Chapter 11 – Paying respects to the dead on the day of marriage The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

Prince Jing Mansion

Xu Tianyou looked at the pile of expensive ebony trunks in the courtyard and raised his eyebrows – Murong Xue actually refused and returned the bride’s price, sweeping Prince Jing’s face to the ground. How arrogant!

His cold gaze swept towards the servants who were carrying the trunks and saw their bruised faces. He didn’t understand and asked, “You’ve only carried the bride’s price to the Marquis’ Mansion. How is it that you all are injured?”

“Answering your question Mr Xu, Murong Young Mistress was angry that the Prince is forcing the marriage and ordered the guards of Mansion to chase us away. We couldn’t avoid in time and were injured.” The servant quietly said respectfully.

Xu Tianyou narrowed his sharp eyes, “Is it Murong Xue that personally ordered that?”

“Yes, sir.” The servant nodded his head, paused and then carefully said, “Seneschal Wang also had 2 teeth knocked out by Murong Xue.

“Really?” Xu Tianyou looked towards Seneschal Wang in surprise only to see him tighten his lips without a word. His sullen face showed that the servant was telling the truth.

Seneschal Wang has been taking care of Prince Jing since young and is deeply trusted by Prince Jing. Prince Jing’s advisors and staff and even friends are all respectful towards Seneschal Wang. Murong Xue actually dared to hit him? How arrogant and stupid! However, “Murong Xue is well-known for being gentle. How is it that she’s suddenly become so aggressive? Unless she’s trying to attract his Highness’ attention?”

“I don’t think so!” Ye Yichen walked out of the study, wearing loose purple long robes, long and elegant. His gold and purple crown shining radiantly under the bright sunlight, complementing his unbelievably handsome appearance, “If Murong Xue was trying to attract my attention, she would only need to do things related to me. There wouldn’t be a need to cut off all five of your brother’s fingers.”

“What? Murong Xue cut off Tianan’s fingers!” Xu Tianyou was shocked and his face turned scarily black, “When did this happen?”

“Not long after the welcome feast ended, Murong Xue gambled with your brother in the coliseum. Your brother lost.” Ye Yichen lightly described.

Xu Tianyou gritted his teeth in anger after hearing about it. Fighting animals in the colosseum usually uses money and precious items, or silk cloth, or antiques and paintings as stakes. Murong Xue actually gambled on fingers and really chopped them off making Tianan handicapped. What a bully! “Your Highness, Murong Xue is only pretending to be kind and gentle. The real her is arrogant and ruthless. This type of person will not be a good match with you.”

“I know. I have never thought of letting her be the first wife,” Ye Yichen eyes were cold.

Upon hearing that, the shadows under Xu Tianyou’s eyes half dissipated. The Prince likes Princess Yuyuan; he was being overly worried. “Then what should we do about the wedding three days later?”

“No need to make it big but definitely need to make sure that everyone knows about it. Invite all court officials and their families to the wedding celebrations and prepare a pink small sedan chair to carry her in…” Ye Yichen instructed in an orderly fashion.

Xu Tianyou’s eyes turned brighter as he heard more and more. The Prince’s concubine can sit on a four-person wedding sedan chair into the Mansion. The Prince actually is giving her a pink small sedan chair – obviously he wants to humiliate her, bully her. That’s a real concubine and is the lowest of rank in the Prince’s Mansion.

Murong Xue is so arrogant and she refused to be concubine. Then the Prince will demote her to the lowest of concubines and step her into the mud, making her lose face in front of the all the court officials and suffer the disdain of the public. Let’s see how arrogant she can be then!

Murong Xue doesn’t know her abilities and she has time and again provoked Prince Jing. This is her best outcome. He can’t wait to see Murong Xue lowly like dirt, looking pathetic.

The sun was bright, birds were chirping and flowers were blooming.

Murong Xue washed up and ate breakfast before slowly walking out of Ruoxue Court.
