Watching Mo Lan's departing figure, the four were a little confused, especially Yue Qun, whose expression was extremely distorted. He had already introduced himself, but this woman seemed to have no fear at all.
However, upon further reflection, he couldn't help but sneer. What kind of existence was the Music Pavilion? Anyone with face and status knew it.
Trying to put on an act in front of him? Humph, he'll wait for the moment this woman cries.
"This girl is really interesting. I've never been insulted like this before," Xiao Liu said, opening her folding fan with a whoosh and fanning herself vigorously a few times to clear her head and shiver before closing the fan.
"This young lady seems to know a lot about the Yue family. She must be a chivalrous swordsman. Noble ladies don't usually act like this." The young prince chuckled, his gaze distant, before turning to Yue Qun beside him. "Isn't your family's music troupe quite powerful? They've even left their names. Go back and investigate them thoroughly. I'd like to know, which faction does this lady belong to?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will investigate thoroughly." Not only will he investigate, but he will also get back all the face he lost today.
Prince Ji frowned as he looked at Yue Qun's gritted teeth. "This is boring. Let's go back to the manor."
Despite their close friendship, deep down, status and position determine everything. Wang Wenhao and Xiao Liu always follow the lead of the young prince of the Ji family.
As for Yue Qun, although they were on good terms with him, none of the three of them ever truly cared about him. Just like the girl said earlier, they were not on the same path and were destined not to be together.
They came from noble and powerful families, while Yue Qun was a member of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) and an illegitimate son of the Yue family. Under normal circumstances, people of their status wouldn't even have the right to speak to them.
If it weren't for his tireless efforts and flattery, the three of them would never have taken a liking to him.
Anyway, there are always people around who need my help. They're offering themselves up, so why not take advantage of them?
All three understood this, and they kept it a secret.
If you occasionally give him a smile or agree with him, this guy is as happy as if he's found a piece of silver.
Just like today, when they suggested visiting a temple, Yue Qun tried to please them with the terrible idea of "chance encounter with a girl." Anyway, he wasn't the one who started it; if it worked out, he'd have a good laugh, and if it didn't, it would be Yue Qun who would lose face.
People who are incompetent are only fit to be scapegoats.
Of course, today, Mo Lan's interference caused all three of them to lose face. Now that the young prince is unhappy about returning to the manor, only Yue Qun himself is feeling uneasy.
"Yue Qun, the idea you came up with today is really not good."
"Alright, Xiao Liu, if the young prince isn't interested in sightseeing anymore, let's go back. Yue Qun, don't take it to heart; after all, that Mo Lan girl seems quite formidable." Wang Wenhao said, patting Yue Qun's shoulder, sighing, and following the young prince as they turned to leave.
Yue Qun watched the three figures disappear into the distance, clenched his fist, and thought of Mo Lan's arrogant expression. His expression twisted in extreme anger. "I will repay this humiliation a thousandfold in the future."
He finally managed to infiltrate the ranks of several prestigious families and bring honor to his family, but his efforts were ruined by a woman who appeared out of nowhere.
No matter how resentful Yue Qun was, he couldn't stop Mo Lan from visiting Hua Tuo Temple.
Strolling along the riverbank, enjoying the gentle breeze, was incredibly pleasant.
