Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-532

“The Master’s seal? This… How can this be?”

Murong Rou’er covered her mouth and stumbled a few steps back as her
frail body trembled slightly.

The one who will inherit the Murong family is Murong Yan? Which also
means that my years of hard work have all gone to waste?

No!

I cannot accept this!

That woman, Murong Yan, has no right to sit in that position!

A sinister light flashed briefly across Murong Rou’er’s eyes before she
quickly reverted to her usual facade. However, she could not help but
clench her hands into fists. Her beautiful eyes were fixed upon Murong
Yan who was holding the seal in her hand.

“What?” Murong Yan laughed icily, “Elder Er, you’ve seen the Master’s
seal. Why are you not backing down?”

Elder Er took a deep breath and sighed. A peculiar glint flashed across
his eyes.

“Second Lady, do you really want to do this?”

“And what if I do?” Murong Yan’s voice grew colder as she spoke with an
arrogant look on her pretty face, “Besides, I’m an arrogant, despotic and
headstrong woman in your eyes! If that’s the case, I simply don’t mind
acting with a bit more arrogance! Now, as the next Master of the Murong
family, I order you to stand down! No one is allowed to touch my guests.
Those who go against me shall be severely dealt with!”

Elder Er narrowed his eyes slightly. He wasn’t sure why but it felt as if
the Second Lady had turned into a completely different person.

She was still as arrogant and aggressive as before but her current
temperament was exactly the same as Master Murong.

When had she grown into such a strong presence?

“The Second Lady has spoken so how can I not comply?” Elder Er regained
his senses and spoke curtly, “Let’s go!”

Once he had finished his piece, he scoffed, turned around and disappeared
from view.

“Yan’er.”

Murong Rou’er bit her lip and walked to Murong Yan’s side. Her gentle
gaze fell upon her, “I know that there has been some sort of
misunderstanding between us but I don’t blame you. Regardless of anything
that happens, you are my most beloved little sister and the most
important person to me.”

Had she not discovered this woman’s true colors, Murong Yan would
probably have remained completely oblivious to her act.

Now, she only responded with a cold scoff, curling the corners of her
lips into a mocking smile.

“Murong Rou’er, you shouldn’t have done it if you didn’t want anyone to
find out in the end! No one knows better than you of the things that
you’ve done to me! Even so, did you ever consider how much I’ve labored
for you? For the sake of your position, I had willingly allowed myself to
be labeled as an idiot! I’ve also helped you to get to where you are
today! If I haven’t helped you, do you really think that you’d be able to
step up and help the Murong family out of our crisis?”

Murong Yan stared disappointedly at the beautiful face before her.

“Yan’er, what are you saying?”

Suddenly, Murong Rou’er noticed a handsome figure approaching them. A
peculiar glint flashed across her beautiful eyes. She hurriedly covered
it up with her initial demeanor and plastered a look of complete shock on
her face, “I am where I am today because of my own efforts. I was the one
who had led the Murong family business into our current successful state.
If I had not given my suggestions, would the Murong family have grown
into what it is today? Why would you say such things and try to claim all
of my hard work for your own.”

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. That sorrowful and despondent look
on her face was a perfect picture of someone who has been hurt by the
person they had trusted the most.

“Yan’er, if you want my current position, I can give it to you with no
strings attached. Please don’t hurt me like this. As long as it’s
something you want, even if it’s my own life, I would give it to you. You
are, after all, the person who is closest to me.”
