My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Killing intent flashed in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, and she turned around, looking at Zeng Rou coldly.

Zeng Rou was stunned by her gaze, then felt she couldn’t possibly be afraid of the gaze of a trash, so she shook her head lightly, puffed out her large breasts, and said arrogantly: “Lou Mu Yan, this Young Miss here told you to stay, and yet you dare to leave!”

The cold light in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes grew colder—this woman exploited her relationship as Chi Yi Xuan’s distant younger cousin and often bullied and oppressed the original owner of the body. Meanwhile, the original owner always conceded to give face to the Chi Clan. But in turn, it allowed this big-chested, no-brained woman to grow exceedingly arrogant, acting self-important.

“Pfft, who do you think you are? If I want to stay, I stay, if I want to leave, I leave, must I ask permission from the daughter of a lowly merchant?” Distain and ridicule oozed from her gaze.

It wasn’t that she belittled merchants, but that their overall status in Yan’zhou Kingdom wasn’t that high. In recent years, it was only because Gu Yan Ran’s elder sister entered the palace as an Imperial Noble Consort that the merchant’s status improved. Of course, it was probably also one of the Emperor’s acquiesced tactics.

“You—” This was the first time Zeng Rou heard Lou Mu Yan mock her without consideration of anyone’s feelings. She suddenly didn’t know how to handle the situation, and her face that was already thick with blush grew even redder as she held her breath in anger.

Hearing the suppressed laughter around them, Zeng Rou’s anger erupted. She drew her longsword, pointed it at Lou Mu Yan, and lunged towards her. Today, she must teach her a lesson.

Seeing Zeng Rou wield her sword to stab her, Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed some disdain. Even though Zeng Rou was a Middle-Phase Sword Apprentice and was one phase above the original owner of this body, but Lou Mu Yan had her own Flesh Refining Method she learnt from her previous life. It was simple for her to avoid the attack if she wanted to. Within the one month she was recuperating from her injuries, she trained this weak body every single day.

Just as Zeng Rou’s sword was about to pierce Lou Mu Yan’s chest, Chi Yi Xuan frowned slightly, but didn’t stop it. He knew Zeng Rou didn’t have the courage to kill Lou Mu Yan.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan Ran appeared to worry, but she was delighted in her heart. Lou Mu Yan asked for this herself. So what if she had a noble status? If it weren’t for her elder sister warning her not to provoke Lou Mu Yan anymore, she would’ve wanted to make another move and completely handicap this spoilt, reckless trash.

Yet when everyone thought Lou Mu Yan was about to be stabbed, she suddenly flipped herself backwards, instantly avoiding Zeng Rou’s attack.

Her gaze chilled. She spun around and kicked Zeng Rou in the stomach, and as the latter hugged her abdomen, Lou Mu Yan grabbed her wrist, tugged her closer, then lowered Zeng Rou’s body and kneed her in the chest.

“AH!” Zeng Rou had no battle experience, so she could only shriek in pain in this situation.

Lou Mu Yan’s shocking behaviour stunned the audience. This trash had this sort of talent? It must be luck.

“Stop.” Gu Yan Ran said tenderly, but, inwardly, she wished Lou Mu Yan would give Zeng Rou a few more beatings so that Chi Yi Xuan could despise her even more. Lou Mu Yan ignored Gu Yan Ran’s shout, lifted her foot, and directly kicked Zeng Rou to the ground.

Zeng Rou held the place she was kicked, heard the ridicule of everyone, and, disregarding the pain of her body, screamed like a madman, swinging her sword towards Lou Mu Yan again. But this time, she learnt to be clever, guarding against the tricks Lou Mu Yan used just before.

Lou Mu Yan sneered. What a stupid woman. No wonder Gu Yan Ran took advantage of her all day long.

She simply used her Silk-Mist Steps to dodge the attack and dashed to Zeng Rou’s side. An arrest knocked the sword from Zeng Rou’s hands, then with one hand clasping her wrist, the other reached directly for Zeng Rou’s face.

[PA! PA!] Everyone merely saw Lou Mu Yan incessantly slap Zeng Rou’s face left and right, yet they also felt the pain on their cheeks.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Chi Yi Xuan frowned and said coldly: “Lou Mu Yan, that’s enough.”

Lou Mu Yan was just feeling gratified—she was already aggrieved when her cultivation completely fell from an almighty cultivator into trash after she transmigrated, but, aside from the evident concern from her family in the one month, everything else also made her extremely vexed. So she welcomed Zeng Rou who took the initiative to come up to her and ‘allow’ her to vent the little bit of her irritation and dissatisfaction. But that stinky Chi Yi Xuan actually told her it was enough and to stop? Why should she?

Though she inherited the emotions of the original owner of this body, she could still forcibly let go of the intense love that didn’t belong to her. She blatantly rolled her eyes at Chi Yi Xuan and continued to slap Zeng Rou.

“Pfft, Yi Xuan, Lou Mu Yan doesn’t even give you face anymore. Interesting.” Yun Jin’s amorous eyes revealed a hint of interest. Today, at first glance, he already felt that Lou Mu Yan had changed, but he didn’t expect her to become this interesting.

Chi Yi Xuan’s face darkened, then said impatiently: “Lou Mu Yan, stop playing these types of tricks to get my attention, hurry up and let Zeng Rou go.”

When Lou Mu Yan heard Chi Yi Xuan say this, the anger in her chest burned even fiercer, and she stopped temporarily.

When everyone thought she would release Zeng Rou, act cute, and apologise to Chi Yi Xuan, she suddenly looked Chi Yi Xuan up and down, then said with disdain: “And who do you think you are? This Young Miss isn’t bothered playing with you anymore. Look at you, want chests and yet you have none, want a butt and yet you also have none. You don’t even look as good as the purple-clothed handsome beauty standing beside you. I really don’t know which eye of mine was blind to fancy you.”

Her words shocked the entire audience. What did she mean ‘want chests and yet you have none’? ‘Want a butt and yet you also have none’? What did a man need those for? Were men described in such a way? This is a blatant insult!

“Pfft, HAHA—” Yin Jin couldn’t help but roar with laughter. It was rare to see Chi Yi Xuan be the laughingstock, so he was exceptionally happy, laughed very openly, and felt that Lou Mu Yan was even more pleasing to the eye.

Chi Yi Xuan’s face turned dark, and cold air exuded from his body. He never expected that Lou Mu Yan, who always obeyed him, would refute him in such a way. He debated whether to argue back, yet felt he didn’t need to dispute with an ignorant woman. But he also felt extremely discontent with Lou Mu Yan’s attitude towards him.

Gu Yan Ran sneered inwardly. Lou Mu Yan, you’re so stupid. Did you think you could attract Yi Xuan’s gaze? A barbaric trash like you will only push him further away.

Taking gentle lotus steps forward, Gu Yan Ran said to Lou Mu Yan with a look of righteousness: “Young Miss Lou, don’t you think this is a little too much? Zeng Rou did not harm you, so why do you humiliate her so?”

Lou Mu Yan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her hands. Only after did she raise her head, facing Gu Yan Ran with a look of ridicule, saying: “Is it only when her sword pierces my chest that it’s considered ‘harm’? Young Miss Gu, since you are Young Miss Zeng’s best friend, why didn’t you come out and stop me earlier? Only stepping out to demonstrate your righteous heart after you finished watching the show, is that not too late? What’s more, is it in your place to tell this Young Miss what to do? Who do you think you are as well?”

When Zeng Rou heard Lou Mu Yan’s words, she raised her head and looked at Gu Yan Ran with anger burning in her eyes.

Gu Yan Ran didn’t expect that after one month, Lou Mu Yan not only seemed to be a different person, but she was also so astute, resolving the awkwardness of her vicious and humiliating acts towards Zeng Rou, and even pushed the conflict onto herself.

She wasn’t afraid of Zeng Rou hating her, but she still needed such a stupid woman to be her shield and an excuse to do things in her stead.

“So Young Miss Lou considers yourself reasonable for beating someone then? I saw Yi Xuan stepping out to stop you, therefore I didn’t. Who knew you wouldn’t even give him any face today…”

Gu Yan Ran said in a gentle voice as if having been put in a difficult position, while acting considerate of Lou Mu Yan, “If I stepped out, I feared that I would accidentally hurt you. If that harmed the harmony between the Lou Clan and the Gu Clan again, my sin would be too grave.”

Lou Mu Yao curled her lips, smiling. This woman was certainly conniving. She only said a few sentences and it tossed the criticism back to her.
