Chapter 15
Chapter 15: Ambitious Prince Xiang
Seeing that Helian Yi was already close to her, Mo Youyou quickly lifted her head. Her crystal eyes stared at his angry and unrelenting face, as she spoke with a mousy voice:
“Royal Uncle, it was you who said that you were Youyou’s Royal Uncle, so the more Youyou sees you, the more she thinks that you are fit to be her elder… Honestly, you look much better than Prince Xiang!”
These were the words inside Mo Youyou’s heart. Helian Yi’s sharp and distinct facial features had gained him a sense of aloof handsomeness. Especially his pair of deep black eyes, which contained an inexplicable deterrent force! Although his face looks good, it was always stone cold, making people not dare to act rashly after seeing him. Even so, his character was much better than Helian Yu’s.
As for this Helian Yu, even though he looked handsome, his eyes had an extra cold and crafty look. He carried a strange aura around him, and with one glance, one could tell that he was a cold-hearted person.
Mo Youyou silently weighed the two of them in her heart, making comparisons. However, the two men were no longer calm.
After hearing what Mo Youyou said, the anger in Helian Yi’s heart naturally disappeared by half. A faint smile flashed past his face, it was only for a split second, but it had caught Wu Shang’s eyes. Wu Shang was shocked. His Master laughed? He had followed Helian Yi for eleven years and had never seen his expression change at all. But today, because of a single sentence from Mo Residence’s Ninth Miss, the corners of his mouth rose!
Ah! Wu Shang couldn’t help but praise Mo Youyou in his heart.
At this moment, it was natural for some people to be happy and others, angry. Of course, the unhappy one was inevitably Prince Xiang, who had been belittled by Mo Youyou.
Helian Yu gritted his teeth as he stared at Mo Youyou’s back. Was this woman brainless or did she do it on purpose? Didn’t she know that he was her future husband? How dare she slander him like this in front of Prince Jing! If she said that Prince Jing looked like an elder and that he was not as beautiful as Prince Jing, then didn’t that mean that he looked far more like an elder compared to Prince Jing?
Helian Yu was known as one of the top three dashing young masters in the Ming You Kingdom, but who would have thought that when it came to Mo Youyou, he would just become an unremarkable uncle!
Green veins popped on the back of Helian Yu’s hands. He badly wanted to strangle this stupid woman!
How could Mo Youyou have thought that her praise would put Helian Yi in such a way? Because of her judgments, it sparked a competition between the two men.
She turned around and said to the furious Helian Yu:
“My prince, if you don’t mind, I will also call you Royal Uncle from now on!”
This way, I won’t have to marry you!
Helian Yu growled in a gloomy voice:
“How dare you!”
Mo Youyou continued to show a bright smile. The two dimples on her cheeks were particularly beautiful, making her look much more playful.
“Hehe, Your Highness, Youyou does not dare. If there’s nothing else, you can go back. While Youyou is here, you don’t have to worry that Royal Uncle will eat me. Or perhaps, you do not believe in Royal Uncle’s character?”
After being rendered speechless by Mo Youyou, Helian Yu now really did not want to see her again.
Seeing Helian Yi standing there without saying a word, he glared at Mo Youyou. After bidding his farewell to Helian Yi, Helian Yu snorted and angrily flung his sleeves as he left.
Mo Youyou watched Helian Yu’s retreating figure and shouted:
“Your Highness, don’t worry. Youyou will surely take good care of your sweetheart here at Prince Jing’s Manor. Youyou will not let Royal Uncle punish her!”
Helian Yu, who was far away, turned to look at Mo Youyou. He surely doubts whether this woman is honestly stupid or was only acting! She was unquestionably telling Helian Yi that he had placed his people inside Prince Jing’s Manor!
He only came to the Southern Courtyard to meet with the Little Sparrow because she found out about Prince Jing’s recent situation. The Southern Courtyard was a forbidden part of the Manor, and even Helian Yi would not enter the Southern Courtyard. However, not only was Mo Youyou here today, even Helian Yi had come to the southern courtyard!
If looks could kill, Mo Youyou would have already been killed countless times by Helian Yu!
Feeling the wave of killing intent coming towards her, Mo Youyou instinctively rushed behind Helian Yi, grabbed onto the corner of his clothes, and buried her face in Helian Yi’s back, before sheepishly saying:
“Royal Uncle, save me.”
Wu Shang, who was watching the scene playing in front of him, felt an indefinable sense of loss in his heart. Just now, the person’s back who Ninth Miss was hiding behind was still him …
Helian Yi swept his eyes past Helian Yu, feeling helpless, Helian Yu left without turning his head back.
Knowing that Helian Yu had left, Mo Youyou finally released Helian Yi. She placed a hand on her chest to ease her breathing.
“Phew… That was so scary!”
Helian Yi felt a chill on his back, turning his body, he instantly moved backward, maintaining a distance of 10 meters away from Mo Youyou. When Mo Youyou saw it, she could only roll her eyes at him.
“Humph! Earlier when Royal Uncle and Youyou had such close contact, you did not have such a huge reaction. And now, you react this way. What’s wrong? Does Royal Uncle not like Youyou anymore?”
Helian Yi glared at Mo Youyou angrily and asked coldly.
“Bai Xue’s current appearance, was it you who did it?”
