Chapter 2 – Demotion of Wife to Concubine

By admin | October 4, 201625 Comments

Ye Yichen’s face darkened. Lowering his eyes, he patiently explained, “You have been sick for many years, and your body is weak, even after annulling the engagement, it is impossible for you to marry into a good family. You have a marriage agreement with me, and have waited for me for so long, I will not treat you shabbily. After marrying into the Prince Jing household, you will be the first concubine, and your position will only be slightly lower than the first wife…”

“The first concubine is still a concubine. I am the Marquis’ first wife’s daughter. No matter how bad the marriage is, I will never be a concubine!” Murong Xue harshly rejected his proposal, fire brewing beneath her eyes. She had already been so clear, yet Ye Yichen still wanted to take her as concubine. Did he really not understand her or was he acting as if he did not get her meaning?

Ye Yichen is young and handsome, with many military accomplishments. He has control of the army and is highly valued by the Emperor. Lots of girls from prestigious families in the capital would give up on the first wife position to marry him as concubine, but those people definitely do not include her, Murong Xue!

Her cold voice pierced through his ear drums and pounded onto his heart. Ye Yichen stiffened and frowned as he looked towards Murong Xue. She wore a dress of pink smoke silk; the edges of the skirt lightly brushed the ground, enhancing the delicate shape of her body. Her hair, like a waterfall, was lightly rolled up using a green snow floral pin, revealing a smooth forehead, and a slightly pale but bright small face. Her black eyes were like stars in the dark sky, calm but determined!

It had been three years since the last time he had seen her. The weak and sickly girl in his memory, that even the wind could blow her down, had grown in a beautiful young woman. Her gentle nature had also become cold and indifferent. Her gaze directed towards him was even colder, with not a hint of admiration and attachment. This is her – noble and proud, elegant and calm, like the red blossoms in the cold winter months, quietly blooming and presenting her beauty, not making a sound but is exceptionally attractive.

When she asked to annul the engagement, she really meant that she wanted to annul the marriage agreement and it was not a bid to play hard and attract his attention!

Her stubbornness had directed the situation into developing the opposite path to which he had envisioned, growing it completely out of his control! He did not like this feeling.

A dark haze passed Ye Yichen’s eyes as he looked up at Murong Xue, “Our engagement is our parents’ wish, and the matchmaker’s words. How can one lightly change it?”

“The engagement my parents agreed upon is for me to marry your highness as first wife and not to become your highness’ concubine. When your highness demoted me to a concubine, it already went against the wish of my parents!” Ye Yichen destroyed the marriage agreement in front of the entire court and still dared to reprimand her for not obeying her parents’ wishes – how utterly shameless! If she were to marry this type of person, don’t even mention about being a concubine, even if she were the first wife, she would not even give a care for it.

Ye Yichen’s gave her a meaningful look, “You still blame me!”

Such an unfeeling and unrighteous person. He was just wasting her time. All she wants to do now is to draw the line between him and her, and not have anything to do him ever again!

“Prince Jing is marring the Princess of Mobei for the sake of the people of Qingyan. How could I possibility blame you? By taking the initiative to annul the marriage, I am supporting your Highness and the Princess, and looking forward to the peace between Qingyan and Mobei. Am I wrong? Unless it is not enough that your Highness marries your beloved Princess Yuyuan as first wife, you also want to take me, the ex-fiancée, as concubine, to fulfill your carnal desires?”

At the last few words, Murong Xue’s tone grew heavy. Ye Yichen heard the derision in her voice, his handsome face became overcast and his eyes flashed darkly. He gave no care to carnal desires; he allowed Murong Xue to be his concubine because…

“Miss Murong, please don’t be angry. It is all my fault…” a gentle female voice suddenly rang out in the great hall.

Murong Xue raised her head towards the source only to see a beautiful lady standing behind the marble stage. Glass-coloured butterfly hairpin adorned her small delicate fringe, a long tassel hung down, complementing her elegant long dress; the edges of her skirt were embroidered with fresh-looking begonia flowers. It lightly gathered at the waist, reflecting her slim figure and willow-like posture. That exceedingly beautiful little face was full of apology, “I did not know that Miss Murong and Prince Jing had a marriage agreement. That’s why I came to Qingyan. I am so sorry that it caused a misunderstanding between the both of you.”

Qin Yuyuan and Ye Yiyuan are deeply in love with each other and have definitely poured their souls out to one another. How could Qin Yuyuan not have known about their marriage agreement?
