The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady
CHAPTER 8 Teaching Cousins a Lesson

“What martial arts? I just saw too many sparring guards and took a few moves! ”Murong Xue carefully said, her eyes flashing uncomfortably. 

Being reborn is a story that is too hard to believe. If that had not happened to him, he would definitely not believe it either, not to mention the fourteen-year-old Murong Ye. If he were to tell the truth, Murong Ye might think that he had been bewitched. He better keep that secret to himself. 

"really?" Murong Ye frowned, clearly not believing the one word he said.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Seeing that Murong Ye wanted to continue on this topic, Murong Xue quickly said, "It's too late. I'll take a Tibetan mastiff to bathe. It's so dirty that it's definitely uncomfortable. ” 

After hearing the two words - the Tibetan mastiff - he immediately forgot about his suspicions and looked towards the Tibetan mastiff, his eyes shining,“ Because you don't feel too good, sister, sister, You shouldn't be working too hard. Leave this type of manual worker to me. " 

Murong Xue smiled," I'll ask the waiter to wash, instead of doing it yourself, what hard work could there possibly be? ”

Murong Ye shook his head disapprovingly, “His mastiff feathers are so tangled that you don't even know the original color. Must be really dirty. The servants in your house are all very thin, they will not have enough strength; they probably won't even be able to wash before dark. You'd better hand the dog over to me and I'll ask the male servant to wash it clean before returning it to you. " 

Since his brother treated the Tibetan mastiff so valuable, and refused to lend it to him, he would establish a good relationship with the dog. And then when his sister didn't notice, he would take it out secretly; that was enough to build up his reputation.

"All right then!" Murong Xue 'enggan' nodded, and 'grudgingly' placed the Tibetan mastiff into Murong Ye's arm and carefully ordered it, '' Its fur had tied so that it told the servants to be careful when they washed it. Don't pull the fur.. ” 

“ I know, I know! ”Murong Ye nodded his head and quickly walked away the dog; the Tibetan Mastiff is a rare and powerful dog and the future Lord of his Treasures. Of course he would instruct the servants to be careful. 

After walking for a while, he stopped and turned to look at Murong Xue. Under her curious gaze, she asked doubtfully, “Suster, I did not ask for your opinion before I decided to cancel your engagement. You don't blame me, do you? ”

This year, she spent less time at home, and only saw her sister a few times. But he knew very well that his sister was very fond of Ye Yichen. 

"Of course not," Murong Xue laughed softly and carelessly saying, "When Ye Yichen lowered me into a concubine during the welcoming party, I already raised the cancellation. His Highness did not oppose him and actually ordered Old Prince Jing to come to the Capital to discuss matters regarding annulment ... 

"really?" Murong Ye's eyes brightened, "You don't like Ye Yichen anymore?" 

Murong Xue sniffed, "Like a terrible person does not deserve my affection. "

"That's absolutely right!" Murong Ye nodded in agreement, "Ye Yichen doesn't have you in her heart and eyes. He's not the best man for you. It is absolutely right to take the initiative to cancel the engagement and break off your relationship with him! ” 

“ Guk guk! ”The little Tibetan Mastiff saw that the two people were talking without caring about others and could not help but bark. 

Murong Ye looked at it happily and said, “Can't wait, right? Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower! ” 

Seeing Murong Ye disappear around the corner, Murong Xue followed the bluestone path and walked leisurely. From afar, he heard a bell-like laughter twinkling. He raised his eyebrows and followed the voice towards the main courtyard.

Stepping into the courtyard, he saw a group of maids and housekeepers standing in front of the west wing. Each of them held a smooth ebony wooden box. Within the boxes were sapphire hairpins, ruby earrings, jasper bracelets, and various other elegant jewels; each of them was extremely valuable. 

A young girl in a pink skirt fluttered here and there among the delicate jewels, wearing this and that. Her smile was brighter than flowers. 

After hearing a cold voice, the maids and housemaids turned around and casually bowed, "Young Lady!"

The girl in pink, Song Qingyan, gave her a look and carelessly said, “Sepupu is back. Grandma noticed that I was wearing too plain so she decided to give me some jewelry and let me pick. ” 

The grandmother she called was not Murong Xue's real grandmother, but her step-grandmother. She had given birth to a pair of brothers and sisters, Murong Jian and Murong Rou. The original Marquis Murong Yue was born by his real wife. 

Song Qingyan was the eldest daughter of the wife of the Wu An Marquis Household and was the only daughter of Murong Rou. So he was greatly pampered by the Marquis' widow. Every time she visited the Mansion, she would dress modestly and when she returned, she would be well decorated and full of delicate jewelry.

Murong Xue scoffed internally and slowly said, “If Grandma gives you something, you should choose from Grandma's treasure. Why did you choose from my mother's dowry? '' 

Song Qingyan froze in the middle while wearing earrings and frowned. Before, when he visited the Mansion, he had always taken jewelry from here and Murong Xue had never said anything. Today, he had actually mercilessly asked her, what's wrong with her? “Your mother is my aunt. It's not too much for him to give me a few pieces of jewelry right? ” 

“ If my mother personally says that she gave it to you, it is called a gift. Taking jewelry without my mother's permission is called theft and robbery.

At the last few words, Murong Xue's voice grew heavier and her tone turned into a merciless sneer. Song Qingyan blushed and looked at him, “Your mother has been dead for ten years, how should I talk to her? Murong Xue, that's enough, not too much. ” 

Murong Xue's face darkened and she coldly said,“ My mother's jewelry was stolen by someone else. I just asked a question and it was considered too much? Then wouldn't it be even worse if you as the noble princess bowed to steal someone else's jewelry? ” 

“ I did not steal anything, ”Song Qingyan said ferociously,“ I took the key and unlocked it and openly took out the jewelry. “ 

Murong Xue's mouth was slightly curved - she was just waiting for him to say that. "Who is the keeper of the treasury key?"

"It's me!" A thirty year old virgin stood out, not a single piece of her hair was out of place. Her face was clean but her gaze was dark; one look and one would be able to tell that she was a sharp woman. 

"Someone, drag him and hit him a hundred times with a paddle, then sell him!" Murong Xue ordered harshly. 

The old maid was startled and shouted in surprise, "Young Miss, what have I done wrong?" Murong Xue was very gentle and never got angry at the servants. Why was he so fierce today, and even wanted to punish him and sell him?

“When my mother gives you those keys, it is asking you to keep the items in the treasury, not to give you the treasury. You do not ask for the master's permission before opening up finances in person. It was considered 'oppressing master'. Shouldn't you be sold? ” 

The original person was kind, resulting in some opportunistic officers forgetting who the real owner of this treasury was. He didn't mind helping to remind them. 

Song Qingyan's face turned white. The old servant had opened the treasury so Murong Xue ordered the punishment with oars and sold. Murong Xue looked like she was punishing an old maid but the truth was giving her a slap.

Like 'killing chickens to warn the monkeys', and giving a lopsided accusation, he had lost and yet he was unable to find a reason to rebuke. The way Murong Xue was truly expert and hateful. 

The old maid searched for help only to see the maids and other housemaids bow their heads, afraid to even breathe too hard for fear of Murong Xue's anger. 

Since no one dared to help him, he could only save himself. The old maid gritted her teeth and loudly declared, "I want to tell the Young Madam that I obeyed the Empress Dowager's order to open the treasury ..."
