Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

He didn't come home all night, and he didn't sleep a wink.

Chu Yinge is the one who hasn't returned, and Chu Yanran is the one who hasn't slept.

As dawn broke, a trace of calm finally appeared in Chu Yanran's eyes. At this moment, Green Bamboo had probably already gone to carry out her previous instructions.

This time, whatever Chu Yingge says will definitely affect her reputation, and then the Prime Minister's Mansion will truly be unable to tolerate Chu Yingge.

As for what the Seventh Prince thinks, she has no say in it. As long as Chu Yingge doesn't appear in front of her and get in her way, she won't care about anything else.

……

"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, the Ninth Miss of the Prime Minister's residence stayed at the Seventh Prince's residence?"

"Really? No way."

"Of course it is! I saw it with my own eyes."

"What kind of trouble has the Prime Minister's mansion committed? First, the eldest young lady slept naked at her own doorstep, and now the ninth young lady is living in the Seventh Prince's mansion before she's even married... Sigh..."

All the whispers and gossip reached Chu Yinnan's ears. He had been worried about Chu Yinge's absence yesterday, and now, this morning, such rumors had surfaced.

A girl's reputation is the most important thing; how could he allow these people to ruin his sister's reputation?

Walking briskly over, Chu Yinnan reached out and grabbed one of the people by the neck, lifting him up straight.

Suddenly suspended in mid-air, his brain deprived of oxygen, the man began to struggle desperately, but unfortunately, his strength was completely ineffective against Chu Yinnan.

Seeing this, the others scattered in a flash, afraid that the person who had suddenly appeared would hurt them.

Although Chu Yinnan is the second young master of the Prime Minister's mansion, he is a low-key person. He has been away from the capital for a long time and only recently returned. Even after returning, he has never been ostentatious.

Therefore, everyone only knows that the Prime Minister's Mansion has an eldest son, Chu Moran, but has never paid attention to the second son, Chu Yinnan.

A murderous aura emanated from her, and Chu Yingge swept her gaze across the people in front of her, speaking in a cold voice: "If you dare to spout nonsense in the future, I will tear your mouths apart!"

“We’re not talking nonsense. It’s a fact that Chu Yingge lives in the Seventh Prince’s mansion. Your protection of her makes me think you’re not a good person either!”

"That's right, that's right, maybe he's Chu Yingge's lover!" the others chimed in.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Yinnan released her grip and simultaneously kicked a table at the person who had just spoken, smashing it down on him.

Chu Yinnan was, after all, a martial artist, and even if he controlled his strength well, he could still cause some impact to an ordinary person.

Sure enough, the person who was hit immediately vomited blood. Although it wouldn't kill him, he was no longer able to function like a normal person.

Upon seeing this, everyone else shut up. Although gossiping could pass the time and become topics of conversation, if it involved life and death, they would choose to keep quiet.

A layer of frost settled in Chu Yinnan's eyes. He had always been dutiful and had never done anything to offend anyone, but Chu Yinge was his bottom line. Once someone crossed that line, he would absolutely not be polite.

"Since you're not speaking human language, then you don't need to live a human life anymore. You'll spend the rest of your life lying in bed and never get up again!" After saying that, Chu Yinnan turned around and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Arriving at the gate of the Seventh Prince's residence, a hint of anger appeared in Chu Yinnan's eyes. He naturally knew what had happened before; his sister must have encountered some trouble in the palace, which was why the Seventh Prince had kept her there.

But after all, she's a daughter, and such behavior is ultimately inappropriate.

As Chu Yinnan stepped forward, before she could even introduce herself, the guards at the gate automatically made way for her.

Frowning slightly in confusion, Chu Yinnan asked, "Don't you need to report anything?"

"His Highness has given instructions that Young Master Chu is the Princess's own brother, making him a distinguished guest of the Prince's residence, and therefore there is no need for announcements," one of the guards said.

Chu Yinnan looked bewildered. The Seventh Prince was indeed quick to act, revealing his identity to the public in such a short time.

However, this treatment is still good. It seems that the Seventh Prince really cares about Yin Ge.

Without any hesitation, Chu Yinnan strode into the Prince's mansion. As soon as she entered, someone offered to lead the way for her.

“Young Master Chu, His Highness has instructed me to take you directly to the Bamboo Garden; there’s no need to stay in the reception room.”

"Youzhu Garden is the prince's inner courtyard. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go in," Chu Yinnan declined.

When the servant leading the way heard Chu Yinnan say this, he smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Chu is too kind. This was ordered by the Prince, so there is naturally nothing wrong with it."

"Then lead the way." Chu Yinnan did not refuse again. Since it was someone else's kind offer, why should he refuse?

Upon arriving at the entrance of Youzhu Garden, the servant leading the way stopped: "Going in from here leads to the Prince's inner courtyard, so I won't go in."

"it is good."

Chu Yinnan nodded her thanks and walked straight inside. She didn't see Mu Ziyuan, but she did see Mu Ziyuan's trusted subordinate, Mu Zi.

Seeing Chu Yinnan approaching, Mu Zi naturally went to greet him: "Young Master Chu, you must have come today to discuss the Princess Consort's matter, but she is still unconscious, so you may have to wait a while."

"Unconscious?" Chu Yinnan frowned. "Why would he be unconscious?"

Although Chu Yinnan had guessed that the Emperor would make Chu Yingge suffer a little, she never expected it would reach the point of unconsciousness.

Mu Zi lowered her head slightly and said respectfully, "We naturally don't know what happened in the palace. However, when my lord arrived, the princess was already unconscious."

"And what about the prince?" Chu Yinnan asked.

Mu Zi turned around and pointed to the room: "The prince stayed with the princess all night without sleeping or drinking a drop of water."

Chu Yinnan's heart felt like it was being gripped by something, and she looked anxiously into the room. She should have accompanied Chu Yingge to the palace earlier.

"Thank you for taking care of my sister, Your Highness. However, my sister is still a young woman. Although she is engaged to Your Highness, it is not appropriate for her to live together."

"That's not something I can decide." Mu Zi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. How could he possibly make decisions for his lord? He had already said so before, but his lord insisted on doing things his own way. What could he do?

A complex look flashed in Chu Yinnan's eyes. Could it be that the Seventh Prince was deliberately trying to ruin his sister's reputation?

How could the Seventh Prince not know how important reputation is to a woman?

"If you can't make the decision, please inform others that I'm here to take Yin Ge away."

"This... might be a bit difficult."
