THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 11 - Respect for the dead on the wedding day
Prince Jing's House
Xu Tianyou looked at the pile of expensive black wooden sticks in the courtyard and raised his eyebrows – Murong Xue completely refused and returned the bride price, sweeping Prince Jing's face to the ground. How arrogant!
His cold gaze swept over the servants carrying the suitcases and looked at their bruised faces. He did not understand and asked, “You only brought the bride dowry to the Marquis House. How could you all get hurt?”
“In answer to your question Mr. Xu, Young Madam Murong was angry that the Prince forced the wedding and ordered the Mansion guards to expel us. We can't dodge in time and get hurt.” The waiter quietly said respectfully.
Xu Tianyou narrowed his sharp eyes, "Did Murong Xue personally order that?"
"Yes sir." The waiter nodded his head, stopped and then carefully said, “Seneschal Wang also has 2 teeth pulled out by Murong Xue.
"really?" Xu Tianyou looked towards Seneschal Wang in surprise only to see him tighten his lips without a word. His pouting face showed that the waiter was telling the truth.
Seneschal Wang had been caring for Prince Jing since young and was very trusted by Prince Jing. The advisers and staff of Prince Jing and even friends all respected Seneschal Wang. Murong Xue actually dared to hit him? How arrogant and stupid! However, “Murong Xue is notoriously soft. How could he suddenly become so aggressive? Unless he's trying to attract His Majesty's attention?"
"I don't think so!" Ye Yichen walked out of the study, wearing a long purple robe that was loose, long and graceful. His golden crown and purple reflected brightly in the bright sunlight, complementing his extraordinarily handsome appearance, “If Murong Xue tries to catch my attention, he just needs to do things related to me. No need to cut off your brother's five fingers.”
"What's? Murong Xue cut Tianan's finger!” Xu Tianyou was startled and his face turned pitch-black, "When did this happen?"
“Not long after the welcoming party ended, Murong Xue gambled with your brother at the coliseum. Your sister lost.” Ye Yichen explained lightly.
Xu Tianyou gritted his teeth in anger after hearing that. Animal quarrels in the coliseum usually use money and valuables, or silk cloth, or antiques and paintings as stakes. Murong Xue actually gambled with a finger and actually cutting it made Tianan disabled. Really bullies! “Your Majesty, Murong Xue is only pretending to be kind and gentle. He is actually arrogant and cruel. This type of person will not fit.”
"I knew. I never thought of letting her be the first wife," Ye Yichen's eyes were cold.
After hearing that, the shadow under Xu Tianyou's eyes half disappeared. The prince liked Princess Yuyan, he was too worried. “Then what should we do about the wedding three days later?”
“No need to be big but definitely need to make sure that everyone knows. Invite all the palace officials and their families to the wedding celebration and prepare a small pink stretcher seat to bring him in.” Ye Yichen instructed in an orderly manner.
Xu Tianyou's eyes became brighter as he heard more and more. The Prince's concubine could sit on the four-man wedding stretcher seat to the Mansion. The prince actually gave her a small pink stretcher seat – obviously she wanted to humiliate him, bully him. It was a real concubine and was the lowest rank in the Prince's Palace.
Murong Xue was extremely arrogant and refused to be a concubine. The prince then lowered her to the lowest concubine and put her in the mud, making her lose face in front of all the palace officials and be insulted by the public. Let's see how arrogant he was then!
Murong Xue did not know of his abilities and repeatedly provoked Prince Jing. This is his best result. He couldn't wait to see Murong Xue look low like dirt and pathetic.
The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping and flowers were blooming.
For these three days, she lived in the treasury shop in the main yard auditing her mother's dowry. He just finished doing it at 9pm last night. Including three and a half suitcases of jewelry, no items were missing, she was finally able to rest and breathe fresh air.
Opening the door, he saw Murong Ye standing outside pacing around, his good looks with a slightly immature air filled with worry. "Brother, what's going on?"
Murong Ye stopped and looked at her confusedly before she gestured heavily, “Today is the day Ye Yichen prepares to make you her concubine. How can you not worry?”
“I will not enter Prince Jing's House as a concubine, what is there to worry about? Can he force me to marry you?” Murong Xue was not confused and walked past Murong Ye leisurely.
Murong Ye followed behind him closely. His eyes were like black jade showing unusual severity, “Ye Yichen had achieved a lot and was in control of the army. Even the Emperor's prince gave way to him. He could really force a marriage.
Murong Xue said lightly, “Even if she dares to force me to marry, we must give her a chance before she can succeed. If we are not at the Marquis House, even if he carries the wedding stretcher seat, he should return empty-handed.”
Murong Ye was stunned and looked at Murong Xue up close. She was wearing a white dress. His black hair was just tied loosely using a white jade pin. He didn't wear earrings or jade bracelets. The gentle breeze of picking up the hem of her dress made her seem like a fairy who would ride the wind. "Sister, why are you dressed like that?"
Murong Xue laughed lightly, “I will go to the ancestral cemetery to pray to our parents and grandfathers. Of course I wear simple clothes.”
"Aah!" Murong Ye only then realized that Hongxiu and Anxiang were each holding baskets containing paper taels, incense, and other items necessary for prayer.
"You wanna come?" Murong Xue asked softly.
"Yes yes!" Murong Xue nodded her head heavily. Ye Yichen was a strong man. He had also sent out invitations to everyone, inviting all the palace officials and their families to attend his mistress' party. Even if he could not marry his sister, he would definitely not give up so easily!
He was young and without much talent, and would not be able to fight Ye Yichen. But before nightfall, he will remain by his sister's side and protect her.
The Murong family's ancestral cemetery is located in the countryside and off the main road. After Murong Xue and Murong Ye got off the carriage along the side of the main road, they walked towards the ancestral cemetery.
Igniting the incense and putting it in front of the combined tomb of Murong Ye and his wife, Murong Xue started burning the banknotes. In their life together, in death they lay together, this couple truly loved. He could only hope that in the next life they would live a good life, in peace and happiness for the rest of their lives.
Murong Ye brought another basket to the Old Marquis' tombstone and prepared incense and prayer offerings. In the past, he would only come here to give offerings during festivals or new years. This was really the first one he came here with no purpose to make offerings and burn paper money…
"Ping ping ping ping!" A faint sound of battle entered their ears and interrupted Murong Ye's mind. He frowned, puzzled, and looked towards the source, "What happened?"
In order to protect his sister, he had brought twenty guards when they left the Mansion and requested that they guard the surrounding area. It was just peaceful and quiet. Why did the battle suddenly begin? The Rural Capital always had officers patrolling. He had never heard of bandits and robbers.
"There's nothing!" Following the cold answer, a young man stepped out of the forest. She was wearing an official wedding dress in red, her posture was tall like a plum tree, her handsome face was cool like ice, her eyes were sharp like stars. It was Prince Jing – Ye Yichen!
