The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 116: Old Prince Jing Fainted

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Father, Yuyan is badly injured and at her last gasp. Though she is sober, I don’t know whether she can survive. So I have to check on her. I’ll come take the punishment later!” Speaking of which, Ye Yichen already turned around and ran back to the mansion.

“Bastard! You even disobey me for a woman!” Old Prince Jing was black with anger, with raging fire in his eyes.

Murong Xue blinked and then moved forward slowly, “My lord.”

The silvery sound soon dispelled the Old Prince Jing’s anger. He heaved a long sigh and looked at her with regret, “I should be blamed. I failed to discipline my son. But trust me. I nominated you as my daughter-in-law and I will only acknowledge you as the Empress Jing. I won’t let you be a concubine...”

“My lord, you take me wrong. I never wanted to be Empress Jing. Actually I’m here to cancel the engagement...”Murong Xue smiles gently, with unprecedented resolution in her cool eyes.

Old Prince Jing was surprised, “But why?”

When they were having the engagement that day, the eyes of the beautiful little girl were filled with all joys and excitement. She loved Yichen so much. She should try all she could to be his wife. But why would she cancel the engagement?

Murong Xue smiled slightly, then said, “Prince Jing and Princess Yuyan are made for each other. Our engagement would only be a burden to him. I shouldn’t stand in their way. It’ll only embarrass them. So I think the best thing for the three of us is to cancel the engagement...”

“Did Yichen force you to say that?” Old Prince Jing gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

“No. No...I mean what I say. I’m willing to cancel our engagement...”Murong Xue shook her head and said seriously.

“I’m really appreciated of your kindness and generosity. But that’s not love between us. Even if we get married, we will not be happy. So we should cancel the engagement and set each other free. He can find his love and I will also find mine someday...”

On hearing her sincere words, Old Prince Jing felt shocked but he didn’t show it.

A gust of wind brought kind of coldness. Murong Xue rolled up in her clothes subconsciously and looked at old Prince Jing blandly.

“It’s still early. How about we cancel it now? My lord, the love token and betrothal gifts, and all the gifts you sent to my place during all festivals, I’ve all placed them together. Later I’ll ask the servants to send them back. And you only need to give back the love token my father gifted you...”

Suddenly the old Prince Jing’s face turned pale, he spitted out a mouthful of blood and directly fell to the ground...

“My lord!” Murong Xue was surprised and tried to support him.

A garnet figure suddenly appeared and supported the Old Prince Jing ahead of her. He hit a few vital acupoints of the Old Prince Jing and quickly took out a pill and packed it into his mouth...

Looking at that charming face and skillful moves, Murong Xue raised her eyebrows. Hadn’t Ye Yichen gone back to take care of Qin Yuyan? Why did he come back?

Looking at her confusing face, Ye Yichen frowned and blamed her, “My father has an old disease. He has taken such a long way back to the capital. And before he has gone back home, you asked him to cancel the engagement already?”

Actually before Ye Yichen had gone far, he saw that Murong Xue walked before his father. He suddenly wanted to overhear what she would say to her father. So he came back without anyone noticing. He didn’t expect that Murong Xue had neither told him off nor blamed all those bad things he had done, but proposed to cancel the engagement instead...

“How would I know his lord’s old disease is so serious?” Murong Xue answered him back angrily. She just said the reason and expressed her determination, and the Old Prince Jing already couldn’t take it and relapsed...

It seemed the Old Prince Jing indeed wanted them to be together. Pity that they had no feelings for each other. So they would never be together...

Ye Yichen said with a cold voice, “My father is quite satisfied with the engagement. So don’t you

Murong Xue sneered, “If not, do you want me to be your concubine? You wish!”

Ye Yichen darkened his face and said word by word, “I can let you be my wife.”

“Then what? Prince Jing marries Princess Jing as the concubine, loving her and spoiling her, meanwhile leaving all the chores of the mansion to me? Then I’m like an extra taking up the position of the empress, and finally end up being locked in my harem for my whole life? Or you would send me somewhere else to perish? Or maybe grant me a bowl of poison to kill me?”

Murong Xue stared at Ye Yichen with her eyebrows raised, wearing a faking smile, making Ye Yichen a little uncomfortable, “So you think of me that way?”

“Isn’t that what you are capable of? Oh sorry...I forgot your father is still alive. He lives while I can live, as furnishings in the mansion. And when he dies, I’m gonna die with him...”

“Maybe you can say the feeble and sick Empress Jing died unfortunately since she is over sorrowed about the death of the elder. What a touching excuse! What a convincing reason...Then you can nominate Princess Qin as the empress saying the mansion shouldn’t do without a hostess. And then you and your new empress would grow old together...” Murong Xue was inferring the plot as if she had already seen everything through.

Ye Yichen’s face turned dark. He gritted his teeth while something was glittering in his eyes, “Murong Xue!”

Then Murong Xue came to herself. She forced a smile and said, “I said too much. Let’s cut to the chase. It is your thing that your father doesn’t allow you to marry Qin Yuyan as your wife. Don’t take me as your shield, or even sacrifice me for your love. I’m gonna cancel the engagement for sure.”

Speaking of which, Murong Xue turned around and strode away!

After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Shaochen walked to Murong Xue. He patted Murong Xue’s shoulder lightly, “It’s late. Let me walk you home.”

“OK!” Murong Xue nodded and then went away with him.

Looking at the two of them walking together, Ye Yichen got outraged. The flames of anger deep in his eyes weaved a name quickly: Murong Xue!

Dongfang Li looked at the furious Ye Yichen, then turned to the couple-like Ouyang Shaochen and Murong, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Huo Tong was confused, “My lord, are you OK?”

“Nothing!” Dongfang Li shook his head, still wearing that smile, “I just think we are here at the right time. A good show will be on.”
