Chapter 47 – First Deception The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

er: second

shaoye: young master

A piercing panicked voice travelled to her ears, Murong Xue stopped what she was doing and laughed to herself, she should have known this about her brother.

Murong Ye would not enjoy the birthday celebration peacefully, but she did not expect things to escalate this quick, he got into this trouble not even one hour after his departure. Indeed, Murong Rou could not wait any longer.

She understood undoubtedly that she being sick could be excused from the celebration. Murong Ye was the son of Zhen Manor and the nephew of the Murong Rou, his presence was crucial no matter what. He must have tried to protect himself from Murong Rou’s setup.

Murong Xue turned to look at the person, “what happened? Tell me.”

The messenger was Murong Ye’s steward, Feng Tao, based on his looks; she guessed she was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was panting hard from the running, “My lady… Master gambled with er Song shaoye… And he lost…”

Murong Ye was young, thus his skill might not be as good, and therefore it was normal for him to lose in gambling, “How much did he lose?”

“Hundred Thousand!”

“What?” Murong Xue was startled. Murong Ye did not usually lost this much when he was gambling, the most was only few thousands.

Feng Tuo said bitterly, “They made a lot of high bets, it was around five to six thousands per round, I told him to stop when I saw him losing but he wouldn’t listen, that’s why I came over to tell you…”

Murong Ye forgot about everything once he started gambling, such pampered child. He could still control his desire even if it’s Murong Rou’s trick.

With that amount of money, the normal citizens could not even finish them for centuries! Did he realize how difficult and how long it would take for them to earn back these twelve thousands?

Murong Xue was in fury, “where is Murong Ye now? Bring me to him!”

“Yes, ma’am!” Feng Tuo cheered up promptly, “please wait ma’am, I will go and prepare the carriage…”

“There’s no use in doing that, we go right now by using the short way, I want to reach the house of Wu An as soon as possible.” Murong Xue retorted. She was very well aware on Murong Ye’s addiction in gambling, Feng Tuo spent so much time coming back here to find her, he must had gambled a few more rounds, who knows he could be losing more money than before, if they wasted time on preparing carriage, that amount of a few hundred thousand that they had just collected would be vanished in the air just like that.

Murong Rou knew how much he loves to gamble and used this weakness to set him up, how smart.

“Noted!” Feng Tuo replied in confidence and left the mansion with Murong Xue. He guided her along the way and after a few turnings, finally they reached their destination.

The shimmery golden signboard above the door which wrote “The House of Wu An” could be seen under the ray of sunshine. The head of governments, people with big titles and important generals were walking in and out of the main door, laughing happily as they passed.

Lavish gifts were stacked up like a mountain, and the housekeeper ordered the maids to arrange the presents.
