Chapter 103 Pretending to be weak while actually being strong



Prince Rong is the younger brother of the current Empress.

He had always had feelings for Jin Mulan and had once asked the Empress to grant him a marriage.

After consulting with Jin Mulan, the Empress rejected Prince Rong's request.

But Prince Rong did not give up. He would still visit the General's Mansion from time to time, and each time he would bring very valuable gifts...

Jin Mulan always told Prince Rong to bring these valuable gifts back, but in the end, her greedy older brother always accepted them!

Knowing her elder brother's character, Jin Mulan rebuked him without hesitation just now.

"Didn't Prince Rong have three wives and four concubines?"

Jin Mulan coldly retorted.

“At the very least, he is a member of the royal family… His Majesty’s own brother.”

Jin Yanfeng said excitedly, "His Majesty only has this one younger brother, and he treats Prince Rong very well. If you marry Prince Rong and have children, they will be of pure royal blood."

Jin Yanfeng did not continue speaking.

The late emperor had many children, but his favorites were Wu Xuanhuang and Prince Rong.

Unfortunately, Prince Rong was not cut out to be emperor. He was a prince who was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. His favorite things to do every day were gambling, playing with women, going to the brothel, the moon-embracing pavilion, and even the pleasure quarters!

Therefore, the late emperor passed the throne to Wu Xuanhuang, but with one condition: that Wu Xuanhuang should choose one of the sons of Prince Rong as the crown prince twenty years later.

What Jin Yanfeng didn't say was that he was telling Jin Mulan that if she married Prince Rong and had children, she might have a chance to be named crown prince or even become emperor.

"In the end, isn't it all about using me to enjoy wealth and luxury?"

Jin Mulan retorted coldly.

"you--"

Jin Yanfeng stared at his clueless younger sister, feeling frustrated and helpless.

The Jin family's current status is all thanks to Jin Mulan's achievements. No matter how unhappy Jin Yanfeng is, he doesn't dare to do anything to his younger sister.

Seeing that Jin Mulan was determined to marry Xiao Yu, he vented all his anger on Xiao Yu.

"It's all your fault! I don't know what my sister likes about you, you good-for-nothing! Get out of here! You're not welcome in the Jin family!"

After saying that, he reached out to grab Xiao Yu's collar, preparing to pick him up and throw him out.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Haining, who was standing outside the hall, frowned deeply and instinctively gripped the hilt of his knife with his right hand. However, considering that it was only Jin Yanfeng who was making trouble for Xiao Yu, he held back... If he got involved, it would only make things difficult for the prince in front of General Jin.

Moreover, our lord's cultivation level is not weak, so Jin Yanfeng shouldn't be able to do anything to him.

After a few thoughts flashed through Zhao Haining's mind, he slowly released his right hand from the knife hilt.

"Get out of here!"

Jin Yanfeng grabbed Xiao Yu by the collar, preparing to roughly pull him up.

Ha, did I give you face?

Out of respect for his wife and future father-in-law, Xiao Yu didn't hold a grudge against Jin Yanfeng, but he didn't expect the kid to become more and more rude and now he actually attacked him directly.

If anyone else had dared to do that, Xiao Yu would have at least crippled their hands.

"release."

Before Jin Yanfeng could exert any force, Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed Jin Yanfeng's wrist, coldly saying...

"hiss!!"

The pain in his wrist made Jin Yanfeng frown deeply, and at the same time, he released his grip on Xiao Yu's collar.

Then, Jin Yanfeng pulled hard on his hand, but his wrist felt like it was being gripped by an iron clamp, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

His wrists were red from being squeezed, and Jin Yanfeng gritted his teeth in pain. Then, he gathered all his strength in his waist and exerted force again...

Suddenly, Xiao Yu let go!

Losing his balance, Jin Yanfeng fell headfirst to the ground, even tumbling and rolling several times.

"You brat, are you kidding me?"

Jin Yanfeng was, after all, a second-rank martial artist, and with his status as Jin Mulan's brother, even in a place like the capital where powerful and wealthy people gathered, few dared to embarrass him like this.

After scrambling to his feet, Jin Yanfeng dared not be careless any longer. He glared angrily at Xiao Yu and roared, "What rank of martial artist are you? Do you dare to fight me?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Xiao Yu didn't indulge him and said calmly.

"good!"

Jin Yanfeng gritted his teeth and snorted, "Come on, let's go to the courtyard and have a fight. If you can't even beat me, then obediently get out of the General's Mansion and don't bother my sister again!"

"What if you lose?"

Xiao Yu countered with a question.

"I'll lose? Hahaha, I'm a second-rank martial artist, what makes you think I'll lose?"

Jin Yanfeng replied with a cold laugh, as if he had heard a funny joke.

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

Taking advantage of his confidence, Xiao Yu quickly said, "If you are defeated by me, then don't stop my marriage to Mulan."

"good!"

Jin Yanfeng agreed without hesitation.

Standing to the side, Jin Wu's face was full of worry. He walked over to Xiao Yu and advised, "You'd better not let him fight... Although my son is not very promising, he still has some talent in martial arts. If you fight him, you'll probably suffer a loss!"

How will you know if you don't try?

Xiao Yu deliberately spoke in a lack of confidence, "I will do my best!"

"Mulan, try to persuade him."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiao Yu, Jin Wu had no choice but to send his daughter to try.

"Let him give it a try and see what he can do..."

Jin Mulan naturally knew Xiao Yu's strength and cooperated well.

Seeing Jin Mulan looking at him with a half-smile, Xiao Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart, "If I do my best, this brother-in-law can't even withstand one of my punches!"

Try it and you'll die... Jin Mulan, are you perhaps hoping to be forced into a banquet?

"Enough with the nonsense, let's go and have the match!"

Seeing that his younger sister had said so, Jin Yanfeng became even more unscrupulous.

Xiao Yu is only in his early twenties, and he used to be an idiot, so his martial arts level probably isn't very high.

As for his wrist being grabbed earlier, it was due to a moment of carelessness; he hadn't used his full strength when he struggled. Just as Jin Yanfeng tried to struggle with all his might, Xiao Yu suddenly released his grip, causing Jin Yanfeng to stumble and fall several times in a sorry state.

"Walk."

Xiao Yu tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth so that he wouldn't look so happy and excited, lest his brother-in-law become suspicious.

Seeing Xiao Yu's "solemn" expression, as if he were facing a life-or-death enemy, Jin Yanfeng smiled disdainfully.

Jin Wu walked to his daughter's side, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice, "Mulan, the Xiao family is full of loyal martyrs. Xiao Yu is the only male heir of the Xiao family. If the rebellious son does not stop his power later, you must act in time to save Xiao Yu and make sure he is not hurt."

"good."

Jin Mulan nodded slightly.

What I was thinking was, I don't know who I'll save later!
