Jiang Yifan looked at her with a complicated expression. Xia Muqing’s attitude towards Ye Qingxuan had changed. Did something happen when he wasn’t around?

He didn’t want to be enemies with Xia Muqing, but he had to avenge the Jiang family.

The teacup in his hand cracked with his grip. He rubbed it twice and said, “Sister, I think this cup is quite pretty. Can you give it to me?”

Xia Muqing naturally nodded in agreement. It was merely a cup.

Jiang Yifan bade her farewell and crushed the cup in his hand the moment he stepped out of the room. The broken pieces of the cup cut his palm, and blood dripped and fell to the ground.

When the little phoenix saw him, it cried out in panic and flapped its wings frantically. It wanted to look for Xia Muqing to treat his wound.

Jiang Yifan immediately used his other hand to stop it. “I’m fine. Let’s go back.”

The phoenix felt that he seemed a little different. It was a little afraid and didn’t dare to move. It only shrunk back into his palm.

Noticing that the phoenix was trembling, Jiang Yifan smiled. “I’m really fine. I’ll just bandage it myself later.”

Seeing that he was behaving as usual, the little phoenix flapped its wings and landed on its shoulder out of habit.

Jiang Yifan listened to the chatter of the phoenix, but he didn’t feel any joy. His heart was filled with hatred. The lives of his father, mother, brother, and the hundred people from the Jiang clan ten years ago flashed across his eyes.

Ye Qingxuan…

He mumbled the name, wishing he could kill him now. But he couldn’t. He was too weak. He had to think of a comprehensive plan before he could act.

The fastest way was to use Xia Muqing, but he didn’t want to use her. Even if it took him more time and effort, he didn’t want to lose his sister. Xia Muqing was the person closest to him in this world.

…

Ye Qingxuan was a little surprised to receive Xia Muqing’s invitation. He didn’t expect her to invite him.

The next day, he arrived at the Xia residence early. Since Xia Jingtian wasn’t around, Ruan Yu came to welcome him.

Ruan Yu led him into the main hall and kept talking about Xia Churan. Ye Qingxuan grew impatient and asked, “Where’s Qing’er?”

With a smile, Ruan Yu said, “I already called for her. That child probably hasn’t woken up yet.”

She had deliberately said something bad about Xia Muqing.

Ye Qingxuan continued to wait. However, Xia Muqing didn’t appear. Instead, Xia Churan did.

Xia Churan walked in to take a look at Ye Qingxuan, and admiration flashed across her eyes. It was rumored that King Zhennan was a ferocious man. If not for the few times they had met, she wouldn’t have believed that he was so handsome. And this man would be hers soon.

Xia Churan bowed and said, “Welcome, King Zhennan.”

When Ye Qingxuan saw her, he frowned and said without asking her to stand up, “I think I’ll wait for Qing’er in her courtyard.”

Xia Churan bit her lip, feeling very indignant. In what way was she inferior to Xia Muqing?

She stood up and said, “Sister asked me to accompany Your Highness.”

Ye Qingxuan frowned even more and asked, “She asked you to come?”

Xia Churan nodded and asked in a panic, “Didn’t… she tell you?”

Ye Qingxuan had no idea what Xia Muqing was up to and was about to look for her.

Coincidentally, Xia Muqing walked in from afar. “Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

When Ye Qingxuan saw Xia Muqing again, his expression clearly changed. He smiled and said, “You’re the first person who invited me and made me wait.”

Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows. “Is Your Highness blaming me?”

“Of course not. Why would I blame you?”
