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

All of this happened too fast. Chu Yanran didn't even have time to see if the person in Mu Ziyuan's arms was Chu Yingge. However, she figured it probably wasn't. After all, even if Chu Yingge wasn't dead, she couldn't possibly be standing here unharmed.

Seeing Mu Jingyu's expression, Chu Yanran didn't have time to think and immediately stood up from her seat. She was determined to make a good impression on Mu Jingyu today.

"Who are you? Why are you impersonating my younger sister to get married? What is your purpose?"

The volume was just right, not too loud or too soft, so that every guest present could hear it.

No one had initially taken it seriously, but after Chu Yanran's words, they all looked at the newlyweds with puzzled expressions.

It all happened so fast that they didn't even notice it, but they figured the person in front of them must be right.

After all, one is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, and the other is the ninth daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. If there were any clues, they would definitely be able to see through them.

Chu Yinnan slowly walked out from the crowd. He had been observing from the shadows for a long time, and sure enough, just as Yin Ge had said, today's wedding was a conspiracy by these people.

"Chu Yanran, you had better take responsibility for what you said. Yingge got into the bridal sedan chair in front of everyone. Now you say the bride isn't Yingge, do you have any evidence?"

"I just saw it by accident. The person under that red veil is really not Yingge." After saying that, Chu Yanran put on an embarrassed expression, as if she hadn't done it on purpose.

This pitiful expression made everyone think that Chu Yinnan had bullied Chu Yanran.

Mu Ziyuan squinted, his gaze towards Chu Yanran filled with undisguised disgust. He already disliked women like her, and now that she was his little princess's enemy, he felt even more disgusted with her.

"Miss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Under this red veil is my princess consort, who is also the ninth young lady of the Prime Minister's residence. Does Miss have any objections to this?"

"Yanran... Yanran is gone." Her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful, as if she had been bullied.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but harbor suspicions.

If the person under that red veil is indeed the Ninth Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then why doesn't she dare to step forward and explain?

It's likely that what the eldest daughter of the Chu family said is true. After all, a perfectly respectable eldest daughter of the Chu family wouldn't cause trouble at her own sister's wedding, would she?

Thinking this, everyone looked even more puzzled.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Mu Ziyuan didn't offer any further explanation. He was waiting for Mu Jingyu to say something so that he could openly and legitimately slap those who wanted to see him make a fool of himself in the face.

As expected, Mu Jingyu noticed the reactions of those around him. After a moment, he stood up from his seat, glanced at everyone indifferently, and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Ziyuan.

The bright red wedding dress was a bit too bright, but when I thought that the bride was not Chu Yingge, I felt a little relieved.

"Seventh Brother, both the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion are prominent places in the capital. The marriage between the two families is extremely important. If the person under this red veil is not the Ninth Miss, the situation will be very serious."

"Does His Majesty also think so?" Mu Ziyuan asked in a deep voice.

Mu Jingyu pondered for a moment: "I think the eldest daughter of the Chu family wouldn't cause trouble without reason. For the sake of the bigger picture, it would be best if Seventh Brother proved himself."

"Shouldn't His Majesty know best in his heart? Does he need proof?"

"I don't understand what Seventh Brother means by these words. How could I possibly understand?" Mu Jingyu was unmatched at feigning ignorance.

Mu Ziyuan had been waiting for Mu Jingyu to say those words. Looking at the expectant faces of everyone, his sarcasm became even more pronounced.

The person in front of him wants to drive him out of Kyoto in this way? He's dreaming!

Having traveled thousands of miles and encountered countless dangers along the way, he bravely came here. He has not yet avenged his family, nor has he accomplished anything he was supposed to do. How could he possibly leave so easily?

What a joke!

He lowered his head, looking tenderly at the person in his arms, his gaze filled with gentleness.

She asked softly, "They insist on verifying your identity. Are you ready?"

"Mm," the person under the red veil replied faintly.

Getting up from Mu Ziyuan's embrace, Chu Yingge stood obediently to the side, waiting for Mu Ziyuan to lift the bright red veil from her head.

Glancing at the crowd, who were all eagerly waiting and wishing for something to happen to the wedding, Mu Ziyuan didn't hesitate any longer and lifted the veil off Chu Yingge's head from behind.

Her stunningly beautiful face, with a touch of aloofness, immediately caught everyone's eye. She wore light makeup, which, while not seductive, made her even more exquisite.

Chu Yingge was naturally beautiful, but she never wore makeup, so she lacked a certain allure.

But today, this face has been carefully sculpted; the cool, aloof eyebrows paired with a subtle blush exude a captivating beauty.

Mu Ziyuan stood aside, seemingly unsurprised. He had long known that his princess was a stunning beauty, so her ethereal and otherworldly appearance was perfectly reasonable.

"I knew I shouldn't have lifted your veil. It's really uncomfortable for others to see such a beautiful face. You must make up for my loss."

"How do you want compensation?" Chu Yingge asked in return.

Mu Ziyuan said with a malicious grin, "Of course, I'll make it up to you properly on our wedding night."

"Okay."

They flirted without a care for anyone around them, showing no regard for those around them.

When everyone saw that the person under the red veil was Chu Yingge, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but this did not include Mu Jingyu and Chu Yanran, the brother and sister.

Chu Yanran, in particular, immediately stepped out of her seat upon seeing the situation.

"Impossible, how could you possibly be standing here?" came the aggressive questioning.

Looking at Chu Yanran's exasperated appearance, Chu Yingge couldn't help but find it amusing. At this point, she was already being lenient by not pursuing the matter, yet she had actually come to her own doorstep. Since that was the case, then she didn't need to be polite.

"Sister, why can't I stand here?"

"Because of you..." Just as Chu Yanran was about to blurt it out, fortunately Chu Moran behind her reacted quickly and pulled her back.

My younger sister is really brainless; she's no match for Chu Yingge at all. Today's scene was clearly a trap set by Chu Yingge.

And they are already in the bureau.

"Little sister, Yanran has always been straightforward. She probably heard some rumors and made such wild guesses. Please don't take offense."

“Yinge is naturally not to blame for her sister. It’s just that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion is easily swayed by rumors and spreads trouble without any basis. If this gets out, it will be bad for her sister’s reputation and even the reputation of the entire Prime Minister’s mansion.”
