The Aloof Prince Chapter 30 - To Reveal a Secret
Mu Yunjin`s eyes flickered, her chin slightly raised as she said.
“Third Prince, from which eye did you see that I am alone?” “Oh? is it possible that sixth younger brother also came?”
Chu Qing`s words fell, he looked behind Mu Yunjin, seeing that there was no one behind her, he cannot help but evoke a mocking laughter. Upon seeing it, Mu Yunjin sneered, and looked at those officials daughters, then looked at Chu Qing, and lengthy opened.
“Third Prince, today you had brought so many beauties, you should not waste you energy on me, you should go.”
At the side, this was the first time those official daughter ever heard someone daring enough to talk to the third prince like that. They were astonished as they looked at Mu Yunjin. Mu Lingzhu stood, from the moment she saw Mu Yunjin appear, her eyes turned gloomy as she coldly gave Mu Yunjin a sidelong glance.
“Miss Mu will become this prince`s younger brother`s wife, later on we will be of one family. This prince, as an older brother should spend a little effort to take care of you, Are you seeking the Abbot to get a token?”
Chu Qing bowed his head to look at Mu Yunjin, and faintly opened his mouth.
Mu Yunjin did not directly replied to Chu Qing, she frowned slightly, she felt that this Chu Qing is really quite annoying, although this person have not interacted much with her, yet she really felt annoyed.
“Older Sister, the Third Prince is asking you!”
Mu Lingzhu was quiet from the beginning, timely uttered, she paused before continuing.
“Here is the Third Prince together with the Fourth Prince, both are older brothers of the Sixth Prince. You, because you feel that you will be the Sixth Prince Imperial Wife even if you have contradicted Father and Mother at home, you should better be a little discreet here.”
Mu Lingzhu`s words, let Chu Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows, it especially raised his mood as he faced Mu Yunjin.
“Because you want to marry my Sixth younger brother, you contradict your parents?”
Lingzhu and Chu Qing`s words, made everyone look at Mu Yunjin with another layer of emotions. Mu Yunjin looked, and saw many of them looked at her with disdain.
“Lingzhu, I, in any case am your older sister, you better be a little tactful, stop using this kind of manner in speaking to me.”
Mu Yunjin spoke with a hint of contempt. Lightly casting a glance on Mu Lingzhu.
“Older sister, I just kindly reminded you that`s all, you do not have to take your anger on me.”
Mu lingzhu slightly drooped her eyes down, biting her lips, feigning an aggrieved look. Mu Yunjin upon seeing this, sneered, crossing her arms, she ruthlessly opened her mouth to speak.
“Lingzhu, it is not because you are secretly in love with the sixth prince for eight years and he is not marrying you? That you are going so far as to go against me?”
“Older sister, you....”
Mu Lingzhu didn`t expect that Mu Yunjin will brightly declare this matter out in the open, for a moment her face became deathly white. In front of so many people she is completely embarrassed. Chu Qing`s face smiled even more at this time, the corner of his mouth hooked up as he looked towards the two people on his side.
“Fourth younger brother, Eighth younger brother, since this Fourth young miss heart and affection cannot be obtained, it would be better to you both to stop, in any case she is Xi Yuan country`s number one talented girl.”
Hearing the words `Fourth younger brother`, Mu Yunjin slightly stared blankly, from the corner of her eyes she glanced at the person standing beside Chu Xin, the man from the beginning up to now have not opened his mouth. Fourth younger brother, could it be that he is the fourth prince Chu Ye?
“Third elder brother, this place is boring, let`s leave.”
Chu Ye lightly hummed, as he showed initiative to walk away, he passed through Mu Yunijn`s side, and cast her a meaningful smile. Chu Qing who heard, nodded, and also walked over. Mu Lingzhu at this moment is still standing on her original place, when everyone moved away, her gaze appeared like fire is about to erupt, her eyes are so red as she looked at Mu Yunjin.
“Why on Earth are you using this kind of expression to look at me? Mu Lingzhu, if you did not provoke me, I would not have spoken irresponsibly and revealed your secret.”
Mu Yunjin smiled mockingly, and walked forward a few steps. She walked beside Mu Lingzhu, and leaned close to Mu Lingzhu as she helplessly opened her mouth to speak.
“Just a moment ago, that is the Fourth Prince, it is said that Empress Dowager Zheng intend to match you with him? tsk tsk, too bad, I do not know if he will still want to marry a woman who like his sixth younger brother. Really a pity, you almost became my fourth sister in law.”
Mu Yunjin smiled cynically, as she looked as Mu Lingzhu glaring at Mu Yunjin. Mu Lingzhu`s body incessantly trembling, as she make a supreme effort to stop her tears from falling.
“Glaring at me is useless, you can only blame yourself, blame your rotten mouth, always saying things you should not be saying.”
Mu Yunjin then left to walk to the Buddhist hall. As Mu Yunjin left, Mu Lingzhu`s legs became soft and gave way as she sat paralyzed on the steps. Her tears rolled non-stop. Mu lingzhu bit her lips, and tightly closed her hands, her eyes full of killing intent. `Mu Yunjin, from now on, we cannot co-exist either I die or you die!
..........
Mu Yunjin walked the whole flight of steps and finally arrived at the top, it was a nice looking place and between the pillars you could see it named as `Zen Says`. She looked at the name of the temple, Mu Yunjin curled her lips, as she was about to go inside, a monk came out of the shadows, blocking her path.
“Please stay Lady Benefactor.” (Benefactor 施主 shī zhǔ a term used by monks to address a layperson.)
“I am looking for the Abbot to get a token for enter the Ancient Millenium Tree courtyard.”
Mu Yunjin directly made clear her intentions in coming, and looked at the monk. The monk listened, he faced Mu Yunjin and bowed in ceremony.
“The Abbot only receives three visitors a day. Today he already met three visitors. Please come again tomorrow.”
Hearing him, Mu Yunjin felt suddenly unsatisfied, she lifted her eyes to look at the plaque, her mouth can`t help but murmur.
“Buddhist hall, Zen Says, What is true Zen?”
Then Mu Yunjin turned around to leave. When Mu Yunjin has walked a distance, the Buddhist hall door that was originally closed slowly opened wide, an old man dressed in golden monk robes slowly walked out, looked towards Mu Yunjin`s departing back.
“She finally appeared.”
.........
“This temple fair is not interesting anymore, we should return.”
They walked down the steps, Mu Yunjin looked around, and could not find anything interesting. Zi Xiang is still a little dispirited, and sighed a little.
“We were not be able to see personally the Ancient Millennium Tree, what a pity.”
“We`ll come again next time, anyway the tree here will not run away.”
Mu Yunjin glanced at Zi Xiang, to comfort her. Zi Xiang nodded.
“Miss earlier with the third prince group, they seem to be not so friendly with Miss.”
“Yes.”
Mu Yunjin affirmed, as she and Zi Xiang walked back together. The two people in coming here did not ride any means of transportation so they walked the whole way, but after sometime they felt they are a bit far from the City.
“If I had known I should have asked a neighboring coachman.”
Zi Xiang looked around, her voice full of anxiety. Mu Yunjin heard, and mildly smiled.
“What are you looking for a coachman, there is a carriage here from the Residence, the Red Sandalwood carriage, right?”
“Eh? but that is the fourth miss...”
Zi Xiang is not yet done speaking, when Mu Yunjin pulled her to the area where the carriages are located. They walked over to the Red Sandalwood carriage, the coachman was taking a nap.
“Wake up.”
Zi Xiang went up to push him. That push immediately sobered up the coachman. He saw Mu Yunjin in front of him, slightly surprised, soon after he asked.
“Third Miss?”
“Yes, send me back.”
Mu Yunjin simply said. (I really want to add LIKE A BOSS! Hahaha)
The Coachman stared blankly, hesitantly said.
“What about the Fourth Miss?”
“Naturally someone will send her back.”
Mu Yunjin then climbed on the carriage.
“Zi Xiang, come up.”
Zi Xiang heard, and also immediately climbed up the carriage. They both went inside the carriage.
The Coachman upon seeing this, did not dare to say anything, as he drove the carriage out of the temple fair and away towards the city.
Inside the Temple, Mu Lingzhu and the others are preparing to go back, she saw her own carriage leaving, she need not think to know that Mu Yunjin is sitting is inside. Bullying intolerably!
.........
Returning to the city, Mu Yunjin did not directly go back to the Prime Minister`s residence, rather she looked for a restaurant, intending to eat a big meal. Inside a private room of a restaurant, very son the table is full of dishes. Mu Yunjin and Zi Xiang was constantly on the move since morning, so they are both very hungry, they picked up their chopsticks, and started devouring the food.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn`t have gone to the temple, this big meal is much better.”
Mu Yunjin said satisfied after eating a mouthful of beef. Zi Xiang heard, and approvingly nodded. The two of them ate their fill, Muyunjin looked at the hour of the day, it is between 1-3pm, they had enough visiting and eating, it is time to get back. Simply put, Su Biqing received gift boxes and she request it to be returned. She does not know what is waiting for her back at the residence. Such a thought, Mu Yunjin has a mischievous thought once again so she immediately settle her accounts, and went out of the restaurant to go back to the residence. Returning to the gates of the Prime Minister`s residence, Wang Bo saw Mu Yunjin, his expression is somewhat evasive, fortunately Mu Yunjin did not speak with him, but directly went inside. The front hall originally has a lot of gift boxes, but at the moment it had been cleared out. Returning to Listening Flower Pavilion, Mu Yunjin ran into Su Biqing and Aun Li, the two people saw her, eyes display an impenetrable meaning.
“The collected gift boxes are already sent to your Listening Flower Pavilion, originally I just helped you safeguard them, some were prepared to use as your dowry, after all you are a daughter from the Prime Minister`s house together with Mu Lingzhu and Mu Xiarou, I will not take anything of value from you.”
“Just now, those gift boxes that were sent, they are not lacking in precious things, you should choose, and treat is as a dowry.”
Su Biqing looked askance at Mu Yunjin, her tone if full of contempt and indifference, her gaze is full of disdain.Mu Yunjin listened to Su Biqing`s mouth full of sarcasm her mouth faintly smiled.
“Many thanks mother, however, the sixth prince already gave me thirty thousand gold to allocate for dowry, you really do not need to be troubled.”
Su Biqing and Aunt Li upon hearing, their complexion quickly became strange, their eyes revelaed a trace of astonishment, Thirty thousand gold? It is about the amount of the whole residence combined, at most they can only obtain twenty thousand gold nothing more, this sixth prince is unexpectedly generous in spending money, all at once giving Mu Yunjin Thirty thousand gold? Is it possible this Mu yunjin really bewitched the Sixth prince?
Seeing the bewildered expression of Su Biqing and Aunt Li, Mu Yunjin immediately drove the knife further on their sore spot.
“It is said that the matter about fourth younger sister adoring the sixth prince is now known by the fourth prince, this time I do not know if the fourth prince would still wish to marry her. Apparently mother should carefully prepare fourth younger sister some good dowry, otherwise, in the future you will worry about marrying her off...”
Mu Yunjin finished speaking, her lips carrying a smile, then she pulled Zi Xiang to go forward inside the Listening Flower Pavilion, and with a loud Bang she closed the door. Leaving Su Biqing and Aunt Li outside the door. Aunt Li upon seeing this, suddenly cursed.
“This lowly wench, this recent days she has really opposed us.”
Su Biqing coldly smiled.
“Follow her, anyway she stays no more than tonight.”
