Lady Charm

The moment Luo Beiyu shouted, the maidservant was two or three steps away from Muyan. Somehow, she then stumbled and fell down with a thump.

Bang! With a loud noise, the dust rose and mist floated.

When the maid looked up again, her nose and mouth were covered all over with blood, and a large part of her front teeth was missing. She looked so horrible that one could hardly bear to look at her.

Muyan, however, held Xiaobao in her arms and didn’t even move a little. She watched the scene and smiled leisurely.

All the others present were silent for several breaths before someone reacted.

Guo Zifei hurried to help the maidservant up and looked at Luo Beiyu with her eyes slightly red. “Cousin Brother, how could you do this? Even if you really love me and blame me for leaving you, do you have to take it out on my maid? I didn’t expect you to be so narrow-minded!”

Luo Beiyu’s handsome face suddenly flushed because of anger.

Meanwhile Luo Beiyu’s maidservants couldn’t bear it any longer and one of them retorted immediately: “Lady Guo, don’t you cry and pretend to be noble! Who in Chiyan State doesn’t know that it was you who was greedy for power and wealth so you abandoned our prince, your fiance, and volunteered to be the concubine of Prince Second of Jingcheng State? Pah! A b*tch is a b*tch. Why bother saying that you were forced? It’s disgusting!”

“That’s right,” another maid echoed. “A concubine isn’t a wife, is it? When she gets old and loses her beauty, let’s see what good end she’ll come to!”

Now it was Guo Zifei who trembled out of anger.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked at Luo Beiyu with red eyes. “Cousin Brother, are you going to allow your maidservants to insult me like this? Have you forgotten that we used to grow up together? Do you really have no feelings for me?”

Luo Beiyu’s face darkened. He ignored her and looked at Muyan, “Master, let’s go!”

“Cousin Brother, at least you should ask the woman to give back my Qingying Fruit!” Guo Zifei suddenly raised her voice. “We watched over it for three days and three nights and picked it with great effort. Cousin Brother, you’re open and aboveboard—are you trying to rob other people now?”

“We lost several people in order to get this Qingying Fruit!” Guo Zifei’s maidservant also piped in.

But Luo Beiyu said indifferently, “The Qingying Fruit is my Master’s. I have nothing to do with it, so there’s no use asking me.”

Guo Zifei glanced at Muyan to see her snow-white skin and radiant appearance; Muyan looked even more charming than her.

She also noticed Luo Beiyu treating Muyan warmly and obediently. Without rhyme or reason, a fire of jealousy immediately rose up in her heart.

Muyan looked to only be in her late teens. She was tender and slender, much younger than Luo Beiyu.

How was it possible she was Luo Beiyu’s Master?

That title could only be an exclusive nickname between her and Luo Beiyu.

At the thought of Luo Beiyu loving another person so soon and unexpectedly, Guo Zifei couldn’t help but grit her teeth tightly.

Shouldn’t Luo Beiyu remember her for the rest of his life?

How could he move on to another woman so quickly?

Guo Zifei took a deep breath and looked at Muyan. She tried to speak calmly as she said: “Young lady, you heard it. It’s us who picked the Qingying Fruit, so please give it back to us.”

Muyan lifted her face with an apparent smile. “Oh? You said it’s yours, so that makes it yours? Why don’t you call its name and see if it answers? If it answers you, I can give it back to you.”
