CHAPTER 151: 151: WATCH HOW I MESS WITH YOU

Xu Ruoxuan seemed to place great importance on this meal, dressed in a luxurious ancient robe, adorned with various tortoiseshell accessories, presenting herself with full elegance.

In comparison, Mu Qiuniang, who wore a simple white robe, appeared much more subdued. Yet even so, she was not overshadowed. Her delicate features carried an aura of cool detachment that others lacked. It was the simplest attire, yet she seemed like a celestial maiden from the Ninth Heaven.

She directly outshone the especially gorgeous Xu Ruoxuan, rendering her as an ordinary princess in the mortal world.

"Hello!" Mu Qiuniang’s gaze was as calm as water as she swept it over Xu Ruoxuan and then took the main seat.

Jiang Nuo wore a rather displeased expression, as if he had come against his will, sitting down beside his wife: "Where’s the food? We’re all here, so why hasn’t the food been served yet? Didn’t you say you’d apologize to my wife? Is this how you apologize?"

He immediately found fault, causing Xu Ruoxuan’s almost smiling expression to freeze: "Weren’t you just now arriving?" Not like starved souls reincarnated.

Clearly someone with no sense. Look at that ravenous appearance, are they afraid they won’t get to eat at Tong Mama’s Private Kitchen?

Slightly blaming her second senior brother, the food here is all infused with spiritual energy, and giving it to them is a real waste!

"So what if we just arrived? Didn’t you invite us for a meal? Don’t order those soups and broths just to fool us; at the very least, you should order some signature dishes."

"Rest assured, I’ve ordered everything, and it’s better than a full Han banquet." Xu Ruoxuan said through gritted teeth.

A man like this, she looked up to him? Look at him, so petty and stingy, he’s become like this! Wasting the Puppet Bowl on him is really a waste.

But compared to being a public furnace, she could only endure.

"That’s more like it. Having a full Han banquet shows sincerity. Miss Xu, wouldn’t you agree? That cut you made before almost pierced my wife’s chest and scared us both so much we couldn’t sleep well for days. Never mind the physical wounds, but the psychological ones are enough to make one tremble with fear..." Jiang Nuo rambled on, clearly intending to extort her a bit.

Jiang Nuo wanted to send her to jail, but she had a strong background, and since his wife dodged quickly and wasn’t hurt, he had to settle for less, wanting her to be miserable too.

Endure, endure, endure! Xu Ruoxuan’s gaze at Jiang Nuo was almost spitting fire.

Why hadn’t she noticed before how hateful this man was? Did he have the nerve to say, if he hadn’t continually disrespected her, would she have acted impulsively? If she hadn’t acted, would her second senior brother...

With that thought, some hatred surfaced in Xu Ruoxuan’s eyes.

If not for this man, she wouldn’t have been assigned this task by her master, wouldn’t have failed the task, and wouldn’t have learned the "truth." She would rather be kept in the dark forever, living as a happy, innocent "junior sister" than be someone else’s public furnace.

If he had just let her approach, listened to her obediently, would she be so stuck now?

She could find an exceptionally strong Immortal, and with her innate yin body physique, she would definitely win the Immortal’s favor. By then, who would dare to covet her as a furnace?

"Jiang Nuo, do you know you ruined me?"

"You’re saying that wrongly, aren’t you?" Though unsure how Xu Ruoxuan reached that conclusion, Jiang Nuo still refuted it, "I never bothered you; I just honestly filmed my scenes. If you hadn’t inexplicably attacked my wife, there’d be nothing between us. No, there was never anything between us, you created trouble for nothing and got what you deserved."

"Dare you say those online videos have nothing to do with you?" Her second senior brother had analyzed it for her, saying those widely spread videos led their master to decide on her "failure" and to make her a "public furnace."

Ultimately, he was the main culprit!

"What do they have to do with me? I didn’t shoot those videos; I didn’t upload them online. Xu Ruoxuan, do you have any shame? You did these things and still won’t let others broadcast it? Others couldn’t stand it, and wanted to seek justice for my wife. Such nameless heroes, I should thank them."

"If it’s not you, then who is it?" Xu Ruoxuan resented the person who filmed and uploaded the video.

Now she couldn’t even go outside without being pointed at, branded as a murderer.

Damn it! Whom did she kill?

She just wanted to scar Jiang Nuo’s wife’s face, and even that didn’t succeed.

Jiang Nuo, this idiot; is he blind? Can’t he see she’s prettier than his wife? What sense does it make to cling to such a yellowed face?

"How would I know? A nameless hero did a good deed, do I have to investigate them? That would be repaying kindness with enmity, wouldn’t it?"

"What good deed? How’s this a good deed if it led to this? Jiang Nuo, do you even have eyes? Why are you always picking on me for this ugly woman?"

Mu Qiuniang had no reaction yet, but the laid-back Jiang Nuo became displeased: "You’re the blind one. My wife is such a beautiful woman, a hundred times, a thousand times prettier than you. No, you’re not even fit to carry her shoes; standing with you is an insult to her!"

"You!" Xu Ruoxuan was so furious she stood up immediately, her finger pointing at Jiang Nuo trembling.

"What about me? I’m just speaking the truth! And by the way, don’t point your useless finger at me; that makes me unhappy. I don’t have a principle of not hitting women..." Jiang Nuo stood up, took the chopsticks, and unceremoniously knocked them against Xu Ruoxuan’s finger.

His move wasn’t fast, but Xu Ruoxuan reacted too slowly, taking a direct hit: "Ah~ that hurts!"

Tears welled up immediately, accusing Jiang Nuo, "You actually hit me? Jiang Nuo, are you even a man?"

"Whether I’m a man or not, you don’t need to know; it’s enough that my wife knows. Alright, alright," tossing the chopsticks onto the table, Jiang Nuo sat back down, "stop wasting time! It’s no use delaying; have you or haven’t you ordered the dishes? We haven’t even had lunch, and we’re starving."

Jiang Nuo was naturally lying; his wife’s cooking was so delicious, how could he not have eaten?

It was just that he found Xu Ruoxuan unpleasing and she didn’t even have the decency to apologize, so he just wanted to bully her. Anyway, even if they didn’t eat later, he’d still order a large table full, and it wasn’t his money being wasted.

"Were you reincarnated as a starving ghost?"

"Yes, I’m really hungry, so what? Quickly get the waiter to bring the food... no, here they’re called maids, get the maid to serve it, I’m starving..." Rude towards Xu Ruoxuan like a shameless rascal, Jiang Nuo turned towards Mu Qiuniang and suddenly became a gentle, caring husband, smilingly telling her, "The food here is really good, eat a lot later, don’t hold back; this is someone else’s apology gift, okay?"

Seeing his superb "performance" as a shameless rascal, Mu Qiuniang tried to hold back her laughter and nodded.

He’s being as they discussed before they left, and since she doesn’t like talking, she would just say little and see how he messes with that woman later, ensuring she would be jumping with rage.

Mu Qiuniang found it amusing. She had never seen him being so shameless; had she met him like this before, she surely would have turned and left! Naturally, there wouldn’t be any of their current relationship either.

Truly, the encounters between people are fascinating!
