Chapter 46 – Murong Rou’s Impish Tricks The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)
Merry Christmas everybody. Here is your Christmas present.
The citizens of Qing Yan appreciated their parents and elderly, filial is their life motto, moreover, they were all well-educated lads. The age of fifty-five is a good age for major celebration, this was the best time to rejoice in this special occasion and it could be a good stepping stone to regain reputation, the house of Wu An would surely organize it!
“Do you want to go to the dinner party?” Ouyang ShaoChen asked quietly.
“No, I won’t!” Murong Xue shook her head without hesitancy.
She recalled back the time she forced Murong Rou to return her the debt of almost a few hundred thousands, Murong Rou must have hated her so much right now, Murong Rou might be finding some evil ways to humiliate her at the dinner; probably she unwillingly gave her this invitation.
It was not that she feared her evil plans, she simply did not want to waste her time and efforts in this drama, “Sir, I think we should discuss about the Diyang grass beforehand.”
She only had two fire lotus seeds left in her hands, which required immediate remedy from Diyang grass.
Her eyes were filled with weariness, Ouyang Shaochen calmed the lady,”Diyang grass is a plant that needs constant sunlight, it usually grows on the mountain peak, and to climb up that mountain which it is on is not as easy as we thought.”
Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue walked side by side under the golden sunlight; they talked while planning their journey. What they did not know was that right in front of them, Shuang Xi was walking towards their directions, she saw two figures with white long robe and soft pink dress and was surprised with the sight, “Was that Ouyang Shaochen?” she thought.
As clean as a whistle, as handsome as paint, his gestures were so graceful and gentle, he looked just like how he was described in the city.
Wait a minute, rumours had it that he would never go near ladies, so how could he have walked so closely with the young miss?
In the house of Wu An
Murong Rou picked up the curtain and stepped into the main hall with the help of maids and maidens, she bowed slightly and wished, “How do you do, mother.”
Madam Song Lao sat beside the window, she was wearing a navy blue robe that had patterns of a golden age, her head had a head scarf of the same colour as her robe, her hands was rolling Buddha beads. She replied back to her daughter-in-law unresponsively, “Get up from your knees, how’s the birthday preparation so far?”
“In fact, I came here today to report back to you about this matter, this is a list of my arrangement on that day, here’s the menu list, please have a look at it.” Murong Rou stood up beamingly, and she handed over her menu lists to Madam Song Lao.
Madam Song Lao flipped open the brochures, she noticed that the arrangement made by her daughter-in-law was all more expensive than the past years, it consisted of singing operas, poetry reading, art exhibition and luxurious delicacies.
Her face lightened slightly, “We will go with your plan, but don’t ruin things up, be more meticulous.”
“Yes, madam.” Murong Rou replied politely.
Madam Song closed back the leaflets in her hands and spat, “you better prove to me what you’ve said, don’t repeat the same incident in Liu Jia Pu Zi and ruin the reputation of Wu An’s family.”
Greed is a common attribute in human beings, in order to take action on greed, you have to be wise not to get caught by others, but that was not the case for Murong Rou, she left a huge traces behind her and caused chaos.
She was already well-recognized for her materialistic character; she was always taking advantage of elderly people and the young children.
