Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok! Chapter 220

"This..." The servant stamred, unable to say anything coherent for a long while.

It seems that this eunuch was indeed secretly invited by the Fourth Master of the Chu Family. Whatever the purpose, it must not be revealed to Chu Wuyun, for she is the legitimate daughter of the Third Master.

Moreover, as far as Chen Muxue knew, the force behind the Chu Family in the original script had always been the Sixth Prince. Yet the Fourth Lady openly ntioned the Fifth Prince, indicating their allegiance differed from that of most in the Chu Family.

The family vaguely showed signs of standing behind the Sixth Prince, while the Fourth Master secretly aligned with the Fifth Prince. This was a grave taboo; a slight misstep would please neither side and result in double the bitter consequences.

"Could it be a counterfeit?" Chu Wuyun said, sowhat showing off unintentionally, "I have seen all the eunuchs with any prestige from the Sixth Prince’s side. Master Huo, you might not know, but my father has even considered betrothing to the Sixth Prince as a concubine!"

She presented herself with the stance of "I am very sought after, potentially even becoming a Prince Consort" to demonstrate her allure.

However, Huo Lian truly wasn’t interested in a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, especially not one like her.

Besides, the Sixth Prince? Huo Lian shook his head internally.

Chen Muxue tried hard to recall, but couldn’t rember the Sixth Prince ever marrying anyone from the Chu Family. She sighed, thinking, although the Sixth Prince ascended the throne in the original story, it seed it was by stepping over the entire Chu Family, elevating only Chu Wuyi, who had long been declared dead by the Chu Family, to his position.

Poor little girl, at this mont, she still thought her father’s intention was sothing to be proud of.

A truly loving father, who among them would wish to throw their precious daughter into the deep palace, that devouring place? Not to ntion, at this ti, whether the Sixth Prince could succeed was still uncertain; during this period of fierce competition among the dragons, he still thought of throwing his daughter into the den of dragons and tigers...

No way? Couldn’t even sway him?

Seeing Huo Lian still maintaining a calm expression, Chu Wuyun beca a bit anxious.

She had once run into Huo Lian on the street, causing her heart to flutter. Afterwards, she inquired about him and beca completely captivated, according to usual circumstances, she, the dignified seventh miss of the Chu family’s direct line, wouldn’t get to et the son of a trader.

Today, for so reason, Huo Lian actually had the fortune to enter the doors of the Chu Family. She finally had a chance to have a close encounter with him, but why was Huo Lian so slow in understanding?

As soone from a rchant family, if you had the chance to reach upwards to her, a young lady of an official’s family, wouldn’t you seize it quickly?

The rigid social hierarchy of scholar, farr, artisan, and rchant was clearly indelible in Chu Wuyun’s mind, yet she hadn’t considered that a family that did business from the Immortal Cultivation World to the royal family, would truly look up to a family that rose to officialdom rely by luck?

"Hey! I’m asking you! Show your face so I can see! Is there really a eunuch I don’t know?" Chu Wuyun felt her authority challenged, angrily pointing at Chen Muxue.

"This... the eunuch contracted red-eye disease and doesn’t dare let Miss Seventh see. What if it spreads to you?" The servant quickly thought on their feet and said.

Everyone except Chu Wuyun remained silent. If red-eye disease could be contracted just by a glance, then wouldn’t every doctor have it? The primary thod of transmission for red-eye disease is when the eyes contact objects contaminated by bacteria.

Surprisingly, Chu Wuyun was truly frightened upon hearing this: "You dared let a diseased eunuch in?! Are you from the fourth house planning a rebellion?"
