Chapter 312 - 312 313 Youve Completely Annoyed Me_1

Chapter 312: Chapter 313: You’ve Completely Annoyed Me_1 Chapter 312: Chapter 313: You’ve Completely Annoyed Me_1 Yu Ze clearly heard that there was something off in Muniang’s tone, and he too furrowed his brows. He Suxue’s face turned pale; she thought she would witness a good show upon entering, only to find herself directly targeted by Qiao Muniang.

“You’ve been so devoted in helping me and Wu Haoli, how should I thank you for that?” Muniang said through gritted teeth.

He Suxue laughed awkwardly: “It was just a small effort, why bother mentioning it? Seeing you in distress, Yu would probably feel uncomfortable too, so even if I didn’t consider you, I would think of Yu.”

These words obviously reminded Muniang that she was under Yu Ze’s protection; Muniang couldn’t touch her no matter what.

Muniang laughed with irony: “Oh, is that so.”

Yu Ze, frowning, asked: “What on earth happened? Did you run into bandits on the road? Were you with Wu Haoli?” In fact, just seeing Wu Haoli made him uncomfortable, but initially, he was solely worried about Muniang’s safety and hadn’t thought much else. Now, seeing the two of them together, it made him feel even more uneasy.

Muniang glared fiercely at him: “We did run into bandits, and it was thanks to Miss He that we were saved. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here unscathed.”

He Suxue spoke with a look of grievance: “Muniang, what do you mean by that? I really didn’t want to appear in front of Yu again and upset you both, but when I heard that you were trapped by bandits, I was so worried that I had no choice but to seek out Yu. If you dislike my presence so much, I might as well never bother you again.”

Muniang sneered inwardly. There she goes again with her tricks—will she ever tire of them? But He Suxue, with your repeated provocations, do you really think I will continue to tolerate you as I always have?

Seeing He Suxue’s appearance, Wu Haoli felt disgusted and didn’t want to cause any rift between Yu Ze and Muniang. After all, Muniang truly cared for Yu Ze, and he didn’t want to make things difficult for her. He intended to speak up for Muniang,

but Muniang beat him to it, laughing softly: “Suxue, your words are too kind. You’ve gone out of your way to save me this time—I can’t thank you enough. How could I ever find you bothersome? Even though we may not be sisters by fate in this lifetime, after this incident, I truly regard you as a dear sister.”

When Muniang emphasized the words “dear sister,” He Suxue felt a shiver down her spine.

“Yu Ze, you really should thank Suxue properly. We really owe her,” Muniang urged.

Yu Ze’s expression darkened slightly; Muniang calling his full name meant that she was really angry. He didn’t quite understand the situation, but he hated seeing Muniang’s forced smile—it pained him.

“No need for thanks, let’s go back,” Yu Ze said coldly.

He Suxue bit her lip; even now, he still refused to glance her way.

Muniang moved closer to He Suxue and whispered in her ear: “When you did all these things today, you should have considered the consequences.” Her voice was light, but her tone was harsh.

He Suxue shuddered inside, but still retorted with her neck stiff: “Yu won’t let anything happen to me.”

Muniang’s lips curled into a fierce smile, “No, you’ve truly provoked me now. I want something to happen to you, and no one in the world can stop it.”

He Suxue’s face turned deathly pale. She had seen Qiao Muniang’s methods before; when this woman got ruthless, she was like a Shura from hell. If she really disregarded Yu Ze’s feelings to make a move against her—

Muniang snorted coldly and then directly exited the wooden hut.

Yu Ze hurriedly followed, and Wu Haoli left as well, ironically leaving He Suxue alone here to be disregarded, infuriating her so much she gritted her teeth.

“What’s wrong? What on earth is going on? If you’ve been wronged, how can you not tell me?” Yu Ze, seeing Muniang in such a state, felt somewhat panicky.

Muniang glanced up at him, thought about what He Suxue had said, and ultimately swallowed the words that had reached her lips. He Suxue was right—how could Yu Ze lay a hand on her? Wasn’t she indeed so fearless because of that?

After all that had happened, Muniang simply didn’t have the energy to continue the tug-of-war with Yu Ze over the issue of He Suxue. She knew Yu Ze’s predicament, and she didn’t want to put him in a difficult position, but she could not swallow this grievance, the anger that had built up for so long! Especially now that He Suxue had resorted to such a vile scheme, how could she tolerate it?

Since Yu Ze could not act against He Suxue, she would do it herself, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! Muniang’s hand clenched inside her sleeve, obviously not ready to call it quits.

Yu Ze knew the matter wasn’t so simple, but Muniang was unwilling to say anything about it and even spoke to him in a very indifferent tone. Yu Ze could only send someone to investigate the particulars of the situation.

But by the time he learned the truth, He Suxue had already disappeared.

In a gloomy little room, He Suxue was dragged in, and Wu Haoli, sprawled lazily in the Taishi Chair, squinted at her, “Why such a terrified look? I thought you’d have expected this day to come, especially after provoking me and wanting me to smooth things over.”

He Suxue had just stepped out the door when she was brought to this unknown place. Although Muniang had warned her, He Suxue thought she would only talk big, after all, hurting her and angering Yu Ze would bring no benefits. What she didn’t expect was that Qiao Muniang could be so bold!

“You, you, what do you want to do? Don’t you know I’m the legitimate daughter of the He family, and the Empress is my cousin? Do you really think I can easily extricate myself if something happens to me?” He Suxue’s words lacked confidence even to herself, she hadn’t dealt much with Wu Haoli, but seeing him so unconcerned now, she knew that her so-called status meant nothing in his eyes.

Wu Haoli chuckled, “Legitimate daughter of the He family? Cousin of the Empress? Even if you were the Empress herself, you should understand what end comes from provoking me.”

He Suxue’s face paled considerably, and she was frightened out of her wits, “What, what exactly do you want to do?”

Just then, Muniang stepped in leisurely, smiling softly, “What do I want? You should ask yourself that question. How you treated me, I’ll treat you the same way.”

“Qiao Muniang! Aren’t you afraid Yu Ze will loathe you? He has said before that he wants me to live a life of peace, it was his promise to his brother. By so openly defying his wishes and treating me this way, do you really think he’ll continue to indulge you? Do you have any idea what Yu Jin means to him? You’re not even worth one of Yu Jin’s fingers!” He Suxue screamed at the top of her lungs.
