THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 54 – Gifts according to his abilities

“Nona Murong, that's a good idea.” Ye Tian Qi said when he heard of an idea that could solve the disaster.

“Thank you for the compliment, Fourth Prince.” said Murong Xue, with a sweet smile on his face.

Shu Nan Xiang looked down. He was angry and clenched his hands tightly behind his sleeves. Although he himself did not believe it, he could not deny that Murong Xue had proposed a brilliant idea. Murong Xue's idea could solve the root of the problem, which was definitely more mature and effective than his idea…

“I will return to the palace now and tell my father, the Emperor, about Miss Murong's idea. He will definitely repay you according to your ability!” Ye Tian Qi looked at Murong Xue in awe and walked out quickly.

Shu Nan Xiang recovered from his thoughts as he smelled Long Yan's scent on Ye Tian Qi, and he raised his head, “A very brilliant idea..

“Or what do you think? Miss Shu.” Murong Xue raised the corner of her mouth.

“How do you get such an idea?” Shu Nan Xiang looked at Murong Xue attentively, he wanted to observe her reaction.

“When I was young, I saw gardeners making small ditches to drain excess water into the pond beside the garden. That's how I got the idea.” Murong Xue only told him the reason. That was the solution to the flood in the twenty-first century, it would definitely be useful in ancient times.

"Certainly that?" Shu Nan Xiang did not believe him completely.

“As much as you believe or not. It's late and I'll be back now, sorry, Miss Shu.” Murong Xue was too lazy to argue with Shu Nan Xiang, she pushed Shu Nan Xiang away and walked out.

Shu Nan Xiang almost fell down and took two steps back clumsily. He saw a white figure move forward, it was Ouyang Shao Chen who was walking behind Murong Xue. He was undeniably graceful and handsome. Unfortunately, he did not look at her, even once.

Shu Nan Xiang's face darkened, he stared at Murong Xue's back from a distance, his eyes filled with anger. It was fortunate for him to think of this brilliant idea, there was nothing to be proud of. May the Emperor find flaws in his idea and execute it immediately.

After 2 hours, a eunuch came to the Zhen Residence with an imperial edict.

“Emperor has stated that – Murong Xue, the first daughter of the Zhen House, who is indeed intelligent, has resolved the concerns of the ministers of the Royal Palace and commoners by proposing a brilliant flood management plan. Therefore, she is appreciated and her efforts are highly appreciated!”

“Life Emperor !” Murong Xue exclaimed and went to accept the imperial edict.

Eunuch Zhao handed over the imperial edict to Murong Xue. He then smiled and pointed behind him, “Congratulations, Miss Murong, this is the gift that the Emperor gave you.”

Murong Xue looked in the direction she pointed. He saw more than 10 maids lined up in a straight line holding large trays containing gold, jewels, silk, satin and more. It was an impressive sight.

There are so many, the Emperor is indeed a generous person, “Thank you so much to the Emperor !”

“ Eunuch Zhao , please sit down and drink tea!” Murong Xue offered, smiling politely as she gave him the red packet. He then asked his servant to get a gift from the hand of his servant.

Eunuch Zhao gently squeezed the thick red packet and the smile on his face became wider, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Murong, but we have to return to the palace. Without further delay, let me excuse.”

“Hopefully your return journey is safe, Eunuch Zhao !”

Looking at the long list of gifts and all the gifts that took up half a page, Madam Du's face turned pale. It's just advice. Who knew it would bring such a big gift! Murong Xue's luck was incredible. He couldn't let her take it all.

“ The Emperor has given this gift to Zhen Manor, we should keep it in the vault. Servant, take all this to Yu Tang Palace!”

Madam Du, who had always been a greedy person, was not even willing to give up the gift that the Emperor had given Murong Xue. He's really greedy.

Murong Xue raised a defiant eyebrow towards Madam Du, as if she was mocking her actions, “ Step-grandmother, it was already written very clearly in the imperial decree that the Emperor had given me this gift, not to Zhen Manor. You are partially deaf and cannot hear clearly. But it's okay, the decree is here, you can see it closer!”

Murong Xue opened the golden scroll and held it in front of Madam Du: “You are not blind, surely you can understand the writing in it.”

Mistress Du's wrinkled face suddenly reddened, her lips quivering for a long time, looking for the right words to refute. His gaze was fixed on the tea on the table and he became bright: “Murong Xue, why didn't you tell me that you have a flood management plan?”

His son, Murong Jian had worked at Jing Zhou for 10 years and could not return to Jing City. Someone told him that it was because there were many displaced workers and Jian did not have any impressive skills. If he were to hand over this flood management plan, it would be a great reward for him, and perhaps he could be transferred to Jing City………

Murong Xue looked at him, “Why should I submit a flood management plan to you? You are not a court official.”

Du replied, “I can help you check it to find out if there are any flaws in it....”.

"Ah, really?" Murong Xue looked at him, “I think you will tell Uncle Jian about this plan and let him claim it as his own to be promoted.”.

After her thoughts were deciphered, Madam Du's face once again flushed red, her eyes nervously sweeping from side to side, “I'm not a despicable person, either, didn't you use that point of view to look at a godly woman like me!”

“What you claim should be true. There is no wall in the world that cannot be broken. Similarly, the Emperor was an intelligent person, if a loathsome person claimed the work of others as his own, he would definitely know of it. Until that time comes, that person will definitely face severe consequences Murong Xue laughed lightly, but what he said had penetrated deep into Madam Du's heart.

Seeing the contemptuous gaze from Murong Xue, he was suddenly filled with anger. She was his grandmother. Not only did he disrespect her, he also mocked and mocked her. It was embarrassing as well as angering! If he did not use his identity as an elder in this family to punish him, perhaps he would even forget his own surname!

Madam Du's eyes emitted an icy-cold look. Just as he was about to open his mouth to lecture her, he saw a long shadow approaching and jolted, “Prince Jing!”

Murong Xue followed his gaze and saw a purple-robed man standing at the entrance. His handsome young face showed a rough and brutal expression, it was really Ye Yichen.

“Is there anything you want, Prince Jing?”

"NO." Ye Yi Chen looked at Murong Xue, his eyes exuding a hint of riddles.

If he had no business here, then why would he come?

He was getting ready to break off his engagement with her. Before Old Jing Wang reached Jing City, he intended to minimize his contact with her.

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, she was about to announce that she was not welcome here when a gentle female voice sounded, “Yichen."
