Chapter 7 – A Thrashing

By admin | October 9, 201637 Comments

The Marquis Household is a noble family, not lacking in gold and silver. They don’t really care about Prince Jing’s bride price, but now, when the bride price is given, not only did Prince Jing not personally come, the amount is much less than what is normal. Prince Jing obviously does not respect his sister. If he accepts the bride price without a word, his sister will definitely become a laughing stock.

Listening to his reproach, Seneschal Wang showed disbelief, “His Highness had already announced to the Capital that he will be marrying Miss Murong as his concubine. Your Honor did not know?”

Murong Rong was startled, surprised and angry, “When did this happen?”

“Just at the welcome feast earlier. All the court officials have heard it. Your Honor actually has not heard of it? Did you not attend the feast?” Seneschal Wang said softly but teasingly.

Murong Ye gave an uncomfortable light cough. He had not been back to the Mansion for a few days. Although he knew that Ye Yichen had returned to the Capital victorious from the war, he did not know that the welcome feast was today…

“His Highness is forced to follow with this poorer plan to achieve peace between Qingyan and Mobei. Miss Murong has suffered because of it but I hope your Honor can be magnanimous enough to forgive.” The Prince’s Seneschal bowed deeply and respectfully towards Murong Ye to convey his apology.

Murong Ye stared at Seneschal Wang, a complicated expression flitted past his face. It was a while before he said, “Well, since your Prince does not like my sister, then let’s annul the engagement. There’s no need to act so falsely and humiliate my sister.”

Seneschal Wang froze, a look of surprise appeared. He didn’t think that this useless playboy would also suggest annulling the engagement after hearing his sister get demoted to concubine level…

“My sister is the Marquis’ Household’s wife-born daughter. Even though both our parents have passed away and she is sick and weakly, she is still of noble status. Any noble gentleman in the Capital will be willing to take her as his first wife. She has no need to lower her status and become someone’s concubine.”

Murong Ye’s determinated and strong voice travelled into his ears. Seneschal Wang smiled faintly. It seems that the Murong family has a strong backbone. It’s too bad their opponent is Prince Jing, “Your Honor, his Highness is also in a difficult position…”

Murong Ye waved his hand and interrupted his speech, looking coldly at him, “Ye Yichen is well-versed in the art of war. If he really likes my sister and wishes to marry her as first wife, he would have fought so hard that Mobei would have taken the initiative to surrender without daring to mention a single condition. Demoting my sister to a concubine for the sake of peace between both countries? You dare to give me such a cursory excuse? Do you think I am three years old?”

After being idle for so many years, he is still able to evaluate the situation clearly, hitting all the key points – Murong Ye is an exceptionally smart person. However, the marriage to Murong Xue is very important to the Prince. The Prince will definitely not allow Murong Ye to break it off.

“Your Honor, I am only obeying the Prince’s orders to give the bride price. Please do not make things difficult for us,” Seneschal Wang said softly, giving a look to the servants carrying the trunks.

The servants understood his signal and carried the trunks towards the front door of the Marquis’ Mansion; so quickly that the others could not react in time.

By the time Murong Ye realized, the first few servants of the possession had already carried the bride price into the Marquis’ Mansion. “What are you all doing?” Murong Ye thundered, angry and agitated. He ran quickly into the Mansion and fiercely kicked the trunks over.

The servants carrying the trunks did not expect that and the trunks between them flipped over onto the ground, spilling over the countless gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, and silk satin. Every one of those items were extremely valuable and blinded everyone’s eyes.

But Murong Ye did not even notice. He glared angrily that the servant and snapped, “This is the Marquis’ Mansion, not your Prince Jing Mansion. You all dare to force your way in? Who gave you the courage?”

The servant lowered their heads, silent, but unknown whether it was intentional or not, their eyes casted glances to the side!
