“Mu Ruyue!”

Ye Tianfeng glared at Mu Ruyue and roared, ”Who let you spout such nonsense to Ting’er? Even if you’re jealous, you can’t hurt a weak woman! Ting’er isn’t you. She’s too delicate to withstand your mean words. Apologize to Ting’er this instant!”

“Jealous?” Mu Ruyue laughed, sweeping Ye Tianfeng’s face mockingly. “Who am I jealous of? Mu Ting-er? Or is it because you’re jealous? As I said in the Throne Room, I would never marry a stallion in this life. My husband will only ever have me forever. What is it about you that meets my criteria? I would never fall for you even if I were blind.”

The young girl’s smile and thorny gaze changed Ye Tianfeng’s complexion.

Even though he had heard rumors in the marketplace, he couldn’t believe that the woman who loved him to the bone would say such words. But standing before him now was no longer the girl who’d looked at him obsessively.

There wasn’t an ounce of love in her eyes, just mockery and sarcasm.

There was even disgust that he didn’t want to believe.

Even Ye Tianfeng couldn’t tell what was going on. Faced with the spurn in Mu Ruyue’s eyes, he clearly felt a bit of discomfort within. When exactly had she started to change?

Or was it the rendezvous she ran into that day that had completely killed her illusions?

That was much better. He was much more comfortable with this compared to her starry-eyed infatuation.

Ignoring the whiff of discomfort within, Ye Tianfeng’s deep eyes emitted a cold gleam. “Mu Ruyue, apologize to Ting’er immediately!”

Mu Ruyue had an urge to laugh at Ye Tianfeng’s command, so of course she did so.

“Ye Tianfeng, in what capacity are you ordering me? As His Royal Highness? I remember that the Prince is cousins with the Ghost King. Although I haven’t married the Ghost King yet, I was already granted the title. So according to seniority, I’m your aunt. My dear nephew, let’s hear you call me aunt.”

Ye Tianfeng’s face constantly changed from green to white then from white to green.

Mu Ruyue chuckled deeply, but there was a chill in her eyes that couldn’t be melted away.

“Dear nephew, I’ll await the day you come serve me tea.”

After saying this, Mu Ruyue didn’t care about the livid Ye Tianfeng and gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight. She hadn’t fought back the other day because she didn’t want to talk nonsense with these people.

However, some people thought she was a punching bag.

Now, she wanted them to understand that she, Mu Ruyue, wasn’t someone who’d swallow their bullying.

“Father, Your Royal Highness, look at this woman!” Mu Yixue was almost hopping mad. “Even among the commoners, no one could live a life with only one woman for the rest of their lives. She’s simply dreaming!”

Suddenly, as if in reaction, she hurriedly covered her lips and looked at Mu Ting’er apologetically.

“Sister Ting’er, I…”

“I’m fine.” Mu Ting’er shook her head as she slowly suppressed the soreness in her heart and said, “And you’re right. So, Your Royal Highness, I don’t blame you. Who in this world could live a life with only one other? Those with such notions are simply dreaming.”

At the end, it was as if she was talking to herself, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes once more.

“Your Royal Highness, as long as you have me in your heart, I’ll be satisfied.”

Her words made Ye Tianfeng’s heart ache, rubbing the beauty in his arms even tighter. “Ting’er, don’t worry. I will absolutely be good to you for the rest of my life!”
