Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Lady Du picked up the ginseng soup, took a sip carefully, then said unhurriedly, “A maidservant just brought the news, saying the betrothal gifts Murong Xue having sentback were all returned…”

Murong Rou’s eyes shone with surprise, “So you mean…”

“Murong Xue has made up her mind to cancel the engagement, while Prince Jing wouldn’t agree. While they are contradictory, we could take advantage of it to let Qingyan marry into Prince Jing Mansion in place of Murong Xue.” Lady Du said that word by word, with kind of cattiness flashing in her eyes.

“It…It’s not appropriate.” Murong Rou frowned, “After all Qingyang’s surname is Song, not Murong. She is not a lineal daughter of the Marquis Mansion…”

Madam Du disapproved, “They are both princesses of the first wife and her sister. They are cousins. What’s the big deal?”

“If Old Prince Jing doesn’t agree, then we will make him do…”Madam Du whispered, with kind of craftiness flashing in her eyes.

On seeing her mother talk like that, Murong Rou frowned. It had been tens of years of the internal strife inside the harem. She was quite clear what her mother pointed to, “That…is obscene. What if Qingyan fails to be to the first wife even if she pays her reputation?”

Madam Du pulled her face and glared at her, “The first wife? Are you daydreaming? Ye Yichen already has someone on his mind. The reason why Murong Xue is so determined to end their engagement is just because he wanted to degrade Murong Xue to a concubine to make room for his beloved one. Even if Qingyan married into the Prince Jing Mansion, she can only be a concubine. And if she covets the position of the first wife, she even wouldn’t know how she died…”

Murong lost her tongue for words. Before her eyes were all those scenes that how Ye Yichen defended Qin Yuyan and his cruel and iron means, which made her chill. She almost forgot the fact that Qingyan only could be a concubine if she married Prince Jing.

Ye Yichen had a noble identity, was capable and welded the scepter. Being his concubine was even better than other noble family’s first wife.

Besides, Qingyan and Ye Yichen had been engaged. However vicious Tianwen’s second wife was, after Qingyan married into Prince Jing Mansion, she wouldn’t make trouble for Qingyan then. Also, Qingyan wouldn’t be far too inferior to Qin Yuyan . Double benefits then…

Seeing her satisfying expression, Madam Du nodded, smiling, “After Qingyan marries into Prince Jing Mansion, Prince Jing will be our powerful support. At that time, we could do anything we wanted to Murong Xue…And Jian’er will be the real master of the Marquis Mansion…And maybe you will have a chance to become the lady of Wu’an Mansion again…”

Bam! Song Qingyan pushed the door open very hard. She said with great anger, “Mother, grandmother, I won’t want to marry Prince Jing…”

Madam Du was surprised, “But why?” So many girls out there were drooling about the position as Prince Jing’s concubine.

“Because…I like Prince Ouyang!” Song Qingyang yelled out loud, with her delicate face blushing immediately.

Madam Du frowned, “But Ouyang Shaochen’s thoughts are all on Murong Xue. And there’s no such engagement binding you two together. It is vain to like him. He will never marry you as his concubine…”

“Then I will try to make him like me!” Song Qingyan said so seriously, and shyly, “Even if he doesn’t like me, I will try all I can to be his concubine…”

Madam Du hummed, “Murong Xue also likes Ouyang Shaochen. You’ve seen what she is capable of. As long as she is with him, you will never stand a chance to be his concubine…”

Song Qingyan looked quite anxious, “I can figure out a method to get Murong Xue away from him…”
