The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 133: Engagement Cancelled finally

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“A bet? Cancel the engagement? What is going on?” Old Prince Jing who was coming near the gate of the Lotus Courtyard suddenly stopped. He looked at his son with his eyebrows knitted.

At that time Imperial Doctor Sun diagnosed that his father’s heart arteries got severely injured and he was incurable. He had thought that Murong Xue was only a woman who had always stayed home. It was impossible that she could save his father. That was why he had agreed with the bet. But it turned out his father got poisoned, and Murong Xue happened to master excellent medical skills and save his father...

“Prince Jing, why don’t you speak? Are you gonna go back on your words?” Murong Xue looked at him with a faking smile.

“Of course not!” Ye Yichen denied it with a cold voice.

Actually he really wished he could breach it. But when he and Murong Xue made the bet, Ouyang Shaochen and Dongfang Li were there and heard every word of it.

Ouyang Shaochen was the son of Lord Freedom, with an encyclopedic mind, worldly known, while Dongfang Li was the seventh prince of Xi Liang Kingdom, with noble blood, paramount and powerful. With the two of them as Murong Xue’s witnesses, everyone would believe what Murong Xue said. So if he breached it, the whole world would disdain him and criticize him.

“Are you dumb?” Murong Xue looked at him with her eyebrows raised.

“But our engagement was arranged by our parents. So it is their decision to make. And if we cancel it here in a haste, it is a kind of disrespect to you.” Ye Yichen murmured, wearing kind of indescribable expression.

“Just canceling an engagement. The simpler, the better. Save those damn long rituals.” Speaking of which, Murong Xue took out a green jade pendant, “ This is the token your father has gifted my father. I’ve brought it with me, and the engagement gifts, New Year gifts and all gifts during all festivals should also be out of the gate now. Bring me the token my father has gifted you. After exchanging our tokens, our engagement is officially cancelled.”

No one could predict what would happen the next second and she was quite aware of that. Ye Yichen proposed to let the elders to cancel it, actually he just wanted to buy some time. She wouldn’t do as what he wanted. Today! Now! She must cancel it!

The green jade pendant looked glittering and translucent with classic and exquisite patterns carved on it, which made Ye Yichen’s eyes a little sour. He blinked and then whispered, “The token your father has gifted me...I can’t find it...”

Murong Xue was surprised, “You lost it?”

“No!” Ye Yichen shook his head, “I was too busy recently and I forget where I put it.”

Murong Xue sneered. The token represented the engagement. Before the wedding, both sides should keep it safe to show both sides’ bonafide about this marriage. Now Ye Yichen threw his token away and couldn’t find it now, which meant he had never taken this marriage seriously. To be more precise, he didn’t care about her at all.

Of course, he may not have lost it. He just didn’t want to cancel it...

Whatsoever, it didn’t matter now. Whether Ye Yichen really lost it or he was pretending, she didn’t care at all. The only thing on her mind was to cancel the engagement.

“I will send them to look for it now. And when I find it, we’re gonna cancel it...”

As sincere as Ye Yichen sounded, Murong Xue didn’t give it a shit: It ain’t an easy thing to find a palm-size token in such a huge mansion. Plus if those servants loaf on their job, maybe he couldn’t get it back in a few years. She has no time for that. She still wants to cancel it before she gets old.

“Just a token. It wouldn’t affect us.” Murong Xue said smilingly. Speaking of which, she already slipped her token into Ye Yichen’s hand, giving him no time to respond.

“Now I have given it back. All you need to do is write a pledge proving that we have officially cancelled the engagement. As for the token, you can ask your people to look for it when you have time. And when you find it, just sent it to me. And if you don’t, I wouldn’t mind actually.”

The jade pendant was gentle to touch. With a slice of its warmth infiltrated into the skin, making one refreshing...That was the eye of Prince Jing Mansion. It had been ten years before it was returned. But Ye Yichen didn’t feel cheered up at all, because its return represented that Murong Xue would draw a clear line with him, but not marry him...

“Prince Jing, write he pledge now.” Murong Xue urged him smilingly.

Goufeng and Wuhen came from nowhere, carrying a desk before Ye Yichen with the brush, ink stick, paper and ink stone prepared.

Ye Yichen looked grim-faced, thinking, “If she is so desperate to cancel their engagement, so be it!”

Then he picked up the wolf hair brush and started to write on the paper. In the turn of a hand, the pledge, including the signature, stamp, was all finished.

Murong Xue moved forward, took it up and carefully checked the content, and then said with satisfaction, “Thank you, my lord. From today now, our engagement is officially canceled, once for all. And there’s no relationship between us anymore!”

She declared it right after she got the pledge. She really brooked no delay to distance herself from him!

Ye Yichen’s face looked terribly scary, with kind of cold light flashing in his gloomy eyes.

But Murong Xue totally turned a blind eye to him. She carefully put the pledge in her pouch, with her lips curled up. She finally cancelled it and distanced herself from him! She no longer received any threat or bothering from him. What a big event! She had to celebrate...

While Murong Xue was immersed in the joys, suddenly a huge and sharp pain came out of her chest, like numerous fine needles pricking her heart, making her eyebrows knitted, and bean big beads of sweat seeping out of her forehead...

“Xue’er!” It was Ouyang Shaochen who first noticed it. He stretched out his arms and held her in his arms. He put the tip of his finger against her Rouyi acupoint. It was as cold as ice! He was startled, and mumbled, “It’s the Ice Poison!”

“Hm!” Murong Xue tried to nod with difficulty. The original master of this body had got the Ice Poison for ten years, which would attack at any time, without a sign or rules to follow...

“Someone! Get the Fire Lotus!” ordered the Old Prince Jing. He knew about her Ice Poison and had ever seen how it looked like when she got attacked by the poison...

Murong Xue forced a smile and said, “Thank you, my lord. There’s a lot of Earth Yang Grass at my mansion. You shouldn’t waste your Fire Lotus!” She had nothing to do with Prince Jing Mansion now, so she didn’t want to or scorn to ask for help from them.

She raised her head towards Ouyang Shaochen, and said torpidly, “Let’s go.”

“OK!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded. He held her up, used his Lightness Skill to fly over Prince Jing Mansion, and disappeared in the distance...
