Qin Yuyan goggled at Murong Xue, with raging fire burning under her eyes. While that bitchy dog brought them to her Lotus Courtyard, she was sitting by the window. She could only see the goddamn dog dig out her precious medicine but do nothing. Yichen got furious. She was afraid he may search her room, so she hid the poison in her gold hairpin, but still got busted by that goddamn dog…
People’s eyes with contempt and disdain all fell on Qin Yuyan: It should be her. Without any doubt!
Old Prince Jing didn’t like her, but had never been hard on her. He had supplied anything she needed, food, clothes, a place to live, whatsoever! And when she got badly injured, precious medicine had been kept sending to her place for her to recover. Instead of being grateful, she had got Old Prince Jing poisoned. How nasty, despicable and ungrateful…
“Qin Yuyan, you really let me down!” Ye Yichen looked at Qin Yuyan, with cold light flashing under his eyes: My father always has a word of her, and she could feel unhappy about it, or complain to him. But how could she use such an insidious method?
Qin Yuyan’s eyes were filled with tears instantly. She had been here for so long, but Yichen still wouldn’t marry her. Plus, Old Prince Jing didn’t like her, and always pulled strings between him and Murong Xue. She was angry with him so she used such dirty means to poison him.
Her original plan was that if Yi Chen married her as his first wife, she was gonna give Old Prince Jing the antidote. At that time when he came to life, it meant that the Warding-off Wedding was a success and Old Consort Jing and Yichen would like her more. And even if Old Prince Jing hated her, for the sake that she saved his life, he would drop the hatred and let everything go.
But if Yichen married Murong Xue, she planned to feed Old Prince Jing a drop of the poison and let him die while sleeping. Then in people’s eyes, he died due to his old disease. And it showed that the Warding-off Marriage failed and Murong Xue should take all the blame. At that time, Old Consort Jing would hate her, Yichen would detest her, maybe he would throw her in a remote courtyard or even divorce her.
By then, she would marry Yichen well-reasoned and become the new Consort Jing, and live with him forever.
She least expected that Muyrong Xue detoxified Old Prince Jing and spoiled her plan, and even made her lose all her reputation! This was unbearable!
She was the noble princess from Mo Bei. Nobody could defeat her!
“This hairpin belonged to me. But about one month ago, I gave it to Yingying as a reward. I went out in such a hurry that I could not find my own hairpin, so Yingying dressed me up with her…”
Everyone beeped on hearing that. So what Qin Yuyan was trying to say was it was her maid Yingying who had put the powder in the hairpin without her noticing…
Everybody now turned to Yingying, whose slim body was trembling, wearing a pale face, with all shocking in her eyes: So the princess wanted her to take the blame? But she was the only one the princess could trust.
She stared at Qin Yuyan with her eyes popped out, while Qin Yuyan was also gazing at her, with something evil glittering in her eyes, making Yingying chill: Qin Yuyan was the noble princess while she was only a menial maid. If Qin Yuyan wanted her to die, she could only die. And if she wanted her to be the scapegoat, she would have no other choice.
“It was me. Princess Yuyan has nothing to do with this!”
Looking at her despairing eyes, Murong Xue sneered: Qin Yuyan is both smart and dumb to let her closest maid be her scapegoat, “So why did you poison his lord?”
“Because his lord doesn’t like our princess. So I tried to teach him a lesson.” Yingying replied with a rather calm voice mechanically.
All the maids and mamas looked at each other, thinking: Yingying is only a personal maid given as a dowry. Even if she has a word of the host of the mansion, she would only complain secretly.
Would she really be so heartless and bold enough to poison Old Prince Jing? Who the hell would buy it? There must be someone behind her. And as for whom it was, hehe…
Now people all laid their contempting eyes on Qin Yuyan.
But only Murong Xue was looking at Ye Yichen. Anyone with a brain would know Yingying was the scapegoat. Now Old Prince Jing was severely ill.. Ye Yichen would be in charge here. To punish whom was all up to him.
“It is Yingying who tried to poison my father. Drag her away! Beat her to death!” Ye Yichen gave an order indifferently.
“Yes!” Two guards moved forward and dragged Yingying out.
Along with the beating sound, Yingying’s painful whining was heard throughout the whole yard. All maids and mamas looked at each, as mute as a fish: The master should have his own reason to make this decision. So they should all keep their mouths shut.
Murong Xue sneered. Old Prince Jing got poisoned. Only by finding out the one behind it was to revenge him. But Ye Yichen didn’t get to the bottom of it and executed Yingying to protect Qin Yuyan. So he loved her for real.
Qin Yuyan felt much relieved on hearing that, with all joys under her eyes. She knew that Yichen would favor her. Even if she had made a mistake, he wouldn’t bear to punish her.
With her lips curled up at a graceful angle, she looked at Ye Yichen with all tenderness, while Ye Yichen was glaring at her. The cold light under his eyes nearly killed her.
What was wrong with him?
She looked at Ye Yichen with her jaws dropped, while he turned around and strode away without turning back at her. Every step was hitting the floor, as if the sweet happiness was also stepping away from her…
So Yichen hated her? She nearly killed his father, he had every reason to hate her. But she only meant to set up Murong Xue. His father was only an accident…
Qin Yuyan felt wronged. And her tears were spilling out of her eyes, down on her face. Yichen mistook her. She had to explain it to him.
When she was about to call him, a cold voice came in, “Prince Jing, hold on for a second!”
Ye Yichen stopped and turned around, seeing Murong Xue was walking slowly towards him, with that pair of dark and cold eyes, beautiful and radiant small face. And the snow cyan hemline was swinging in the wind, making her more noble and graceful.
There was a moment Ye Yichen was lost in her beauty. And then he said softly, “What?”
Murong Xue smiled gently, “Prince Jing, since your father has been sober, according to our bet, we should cancel the engagement now.”
