Chapter 123: Old Consort Jing Is Back
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Murong Jian, what is your motive of bringing Song Qingyan here to seduce me with the rosemary acid?”
On hearing what he said, everyone on site was astonished! How dare a humble daughter from Wu’an Marquis Mansion seduce Prince Jing with such nasty means?
They all cast their eyes on Murong Jian and Song Qingyan with contempt.
Murong Jian pulled his face, glanced at Song Qingyan viciously and thought to himself “You can’t even do such a tiny thing? So stupid!”
However angry Murong Jian felt about Song, he still pretended to be astonished as others did, “Urgh…I know nothing about it, my lord…”
The scent of rosemary acid could still be smelt in the air, plus the plum long dress was there right before Prince Jing. Crimes of trickery and seduction, he could deny either of them. But he still couldn’t admit it. Otherwise, it meant he was telling Ye Yichen they had already set up this trick beforehand.
“You really didn’t know?” Ye Yichen flashed his eyes at Murong Jian, with only coldness, making Murong Jian shiver down the spine: He brought Song Qingyan together with him, of course Ye Yichen wouldn’t believe a word of him…
After thinking for a second, he raised his right hand and made a vow, stressing each syllable, “In the name of all gods and His Highness, every word I, Murong Jian, said is true. If I lie, I will get struck by lightning and die in my boots!”
Ye Yichen was hard to fool. If he only kept denying it, Ye Yichen not only wouldn’t believe what he said, but also despised him for passing the buck. So the best way was to make a vow in front of Ye to prove his innocence. Even if Ye Yichen still suspected him, he wouldn’t be too hard on him then.
He peeped at Ye Yi Chen, only finding that his expression looked not so tense now. Ye Yichen looked at him indifferently, and then said, “Since you knew nothing about this, it should be Song Qingyan’s idea to set me up then. Someone! Pull Song Qingyan away. 100 whacks!”
Murong Jian was astonished, “Qingyan is too young. She misbehaved herself and offended you. Please show some mercy, Prince Jing.” Qingyan was weak and severely wounded before. She’d be dead then after receiving 100 whacks.
“She set me up, so she should bear the consequences.” Ye Yichen said with an ice cold tone, “What are you waiting for? Drag her away! Do as what I said!”
“Yes!” The guards then moved forward, grabbed Song Qingyan’s arms and pulled her up.
“My lord, please show mercy. She is only thirteen years old. She did make a mistake, but she doesn’t deserve to die…” Murong Jian’s face turned all pale. He held her in his arms, with only anxiousness and pains in his eyes. Old Prince Jing could do nothing but heave a long sigh on seeing this.
He took a look at Song Qingyan, only finding that her eyes were half open, with blood at the corner of her mouth. Apparently she was badly injured. He then said, “Yichen, Song Qingyan is already severely injured. And she has taken what she deserved. Let them go!”
Ye Yichen frowned. After a moment’s hesitation, he still nodded, “As you said, father.”
He then raised his eyes and looked at Murong Jian, saying with an extremely cold voice, “Get your ass out of here! From today on, never set your foot on my mansion again!”
Murong Jian felt much relieved on hearing this. He exhaled a long breath and said, “Thank you, Prince Jing. Thank you, my lord.”
“Say no more. Take Song Qingyan to the doctor now.” Old Prince Jing interrupted him: He had anticipated that Murong Jian should have cooked some ill intention. But he never expected his target was his son, and using such dirty means…
Kids from Du family were the same as the ten years ago, still so despicable and unscrupulous…
“Thank you for your kindness, my lord…” Suddenly an idea flashed in his head. He then turned to Song Qingyan who was in a mess, sighed, “Qingyan is a girl, exposing her virgin body in front of so many people. How does she live?”
“Most guards and servants here are still single. You can pick one as her husband.” Ye Yichen answered casually.
Murong Jian then thought: The first one who saw Qingyan’s body was Ye Yichen. Even if someone had to be responsible for her, it should be Ye Yichen. How could he pass the buck to those minions?!
Anyway Qingyan was the daughter from Wu’an Marquis Mansion. How could she marry one of those hangdogs?!
Ye Yichen really had gone too far!
After quite a while, Murong Jian pressed down the raging fire in his chest, and then said, “You mistook me, Prince Jing. What I meant is that I hope you can keep this a secret for Qingyan.”
Since Ye Yichen wouldn’t be responsible for Qingyan, he had neither the ability nor a reason to push Prince Jing, so he could only compromise.
“There is no such a yenta in my mansion!” There was kind of sarcasm in Ye’s words.
Murong Jian could only swallow it. He carried Song Qingyan up and walked outside slowly, “Thank you for your kindness, Prince Jing. I’ll take my leave!”
Qingyan failed her tricks, made a show of herself in front of everyone and even got badly injured. Even the way those dogs looked at them was different, only with despise and distain. So they should get out of here as soon as possible.
Feeling only dizzy, eyes half closed, Song Qingyan still heard every word of Ye Yichen, those sarcastic words. She felt a raging fire burning in her chest, then spitted out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
“Qingyan, Qingyan…” Murong Jian panicked! He then ran home like mad carrying Song Qingyan.
At this time, a madam came out surrounded by a bunch of maids and mamas. Red lips, high chignon, well maintained beautiful face, ostentatious hairpins made her look extremely elegant and poised. She cast a glance at Song Qingyan who had already passed out, hummed, “
“Using such dirty means to seduce my son?! Myrong family never lacks of dirty dogs…”
On hearing her, Prince Jing immediately darkened his face, and said bitterly, “What are you talking about?”
“Did I say something wrong? Hasn’t that girl named Song Qingyan got hurt for she tried to set up my son?” She raised her eyebrows, with all arrogance in her eyes.
Actually she had already arrived. She wanted to enjoy the show, so she didn’t come out until the show was over.
Old Prince Jing looked gloomier now, “Didn’t I tell you to stay in Yunnan? Why do you come back?” For Murong Jian and Song Qingyan’s personalities, he even didn’t want to talk about them.
“My son is getting married. As his mother, of course I should come back to make everything well arranged for him. Why would I stay in Yunnan?” Old Prince Jing didn’t allow her to come back. So she set off a few days later. And finally she came back today.
Old Prince Jing hummed, “Murong Xue is cancelling the engagement, not marrying your son!”
