In the Mu family, cheers filled the manor ever since Mu Qing had returned.
It was unknown what Mu Ting Er and Mu Yi Xue chatted about after they gathered around Mu Qing, but that something made them let out a trail of bell-like laughter. Suddenly, when a sharp-sighted daughter of the Mu family noticed Mu Ru Yue walking in from outside the manor, her lips lifted into a smile.
“I had long ago said that someone wouldn’t be compatible with the Crown Prince, but that certain person didn’t listen. Now it’s great that she is going to marry a fool. Haha! I heard that the fool’s mind isn’t too good, and his appearance is so ugly that it’s ghost-like, having literally scared a maid senseless. Hey everyone, let’s take a guess. If a certain person were to wed, will she go crazy from looking at the Ghost King’s appearance?”
‘Ugly appearance?‘
Mu Ru Yue’s brows raised as the image of an innocent and handsome face with innocent and enticing pure eyes entered her mind.
‘Such a handsome person had become an ugly, ghost-like existence. This is indeed the might of rumours.’
Perhaps, it was due to him rarely leaving the manor. Nobody helped dress him up, so after a long time, everyone thought he was so ugly that he couldn’t meet with people.
‘Who knew that his handsome appearance could instead make all the colours in the world fade?’
Mu Ru Yue ignored the girl, but who could’ve known that the girl didn’t want to let her off? As she was heading to her room, a delicate figure blocked her path.
“Mu Ru Yue, are you deaf? Couldn’t you hear that I was talking to you?”
Looking at the young girl with a snow-white face, Mu Ru Yue asked in astonishment, “You were talking to me?”
“You….”
Mu Yi Xue’s face reddened with fury. Just as she wanted to brandish a hand to hit Mu Ru Yue, she was restricted by Mu Ting Er. “That’s enough Xue Er! She is still your blood sister. No matter what, you shouldn’t raise your hand against her due to anger. If you do, I won’t recognise you.”
