Chapter 69 Princess Murong Lin Makes Her Debut
Murong Feng was filled with doubt, pondering to himself: [Strange—no response? Why is there no news of the person who went in? Could something have changed?]
As he pondered this, he straightened his back, raised his hand to scratch his head, trying to ease his confusion and unease. Then, he casually glanced behind him, and what he saw startled him greatly.
Caught off guard, Murong Feng screamed in shock at the sudden sight: "Ah—Eighth Sister! What brings you here!" Her voice was filled with undisguised fear and panic.
The woman stood there like a cold sculpture, her eyes like icy stars, cold and piercing, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate one's soul, like ancient ice that had never melted, shooting straight at him, making him feel as if he were in an ice cellar.
The woman standing before me was none other than the Eighth Princess, Murong Lin. She possessed an exceptionally beautiful face, with eyebrows like distant mountains, and slightly upturned eyes that exuded an innate arrogance. Her eyes were like deep, cold pools, yet they often flashed with a sharp light, revealing a willful and capricious nature in their every glance. Her nose was high and straight, like a mountain peak, and below it, her cherry-red lips, though naturally rosy, always spoke words that were sharp and sarcastic. Her skin was as white as snow, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and her jet-black hair, as smooth and lustrous as satin, was meticulously styled into an elaborate and ornate bun, adorned with priceless jewels that sparkled brilliantly with every movement, further emphasizing her self-importance.
Murong Lin was born into a noble family. Her birth mother was the closest sister to the current Empress Dowager. With this powerful background, she acted recklessly in the palace from a young age, developing a self-righteous and arrogant personality. After coming of age, she married Su Jinran, an ordinary official. Even so, her arrogant temper remained unchanged. She continued to act domineeringly in her husband's family, regarding others as ants. At the slightest displeasure, she would fly into a rage, causing chaos and disorder.
As the only son of the Su family, Su Jinran had been completely obedient and respectful to Princess Murong Lin since their marriage. Every morning, he would rise early to prepare exquisite tea and snacks for the princess, his words filled with humility and concern. When they went out, he would follow closely beside her, always attentive to her needs, and would immediately understand and act upon even the slightest hint from her. However, Murong Lin was willful and capricious, often verbally abusing him without any explanation. Sometimes, at palace banquets, if Su Jinran did something that displeased her, she would publicly hurl insults at him, using sharp and cutting words that caused him to lose face in front of everyone. Although Su Jinran felt resentful and aggrieved, he dared not speak out because of the princess's noble status. Under long-term suppression, Su Jinran could only drown his sorrows in alcohol. By chance, he met a man named... Shen Wanqing was Su Jinran's daughter. Shen Wanqing was beautiful, with delicate features, a gentle and refined demeanor, and a kind and compassionate heart. Whenever Su Jinran came to her with a troubled expression, she would listen patiently, comforting him with gentle words and helping him resolve his worries. Unbeknownst to them, the two became kindred spirits. Su Jinran found solace in the coldness of the princess's mansion and often came to her to confide his troubles. One day, however, Murong Feng learned of this. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Su Jinran revealed his true feelings and explained his helplessness and suffering to Murong Feng in detail. Murong Feng knew his sister's fiery temper and pitied Su Jinran's plight, so he decided to help him. When Su Jinran met with Shen Wanqing, Murong Feng volunteered to keep watch. However, he also solemnly warned Su Jinran not to do anything to betray his eighth sister, and that he was only allowed to confide his troubles in the restaurant, and must not overstep any boundaries.
