Chapter 119: Returning the Betrothal Gifts The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

“Well…” Xu Tianyou felt a little awkward, “After all I am not the master here. It’s inappropriate for me to make the decision for them…”
“Then go ask Ye Yichen…” Murong Xue gave him a suggestion: Ye Yichen degrading her to a concubine in front of everyone was insulting her, so it was quite reasonable for her to cancel the engagement. She bet Ye Yichen dare not say no!
“But he is taking care of Old Prince Jing now. I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to talk to me.” Xu Tianyou smiled awkwardly.
“Really?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and said casually, “Then I’ll leave them here. You can tell Ye Yichen when he is free. He will ask the servants to take them back…” With guards watching outside the mansion, those boxes wouldn’t get lost.
“People come and go in the street. What if someone accidentally breaks things inside?” Xu Tianyou protested and then raised his voice, “Lady Murong, I suggest you take them back with you…”
“If someone breaks it, I will compensate…” Murong Xue interrupted him: Though every gift from Prince Jing was valuable, but the Marquis Mansion also had numerous pricey things. Even if all the stuff in those boxes were broken, she could still compensate them all…
Of course she wouldn’t leave the love token from Prince Jing Mansion here, because that was the eye of Prince Jing Mansion, only one in this world. If it was broken, nothing could replace it. Thus she would never cancel the engagement then…
“It’s late. Old Prince Jing is badly ill and Yichen is taking care of him. I guess you are also occupied. I won’t bother you then. Bye!” After saying these words, Murong Xue turned around and walked away…
A cool breeze was blowing. The dazzling light that the gold-rimmed buttons on the sandalwood boxes reflected under the sun suddenly woke Xu Tianyou up. He ran after Murong Xue, “Lady Murong, Lady Morong, wait…”
It were all the betrothal gifts Prince Jing had gifted Murong Xue in the boxes. Of course he couldn’t leave them out of the mansion. If so, it meant he failed Prince Jing.
Murong Xue turned a deaf ear to him and got into the cart and left.
“Lady Murong!” Xu Tianyou called her. And the moment he came before her cart, the guards of Marquis Mansion stopped him.
And the moment he was stopped, the cart had already set off and ran away along the flat and smooth road…
The moment the cart made a turn, Murong Xue pulled the curtain open and looked back, seeing that Xu Tianyou was standing there watching her cart. But when she saw those sandalwood boxes, raging fire was burning under her eyes again…
Murong Xue hummed: Those things belonged to Prince Jing Mansion. It was reasonable to give them back. She never wanted to take them back. So they had to accept them whether they wanted it or not…
The sun was rising higher and higher. After coming back home, Murong Xue took a walk on the bluestone road in the mansion, with her lips curled at a perfect angle: She left the betrothal gifts at Prince Jing Mansion, which meant that the engagement was half canceled already…
After she found an appropriate chance to exchange the love tokens with Ye Yichen, she would get rid of him once for all and become free again. For all her rest life she wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Some harsh sound was heard in the air!
