have made it up herself.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the girl’s slender and fair neck. His eyes were dark and dangerous.

Yun Ran felt an inexplicable chill and quietly shrank her neck. At the right time, she received a reminder from a certain immortal bird.

I don’t suppose any man could stand to be accused of being gay, could he?

Hmph! Anyway, the person he likes is Lin Yanran. Now that he knows that he married the wrong person, it’s not good to flare up now because there are too many people. He might just kill me later! In that case, I’m not afraid of offending him a few more times.

It seems to make sense. I can’t argue with that.

Yun Ran raised her chin and slowly extended a hand to Lin Yanran.

“Not only that, but you also said that as long as I dare to marry Nangong Mo, you will give me a thousand taels of gold as payment. Now that I have fulfilled my promise, pay up.”

Lin Yanran was stunned.

Looking at the hand in front of her, Lin Yanran couldn’t regain her senses for a long time. She couldn’t believe what she had heard and seen. When did she say those things?

This little bitch had always been a coward in front of her. When did she become so eloquent and daring?

Did she really think that she was a princess?

In the next moment, Lin Yanran turned to face Nangong Mo with a pitiful expression.

“Your Highness, I don’t know why my sister suddenly became like this. She’s crazy and spouting nonsense, but I’ve never said or done those things. Please believe me, Your Highness.”

However, Nangong Mo did not even lift his eyelids. He sat there lazily with a cold expression.

It was as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

Lin Yanran felt embarrassed, angry, and humiliated.

He was just a cripple!

How dare he treat her like this? It was already an honor that she was willing to talk to him!

Yun Ran blinked in surprise, her gaze shifting between Lin Yanran and Nangong Mo several times.

Hey, bird, has the Dog Prince… turned his love into hatred?

Not quite, according to this bird’s observation.

That’s pretending to be cold! On the surface, he looks calm like a flower on a high mountain, but in reality, he’s already crying his eyes out!

Nangong Mo narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and glanced at Yun Ran coldly.

Suddenly he wanted to see her in tears. What should he do to make it happen?

“Your Highness…”

Lin Yanran was a little indignant and squeezed out a tear. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was shouted at by Yun Ran.

” Are you calling for souls to come? Quickly return the money!”

Lin Qianqiu finally recovered from his daze. He walked up to Yun Ran and shouted,

“Bastard! What nonsense! Not only are you not repentant for your big mistake, but you’re also making up nonsense to distort the truth and slander Yanran! You’re simply stubborn! How did I give birth to a rebellious daughter like you!”

Speaking of anger, Lin Qianqiu raised his hand and struck at Yun Ran.

Yun Ran’s eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to teach him a lesson, a strong gust of wind attacked. It was domineering and sharp, instantly knocking Lin Qianqiu to the ground.

When Lin Qianqiu looked angrily in the direction of the strong wind, he saw Nangong Mo’s handsome but cold face, he was shocked and furious. “Y-Your Highness? You…”

“Is my consort someone you can touch?”

The man’s voice was cold, and his words were like ice. Killing intent descended, and the powerful pressure was suffocating.

Lin Qianqiu felt his heart beating wildly under the cold but empty stare of the blind man. A layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

“Prince, Prince Qin, I, I…”

After a brief moment of surprise, Yun Ran took two steps toward Lin Qianqiu and looked down at him with a smug expression.

“Didn’t you say that I was making things up to slander you? Show me the evidence!”

Lin Qianqiu was livid.

“You…” That rebellious daughter!

“You what? Are all of you from the Minister’s Office good-for-nothings? Can I, a weak woman, hide my marriage from all of you? What a joke! Who exactly is making things up for me to say?”

At this moment, the citizens around them whispered and basically reached a consensus.

“Although they each have their own opinions and it’s difficult to tell if it’s true or not for a moment, it’s impossible for one person to pull the wool over so many peoples’ eyes.”

Seeing that public opinion had already deviated from expectations, Lin Qianqiu couldn’t care less about losing his composure. He quickly got up from the ground and bowed to Nangong Mo.

“Your Highness, King Qin, please don’t listen to this rebellious daughter’s one-sided words. She’s trying to avoid punishment, distort the truth, and has ill intentions…”

He was interrupted by a voice as cold as ice.

“Minister Lin, my consort is not someone you can slander.”

Lin’s heart skipped a beat. A thin layer of sweat formed on his palms. “Your Highness…”

“And give the Consort the thousand taels of gold you owe her.”

When these words came out, not only were Lin Qianqiu and Lin Yanran dumbfounded, even Yun Ran was stunned.

She was just spouting nonsense but Nangong Mo actually believed her!

“Your Highness, it’s all that reb… ”

When he met Nangong Mo’s eyes that were as cold as a thousand-year-old pool, Lin Qianqiu was shocked and changed his words.

“Your Highness, I’ve not brought so much gold with me on this trip.”

“Feng Xuan, send Minister Lin back to the residence and retrieve the gold.”

“Yes!”

Lin Qianqiu looked at the tall, handsome black-clad guard who had appeared in front of him.

This was robbery! Daylight robbery!!!
