Chapter 30 – Exceeding Expectations

Right now, it was unknown whether or not the two thousand taels of gold had already been snatched away. Furthermore, she might have been beaten up by her relatives in the process.

His eyes flashed as he imagined Ning Xuemo being beaten down pathetically, and his heart felt a bit better.

It was him who proposed annulling the engagement and dumped her. At that time, she could only recover her dignity because of a strong backer, but maybe she harboured a lot of regret in her heart at this moment…

He drank another cup of wine, not knowing that those thoughts and reality were drastically different.

“My prince!” The surroundings were dark, and the shadow guard he sent to observe Ning Xuemo soundlessly appeared before him, prostrating himself on the ground.

“How is it?” Ji Yunhao inquired. He felt that the shadow guard would bring him good news.

The shadow guard looked hesitantly at the three concubines.

“They are not outsiders, just speak.” Ji Yunhao planned to let his three concubines hear how wretched that damned girl’s situation was.

The prince’s word was his law; hence, the shadow guard merely paused before disclosing the events that occurred at the Marquis’s House. His memory was amazing and he recited what happened word for word, painting a vivid picture of the events that transpired.

The more Ji Yunhao heard, the blacker his face became. Not waiting for the shadow guard to finish, he slammed his palm down a few times. “You’re saying that she knows martial arts?! Those relatives of hers couldn’t rein her in?! But were instead taught a lesson by her?”

“Yes! Her movements were very weird but effective. This one has never seen those movements before…”

Ji Yunhao’s face sank as he thought back to the scene in the square when Ning Xuemo somehow avoided his move to seal her acupoints. Now, he wasn’t sure whether her movements had been made intentionally or unintentionally.

Could it be that her trash physique was all nonsense? Had she been hiding her true abilities all along? It shouldn’t be so, right? The psychokinesis-testing crystal ball had never been wrong before!

His heart was like a ball of fire. With a ‘pa!’ sound, his fingers crushed the wine cup.

That shadow guard hesitated, as if he had more to say.
