Chapter 474 - 473 Everything is up to the master (first watch)
Li Xianyun didn’t have to think to know what Jinwu and Youlan had said in the corner.
These past few days, Youlan had been avoiding Jinwu as if she were a mouse seeing a cat.
When they bumped into each other just now, Youlan was looking down, not lifting her eyelids even once, wishing she were like an ostrich that could bury its head in the sand.
Underneath Jinwu’s eyes was a patch of dark green, his beard unshaven, giving away that he had been having a really rough couple of days.
His eyes were fixed on Youlan’s face, appearing as though he had something to say but hesitated.
Watching Youlan’s face flushed red, Li Xianyun teased her on purpose, "I knew you wouldn’t fancy Jinwu. I also think he’s not suitable for you, just like a toad lusting after a swan’s meat. He’s a complete brute, not one to be tender, and following him would surely lead to suffering."
Upon hearing this, Youlan wanted to defend Jinwu:
Big Brother Jin might look like a brute, but he is gentle and considerate, not at all a boor or a toad.
Yet she didn’t dare to speak out, afraid that voicing her thoughts would invite Li Xianyun’s ridicule, so she held back.
"Rest assured, I will arrange your marriage soon. Many of the old courtiers were dismissed, and Khan has promoted quite a few capable newcomers, among whom are many with good looks and good family backgrounds. If you fancy anyone, just tell me. As your family head, I’m certainly capable of arranging it," she said, claiming a sisterly affection.
