Chapter 54 – Reward according to her merit The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

Looking at the lengthy gift list and all the rewards that took up half the space of the courtyard, Madam Du’s face turned pale. It was merely just a suggestion. Who knew it had carried such a huge reward! Murong Xue’s luck was really something. She just couldn’t let her take all of it.

“The Emperor has given the Zhen Manor these reward, we must store it in the vault. Servant, take all these to the Yu Tang Court!”

Madam Du, who was always the greedy person, wouldn’t even let go of the rewards in which the Emperor had awarded to Murong Xue. She really was avaricious.

Murong Xue raised a challenging brow towards Madam Du, as if she were ridiculing her actions: “Step grandmother, it’s written very clearing on the imperial edict that The Emperor had awarded me these rewards, not to Zhen Manor. You are partially deaf and am not able to hear clearly. But that is fine, the edict is right here, you can have a closer look at it!”

Murong Xue opened the golden scroll and held it in front of Madam Du: “You aren’t blind, surely you can understand the writings on it.”

Madam Du’s wrinkled face suddenly flushed red, her lips quivered for a long time, looking for the right words to argue with. Her gaze fell upon the tea on the table and she brightened: “Murong Xue, why did you not tell me you had the flood management plan?”

Her son, Murong Jian had been working in Jing Zhou for 10 years and couldn’t return to Jing City. Someone had told her that it was because there were many displaced workers and Jian didn’t have any impressive skills. If he were to submit this flood management plan, it would have been a big merit to him, and then maybe he could be transferred to Jing City………

Murong Xue looked at her, “Why should I hand over the flood management plan to you? You are not a court official.”

Du replied, “I could help you look through it to find out if there are any flaws in it…..”

“Oh really?” Murong Xue looked at her, “I thought you were going to tell Uncle Jian about this plan and let him claimed it as his own to get promoted….”

Having her thoughts deciphered, Madam Du’s face once again flushed bright red, her eyes nervously swept from side to side, “I am not a despicable person, don’t you use that perspective to view a righteous woman like me!”

“What you have claimed better be true. There isn’t a wall in this world that cannot be penetrated. Similarly, The Emperor is an intelligent man, if someone detestable were to claim other people’s work as their own, he would surely find out. Till then, that person would surely face severe consequences….” Murong Xue laughed lightly, but what she had said had penetrated deeply into Madam Du’s heart.

Looking at the contemptuous stare of Murong Xue, she was suddenly filled with rage. She was her grandmother. Not only did she not respect her, she had also ridiculed and mocked her. It was both humiliating and enraging! If she did not use her identity as an elder in this family to punish her, maybe she would even forget her own family name!

Madam Du’s eyes flashed an icy look. Just when she was about to open her mouth to lecture her, she saw a long shadow approaching and jolted: “Prince Jing!”

MuRong Xue followed her stare and saw a man with a purple robe standing at the entrance. His young handsome face wore a harsh, brutal expression, it really was Ye Yichen.

“Is there anything you want, Prince Jing?”

“No.” Ye Yi Chen looked at Murong Xue, his eyes flashed a shade of enigma.

If he hadn’t any business here, then why had he come?

She was getting ready to break off the engagement with him. Before the Old Jing Wang reaches Jing City, she intended to minimise her contact with him.

Murong Xue raised her brow, she was about to announce that he wasn’t welcomed here when a gentle female’s voice bore into the scene, “Yi Chen
