Chapter 117: 64th Chapter: Love Rivals Drawing Swords Against Each Other_2
“Gu Changsheng, you’re bullying me too much!” Mu Wanxuan’s face turned red, her eyes bloodshot, yet she dared not draw her sword again.
She had no doubt that the moment she drew her sword again, Gu Changsheng would definitely make a move!
This woman, who could save the Commandery Prince under the pursuit of assassins, was naturally not to be underestimated.
“If you loved openly, why would I have any reason to deceive you?” Gu Changsheng shrugged her shoulders, her face uninterested, “Is it that you can’t stand Zhou Mu treating me differently?”
“You, why?” Mu Wanxuan stared at the woman before her, extremely aggrieved.
“Me? Why would Zhou Mu treat me differently, right?” Gu Changsheng straightened her stray hair beside her ear, and smiled, “A divorced woman with a child, yet receiving the Commandery Prince’s special attention, the prince you’ve been longing for, tsk tsk… it’s frustrating just thinking about it. I can, why can’t you?”
Mu Wanxuan glared at the arrogant woman before her, unable to find a retort just as she had said. If it had been before, she could have hidden her foolish longings, as a man like the Commandery Prince wasn’t someone of her status to lust after. Yet, Gu Changsheng appeared, and this kind of woman could captivate the Commandery Prince. Why couldn’t she?
Gu Changsheng watched the woman before her, her expression flickering, stepping forward to stand right in front of her, her lips slightly curved, her smile blooming like a flower in an instant, “Mu Wanxuan, although I don’t want to show off, I am indeed much more beautiful than you. Men, they always look at the face. Maybe Zhou Mu just fancied my appearance.”
Mu Wanxuan was initially dazzled by Gu Changsheng’s sudden smile, then snapped back to reality by her words, her eyes filled with hatred. As a Hidden Guard for the Commandery Prince, she had never been ridiculed from childhood to adulthood, “Gu Changsheng, don’t be too arrogant. The Commandery Prince is just momentarily interested in you. What kind of status do you have? You’re only fit to be a plaything for the Commandery Prince when he’s bored!”
“You might not know, but the Commandery Prince had a marriage engagement since birth, the granddaughter of the Former Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, the unparalleled beauty, Huo Family’s Shuixian, with whom the Commandery Prince has a deep childhood friendship.”
“So what?” Under Mu Wanxuan’s provocative gaze, Gu Changsheng slowly smiled, “Mu Wanxuan, currently, I am not interested in your master. In your eyes, he is high above, unreachable for me, but in my eyes, he is like poison, disrupting my peace, pushing me into turbulent waters, placing me in grave danger!”
“Mu Wanxuan, do you think I willingly rely on him?” Gu Changsheng scoffed, “Karma goes full circle, his affection traps me, his kindness, I rightfully accept!”
“Mu Wanxuan, your honey is my poison, you’ve got the wrong person!”
“Gu Changsheng, it’s easy to talk a good game. Others may not know the situation, but how could I not? If not for your scheming, how would the Commandery Prince have any involvement with a commoner like you? Stop pretending with this carefree demeanor. Women like you who try to climb up to the Commandery Prince, I’ve seen plenty, and generally, they don’t end well! Do you think you and the Commandery Prince could have a future?”
“There are so many noble ladies and reputable young women waiting for the Commandery Prince’s favor, any of them more qualified than you to stand by the Commandery Prince’s side!”
Gu Changsheng stood tall, her smile growing thicker, her crescent eyes and slightly tilted lips observing the incessantly talking woman before her.
Xiao Cui and the others exchanged glances, collectively taking a step back.
“Maybe we should run, my mom seems really angry.” Little Meat Bun bit his little fist, quietly moving back step by step.
Every time his mom smiled , someone would suffer, and he absolutely didn’t want to be the collateral damage!
They nodded slightly, tiptoeing behind Little Meat Bun into the house, still casting a sympathetic glance towards the woman who claimed to be Mu Wanxuan.
Poor thing, seeking trouble with the lady without any reason, isn’t this just asking for trouble?
Mu Wanxuan, obviously missing a few screws, didn’t catch their very obvious hints and subtle mockery, continued to prattle on.
“Gu Changsheng, if you know what’s good for you, take the advantage and fly far away quickly. Otherwise, even if the Imperial Family can tolerate you, how can you escape the criticism of everyone in the world? Be careful, you won’t even know how you died!”
“Are you done?” Gu Changsheng blew on her neatly trimmed fingertips, meeting the gaze of the woman before her, Geez, they say a woman in love has a zero IQ, but this woman’s IQ is in the negatives!
Mu Wanxuan had just opened her mouth to speak when she paused, confident in her skills but unable to read the woman before her, whose seemingly casual stance somehow made her feel profoundly unfathomable.
“Mu Wanxuan, I don’t know how I’ll die, but if you continue , I know how you’ll die.”
“Are you threatening me?” Mu Wanxuan’s delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed, her eyes unblinkingly staring at the woman before her.
“No, no, no!” Gu Changsheng shook her finger and shook her head, “I, Gu Changsheng, never scare people like you do.”
“Mu Wanxuan, it would be wise to disappear from before me at once. I don’t like to strike women, but I don’t mind making an exception for you, a brainless one!”
“Gu Changsheng, I’ve given you some leeway for the Commandery Prince’s sake, but don’t think I’m afraid of you!” Mu Wanxuan’s pride was stirred, and her longsword was already drawn.
Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed, glancing at her hand, her face losing all trace of a smile, her voice turning cold, “Mu Wanxuan, I have always detested people wielding weapons at me. Anyone foolhardy enough to think of harming me must bitterly regret it. Just now, I spared you for Zhou Mu’s sake without making a move, who gave you such audacity to repeatedly provoke me?”
As her voice fell, Gu Changsheng’s figure had already moved, hurtling straight towards the sword tip.
Mu Wanxuan was startled, and before she could react, a cold sensation crossed her neck, warm liquid emerging, and her entire body felt as if plunged into an icy cave.
