Chapter 8: Prince Xuan

“We’ve arrived, it’s here.”

Fatty He pointed at this ordinary farmhouse courtyard, leaned forward, and pushed open the ajar courtyard gate

“Everything has been fully investigated. Prince Xuan, please enter.”

At that moment, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Chu Yunluo stepped out in a casual manner. She glanced sideways at Fatty He, her face filled with disdain.

Her appearance caused many people to gasp; some even cried out in shock: “So ugly...”

Upon seeing this face, Prince Xuan, Yuwen Jing, seemed to recall something. He looked closely and suddenly spoke: “You are... Chu Yunluo?”

The eldest young lady of the Yutian Kingdom’s General’s Mansion. At the time of her birth, celestial phenomena appeared, with red clouds filling the sky, and the Emperor immediately issued an edict to betroth her to Prince Ning. However, during a constitution test at the age of three, it was discovered that she was merely a useless person. At the same time, the terrifying birthmark on her face grew larger as she aged.

At the age of fourteen, this woman, famous throughout the Yutian Kingdom for her ugliness, mysteriously disappeared. No one knew her whereabouts. Now, he had encountered her here in Fengqing Town. If he were to inform his third brother, Prince Ning, of this matter, one could only wonder what he would feel upon learning that his ugly fiancée was still alive and well.

Chu Yunluo was visibly stunned. Did this monstrously handsome man know her?

However, when she had transmigrated, she had not received all of Chu Yunluo's complete information. Therefore, she couldn't remember at all who this man before her was.

“I unfortunately injured my head a few years ago and always have trouble remembering things, so may I ask who you are?”

Chu Yunluo reached up to touch her forehead, acting delicate and frail.

Naturally, this action once again earned eye-rolls from everyone except Prince Xuan.

Please, being ugly is one thing, but can you not be so flamboyant! Are you intentionally coming here to make everyone nauseous?

“Amnesia?”

Yuwen Jing raised his sword-like eyebrows, and then gave a smile that could topple all living beings.

“No matter. For some things, it might actually be a good thing that you cannot remember.”

Now, his third brother could be completely at ease. Since Chu Yunluo had amnesia, she naturally wouldn't remember the engagement.

Seeing Prince Xuan chatting amiably with this ugly freak, Fatty He was afraid he might forget their previous purpose, so he stepped forward to remind him: “Prince Xuan, that five-year-old fire-element mage is her son.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a clap of thunder on flat ground, giving Prince Xuan quite a shock.

After being missing for nearly six years, she had actually been off having a son?

No wonder the people from the General’s Mansion had not mentioned this matter a single word, making it impossible to glean even a hint of information.

Now, his third brother must be jumping for joy. She had a child out of wedlock; even if she remembered the engagement, she likely wouldn't have the face to demand that his brother fulfill it.

“You dead fatty! This lady hasn't even married yet, where would I get a son from? Which of your eyes saw me having a son?”

Chu Yunluo’s eyes shifted as she glared fiercely at Fatty He.

“Keep your blood-stained mouth from spreading lies here. If my boyfriend finds out and dumps me, I will hold you solely responsible!”

She stood with her hands on her hips, and combined with that disastrous face, her ferocious appearance made Fatty He momentarily forget to argue.

At this moment, Ning Honglie, standing in the courtyard, felt a strange sensation grow in his heart upon hearing her words. Hearing her say she had a boyfriend, he actually had the illusion that he wanted to step out and protect her.

Even though he was very clearly aware that this "weak woman" was not weak at all.

In the marketplace, when she had pushed her son forward to face that large crowd of hooligans, he had originally thought she was a cold-hearted mother. But seeing her in this state now, he realized he must have misunderstood her.
