Capítulo 17: Chapter 17 Marriage Bestowment Turmoil (II)

Editor: Henyee Translations

"I agree to the annulment, but," Mu Ruyue glanced at the frightened princes and grandsons, a faint smile lifting the corners of her lips, "it's not the Royal Family annulling the marriage, it's me, Mu Ruyue, who refuses to marry the heir of Prince Jing, and I don't want to have any ties with anyone from the Royal Family!"

"Mu Ruyue!" Mu Qing shouted loudly. Was this rebellious girl looking to die? Even if she wanted to die, she shouldn't drag her down with her. What status does the Royal Family have? Giving her an official wife position was already a favor. Even if they demoted her to a concubine, Mu Qing would never say a word against the Royal Family.

But this rebellious girl was too ungrateful, daring to publicly disdain these princes and grandsons!

Mu Ruyue looked coldly at Mu Qing, the corner of her lips curling in a mocking smile. Now she knew to be scared? Why didn't she feel fear when she brought her here in the first place?

"I, Mu Ruyue, have my pride. Frankly speaking, I look down on the heir of Prince Jing. Such a promiscuous stallion, I wouldn't even fancy him if I were blind!"

Promiscuous... stallion?

The princes and grandsons were stunned. Did that include them as well?

But seeing the Emperor Zi Yue's face turning livid, everyone took a cold breath; no one dared to speak.

Sitting beside Emperor Zi Yue, Ji Ru Ya almost clapped her hands in agreement. Wasn't it true? Apart from the late Prince Nan, which man in the Royal Family didn't have three wives and four concubines? They were all promiscuous stallions infected with diseases.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, an inappropriate laugh broke the tense atmosphere.

Ye Yihua shook his folding fan, smiling as he said, "Apologies, I couldn't hold it in. Mu Ruyue, if you weren't a waste, I would marry you."

"I've said it: I have no interest in stallions. My man must have only me in this lifetime, not infecting himself with diseases, so even if I'm a waste, I wouldn't marry you."

Raising an eyebrow, Ye Yihua lightly shook his folding fan and said, "Father Emperor, your son has a proposal."

By this time, Emperor Zi Yue's mood had calmed, but his expression was still dark enough to drip water.

"Speak freely."

"Does Father Emperor still remember the fool left by Imperial Uncle? That fool has never been in contact with women since childhood, and now the Prince Mansion has only an old nanny taking care of him. He will likely never have physical contact with any woman. Your son thinks she is quite suitable for that fool. Why not betroth them?"

My dear cousin, you should thank me for sending you a breathtakingly beautiful bride.

Thinking of this, Ye Yihua felt great, not knowing that he would later regret this decision for the rest of his life.

"You mean the Ghost King?" Emperor Zi Yue sneered. He was someone who held grudges. Not executing this woman on the spot was entirely due to the Mu Family's face, but it didn't mean he couldn't give her some punishment.

"Very well, I will immediately issue an edict. In three months, the Mu Family's daughter, Mu Ruyue, shall marry the Ghost King, Ye Wuchen."

Ghost King?

Memories of the Ghost King flashed through Mu Ruyue's mind.

This Ghost King was the son of Prince Nan'an, Emperor Zi Yue's biological brother.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Nan'an was born nearly thirty years later than Emperor Zi Yue, he might have been the Emperor of Purple Moon Country. Unfortunately, fate was cruel, and he was destined never to ascend the throne.

More legendary was that Prince Nan'an and his Princess Consort were deeply in love. Despite being a Prince of Purple Moon Country, he married only one wife in his lifetime and left only one son, Ye Wuchen.

On the night that Prince Nan'an and his Princess Consort were murdered by treacherous villains, it was said that Ye Wuchen, who witnessed it all firsthand, was so terrified that he became a fool, and ever since, he has been an idiot.

It was said that this fool was not only idiotic but also looked like a ghost. The maid who once served him was frightened out of her mind by his appearance. Since then, no one was willing to step into the Ghost Prince Manor.

Because of this, he who inherited Prince Nan'an's title was given another title: Ghost King!

Of course, this Ghost King rarely left the Prince Mansion, and only an old nanny took care of him. Besides the Royal Family, no one else had seen the Ghost King, so it was unknown whether he was truly as hideous as the rumors said.

Originally unwilling to marry into the Royal Family, Mu Ruyue now had a different idea.

If she went to the Ghost Prince Manor, it would be easier to act than in the Mu Family and more suitable for her plans...
