Chapter 75 75: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (29)
"Hm?" Yue Ran raised a brow. "I thought who was it that had barked so loudly and so annoyingly," Yue Ran said. "It turns out to be the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Hui'an." She has always been fearless when acting and speaking her thoughts aloud. "How can an illegitimate daughter have a high enough status to be able to participate in this kind of banquet?"
Although the Marquis Hui'an has been in full swing in the court recently because of his success in gaining the Emperor's trust, Yue Ran's father's position as Prime Minister is still strong and unshakable.
Yue Ran does not have to fear anyone when she goes out of the mansion. What's more, Young Lady Bai is just the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Hui'an. Even if Young Lady Bai is the only daughter of Marquis Hui'an and is also deeply loved and favorably received by everyone in her family, Yue Ran herself does not care.
Going outside of the mansion, Young Lady Bai can never escape the words "illegitimate daughter," no matter what she does. She has been stamped as inferior from the very start of her birth!
(Author's note: This is not the author's opinion, but just the settings in this ancient plane.)
Young Lady Bai's face turned red, feeling immensely ashamed and embarrassed.
There was a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in this society. And being called an "illegitimate daughter" was the last thing she wanted to hear!
Because she was spoiled by Marquis Hui'an ever since she was born, she has always been reckless and fearless in whatever she does. And that was also the reason why no one dared expose her deepest scar!
But she had thoroughly underestimated Yue Ran's frank and reckless behavior!
With that said, Yue Ran had once again successfully defeated another noble young lady with words.
Yue Ran then shot a look at Yue Yu, as if telling him to help her get revenge on this noble young lady's family for trying to make the beautiful and charming her look awful in public.
Yue Yu blinked his gentle eyes at Yue Ran, meaning that he had assented to her request. The doting light in his eyes was glittering so clearly as he fixed his whole attention on Yue Ran.
This was such a simple thing for Yue Yu, so, of course, he would easily accept his beloved's request. Moreover, she has now been wronged. Making her happy would also make him happy.
It seems that he will get busy these few days. He should deal with all those who dared to go against Yue Ran in this banquet, as well as those who dared to speak badly of Yue Ran behind her back.
Those pests needed to disappear so that none would have the chance to dirty Yue Ran's eyes.
A cold light flashed past Yue Yu's gentle eyes.
Feeling satisfied with Yue Yu's response, Yue Ran tilted her head to focus on Ming Ze, who was sitting on her other side.
She closed her face into his and whispered, "Are you going to take revenge for me, A Ze?"
Ming Ze's heart trembled for a moment. It was mostly due to the excitement that gushed out of his heart from the fact that Yue Ran had voluntarily asked him for a favor.
Naturally, he would unhesitatingly reply "yes" to the person he held at the tip of his heart.
Receiving the answer she wanted to hear, Yue Ran's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, full of contentment, like a captivating little fox.
It looked indescribably charming and beautiful.
It was as if everything she had taken Ming Ze's assent for granted.
But Ming Ze himself did not mind it.
He could never refuse any of Yue Ran's requests.
A few days after the banquet, many noble children found themselves encountering accident after accident all over the capital, and none could find out the real perpetrator behind the scenes.
It was almost as if they had encountered some ghosts that haunted their beings, or they may have accidentally touched some dirty things recently without their knowledge. Their superstitious hearts led them to visit the temple on the outskirts of the capital, with very beautiful scenery and silent surroundings, in hopes that they could go through this tribulation smoothly.
Because of these incidents, there were rumors that the oldest princess' mansion is haunted by ghosts, and the oldest princess' family must have done something bad for this to happen, implicating the guests that had visited her mansion during the banquet she held.
The Emperor had to appease the hearts of his citizens, and threatened those who dared to speak nonsense. Although the rumors in the capital were forcefully nipped in the bud, the oldest princess' popularity still plummeted amongst the noble circle and also in the hearts of the people living in the capital.
Moreover, just because no one could speak about it publicly doesn't mean that they couldn't speak about it secretly to others. And thus, everyone related to the oldest princess, except those from the imperial family, was scorned, and everyone made excuses to avoid them as if they were ferocious beasts carrying threatening diseases.
Back to the present, on the other side of the banquet, the female protagonist, Xue Lu, who had never liked Yue Ran from the moment they first met, had to admit that Yue Ran's approach in this matter was extremely relieving.
To think that even illegitimate children dared to challenge her prestige...
That feeling was naturally uncomfortable!
If Xue Lu had followed her usual style of dealing with things, she would not have paid attention to such an unreasonable woman. She would only hide those uncomfortable and stuffy feelings in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Young Lady Bai refused to give up even after being stabbed at her weak point by Yue Ran. She was relentless.
"It is my fault for not being respectful to the two noble young ladies," Young Lady Bai said. "I would now like to apologize to the two sisters here; however, I am still curious about who among the two beautiful sisters is more talented than the other."
What do you think?
