The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 658 She's A Ugly Woman
Oi! I am an article!
“What did I say was wrong?” Seeing that Hong Luan did not intend to admit wrong, She Jingtian's tone became increasingly cold.
“Hmph, just a moment ago complained to the City Lord. This woman is really not simple.” Hong Luan said discontentedly, looking hatred in his eyes.
Oi! I am an article!
“Min’er who told me.” She Jingtian replied nonchalantly, there was disgust in her eyes. He did not understand why the Hong Luan that he had trusted all along could become like this.
Hong Luan was unaware of the irritation in the man's eyes, he bit his lips and said, “City Lord, do you also want to side with him?”
“Hong Luan, don't talk much.” Bai Zhi had already seen the dissatisfied face of the City Lord under the moonlight. He secretly reminded Hong Luan.
Who would have thought, Hong Luan was even more so, “Didn't what I said be true? Why is it that women who are not clear of their origin and have only entered here for less than three months have been so cared for and protected by the City Lord?”
Oi! I am an article!
“I'm not on anyone's side. Although Ye Wushuang had only been less than three months living in the castle, she remained part of Wuyou Castle. You are all family, why can't you tolerate him?”
“You..”.
“Hong Luan, stop.” Bai Zhi faintly felt a killing aura in She Jingtian's eyes. Usually the man exuded a killing aura only on criminals, why could it be emitted to Hong Luan? Is he really angry? Or because of the woman they alluded to this afternoon?
Hong Luan had long admired She Jingtian, this was a fact known to the four hall masters. Frankly speaking, who of these four hall lords did not admire this handsome young City Lord? But everyone knows themselves, thinking their status is not enough to achieve it. Only Hong Luan was the youngest and most arrogant among these four hall masters. Even though he knew that the City Lord could not possibly fall in love with him, he dreamed every day and thought that he would have a chance.
It didn't matter when there were no other women around the City Lord before. But after Ye Wushuang's arrival, it seemed that the City Lord had changed. He became fond of going to Zhaixing Pavilion to meet Miss Min’er, he also ordered the people in the castle to better look after Ye Wushuang. Not to mention other specialties. A woman who had yet to make any contribution, could be so relied upon by the City Lord.
“City Lord, forgive the mistake Hong Luan has made. It doesn't matter if you want to get angry, but Hong Luan wants to say something. Don't you know that the real face of the woman is, actually she..”.
“Hong Luan.
Bai Zhi's loud voice did not manage to stop Hong Luan. On the contrary, Hong Luan increasingly said proudly, “There is nothing that cannot be said. The City Lord should know that. City Lord, do you know why that woman has been covering her face all day? Because he was an ugly person, having a face that made people who saw him could be a nightmare. You let such a person be by Miss Min’er's side, she could make Miss Min’er frightened. I think we should use this opportunity to expel that ugly woman from Wuyou Castle. Do not be seen by outsiders, thinking that everyone in Wuyou Castle is ugly.”
When Hong Luan said these words where she felt herself to be right, She Jingtian's expression was already unusually pouting. She Jingtian could imagine, Hong Luan alone could say such ugly words before her. Wouldn't it be that if this was spoken before Ye Wushuang, it would be tantamount to humiliation? In an instant, there was a sense of guilt and anxiety that for some time had filled his heart. He did not take care of Hong Luan well, he did not protect Ye Wushuang well until Hong Luan had a chance to injure Ye Wushuang.
