The Marquis Household was a noble family, not lacking in gold and silver. They did not care much about Prince Jing's bridal price, but now, when the bridal price was given, Prince Jing had not only come personally, the amount was much less than usual. Prince Jing obviously had no respect for his sister. If she received the dowry without a word, her sister would definitely become a laughingstock.
Listening to his reproach, Seneschal Wang showed his disbelief, “Your Majesty has announced to the Capital that he will marry Miss Murong as a concubine. Your Majesty doesn't know?”
Murong Rong was surprised, surprised and angry, “When did this happen?”
“Just at the welcoming party earlier. All the court officials have heard it. Your Majesty has actually never heard of it? Did you not attend the party?” Seneschal Wang softly said teasingly.
Murong Ye gave a mild, uncomfortable cough. He had not returned to the Mansion for several days. Although he knew that Ye Yichen had returned to the Capital as the victor of the war, he did not know that the welcoming party was today...
“Your Majesty was forced to follow this worse plan to achieve peace between Qingyan and Mobei. Miss Murong has suffered for it, but I hope Your Majesty is generous enough to forgive." Seneschal the Prince bowed deeply and respectfully towards Murong Ye apologizing.
Murong Ye looked at Seneschal Wang, a complicated expression flashed across his face. After a while before he said, “Alright, since your Prince doesn't like my sister, then let's cancel the engagement. No need to act so wrong and humiliate my sister.”
Seneschal Wang froze, a shocked expression appearing. He did not think that this useless playboy would also suggest canceling the engagement after hearing his sister was demoted to the level of concubine…
“My sister is a daughter born to the wife of the Marquis Household. Although both of our parents have died and he is sick and weak, but he is still a noble. Any noble man in the Capital would be willing to take her as his first wife. She doesn't need to lower her status and become someone's concubine.”
Murong Ye's firm and powerful voice entered his ears. Seneschal Wang smiled faintly. It seemed that the Murong family had a strong backbone. It was a pity that their opponent was Prince Jing, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is also in a difficult position ..."
Murong Ye waved his hand and interrupted his speech, looking at him coldly, “Ye Yichen is very skilled in the art of war. If she really liked my sister and wanted to marry her as the first wife, she would fight so hard that Mobei would take the initiative to give up without daring to mention a single condition. Lowering my sister's rank as a concubine for peace between the two countries? You dare to give me such a cursory excuse? Do you think I'm three years old?
After being idle for so many years, he was still able to evaluate the situation clearly, reaching all the important points – Murong Ye was a very smart person. However, the marriage with Murong Xue was very important to the Prince. The prince would definitely not let Murong Ye decide.
“Your Highness, I just obeyed the Prince's order to give the dowry. Please don't make things difficult for us, ” Seneschal Wang said gently, staring at the maids carrying the suitcases.
The servants understood his gesture and carried the suitcases towards the front door of the Marquis House, so quickly that the others could not react in time.
By the time Murong Ye realized it, the first few servants of the possession had brought the dowry to the Marquis Mansion. "What are you all doing?" Murong Ye was angry and agitated, and rumbled. He dashed swiftly into the Mansion and violently kicked the suitcases.
The servants carrying the suitcase did not expect it and the suitcase between them flipped to the ground, spilling countless gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, and silk satins. Every item was precious and blinded everyone's eyes.
But Murong Ye did not even notice it. He glared at the maid angrily and snapped, “This is the Marquis House, not your Prince Jing's House. You all dare to force your way in? Who gave you the courage?”
Murong Ye followed the direction of their gaze and looked at Seneschal Wang. The anger in his eyes lit up like fire. Seneschal Wang was Ye Yichen's closest aide. If he had asked the servants to force their way into the Marquis House, then it should be based on Ye Yichen's instructions.
“At first I thought that Ye Yichen was an honest man and a great hero. Even if we don't become relatives, we can still be friends. I never imagined that he was such a despicable person. Failing to abide by the marriage covenant, and worse, using her power to try and force my sister to be his concubine. How shameless!”
“Although my House is not as glorious as Prince Jing, but we will not allow others to trample on us recklessly. Seneschal Wang, go back and tell Ye Yichen. The Murong family no longer cared about him. Even if he wanted to take my sister to have his first wife now, we would not be interested anymore. We want to cancel the engagement!”
Even before getting married, he had already insulted his sister like that. After marriage, she will be worse off. If her sister were to marry into the Prince Jing Household, it would be like marrying into a monster nest; she might lose her life at any moment.
Everyone looked at him in shock. He dared to call Prince Jing despicable? How brave!
Murong Ye did not care to pay attention and he sharply ordered, "Dump this dirty stuff!"
"Yes sir!" The guards of the Marquis House hurriedly walked over, as if they had just woken up from a dream, retrieving the servants of Prince Jing and the bridal price the servants had brought and mercilessly driving them away.
Murong Ye watched the chaos and cries of Prince Jing's people, his anger gradually subsiding. He walked over and took Murong Xue's hand, stepping towards the Marquis Mansion, "Let's go in, lest these dirty people offend our eyes!"
"All right!" Murong Xue nodded happily.
Ye Yichen had ignored her wishes and forcefully tried to give the bride price to take her as a concubine. He, too, was fed up and ready to teach Seneschal Wang and his gang a lesson rudely. He never expected Murong Ye to act first and mercilessly against the arrogance of the people from the Prince Jing Household. He swept Prince Jing's face to the ground and defended her. There was no need for him to make a move, he would just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
Seeing Murong Ye and Murong Xue step into the Mansion and walk further, Seneschal Wang narrowed his sharp eyes. He had sent out a dowry, but Murong Ye did not accept it, he had completed the Prince's task. However, she had another thing to tell Murong Ye about, "Your Highness, the Prince will be here three days later to take Miss Murong as a concubine ..."
'Crack!' A piece of wood flew up and hit Seneschal Wang's mouth, making him swallow his words.
Seneschal Wang became furious, and coldly looked towards the dedicated figure in front of him. He spewed out a mouthful of blood; two white teeth mixed with blood, making him very visible.
The chaotic crowd froze and looked at each other. Who would dare slap Seneschal Wang's mouth? They quietly looked up only to see Murong Xue quietly standing a few meters away on the blue stone road, facing backwards. His cold voice carried the wind into everyone's ears, “Who would dare to make trouble in front of the Marquis Mansion's front door? All the guards of the Marquis Mansion, listen to my orders – anyone who tries to force their way into the Mansion, or speak nonsense in front of the main door of the Mansion, expel them with your swords regardless of their lives.
"Yes Mom!" The guards replied, and enthusiastically began to drive away the people from the Prince Jing's Residence. Chaos in front of the Mansion ensued.
Murong Ye ignored all that and looked at Murong Xue in surprise, “Sister, where did you learn martial arts from? Just by picking up a piece of wood and tossing it firmly, you have knocked out two teeth of Seneschal Wang. Seneschal Wang is known as a martial arts expert, and he didn't even manage to dodge your punches. When did you become so strong?”
