The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2438 - 17: Sisters Reunited

Mu Huaen turned her head, and what caught her eye was a luxurious carriage. Seated inside was a beautiful young woman, and upon seeing her turn, the girl in the carriage alighted.

Her clothes were ornate, adorned with flowers and jade, and her already delicate features were made even more picturesque with makeup.

However, the surprise on her face, along with the dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes, deeply etched a few creases into this portrait of beauty.

"Why are you in the Capital City? Weren’t you in Funan?" Mu Huarong glanced at the person beside Mu Huaen and, seeing that the others were keeping their distance, angrily stared at her sister, "You broke your promise. You clearly left the Capital City, so what’s going on now? Did you change your mind?"

Mu Huarong’s aggressive tone prompted the servant girl Juan’er to step protectively in front of her mistress.

"Eldest Miss, the Capital City is our Miss’s home. She can return whenever she wishes. Does she need Eldest Miss’s permission?"

"Slap..." Mu Huarong flung a slap over, "Insolent servant, do you think you have the right to interrupt when the masters are speaking? You’re just a servant of the Mu Family, and yet you think you can defy the heavens? Who gave you the courage to speak to your masters in such a manner?"

The words were directed at Juan’er, but her gaze was fixed intensely on Mu Huaen.

It seemed to be accusing Mu Huaen of instigating Juan’er’s insolence.

Mu Huaen turned her head to look at Juan’er’s face; Mu Huarong’s slap was strong, and Juan’er’s face quickly swelled and reddened.

"What does it have to do with you where I want to go?" Mu Huaen turned back to stare directly at Mu Huarong, then, without waiting for her to react, returned the slap, "This is what you owe me!"

Not giving Mu Huarong a chance to respond, Mu Huaen slapped her again, "Since when was it your turn to discipline my servant?"

"Mu Huaen, how dare you hit me?" Mu Huarong touched her two cheeks, her eyes sharp as poisoned blades, "Don’t forget, I’m your elder sister; our parents never taught you to disrespect your elder sister."

"Haha." Mu Huaen coldly laughed, looking over, "But now aren’t you my younger sister? Isn’t it only right for an elder sister to teach an ill-behaved younger sister a lesson?"

"You..."

Mu Huarong was left speechless.

"There are some things I won’t dwell on, nor will I renege on, but don’t push it. If you’re done talking, you can leave now."

Mu Huarong had calmed down by now, not as horrified as when she first saw Mu Huaen.

She looked around at the people with Mu Huaen, seeming to search for something on this road.

But she didn’t ask much, suppressing her inner worries, she stepped forward with a smile, "Sister, when did you return to the Capital City? Why haven’t you come home?"

The sweet voice sent shivers up Mu Huaen’s spine.

"Do I need to inform you when I return to the Capital City?" Mu Huaen said indifferently, "I really wish to return home, but I’m afraid if I do, you won’t even be able to sleep at night."

Having finished speaking, she didn’t bother looking at her expression and simply called Juan’er to leave.

"Wait!"

With things unclear, naturally Mu Huarong wasn’t willing to let her leave, "Sister, where are you going? Let me have the carriage take you."

Mu Huaen frowned, "Stay away from me, I have nothing to say to you."

"Sister, what do you mean by this?" Mu Huarong was very displeased. She didn’t even hold her accountable for the two slaps, besides, it was she who was willing regarding that matter, so why act like she’s unforgivable now?
