The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

Chapter 61: Suffering the Consequences of One’s Actions

However, he also knew that with the Xia family’s power in the imperial court, it was impossible for him to monopolize the three daughters.

However, since the second daughter offered herself to him, it had nothing to do with him.

Prince Yu stood up and left, without any consideration for Xia Chuxing.

After Prince Yu departed, Xia Chuxing couldn’t help but sob silently.

She had a bad feeling.

After returning to the Xia residence, she didn’t dare to tell Ruan Yu the truth. She only said that Xia Muqing had escaped.

Ruan Yu was a bit disappointed, but she still comforted Xia Chuxing. “Don’t worry. I’ll think of some other way.”

Xia Chuxing nodded quickly.

Ruan Yu only assumed that she was disappointed, and didn’t think about anything else.

Unexpectedly, because of her hiding the truth, the situation couldn’t be resolved in the future.

Xia Muqing returned to King Zhennan’s manor and gazed at the jade pendant in her hand. It was round and shiny, and it felt warm to the touch.

Her mother wasn’t from a rich family, and on the contrary, she came from an ordinary family.

It was obvious that she wouldn’t possess a jade of this quality. So how did this piece of jade come about?

Xia Muqing, who was gazing blankly at the jade in her hand, didn’t notice Ye Qingxuan, who was getting closer.

“What are you thinking about?”

His sudden voice caused Xia Muqing to lose her grip on the jade and it fell to the ground and split into two.

Neither of them had expected this outcome.

Ye Qingxuan picked up the two halves of the jade and handed them to her. He raised his eyebrow and asked, “Why didn’t you grab it firmly?”

Xia Muqing snatched it from him and looked at him angrily.

He still had the cheek to ask? If he hadn’t scared her, would she have lost her grip?

Ye Qingxuan was taken aback. He couldn’t bring himself to apologize no matter what, and so he said awkwardly in the end. “I’ll compensate you.”

Xia Muqing immediately snapped, “This is the only thing my mother left for me. How are you going to compensate me!”

Ye Qingxuan frowned and turned to push the wheelchair away.

Xia Muqing pursed her lips and looked at the jade pendant in her hand, feeling a little awkward.

That was the most precious thing to “her”. She had ruined it.

Sigh!

Just as Xia Muqing sighed, she realized that something was amiss. She picked up the jade pendant and observed it carefully.

There was something wrong with the broken jade. It seemed as if it had been broken previously, and was pieced back together with some special material.

She took a pail of water and soaked the jade pendant inside. Under the reflection of the water, she could clearly tell that the edge of the jade pendant was different from the original color.

She tried to press the crack at the edge, and she managed to tear off a soft transparent substance.

Before this, it was impossible to tell that this substance was wrapped around the jade pendant. It was enough to reveal how successful the deception was.

She slowly tore off the transparent substance.

A brand new jade pendant appeared before her eyes.

The jade pendants were broken into two. After tearing off the material outside, they became two jade pendants of the same size. The two jade pendants were a pair and could be combined perfectly.

When it was combined, the jade pendant that was originally half the size of a palm, had now become average-sized.

When she looked at the two jade pendants separately, one presented a dragon and the other had a phoenix. After putting them together, it turned into an incomprehensible picture.

In short, this jade pendant was filled with mystery.

It seemed like the mother of this girl wasn’t an ordinary person.

Xia Muqing was curious.

…

It was time for the Xia family and Prince Yu to meet.

Prince Yu couldn’t wait and sent someone to rush them.

Xia Jingtian was determined to send Xia Chuxing.

Xia Chuxing had been crying in the room, and Ruan Yu had been trying her best to think of a solution.

Prince Yu’s men had already arrived at the Xia residence. Even the matchmaker from last time was waiting for the Xia family to hand her over.

Xia Chuxing cried and shouted that she wouldn’t marry him. Her voice made Ruan Yu and Xia Churan’s hearts ache.

Ruan Yu was in the front hall trying to stall for time when Xia Churan came to her room.

When Xia Chuxing saw her, she hurriedly held her hand and said, “Sister, I don’t want to marry. I don’t want to marry Prince Yu. Help me!”
