Chapter 77 – First Clash The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

Murong Jian’s gaze turned fierce and he looked at Murong Xue, “Xue, what did you do?”

“I have had many fights with step grandmother, every time when she’s angry, she will curse me in her sleep.” Murong Xue replied as a matter-of-a-factly.

The passers-by looked at her with pity. They lived under the same roof, it was impossible to not have any conflict. Madam Du should just reveal her dissatisfactions of her in person instead of cursing her in her sleep. What a petty old woman she is!

Murong Jian’s face darkened to a murderous shade, he asked, “Your step grandmother wasn’t beaten by you?”

“If I said no, would you believe?” Murong Xue looked at his side-eyed, her expression full of scorn, “If you do not believe me, why would you ask me again? Why don’t you wait till step grandmother is awake to question her, then you would know the truth!”

Murong Xue looked innocent, which puzzled Murong Jian greatly. He then turned and walked towards the Zhen Country Palace.

The wind carried his icy command, “Go to the government official’s building and tell them that the Zhen Country Palace’s owner has been beaten very badly, ask Lin to arrest the culprit…..”

Murong Xue snickered, he had said that to frighten her. But no matter, if Du were to name her guilty, she would tell the truth of Du hiring assassins to kill her. In the end, she would be the one in more trouble!

Du was hurt in the early morning but she was discovered in the evening of the same day, Murong Xue estimated that she wouldn’t die. It was true that evil people lived longer than good people, she was the ultimate proof…….

“Sister!” Murong Ye cried out, his eyes were filled with worry and surprise: Step grandmother had always disliked them both, she often gave his sister trouble. It was possible that his sister had been angered to the point that she had beaten her……..

Murong Xue replied casually, “Don’t worry, I will be alright…”

“Are you really twins? Why do you not look alike at all?” Murong Ji looked at Murong Xue with an air of arrogance and then turned to look at Murong Ye, mocking them.

Murong Xue’s expression darkened. She was in no mood to talk to Murong Ji but he was like a plaster, glued to them. Since he was so annoying and pompous, Murong Xue needn’t be polite to him either: “One of us looks like our dad, the other looks like our mum, which is why we don’t look alike. Unlike you, you don’t really look like your dad or your mum……..”

Murong Ji’s face flushed with anger.

“I look like my uncle, haven’t you heard?”

“Oh, really? Everyone knows that the official’s eldest son died drowning, your 14 year-old self looks like him when he was 5, it’s amazing……” Murong Xue glanced at him in a scornful manner.

Murong Ji was ablaze with anger, “I look more like my grandfather…….uncle is my grandfather’s son………so of course he would look very much like my grandfather…..that is why I look like my uncle too…….”

Cai Jin coughed aloud a few times, interrupting their taunting, “Young master, Madam is very badly injured, it will be good if you went to visit her too.”

“Alright, let’s go. Ignore these 2 boring people!” Murong Ji turned smugly and walked towards the Zhen Country Palace.

“Brother, let’s go home too.” Murong Xue said: “Demons” and “monsters” had arrived at the palace, the 2 owners of it naturally should return to it too.

“Alright.” Murong Ye nodded.

“Where is Uncle Hui?” Murong Xue asked, looking around but she failed to spot him.

Uncle Hui had accompanied Murong Ye to the army camp. Since Murong Ye was here, he should have returned too.

“He has gone to prepare the necessities for joining the army.” Murong Ye answered.
