Just now, when he had entered the palace, Murong Tai was worried that the emperor would punish him because of Murong Qi Qiâs matter. He didnât think that Longze Yu would grant her the status of princess and let her marry Bei Zhou countryâs Feng Cang.
Thinking about Feng Cangâs deceased father Feng Xie, Murong Taiâs heart tasted bad like it had spilled a bottle of bitter seasoning. From beginning to end, this man has occupied the heart of the woman he deeply loves. Even after his death, she preferred to stay at the temple praying. She refused to take one step outside the temple to take a look at Murong Tai and their two daughters.
In his heart, Murong Tai isnât willing to let Murong Qi Qi marry Feng Cang. Although she is rubbish but after all, she is his own flesh and blood.
His wife Li Qui Shui, throughout her whole life, the only one she thinks of and misses is Feng Cangâs father, Feng Xie. Now, his daughter has to marry Feng Cang to chongxi. No matter how you see it, itâs the Feng family whoâs receiving the advantage. This is something that Murong Taiâs pride and dignity as a man could not allow.
Chongxi: arrange a wedding for a very ill young man with the hope that the âevent of great joyâ will drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery
But if Murong Qi Qiâs marriage to Feng Cang can return Li Qui Shuiâs smile; if sacrificing Murong Qi Qi would make Li Qui Shui step out of the temple she has stayed at for the past fifteen years and come take a look at him, even if itâs only one glance, he will abandon Murong Qi Qi......
With that thought, just now in front of the emperor, Murong Tai accepted this matter.
âCould it be that prime minister did not understand bengongâs1 words?â
Murong Qi Qi jerked back and looked coldly at Murong Tai. That glance is as cold as ice, making Murong Taiâs whole body suddenly feel chilly.
âBengong is princess Zhao Yang, the future Nan Lin wangfei2; asking prime minister to please remember your status. The charge of offending your superior is not something prime minister can afford!â
âKuang......â
The door slammed as if itâs showing its ownerâs anger. Murong Tai looked at the door with a dark face, but because itâs he who pushed Murong Qi Qi into the pit of fire, he suppressed his anger.
âDaddy, donât get angry. Maybe, little sister is too happy!â
Murong Xin Lian cleverly came to Murong Taiâs side and comforted him in a soft voice.
âThatâs right. What Xin er3 said is right. She is happy, is happy!â
With Murong Xin Lian giving him a way out of an embarrassing moment, Murong Tai returned to normal quickly. But after seeing the traces of a whip on Murong Xin Lianâs face, Murong Tai frowned.
âYour face?â
âItâs third little sister who wanted to learn martial arts and let me teach her. Itâs daughter who didnât know how to teach, so, so......
Murong Xin Lian covered her face. She only said half, the other half she left it to Murong Taiâs imagination.
âHumph! She is just like that!â
After knowing that the scars on Murong Xin Lianâs face were made by Murong Qi Qi, the guilt that Murong Tai had felt for third daughter decreased.
Anyway, itâs not a bad thing to have a rubbish married off. Staying at home would take up place and also stir up trouble. Moreover, such a person like Feng Cang marrying a rubbish; in the future, Feng familyâs bloodline will have half of his Murong familyâs blood. This let Murong Tai feel a small amount of pleasure from revenge.
Feng Xie, you took away Shui erâs heart. Laofu will let this rubbish scourge the whole Feng clan!
Thinking till here, Murong Taiâs mood is excellent. And after seeing Murong Xin Lian look at Longze Jing Tian with a pair of eyes that were full of feelings, Murong Taiâs brain turned and got a good idea. Therefore, he didnât care that Murong Xin Lianâs looks were currently damaged and took her to Longze Jing Tian.
âWangye, this is this prime ministerâs second daughter Murong Xin Lian. Xin Lian, quickly pay respect to wangye!â
âYour subjectâs daughter greets wangye!â
The handsome man in front of her is the one sheâs fancied for a long time, Jing wang. Murong Xin Lianâs little heart suddenly began to thump hard. Her face is also burning really hot.
Definitely must leave a good impression on Longze Jing Tian. Definitely must use my beauty to keep him!
Murong Xin Lain paid her respect shyly but unexpectedly, the moment her knees bent, the clothes on her body tore open like snowflakes. Even her undergarments turned into patches of red petals flying away. When Murong Xin Lian got up, she was standing without anything on her body in front of Longze Jing Tian.
âAh.......â
Murong Xin Lian turned red from shyness. Her hands immediately covered her chest. After that, she felt that itâs still not right. She immediately turned around and is now facing Longze Jing Tian with her back. But as soon as she turned around, standing in front of her was a eunuch. Murong Xin Lian wanted to die and fainted.
âXin Lian, Xin Lian!â
Murong Tai suddenly shouted, but he didnât have any intention to step forward and support her.
Seeing that the red-faced Murong Xin Lian was stiffly falling onto him, Longze Jing Tian felt that no matter if he caught her or not, it wouldnât be right, so he can only take off his outer garments and quickly wrap it around Murong Xin Lian.
âMiss, are you alright?â
Donât know if Murong Xin Lian really fainted or had pretended to faint. She let Longze Jing Tian shout and didnât make a sound and continued to nestle in his embrace, making it so that he had no way out of this dilemma.
âOh......â
Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a glance. The two dragged Fei Cui away.
Only after Murong Tai and the others had left did Murong Qi Qi come out of the room. To her surprise, Murong Jun hadnât left and was still in Cui Zhu yuan4. The words he said were even more surprising.
âThird little sister, are you really going to marry Nan Lin wang? His image isnât very good.â
âBig brother, the decree has been sent, what can I do now?â
Murong Qi Qi smiled faintly. This brotherâs performance today let her have some admiration.
âToday, thanks big brother for helping.â
âYou and I are biological siblings, no need to be polite. Moreover, third little sister also helped me.â
Murong Junâs words were right to the point, he didnât say any more or less.
âFor the offences of the past, asking third little sister to please forgive me. Although Iâm playful and unruly, itâs not that I canât distinguish between the good and the bad. What happened today is what I had to do. Third little sister doesnât need to put it in your heart!â
The siblings made eye contact and understood each otherâs meaning.
Murong Jun stayed for a moment longer and then left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned: âThird little sister, in the future, if fourth little sister goes overboard and offends you, please spare her.â
So it turned out that Murong Jun knew that Su Mei did something to Murong Xin Lianâs clothes. Murong Qi Qi only chuckled: âBig brother, my motto has always been âif people donât bother me, I donât bother themâ.
âI understand.â
Murong Jun sighed heavily. Murong Qi Qi said it so straightforwardly; he could only hope that his little sister would behave a little. This third little sister is not as weak as she seemed. Heâs afraid that she is the best out of the whole Murong clan.......
In just one night, the wind changed. Murong Qi Qi transformed into an imperial princess & Nan Lin wangfei while Murong Xin Lian has become Jing wangâs cefei5.
âMiss, I didnât expect that I ruined her clothes only to have her achieve her dream! But donât worry, Iâve already let out rumors. Now the whole capital knows that Jing wang broke off the engagement for Murong Xin Lian. They have long had an affair. Murong Xin Lian stole her little sisterâs fiancée. Now her reputation really stinks. Of course, Longze Jing Tian is also no better! Humph! Who let them bully miss?!â
