Chapter 6 – Bride Price The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

Murong Xue turned her head towards Murong Ye only to see him wearing a bamboo-embroidered dark blue robe, his dark hair was tied up using a marble crown, revealing a smooth forehead. His handsome face was slightly innocent, skin white, lips red, and black-marble-like eyes shining; a really beautiful young man.

But when she thought of how this young man is actually famous in the Capital for being a playboy; playing with horses and birds, and not willing to learn, she said, “I don’t like money.”

Uh, that’s right. His sister lives in the Mansion where food, clothes, accommodation and materials have all been taken care of. She also doesn’t go out of the Mansion easily, and thus doesn’t have many opportunities to spend. It is quite inappropriate for him to exchange money for the Tibetan mastiff.

“Then what about giving you a few suits of rare clothing and jewelry?” Murong Ye said smiling; all girls like pretty clothes and jewelry, and his sister shouldn’t be an exception.

Murong Xue continued to undermine his negotiation mercilessly, “Any clothes or jewelry that you can buy, I can too.”

Alright. The best clothes come from Yixiang Court and the best jewelry in the Capital comes from Duobao Court. No matter whether it was him shopping, or his sister, they will both be able to buy about the same things.

“Then what will it take for you to give me that Tibetan mastiff?” Murong Ye’s despondent voice was laced with dejection.

“There are so many dogs in the colosseum, you can buy another one. Why do you want my Tibetan mastiff?” Tibetan mastiffs are fierce and loyal and they are very rare. Murong Xue was prepared to bring it back to the Marquis’ Mansion and use it as a guard dog so that it no longer needed to live a life of fighting in the arena.

“This Tibetan mastiff is so powerful! All the other dogs that I thought was good had been bitten to death by it!” Murong Ye looked towards the mastiff, eyes filled with passion, “If you give it to me, I can use it to battle with the others and win back all the money that I have lost…”

Murong Xue halted suddenly. Murong Ye didn’t notice and almost knocked into her. He stumbled a few steps before he regained his balance and asked, puzzled, “What’s the matter, sister?”

Murong Xue didn’t answer but instead coldly stared straight ahead.

Murong Ye followed her gaze only to see dozens of servants carrying numerous trunks standing at the front of the Marquis’ Mansion. The trunks were made of incense wood, embellished with numerous round gold buttons; dignified yet not losing any of its splendor. One look and one would be able to tell that it was expensive. The items within were naturally even more precious.

A middle-aged man in dark blue robes walked out from the crowd towards the Marquis’ Mansion.

“Seneschal Wang!” Murong Ye softly exclaimed.

Upon hearing the exclamation, the middle-aged man stopped and looked over. Seeing that it was Murong Ye and Murong Xue, he clasped his hands together in salute, “Young Marquis, Miss Murong!”

Murong Xue’s father was originally the commander of the three armies. He was seriously injured when fighting in the front lines 10 years ago and died from his injuries. When her mother heard of the bad news, she was so depressed that she passed away not long after, leaving behind the four-year-old twins. As such, the Marquis is now fourteen-year-old Murong Ye.

Murong Ye hummed calmly and pointed towards the long line of procession that was carrying trunks, and asked, puzzled, “Seneschal Wang, what are you doing?”

Seneschal Wang lightly smiled, “Your Honor, I have been ordered by his highness to bring the bride price and negotiate a day to marry Miss Murong!”

Murong Ye’s eyes brightened. His sister was going to get married; that’s good news, although, “My sister is to be Prince Jing’s wife. Ye Yichen should personally deliver the bride price. Whydidhe let you bring it? Also, in accordance to the traditions of the Princess, the bride price should be 120 trunks, why did you only bring 64? The Prince Jing Household is a Prince’s household, and Prince Jing had just delivered war achievements, he should not be lacking in money, should he?
