Chapter 57: The Xia Family’s Visit

Xia Muqing smiled and said, “What if I don’t?”

Xia Jingtian glanced at Ye Qingxuan and said, “How can an unmarried woman like you live in the residence of the King Zhennan?”

Xia Muqing walked to Ye Qingxuan and leaned against him affectionately. “But I’m already His Highness’ woman.”

Xia Jingtian’s face fell as he surveyed the two of them grimly.

Ye Qingxuan didn’t brush her off and even pulled her into his arms.

Xia Muqing stiffened before she relaxed again and leaned into him as if she had no bones in her body.

Xia Jingtian had no choice but to pressure Ye Qingxuan.

He said, “King Zhennan, my third daughter has been specifically chosen by Prince Yu.”

Xia Muqing sighed. The Xia family was really courting death. She felt a pain in her waist when she thought of that. She glared at Ye Qingxuan discreetly. She wasn’t the one who said that.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at the woman calmly in his arms and quipped, “Is that so? Then get Prince Yu come and get her himself.”

He had been keeping a low profile recently. It seemed that many people were getting restless.

He narrowed his eyes and his bloodthirsty aura swept towards Xia Jingtian.

Xia Jingtian’s face turned pale and his legs trembled unconsciously.

Trembling and stammering inaudibly, he forced himself to bow and leave.

After he left, Xia Muqing sprang up and walked away from Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan mocked her softly, “Physician Xia, you really threw me away after using me.”

Xia Muqing wasn’t embarrassed at all. Her eyes darted around and she took the opportunity to say, “Xia Jingtian doesn’t respect you at all. Shall I teach the Xia family a lesson on your behalf?”

Ye Qingxuan actually found her fawning amusing.

This was the first time he had seen someone who made bullying sound so refined.

Without replying to that, he brought up another matter. “I heard that you used my jewelry to please my woman?”

Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows and grinned. “Since you’ve given it to me, it’s mine. I used my belongings to help you settle your concubine problem. You should praise me instead.”

“Ha—” He laughed because of how shameless she was.

Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and ignored her.

Xia Muqing didn’t leave. After a while, she said nervously, “Then I’ll take what I said about the Xia family as consent.”

Ye Qingxuan’s eyelids twitched, but he remained mum.

Xia Muqing quickly added, “I shall take it that you’ve agreed silently. Lend me your power for a while. I’ll get going.”

She didn’t give him a chance to retort and quickly fled after saying that.

Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes and was deep in thought. He finally knew why Xia Muqing had stayed with him.

A person with needs, had weaknesses. Only those with weaknesses would be easy to control.

Xia Jingtian returned to the Xia residence with an unusually gloomy expression.

The servants walked around to avoid him, afraid that he would vent his anger on them.

There was one person who did the opposite. Looking at Xia Jingtian, who was walking hastily, Ruan Yu was fully focused on appeasing him.

She finally managed to coax him.

Xia Jingtian recounted what had happened today angrily.

Ruan Yu pondered briefly before saying with a frown, “It’s time to meet with Prince Yu.”

Prince Yu didn’t plan on holding a wedding. Although he was getting a wife, he was actually using a palanquin to bring her into the residence. It was the same treatment for a concubine.

Xia Jingtian frowned in frustration.

They could no longer regret their decision.

Xia Jingtian replied grimly, “If there’s no other way out, send Chuxing over to him. After all, Prince Yu doesn’t care which woman he takes.”

Startled, Ruan Yu wanted to dissuade him, but was interrupted by a voice at the door.

The two of them walked out to take a look. It was Xia Chuxing, who happened to be here.

The lunch box she had thrown on the floor because she was in a panic.

She looked at Ruan Yu in disbelief. Under such circumstances, Ruan Yu couldn’t refute Xia Jingtian’s request right in front of her, and could only signal to her with her eyes.
