My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You - Chapter 108

Luo Qianqian thought about the hearsay about the Three Families that she had heard recently, “Murong Yun, is the Gu Family being attacked by the Xiao Family?”

People had been talking about how the Xiao Family who had concealed their identity for generations suddenly emerged on the Jianghu Underground and they had made several statement strike backs against the Gu Family who had been secretly following them and forced the Xiao people to betroth them.

Speaking of the Xiao Family, they were truly an enviable bunch in the Jianghu Underworld, they were blessed with special talent on cultivation, the Xiao people could exceed you by doing nothing when you kept cultivating without rest day and night.

Murong Yun put down the spoon that he used to feed Luo Qianqian, “I don’t think so.”

Hearsay was just hearsay.

“But is it true the Xiao people have appeared again? Have they ditched their old lifestyle?” Luo Qianqian was so interested in the Xiao Family, she was worried deep down no one could stop them if they really decided to be bad.

“Yes, they are spotted recently, but I’m sure they have nothing to do with what has happened to Gu Village.” Murong Yun sounded positive.

Luo Qianqian pondered over Murong Yun’s words, she narrowed her eyes and said, “You mean this is all staged by the Gu people themselves? Why though? What can they get from this?”

With that Luo Qianqian gasped and answered her own question, “So they can spread the word and cause more attention on the Xiao people, chances are all families will gang up against the Xiao people, so the Gus can take advantage of the occasion and marry the Xiaos!”

Murong Yun stroked Luo Qianqian’s hair with affection, he put on a meaningful smile instead of refuting what Luo Qianqian had just said.

“Qianqian, here, have more of this soup.” Murong Yun changed the subject.

‘So Murong Yun agrees with what I’ve just said, those Gu people are so contemptible, I cannot believe the Imperial Noble Consort is from Gu Family! Slandering Xiao people like this only because they failed at forcing the Xiao people to marry into their family, they are no difference than thieves and robbers.’ Luo Qianqian sneered in her heart.

“Murong Yun, you know what, let’s go to Gu Village together, I’d like to meet those people.” Luo Qianqian chuckled.

Hearing that, Murong Yun twirled Luo Qianqian around in excitement.

After breakfast, Luo Qianqian packed a few essentials while Murong Yun organized a carriage for her.

Luo Qianqian didn’t need to lift a finger on the pretext of the injured wrist, Murong Yun took such good care of her along the way, he would feed her water and food, he would lift the portiere on the carriage for her so she could enjoy the beautiful scenery.

This was the first time that Luo Qianqian had left the capital city, Luo Qianqian felt so excited along the way and she couldn’t be bothered to hide her true feelings. Seeing that, Murong Yun couldn’t help but smile as well.

Feng Qing was the carter naturally, he put on a mask to not draw any attention.

“Murong Yun, are the Gu people fine with you coming back for me?” Luo Qianqian asked, resting her head on Murong Yun’s shoulder.

“It’s fine.” Murong Yun replied casually.

Well, they were not fine with it at all.

The Three Elders blocked Murong Yun on hearing the news for fear that Murong Yun would be gone forever, they were counting on Murong Yun to protect them after all.

Murong Yun didn’t have the time to bringing out the facts and reasons with those people, so he had to flex some muscles to make the point that no one could stop him.

The Three Elders finally agreed to patch up the quarrel when Su Liancheng volunteered to stay over, they thought they could always detain Su Liancheng to threaten Murong Yun if he decided to not come back. Plus, they knew no way could they stop this Prince Eighth if he insisted on leaving.

Su Liancheng now was so annoyed by these elders, they would follow him everywhere he went, literally everywhere, he had to tell them off when he went to the toilet.

He promised and promised that he won’t flee, but the elders had run out of options, they had to tread on the heels of Su Liancheng, because Su Liancheng was all they had to negotiate with Prince Eighth.

The battered Gu people treated Prince Eighth as life-saving straw to clutch at, they wished they could revive their old days’ glory through Prince Eighth’s assistance.

And they were plotting something unspeakable behind Murong Yun’s back, they refused to give up their evil designs on marrying the Xiao people!

One day and two nights had passed when Murong Yun arrived at Gu Village again.

Murong Yun put on his mask before he jumped out of the carriage, and he asked Luo Qianqian to put on her mask as well.

“Geez, I have no idea how uncomfortable a mask can make me feel.” Luo Qianqian complained, but she knew wearing a mask was a good plan when she had to face a group of people who harbored an evil heart.

“Deputy Master!”

People started to flock to them as soon as Murong Yun jumped out of the carriage.

Luo Qianqian exclaimed in her heart, ‘Deputy Master? Aren’t you here just for like three days?’

Soon the Gu people started to whisper to each other when they saw their Deputy Master brought two more persons with him, a boy and a girl, and it looked like the girl and the Deputy Master were very intimate.

Only the Three Elders knew Murong Yun was the Prince Eighth, so no way could the people surrounded Murong Yun and Luo Qianqian guessed Luo Qianqian’s true identity.

Suddenly a voice rang from a roof, “Stop following me around, a real man never goes back on his words, I’ve told you I won’t sneak out! Your Deputy Master has promised you that he would be back soon! Please leave me alone!”

It was Su Liancheng.

“Please forgive us, we are just doing our best to protect our Deputy Master’s friend.” they said brazenly.

“But I’m just going to the toilet! I need some privacy.” Su Liancheng cried out.

Luo Qianqian chuckled on hearing that.

Su Liancheng turned around and exclaimed, “Brother Eighth, Sister-in-law, finally you are back!”

“Haha, yes we are, now please go to the toilet.” Luo Qianqian snickered.
