Chapter 117: Going to Cancel the Engagemen The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)
“Urgh, the environment there is bad, furnishings bad, and food bad, I won’t go there.” Dongfang Li shook his head. And when he saw Ouyang Shaochen’s gloomy face, something flashed in his eyes,
“If I am not welcomed here, then I am going to Prince Jing Mansion. Although I only met Prince Jing and his father for once, as the seventh prince of Xi Liang, I believe they’ll be very pleased to let me in and…”
With his lips curled, Dongfang Li turned around and pretended to go.
“Wait!” Ouyang Shaochen stopped him. Any official who knew that he was the seventh prince of Xiliang Kingdom would be very pleased to let him in.
And only Xue’er could detoxify his Blood Poison and she had to do it for him every three days. If he lived in Prince Jing Mansion, then Xue’er had to go and out of there often…
“Someone! Bring the prince to the guest room in the southeast corner.”
“Southeast corner?” Dongfang Li squeezed his eyes and frowned lightly, “Ouyang Shaochen, as your honored guest, how could you let me stay in such a remote yard?”
“This is Lord of Freedom Mansion, not your Xi Liang Palace. There’s no place for you to choose. The guest room in there is already good enough for you. Sleep there or leave!” Ouyang Shaochen cast a glance at him and then strode away.
Watching the southeast corner, Dongfang Li smiled. He just came from there. Despite the high walls, he already had a picture of it. Though it was a bit remote, the environment there was quite good with grass and flowers. A good place for him to detoxify. He would tarry here and watch the show by the way.
Tomorrow Murong Xue was going to cancel the engagement. No one knew whether she could succeed or not.
The next morning, after the thin mist dispersed, the golden sunlight sprinkled the ground.
In the main room, the Old Prince Jing who had been insensible for the whole night slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that came into his eyes was Ye Yichen’s delicate but a little pale face. Ye Yichen looked exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes. Apparently he stayed up the whole night.
On seeing his father wake up, Ye Yichen felt much relieved, “Father, you are awake.”
The Old Prince Jing responded and then sat up. He heaved a sigh lightly while looking at his son’s tiring and pace face, “Yichen, it was me and your uncle Yue who arranged your engagement with Murong Xue. Now uncle Yue has passed away, you should take better care of his only left child. You can’t do such perfidious things. Murong Xue will be your wife. You should give up the plan of demoting her to a concubine…”
With his eyes darkened, Ye Yichen said in a low voice, “Murong Xue doesn’t want to be my wife at all. The only thing on her mind now is to cancel the engagement…”
“Shouldn’t you be blamed for this? If you hadn’t demoted her to a concubine to embarrass her in front of everyone, how would she draw a clear line with you?”
The Old Prince Jing scolded him and then glared at him, “You go to Marquis Mansion to apologize to Xue’er now and beg her to forgive you…”
“Father!” Ye Yichen wassurprised. As the prince, how could he go apologize to Murong Xue?
“Why are you staring at me?” The Old Prince Jing squirted at him and said word by word, “I am in charge of your engagement. No one can change it. Your wife would only be Murong Xue! Before you marry her, you could marry no one else…”
Ye Yichen pulled his face, saying nothing.
At this time a guard came in, “My lords, Princess Murong Xue from Marquis Mansion requests to see you.”
