The Aloof Prince Chapter 26 - A Dagger Hidden in Smiles
Wei Hanqiao cries gathered a lot of attention. Many people have heard that the Prime Minister had recently driven the second Madam and her son away from the residence because of theft. Today, seeing her in the middle of swearing and lamenting, the common people can`t help but be curious, if this matter and the third miss Mu have any connection? At the second floor, Mu Yunjin listened to Wei Hanqiao keep inciting things, she gave a cynical smile, and spoke to the second madam,
“Second mother, the sixth prince is unable to take care of such trivial matter, if you think you received unjust treatment, take it to the Prefectural Magistrate`s Office to report, Yunjin is available anytime, the Prefectural Magistrate Office will properly investigate this case.”
Below, Wei Hanqiao heard Mu Yunjin, she cannot help but be stunned in place. She looked above to see her bright and beautiful smile, for a split second, she seem to not recognize Mu Yunjin. Is this still the Prime Ministers`residence idiot third Miss Mu Yunjin? Wei Hanqiao had many things to say but all of it is stuck on her throat, she stayed put like a statue. That day she thought she could succeed making use of Mu Yunjin`s hand to make Su Biqing experience sufferings. Unexpectedly, this little s.l.u.t readily bit back a mouthful. Later, after she has been expelled from the house, she had thought, perhaps Mu Yunjin for the purpose of defending herself, coincidentally spoke those words. Then Yiyang awakened to tell her that Mu Yunjin caused his serious injury. At that time she cannot calm down, she had always want to go to the residence and properly vent, she hesitated, Mu Yunjin is about to become the sixth prince`s wife, openly crusading against her would not necessarily succeed. Thus she endured this feeling, until today when Hongxia came to call on her. She had to do it today, she just want to give herself justice, and conveniently ruin Mu Yunjin`s reputation in the process. Unexpectedly she has absolutely no fear, even encouraging her to go report that case to the authorities.
Wei Hanqiao`s heart is somewhat terrified, a terrible thought was brought to mind, could it be that all those years, Mu Yunjin`s behavior and appearance are just a complete facade? and this extremely shrewd person is the real her? But all this pretending is for what reason? don`t tell me Su Biqing incited this? But for what purpose? Wei Hanqiao can only think of one possibility, that Su Biqing is making use of Mu Yunjin `s playing the fool to eliminate threats from the Prime Minister`s residence. Such a thought, made her shudder. Mu Yunjin leaning against the window, saw Wei Hanqiao wrinkle her brows in contemplation, her facial expression ever-changing, aware of the 2nd Madam`s evil paranoia. No wonder she can only be a concubine, this melon head, is not really smart. Mu Yunjin picked up some sh.e.l.led peanuts from the table, in a snap of her fingers she skillfully threw them at Wei Hanqiao below, the sh.e.l.led peanuts easily striked Wei Hanqiao`s knee, Wei Hanqiao bend down in pain.
“Second Mother, today, in front of many people, you are deliberately ruining my reputation, I will pursue this matter until the end.”
Mu Yunjin sneered, various peering gazes fell straight to Wei Hanqiao`s body. Wei Hanqiao was speechless once again, to think that she was the one who received injustice, but instead now it was reversed. Truly Wrong Ah. But on second thought, he remembered her pitiful son, Wei Hanqiao`s anger welled up,
“I ruined your reputation? Then, you injuring your second brother, what do you have to say to that? your second brother, even if son of a concubine, is still your brother, I am not just teaching you words, but you are his younger sister, How vicious and merciless are you to strike your second brother to become crippled?”
Saying up to here, Wei Hanqiao wiped her tears, at the side, watching her at the side is an aggrieved aunt who cried.
“Your son, that is soon will take a wife and get married, was just maliciously injured by that girl, destroying his life.”“Destroyed after his mouth spoke forcefully and with justice, my son is concubine born, another Mu family`s eldest son, sooner or later it will be his turn to continue burning incense[1].....”
That aunt looked at Wei Hanqiao and lamented, glaring at Mu Yunjin`s direction, unable to bear she nagged at her direction.
“The third miss is indeed shrewish, no wonder within Flower b.u.t.terfly City your reputation is this terrible, to look so beautiful and alluring, but the mind is vicious!”“That`s right, that day I run into second master Mu, he has lost weight and is confined, truly pitiful.” “Hey, really unfortunate.”
The common people below commented, at the second floor Mu Yunjin`s mouth twitched, and was about to speak when a low laughter was heard from behind her. She turned to see Chu Li drinking tea, especially interested at the debate between Mu Yunjin and the common people. He is looking back to Mu Yunjin, his eyebrow slightly raised, quite amused. Mu Yunjin stares at Chu Li, then looked downstairs laughing loudly,
“Second mother, can you choose a reasonable point to groundlessly weave a story? I am a weak woman, how can I persecute a seven feet tall man? Do you think I am that person from the General residence, the valiant and formidable looking Miss Qin?”
Mu Yunjin really have never met Qin Muyue, she innocently looked below and blinked. She knows at the moment her appearance is quite shameless. But with regards to this kind of people stirring up trouble, she can be equally shameless or even more so. She could absolutely infuriate the opposite side! Mu Yunjin`s words, suppressed the mouth of the common people crusading against Mu Yunjin, after a while noise erupted again. Yes, third Miss Mu is a woman, moreover a particularly delicate and weak woman! Hey, the internal strife within an official`s residence is extremely serious, the matter today, maybe the second madam after being driven away, came to look for the third miss to vent her anger! The common people suddenly felt bored, one by one they dispersed, unwilling to wade on muddy waters. Seeing that the onlookers were gone, Wei Hanqiao`s eyes flickered, clearly not as confident as before, her heart secretly cursing at Hongxia that little s.l.u.t. This is just great, she not only publicly offended Mu Yunjin but maybe offended the sixth prince upstairs, indeed not a fruitful outcome to her labor. Wei Hanqiao`s face is full of obvious remorse, Mu Yunjin is unwilling to pay attention any longer, restraining her smile, faintly said.
“Madam Wei, you should polish your eyes, or else no one will be able to trust you.”
After speaking, Mu Yunjin closed the second floor window. She sat down back to her seat, she was somewhat thirsty, just as she was preparing to pour herself a drink, Ding Xian lifted the teapot and politely came over to help Mu Yunjin pour a cup of tea.
“Third Miss, here are some tea.”
Mu Yunjin glanced at Ding Xian, and picked the teacup and drank a mouthful.
“I`ve troubled Guard Ding”
“No trouble, no trouble.”
Ding Xian`s forehead gave off a trace of cold sweat, just a moment ago fromw what he had seen, this third miss, is really like what his highness has said, just like a small fox. Looking at Mu Yunjin wearing a smiling face, he immediately thought of a Chinese expression `A dagger hidden in smiles`[2], he even super regret telling her about Chu Li`s affliction of bird blindness. He saw Mu Yunjin take a piece of pastry, after a bite, she looked at Chu Li and opened his mouth to speak.
“Last night I said some things, did the sixth prince thought it over?”
“The right to decide the matter is in the hands of this prince.”
Chu Li replied indifferently. Mu Yunjin actually doesn`t very much mind his reaction, merely lifting her eyes toward Ding Xian, she unhurriedly spoke with a smiling expression.
“Guard Ding.”
Ding Xian saw her smiling at him, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
“I recently moved to listening flower pavilion but it is too quiet, I will have to inconvenience Guard Ding to help me catch some birds to bring back to the Listening Flower Pavilion to make it lively.”
A bird? Ding Xian felt his legs soften, at the moment he is wishing he could slap his mouth a few times, entirely blaming his big mouth, for telling third Miss Mu of his highness` secret. Luckily he still felt third miss Mu still has a bit of sympathy, fact that prove it, the third miss Mu, face still looks the same.
“Your highness.....”Ding Xian turned his sight to Chu Li`s direction, waiting for his reaction. Chu Li glanced at Ding Xian and in a low voice he spoke.
“Go.”Ding Xian nodded, and walked out of the room. Once Ding Xian left, Mu Yunjin leaned back on her chair, looked at Chu Li with a smile.
“Your body guard is highly skilled in martial arts, you are indeed blessed.”“You are beating around the bush, in the end, what do you want to say?”Chu Li revealed a cynical smile, suspiciously looking at Mu Yunjin.
“Simple, You have to make it clear that you do not want to marry me. The decision is in your hands after all. For you, this will not be difficult right?”Mu Yunjin proposed clearly. Chu Li heard, with a faint smile he said.
“You do not want to marry this prince this much?”“That`s right.”Mu Yunjin did not hesitate even a bit, pointing directly at him.
“I have never believed in fate and letting parents match-make, I only believe my eyes.”“Oh, certainly the situation does not seem right, so choosing their own husband is not?” Chu Li made fun of Mu Yunjin, regarding Mu Yunjin`s straightforward words, his heart suddenly gave off a wave of anger. Chu Li constant ridicule, made Mu Yunjin`s face collapse, she unhappily spoke.
“Earlier you and I were in the desperate situation of getting engage, now the emperor has left the decision to you, so long as you make it clear that you do not want to marry me, this engagement will not be valid.”Seeing her eager to break away from this marriage, Chu Li slightly frowned, and gave a sarcastic smile.
“You are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister`s residence, even if you do not marry this prince, Father Emperor will grant you marriage to another prince or possible to a son of another official, are you not worried about it?”“I`ll put off that discussion until after our extreme situation is done.”Mu Yunjin pursed her lips.
“After all you also do not agree right?”“What if this prince disagreed?”Chu Li very subtly raised the tip of his brow, slightly teasing Mu Yunjin. Mu Yunjin sees that Chu Li is deliberately making fun of her, she took a deep breath, and said.
“Then return my Jade, that thing is not for sale.”“If this prince does not return?”Chu Li replied, he looked at Mu Yunjin`s annoyed expression, his mood seems to lift. Mu Yunjin heard him and raised her brow. She softly laughed, then bowed her head, absentmindedly fiddling with her fingernails, as she drawled some words.
“If you don`t return it, His Highness` unmentionable illness, will be completely known by everyone in the imperial court!”
Oh my G.o.d! Yunjin you didn`t! that is sooooooo brave?! stupid?!
Yup it is official Mu Yunjin is `an act/talk first then think later` kind of person.
sooner or later it will be his turn to continue burning incense[1] - I think it means to continue the family line when the elders has pa.s.sed on.
A dagger hidden in smiles`[2] - It means being friendly but with hidden intentions.
