The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady - Chapter 171
Chapter 171: Reap What One Has Sown (3)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Murong Xue sneered in silence. This was how they deceived Yuan Fangfei into the pond. What a clever deceit!
Mrs. Zhou gnashed her teeth. This was just a lie she fabricated casually and told the maids. Yuan Fangfei actually believed it. How stupid was she!
“Mother, it’s getting late. Please excuse us. We’ll back our room. Please let the maids and nannies carry the water there.” Yuan Fangfei said smilingly and walked forward with Murong Ji being held in her hand. The handsome young man in her hand was thin and handsome. On a whim, she threw the young man into the air, caught him, and then repeated the movements several times.
The series of breathtaking moves made Murong Xue’s eyelids could not help jumping. It seemed that Yuan Fangfei really took Murong Ji as a toy and threw him up and down for playing!
Yuan Fangfei was tall and burly. In contrast, Murong Ji, who was thin, was like a child without resistance and could only be juggled in her hands…
Mrs. Zhou’s anger was burning. Her son Ji’er was a man and would become an indomitable general in the future. How could he be insulted by such a rude fool as Yuan Fangfei?
When Mrs. Zhou, whose eyes were harsh, was about to snap out a reprimand, Murong Jian quickly stopped her. The other side quietly winked at her. General Yuan was still here. They should not make a move…
General Yuan’s eyes had been fixed on Yuan Fangfei and Murong Ji. His daughter’s strong performance filled him with joy and he nodded repeatedly. His daughter was truly capable. She completely suppressed his son-in-law. In the future, his daughter would never come to grief when she married into the mansion…
“It’s getting late. I’m going home. Please choose a good day to send the dowry to the General Mansion.” General Yuan said smilingly, turned around and walked slowly toward the outside. His daughter’s life-long affair was finally resolved. The burden on his mind could also be put down and he could have a good sleep.
Looking at the figure of him walking away gradually, Mrs. Zhou’s eyes flickered. She exclaimed, “General Yuan, it is not safe for a girl to walk at night. Please wait for your daughter,” hoping General Yuan would leave with Yuan Fangfei and stop harming her Ji’er.
General Yuan just turned a deaf ear and did not look back, “Fangfei is good at martial arts. She will be safe even if she walks at deep night alone.” Yuan Fangfei was deeply rooted in his instruction. More than a dozen strong men’s besiege could not trap her. Hum, people who wanted to rob her were all abandoning their long lives.
Seeing General Yuan’s tall figure disappearing into the night, Murong Jian lowered his voice, “Prepare the dowry, tomorrow is an auspicious day, send the dowry…”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly turned around and looked at him in surprise, “You really let Ji’er marry that rude girl?!”
“Do we have a choice?” Murong Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, saying slowly, “General Yuan and Yuan Fangfei have both decided Ji’er. If we don’t take the initiative to send the dowry, they would definitely seek trouble for us!”
By then, if they deliberately smeared Ji’er and spread false rumors about him, wouldn’t he become a shameless villain who took advantage of some girl and was not responsible? When his infamy spread all over the capital, which lady would like to marry him?
Zhou’s silver teeth were gnashing harshly. “But Yuan Fangfei does not deserve a husband like Ji’er!” Ji’er and she standing together was like a flower inserting in a cow dung!
Murong Jian said casually, “It’s just an engagement, not a marriage. Why are you thinking about the things in the long run?”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly came to herself, “You mean…”
“Ji’er is only 13 years old, he would have to wait at least three or four years before getting married. In such a long time, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen…” Murong Jian said in a low voice, his corners of the mouth bent up with a strange smile!
Mrs. Zhou’s eyes lit up. Yes! As long as they did not get married, Ji’er’s marriage to Yuan Fangfei could be changed. The engagement was nothing to worry about, they could withdraw their marriage at any time, just like Prince Jing and Murong Xue. They had engaged for ten years, and their marriage was finally cancelled due to the Princess Qin Yuyan from Mo Bei…
Murong Xue? Murong Xue! Mrs. Zhou narrowed her eyes and suddenly turned to look at Murong Xue, who was standing in front of the rockery and looking at her with a spurious smile. Her chest swelled with rage and she said, “Ji’er is the unlucky guy. Are you satisfied?”
“Why am I satisfied? Today’s trap was designed by you. My cousin got what he wanted and got the beauty. I think it should be you who is satisfied. Congratulations for having such a wonderful daughter-in-law.” Murong Xue said laughingly, her eyes beaming with scorn.
“You…” Mrs. Zhou pointed at her and was speechless with anger. Murong Xue knew that she hated Yuan Fangfei and deliberately stayed to make fun of her. Obviously, she was mocking her, making her extremely angry!
“It’s getting late, we will back to the room to rest. May aunt and uncle have a satisfying discussion about the dowry.” Murong Xue smilingly said, turned around and strode forward without looking back. With Yuan Fangfei by Murong Ji’s side, this family of three should not make any big deal during this period of time, Murong Ye could also practice sword in the barracks without distractions and learn to deploy soldiers…
The young man walking beside Murong Xue had red lips, white teeth and a handsome face. The childishness between his brows was getting weaker and weaker. Instead, he had strong perseverance, which was admiring.
“My brother has become smarter.” Murong Xue sighed heartily. Even if she didn’t follow him and hit Murong Ji on the knee with stones, Murong Ye wouldn’t fall for their tricks.
“I should be smarter. Otherwise, how could I protect you? How could I keep the positionour father left to me.” Murong Ye’s eyes were firm, the position and his sister were the most precious wealth his parents left him, and he would certainly take good care of them.
Looking at his firm eyes, Murong Xue chuckled, “If our parents could hear what you say, they would certainly be very happy.”
Murong Ye’s corners of the mouth bent up with a shallow smile. He used to be a jerk, from now on, he would work hard to learn everything that could make him smarter and stronger and never let his parents and sister down.
Swish! A voice that was as tiny as bee buzz broke through the air and a black figure passed on the nearby roof.
Murong Xue’s eyes were fierce, “Who is it?”
