The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort Chapter 27

The Aloof Prince - The Day she Reached Marriageable Age she will Marry
As soon as Mu Yunjin`s words fell, Chu Li who originally had a trace of smile, in a split second became cold and dark, his whole body shed an aura of bloodthirsty killing intent, his pair of deep eyes slightly narrowed, his pupils dilated. Mu Yunjin saw the sudden change of Chu Li`s demeanor, she saw in his eyes the intention to kill, her heart trembled with fear. She suddenly realize her complete blunder, this bird blindness is a taboo. The atmosphere inside the private room is very thick, suddenly the door was pushed open, with a sound of twittering birds singing, Ding Xian came in carrying a birdcage.
“Third Miss, I roamed half the market street, I was able to locate a merchant and bought a few of this crested Myna, I saw they were quite lively........”
Ding Xian did not finish talking because he felt that the atmosphere is weird, he became aware of cold eyes looking at him, Ding Xian slightly trembled, as he looked towards Chu Li. Seeing his cold eyes gazed at the birdcage in his hands, with eyes filled with anger and before he could react, Chu Li raised his hand, from his sleeves flashed a strong gust of wind, and waved it towards the birdcage. Suddenly the bird cage separated from his hands and was ruthlessly smashed to the wall, the birdcage split into pieces, and the little birds he had bought, no sound was heard from them as they fall to the ground motionless.
“Your Highness....”
Ding Xian`s next words got stuck on his throat, he had been with Chu Li for so many years, at the moment, how can he not know that he is is a state of fury. He looked at Mu Yunjin at the side, and saw her distressed eyebrows, her head hanging down, not looking at Chu Li, it was obvious that she was the one who angered Chu Li. Ding Xian paused, he looked at the dead birds on the ground, then his face paled, don`t tell him that....
“This subordinate is wrong, asking his highness to punish.”
Ding Xian immediately fell to his knees. Chu Li heard him, his eyes seemed ready to kill, his palm condensing energy, and is about to direct it to Ding Xian, Mu Yunjin rushed over, and grabbed Chu Li`s wrist.
“You must not blame him! He told it to me to convince me to give you the Jade. He is very loyal to you, just blame that he easily trust me and believed that I will swallow this matter into my stomach[1]”
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, at this moment Chu Li is so furious that he will actually go as far as to kill Ding Xian, she now knows the seriousness of this matter. She did not expect that Chu Li really minded this Bird Blindness issue.
“Mu Yunjin, Do you think that this prince will let you off?”
Chu Li swept his eyes on the wrist Mu Yunjin is holding, the anger in his eyes deepened.
“You want to kill as punishment, to the point of hurting a loyal person.”
Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li, gripping his wrist even more, for fear that Chu Li will suddenly act impulsively. Ding Xian looked at this scene, his heart felt helpless, this third miss Mu`s intention is not bad, but she does not understand his highness, she does not know his highness` biggest taboo. Today, he is afraid that everything points to disaster.
Chu Li`s face is really black this time, his eyebrow is shrouded with a layer of haze, he looked at Mu Yunjin who has some remorse in her eyes, suddenly he called back the energy on the palm of his hands, shaking off Mu Yunjin`s hands. Soon after, a pair of cold and serene eyes looked at Mu Yunjin and coldly laughed.
“Ding Xian, hear the command of this prince, the day Mu Yunjin reached her marriageable age, is exactly the time this prince will take her as my wife and will enter my residence.”
..........
On the road back to the residence, Mu Yunjin wore a face of defeat, she sighed, today she is completely clear with the saying to try to gain advantage only to end up worse off. Originally she believed that she can make use of his Bird Blindness to threaten Chu Li to cancel the engagement. But instead of being canceled, it contributed to this sudden development, and she also nearly lost her life. It seems that to face Chu Li, her skills are still a little shallow.
Arriving back to the Residence, just as she set foot inside the door, the housekeeper hurriedly approached her, giving Mu Yunjin an expression akin to disdain.
“Third Miss, the Master and the Madam have been waiting at the front hall for a long time.”
The housekeeper bowed to Mu Yunjin in ceremony. Mu Yunjin frowned, and glanced at the housekeeper.
“Waiting for me?”
“Yes, Third Miss immediately go inside, to make the master and madam wait for a long time is asking for a hard time.”
The housekeeper uttered. Mu Yunjin nodded, from the housekeeper`s words she caught two words `hard time`, She knew nothing good is waiting for her. Thus she walked over slowly to the front hall.
Inside the front hall, Mu Xiang and Su Biqing have been waiting for a long time for Mu Yunjin, they think that she is deliberately late. Their heart is filled with fury, especially Mu Xiang, he pounded on the table, facing Mu Yunjin who has just entered the door he suddenly bellowed with rage.
“Still not getting here!”
Mu Yunjin barely able to stand the anger of Chu Li and her feeling have not eased yet, and now Mu Xiang unexpectedly roaring with rage, any other person will feel frightened. Mu Lingzhu is sitting at he side chair, watching his father show so much fire, she felt so happy.
“What is going on?”
Mu Yunjin shouted back, she did not even pay her respect, and went straight to the point. Mu Xiang heard what was said, and he quaked with anger,
“Your brother`s injuries, did you really cause it?”
“Why did father suddenly ask this?”
Mu Yunjin asked.
“Hanqiao came just a moment ago, to request Yiyang`s clothes, and at the place of his injury as it turns out a shoe print was found, I went to your bedroom and took your embroidered shoe to compare, the veined pattern and size are not a fraction different.”
Mu Xiang after saying those words threw a piece of clothing, and looked at Mu Yunjin, he suddenly felt very strange, at first he felt that this girl has changed, but now he is immediately thoroughly disappointed. Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Yiyang`s clothes, she stooped to pick it up, on top you could really see clearly the shoe print. Since it is like this, Mu Yunjin have nothing to deny, reaching out with one hand, she pat the shoe print from the clothes, embarra.s.sed she laughed.
“In the previous years, Imperial Concubine Qin has bestowed me a lot of gold and silver jewelries. Almost everything has been taken by Mu Yiyang to p.a.w.n for gambling money, I sometimes do not want to give them, but he will beat and scold me, several times my whole body is beaten until bruised.”
Mu Yunjin dropped the clothing in her hands, and faced Mu Xiang and Su Biqing.
“Father and Mother did not know this?”
“Shameful! Even if your second brother beat and scold you, as a younger sister, you should just accept it! But I didn`t expect that you would go as far as......”
Mu Xiang angrily pound the table, his eyeb.a.l.l.s nearly pop out in rage. To the side, Su Biqing also sighed.
“Yunjin, in the former days you seldom talk, you were timid and afraid of getting involved, but I did not expect you would go to this extent. This is your second mother and father, anyway we cannot contain your extreme behavior, tomorrow you will get out from here.”
“Father, mother,”
Mu Lingzhu faced Mu Xiang and Su Biqing, somewhat with a regretful face she opened her mouth.
“To suppose that second brother really is throwing his weight around, then it is possible it provoked older sister, it is too much to expel older sister from the residence, Zhu`er is somewhat reluctant. It is not as good as punishing with Family Law, to punish by flogging fifty times, let second mother eliminate her anger, then let older sister apologize to second mother, what do you think?”
Mu Lingzhu`s words, let Mu Xiang crease his brows, he looked at Mu Yunjin and he felt that he must not hate iron for not becoming steel.
“Do you admit your mistake?”
Mu Yunjin looked at the whole family, and felt very sick, her mind can`t help but think of Aunt Zhang`s words that she is not related to them by blood. Her heart secretly look forward to what her own real family would be like.
“I will not admit any mistake, I will not apologize, I will not receive any punishment.”
Mu Yunjin continuously declared the three I will not, and provokingly swept her eyes to the three people in the front hall. Today, if worst comes to worst she will have a fall out with the prime ministers people. Anyway she does not care about her status.
“Bang!--”
After Mu Yunjin finished, Mu Xiang in anger had a sudden urge to attack, without thinking, he lift his hands to pick up a flower vase from the table, and smashed it towards Mu Yunjin. Mu Lingzhu looked at this scene with some excitement, she is looking forward to seeing Mu Yunjin badly bruised. Unexpectedly Mu Yunjin is still standing there, even when the vase is about to slam on her. She waved her hand and the vase suddenly reversed direction, towards Mu Lingzhu.
“Ah!....”
Mu Lingzhu quickly covered her face, scared, completely not expecting this sudden turn of events. Mu Xiang saw this, he was startled, with swift skills he quickly got up raised his legs to kick the vase that is about to hit Mu Lingzhu. The vase fell down on the ground, broken in numerous pieces.
“Yunjin, you impudent!”
The vase almost injured Mu Lingzhu, so Su Biqing angrily got up.
“Servants, tie up this rebellious daughter, today I must kill this evil creature.”
Mu Xiang angrily looked at Mu Yunjin, right at the side the old servant hired to keep guard suddenly roared. Hearing Mu Xiang`s words declare to kill, Mu Yunjin revealed a trace of contempt, she sneered, her demeanor not in the least scared. Mu Lingzhu is excited to wait for the following scene, truly the heavens does not turn his back to resolute people. Mu Yunjin this time will truly fall!
Soon, the servant is holding a bundle of rope, as well as few paddle sticks. Mu Xiang looked at him and gave a signal, intending to catch Mu Yunjin with the rope. Outside the door a sound was heard, a male voice--
“Imperial Edict is here---”
A decree! Mu Xiang and his people got distracted, then immediately go up to greet the guest, they saw Palace Eunuch Lu Gonggong slowly enter the door. They immediately knelt down to listen to the imperial edict. Mu Yunjin indifferently stood in her original place, like a statue. That Lu Gonggong saw this scene, he was all smiles when she faced towards Mu Yunjin.
“Third Miss Mu, this decree is for you, you need to come over to receive the imperial decree.”
Hearing that the imperial edict is for her, Mu Yunjin paused, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, nevertheless she still obediently went over, and knelt to the ground.
“Accept the Mandate of Heaven, The Emperor`s Imperial order speaks, Mu Family`s Yunjin, is dignified in behavior and appearance, her character and heart is deep. She is hereby conferred with a marriage to the sixth prince Chu Li. On the day she reached her marriageable age she will enter the Sixth Prince residence. This by the Emperor himself!”
The decree like a sudden clap of thunder, exploded on the front hall of the Prime Minister`s Residence. Yesterday at the banquet, seeing the sixth prince`s indifferent look they believed that this marriage will not happen. Who would have thought, today this edict of bestowal of marriage will come. Mu Yunjin bit her lip, she thought that Chu Li just said that he will marry her in a fit of anger, she did not expect that it is really true. Her heart momentarily has mixed feelings.
“Third Miss, please receive the decree!” Lu Gonggong gave the decree, as he smiled to Mu Yunjin. Mu Yunjin stood up to take the bright yellow imperial edict.
“Thank you Gonggong”
“Third Miss is needlessly polite, Having announced the imperial decree, from the bottom of my heart I am happy for Sixth Prince and Third Miss.”
Then Lu Gonggong`s line of sight fell on the floor, astonished, he cried out in alarm.
“Hey, What are you planning to do with so much rope and plank?”
Hi guys~
I don`t know if I should be sorry for Mu Yunjin for failing NOT to be engaged because of her OWN doing, or be happy because Chu Li have decided to marry her. Although romantic reasons are still maybe a little far off based on their current interaction. They seem to like to annoy each other every time they get. Ah, the thin line between love and hate.
Despicable Mu Family, thankfully she is not related to them by blood because they really are quite rotten. To say that just because she is the younger sister she should let the older brother beat her is insane for a father or even anyone to say at all. They really are not normal, the bunch of them.
Sorry for the cliffhanger... I will be back by monday with a double release.
`believed that I will swallow this matter into my stomach`[1]” - I think it means that he believed that she will keep it a secret.
