121 Stand Up for Her

Lu Yao had a bitterness that she could not talk about. She was just a concubine’s child and did not have a high status in the Lu family. She originally thought that their lives would be a lot better after Chu Xianmin became the Crown Princess, but who would have expected this situation?

Chu Liuyue turned around coolly. “Let’s go!”

First Elder suppressed the anger in his heart. “Close the door!”

When everyone in the Chu family returned to the mansion, he took a deep breath in and shouted, “Go and inform all the family elders. Tell them to come to the living room now. I think we should properly clear up the Chu family’s accounts today!” After he finished his sentence, he did not forget to glance at Lu Yao, who had already long lost her soul. “Especially Chu Yan! Get him to come over!”

“Yes!”

Lu Yao’s legs felt like jelly, and she collapsed on the floor; her face was as pale as a ghost’s.

…

Tian Lu Academy.

They turned around and saw Mu Hongyu. Once they saw her, many students started to become scared.

Mu Hongyu had a fiery temper and was very capable, so she was not easy to deal with. The most important thing was that she had a formidable background. She was Prince Ping Jiang’s only daughter—the legitimate Princess Yong Ping. Even though she was not a royal princess, her status was equally prestigious.

“Why aren’t you talking anymore? I thought you were having a great discussion just now.” Mu Hongyu raised her leg and walked in as her eyes swept across the crowd with much interest. Even though she was smiling, the crowd could hear the threat in her voice.

“Hehe… Hongyu, we’re just casually talking. We didn’t say much.”

“That’s right!”

Mu Hongyu crossed her arms and raised her chins. She crisply said, “I heard what you said just now very clearly. Let me tell you that Chu Liuyue is my friend. If I hear anyone talking bad about her in the future, don’t blame me for being harsh.”

The crowd fell silent. They looked at each other awkwardly since they did not expect Mu Hongyu to say this.

Friend… Since when did she become friends with Chu Liuyue?

Chu Liuyue—who was coincidentally passing by—had also heard her words. She paused in her tracks and weirdly looked at Mu Hongyu, who was not far away. Actually, they only talked to each other twice, but Mu Hongyu still stood up for her.

As the duo talked, the remaining people found their conversation boring, and all left on their own respectively.

…

“Liuyue, are you really not angry about what those people said about you?” asked Mu Hongyu when nobody was around them.

Chu Liuyue smiled. “What’s there to be angry about? Since I dare to do it, I won’t be afraid of other people talking about me. Besides, you’ve also seen that they only dare to talk about me behind my back. They can’t even say a single word in front of me. If I need to scold everyone that talks bad about me, I’ll be busy to death. It’s not worth wasting my effort on these people.”

Mu Hongyu pouted. “You’re pretty similar to my father when you talk, but I can’t get over it. I will definitely take revenge for anything that makes me unhappy.”

Mu Hongyu was straightforward and did not beat around the bushes when she talked, but she was also someone that was reluctant to suffer losses.

Chu Liuyue knew that it was useless for her to advise Mu Hongyu otherwise. Besides, Mu Hongyu helped her this time, so she smiled and changed the topic. “You said you found a few other people? Who are they?”

Mu Hongyu extended her hand. “Other than us, there are three other people. Liao Zhongshu and Cen Hu have agreed to join us already. The two of them are pretty strong, and they placed ninth and seventh in the semester assessment, respectively. They’re also on pretty good terms with me. They’re definitely trustable! Oh, right. There’s still Gu Mingfeng! You should know him—he battled against Chu Xianmin in the finals.”
