Chapter 432: Greedy For Her Things
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘King of Youshan’s Residence? Murong family?’
Yu Yunxi had a slight headache when she heard these words.
‘Isn’t it enough for him to send gifts with the identity of the Prince Regent of
Tianxia? Is there a need to send more gifts with the identity of the King of
Youshan?’
Meanwhile, Wang Deshun felt dizzy. He murmured in a daze, “T -the Murong family? The wealthiest family in the world?” fr eewebn ovel.com
Luo Xiuran said, “Who else could it be? Which other Murong family could it
Luo Xiuran knew about Yu Yunxi’s relationship with the Murong family. During the war between Xinan and Nanyue, the Murong family had given Xinan a lot of resources. Although he knew about their relationship, he did not know the details of the relationship.
Upon hearing Luo Xiuran’s words, Wang Deshun thought to himself, puzzled, ‘How is the Eldest Princess related to the Murong family? After all, the Murong family was extremely wealthy and arrogant, serving as a check and balance for various countries. I understand why the King of Youshan and the Third Prince of Beixiao sent gifts to the Eldest Princess. After all, one is very close to the Eldest Princess recently while the other was the Eldest Princess’ fiance. However, what’s going on with the Murong family and the Prince Regent of Tianxia?’
Wang Deshun’s mind was spinning. It took a moment before he calmed down and thought to himself, ‘I have to return and report this to the Empress and the Crown Prince immediately so they can make preparations.”
At this time, Yu Yunxi said helplessly, “Let them in.”
‘If I stop them from entering the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, who knows what kind of rumors will spread in the capital tomorrow…’
Soon enough, dozens of boxes were carried in.
Representing the King of Youshan’s Residence was Jiang Ying. However, he was wearing a disguise so no one would be able to link him to the Prince Regent’s Residence in Tianxia.
Jiang Ying said respectfully, “Eldest Princess, these gifts are from my master.
Please take a look.”
Yu Yunxi glanced at the gifts. Unsurprisingly, they were all precious items. Just one of the gifts was enough to make Yu Xiaoxiao and the others green with envy.
At this time, a young man stepped forward and said, “Eldest Princess, the head of the family has yet to arrive because he had something to deal with. However, he specially instructed me to send these gifts to you. He hopes that you’ll like them.”
Yu Yunxi recognized the young man immediately. He was Lu He, Murong Ze’s trusted aide. She did not expect Murong Ze to find out about her new identity so quickly.
Lu He continued to say politely, “Previously, the head of the family didn’t attend the banquet to celebrate your return. Coincidentally, he’s attending Xichu’s state banquet this time so he planned to meet you.”
Yu Xiaoxiao could not hold it in anymore, and she said sarcastically, “So Master Murong is only meeting Cousin because he’s attending the state banquet. I thought he specially came to meet Cousin. It seems like the state banquet is the main priority, and Cousin is just an afterthought.”
Seeing so many people presenting gifts to Yu Yunxi, Yu Xiaoxiao was about to be devoured by the flames of jealousy. As such, when she heard that the head of the Murong family did not specially come to see Yu Yunxi, she seized the chance to mock Yu Yunxi.
‘Who does Yu Yunxi think she is? Does she think she’s so great?’
Meanwhile, upon hearing Yu Xiaoxiao’s sarcastic words, the smile on Lu He’s face vanished immediately, replaced by an icy expression. Then, he said lightly, “Who are you? Forget it. There’s no need for me to know the name of a nobody like you. You may not know this, but the head of our Murong family always receives invitations for Xichu’s state banquets. However, in the past, he has never attended the banquets. This is the only time he has accepted the invitation.”
Naturally, everyone understood immediately. The head of the Murong family had never attended Xichu’s state banquets in the past. Clearly, he accepted the invitation this time because of Yu Yunxi.
Initially, Lu He did not intend to say so much. He knew Yu Yunxi would not want the world to know much about her relationship with the head of the Murong family. Moreover, some people would become restless if they knew that the Murong family was close to a member of the imperial family of a country. However, he could not hold back when he heard Yu Xiaoxiao mocking
Yu Yunxi.
Lu He looked like a gentleman, but when he was angry, he looked rather frightening.
Yu Xiaoxiao’s face paled, and her legs were weak. She regretted saying those words earlier.
Those who came to send the gifts were very tactful, and they began to take their leave.
Before leaving, Luo Xiuran could not help but sneak a few more glances at Qian Qing. He did not even have the chance to be alone with her, after all.
At the same time, Meng Xia’s eyes lit up when she saw Luo Xiuran looking at Qian Qing. She asked excitedly, “Sister Qian Qing, is Young Marquis Luo your sweetheart?”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. I have nothing to do with him,” Qian Qing said stiffly with a frown on her face.
“Oh, I understand. He’s not your sweetheart, but you’re his sweetheart,” Meng Xia said with a smile.
“What do you understand exactly?” Qian Qing asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Sounding as though she was very experienced, Meng Xia said, “I’ve read a lot of novels. I understand that Young Marquis Luo is infatuated…”
Qian Qing was at a loss for words. She only massaged her head, not knowing what to say.
Meanwhile, Wang Deshun’s expression was very unsightly. He said stiffly in a low voice, “Eldest Princess, I’ll take my leave first.”
After that, Wang Deshun left dejectedly with the colorful dress as he thought to himself, ‘Fortunately, I was the one who sent the dress here. If the Crown Prince had come, he would’ve been thoroughly humiliated…’
At this time, Old Madam Zhou was dazzled by all the jewelry. She coughed slightly and said loudly, “Two days ago, I heard that Old Madam Han’s granddaughter gave her a pair of jade scepters. Not only that, but Old Madam
Tong’s granddaughter even gave her half of her dowry to show her filial piety…”
As she spoke, Old Madam Zhou kept glancing at the boxes behind Yu Yunxi meaningfully. It was as though she was afraid people would not understand her meaning.
Yu Yunxi ignored Old Madam Zhou and said, “Meng Xia, Qian Qing, bring the gifts back to my courtyard.”
“Yes, Eldest Princess.”
Seeing that the boxes of gifts were about to be carried away, Old Madam Zhou could not hold it in anymore. She said darkly, “A few days ago, the Emperor Emeritus rewarded you with a lot of things. Now, so many people have sent you gifts. How can you keep all of them to yourself? Many people in the residence are living a frugal life. Look, your cousin, Xiaoxiao, hasn’t bought any new clothes for a while now. As her cousin, shouldn’t you take care of her?”
Old Madam Zhou was too embarrassed to say that she was greedy for Yu Yunxi’s things so she could only use Yu Xiaoxiao as an excuse.
Madam Shang despised Old Madam Zhou in her heart, but she naturally did not refute Old Madam Zhou’s words. Instead, she cleared her throat and said to Yu Yunxi in a matter-of-fact tone, “That’s right, Yunxi. We’re a family, after all. Why don’t I help you keep the gifts?”
Yu Yunxi smiled slightly before she said bluntly, “No need. I can take care of my own things.. Otherwise, who knows if rats will steal with them?”
