Chapter 319: He Kissed Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Eldest Princess, I’m sorry. No matter what, I didn’t educate my maidservant well,” Qu Yu said, shaking her head. She found it difficult to express her guilt with words. She failed to keep her maidservant in line and almost harmed the

Qu family and Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi smiled and said, “Qu Yu, it’s not your fault so don’t blame yourself.”

After a beat, Yu Yunxi continued to say, “There’s something I don’t understand.

You seem to dislike Qin Wencheng a lot. So why are you still tied to him?”

A hint of helplessness appeared on Qu Yu’s face when she heard these words. She replied, “Father and I have thought of many ways to break off the engagement. However, this engagement was set many years ago by the Emperor Emeritus on the two families’ behalf. We… naturally can’t easily go against the orders.”

‘Grandfather set the engagement?’

Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched. Only now did she know that her grandfather liked matchmaking people so much. Not only did her grandfather matchmake Qu Yu and Qin Wencheng, but he also matchmade her with the Third Prince of Beixiao.

Yu Yunxi said seriously, “If there’s a chance, I’ll talk to my maternal grandfather about this matter.”

Yu Yunxi could not bear to see a good person like Qu Yu being ruined by a scumbag like Qin Wencheng.

Unexpectedly, Qu Yu’s worried expression did not disappear when she heard Yu Yunxi’s words. On the contrary, she looked even more worried than before. She said, “Eldest Princess, I thank you for your kind intentions, but once the Emperor Emeritus has spoken, it’s impossible to take back his words.”

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. “Then, is there any other way?”

Qu Yu’s eyes flashed as she replied, “Perhaps… If I were given a chance to plead with the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus.”

“You mean…”

“To be honest with you, Eldest Princess, there has been a locust plague in Kongzhou recently, and the people are struggling to survive. My father has already spoken to the Emperor; he intends to bring troops there to deal with the disaster. I plan to go with him. If this matter goes smoothly, we’ll be rewarded by the Emperor. At that time, I’ll have a chance to break the engagement,” Qu Yu said earnestly.

“I can’t accept it,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head.

“Eldest Princess, I’ve heard my father mentioned Princess Changning before. When she was in the capital, many commoners were spared the torture of illnesses because of her. I really hope that such a thing will continue. Hence, I

want this shop to be put to good use…” Qu Yu said.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi still did not agree, Qu Yu took a deep breath before she continued to say, “To be honest, Eldest Princess, there’s a reason why this shop hasn’t been sold or rented for so long. I don’t know where Lady Qin heard that this shop is part of my dowry, but she wants it. Previously, the shop was rented out to someone who sold calligraphy and paintings, but due to interference from the Duke of Qin’s Residence, that person was driven away. Ever since then, no one dared to touch this shop at all…”

‘The Duke of Qin’s Residence is really disgusting!’

Yu Yunxi’s gaze became extremely cold after she heard Qu Yu’s words.

Qu Yu said stubbornly, “So, Eldest Princess, please accept this shop. Otherwise, I’ll remain kneeling.”

Yu Yunxi sighed lightly and helped Qu Yu up. She said, “Alright, I’ll open the medical hall here. However, I want to rent this place from you…”

After discussing the matter with Qu Yu, Yu Yunxi finally left the shop. She sighed in relief. She felt as though the burden on her shoulders had become a little lighter.

Suddenly, from the corners of her eyes, Yu Yunxi saw a tall figure following her. She frowned slightly and said, “You seem to be very free, King of Youshan. Why are you still following me?”

“So many people want the Eldest Princess’ life. How can I not follow you and protect you?” Feng Yili replied.

Feng Yili’s eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea at the same time. Yu

Yunxi’s heart could not help but skip a beat when she looked into his eyes.

“I’m not that weak. I can protect…”

Before Yu Yunxi could say the word ‘myself’ , Feng Yili suddenly moved to stand in front of her, blocking the light. In the next moment, he held her waist and leaned forward.

“King of Youshan, you..

Before Yu Yunxi could finish her words, her lips were sealed. When she felt the softness on her lips, her heart began to race.
