ult position…”
Murong Ye waved his hand and interrupted his speech, looking coldly at him, “Ye Yichen is well-versed in the art of war. If he really likes my sister and wishes to marry her as first wife, he would have fought so hard that Mobei would have taken the initiative to surrender without daring to mention a single condition. Demoting my sister as concubine for the sake of peace between both countries? You dare to give me such a cursory excuse? Do you think I am three years old?”
After being idle for so many years, he is still able to evaluate the situation clearly, hitting all the key points – Murong Ye is an exceptionally smart person. However, the marriage to Murong Xue is very important to the Prince. The Prince will definitely not allow Murong Ye to break it off.
“Your Honor, I am only obeying the Prince’s orders to give the bride price. Please do not make things difficult for us,” Seneschal Wang said softly, giving a look to the servants carrying the trunks.
The servants understood his signal and carried the trunks towards the front door of the Marquis’ Mansion; so quickly that the others could not react in time.
By the time Murong Ye realized, the first few servants of the possession had already carried the bride price into the Marquis’ Mansion. “What are you all doing?” Murong Ye was angry and agitated, and thundered. He ran quickly into the Mansion and fiercely kicked the trunks over.
The servants carrying the trunks did not expect that and the trunks between them flipped over onto the ground, spilling over the countless gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, and silk satin. Every one of those items were extremely valuable and blinded everyone’s eyes.
But Murong Ye did not even notice. He glared angrily that the servant and snapped, “This is the Marquis’ Mansion, not your Prince Jing Mansion. You all dare to force your way in? Who gave you the courage?”
The servant lowered their heads, silent, but whether intentionally, their eyes casted glances to the side!
Murong Ye followed the direction of their glances and saw Seneschal Wang. The fury in his eyes burned like fire. Seneschal Wang is Ye Yichen’s closest aide. If he had asked the servants to force their way into the Marquis’ Mansion, then it must be based upon Ye Yichen’s instruction.
“I had initially thought that Ye Yichen is an upright man and a great hero. Even if we do not become related, we could still be friends. I never imagined that he is such a despicable person. Failing to abide by the marriage agreement, and even worse, using his power to try and force my sister into being his concubine. How very shameless!”
“Although my Household is not as noble as Prince Jing’s, but we will not allow others to trample over us wantonly. Seneschal Wang, go back and tell Ye Yichen. The Murong Family no longer cares for him. Even if he wants to take my sister has his first wife now, we will no longer be interested. We want to annul the engagement!”
Even before the marriage, he had insulted his sister such. After marriage, he will definitely be worse. If his sister marries into Prince Jing’s Household, it would be like marrying into a den of monsters; she might lose her life at any time.
Everyone looked at him shocked. He dared to call Prince Jing despicable? How audacious!
Murong Ye did not bother to notice and he sharply ordered, “Throw these dirty things out!”
“Yes, sir!” The guards of the Marquis Mansion hurriedly walked up, as though they had just woken up from a dream, picked up Prince Jing’s servants and the bride price those servants had brought and mercilessly threw them out.
Murong Ye watched the chaos and cries of Prince Jing’s people, his fury gradually calming. He walked up and took Murong Xue’s hand, striding towards the Marquis Mansion, “Let’s go in, lest these filthy people offend our eyes!”
“Alright!” Murong Xue nodded happily.
Ye Yichen had disregarded her wishes and forcibly tried to give the bride price in order to take her as concubine. She, too, was disgusted and had been ready to harshly teach Seneschal Wang and his gang a lesson. She never expected Murong Ye to action first and mercilessly push back against the arrogance of the people from Prince Jing’s Household. He swept Prince Jing’s face to the ground and defended her. There’s no need for her to make any move; she’ll just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
