THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 39 – Spitting blood

The radiant sunlight shone on the mosaic pattern of the foliage onto the emerald floor of the palace, reflecting the halo. Murong Xue was bathed in golden light, with one hand holding the wine, she walked forward.

"Murong Xue!" a familiar voice broke the peaceful atmosphere. Murong Xue turned around and saw Mr. Du with a 30-year-old man charging towards him. Behind the 2 men were about 10 female slaves and their grandmothers.

He knew the man, he was the nephew of the Du family, Du Chen Jiang's father, Du Yi. He was in charge of the Tai Chung Temple, he was also one of its 4 officials.

Murong Xue's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. They came quickly, as if the moment he stepped into the manor, Mr. Du had received word that he had returned. He then proceeded to bring a large number of people with him to block his path.

“Grandmother, Office Du, why did you bring a march of this magnitude to greet me? Is this a court for religious offences or a court for crimes?”

“Murong Xue, don't interrupt! Chen Jiang has accused you of seriously injuring him! How did this happen?!” Du Yi interrogated with a serious attitude.

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows. And thus, the trial has begun . There is no trash talk ahead but straight to the point. So, he had to comply to play along.

“He who teased me. Therefore I must teach him a lesson...”.

"Junk! Chen Jiang is your cousin, he will never tease you!” Du Yi's hoarse voice cut him off, not believing his explanation.

“You watched Du Chen Jiang grow up, you must know very well about his lustful attitude towards beautiful women. Every time he saw her, he went up to tease them, wasn't that what he usually did?"

Du Yi choked. Upon closer inspection, she discovered she had pitch-black hair, her eyebrows curved beautifully like a painting, her face extremely beautiful. Murong Xue saw her inspect her beauty. Just then, he spoke again, “Even if Chen Jiang teases you, you could have punished him lightly, why did you cause such serious injuries to him? Did you know that you had kicked Chen Jiang until he was almost paralyzed….. ”

''Don't worry, Du Chen Jiang is in contact with me, I will never be up to the heart to cripple him. At most, I would only teach him a lesson that would be etched into his memory, serving as a purpose to remind him to never tease me again."

Du Chen Jiang was the eldest grandson of the Du family, if he crippled him, the Du family would never let him go so easily. He was not afraid of their evil plan to avenge him, it was just that he did not have much strength in his position right now, as his parents were unable to protect him and the Du family was waiting for an opportunity for revenge, as he was waiting for a chance to get revenge, of course he would not let them do it their own way!

Seeing that Murong Xue was still acting relaxed when faced, Du Yi's face darkened. He murmured, "You have seriously injured someone, not only do you not reflect on what you did or apologize, moreover, you have the courage to refute our accusations, what an uneducated child ……."

"Shut up! Whether I am well educated or not, isn't that something you are in a position to tell me!" Murong Xue interrupted his mutter and looked at him coldly.

"Not to mention you, Officer Du, have you heard the phrase, Like a father, Like a son? Du Chen Jiang will never become like this, it is you who formed him. But you should be grateful because the person she seduced was me, not a royal princess. Otherwise, he would have long since become a eunuch by now or lay down in the basement to rot….. ”

Du Yi spouted, "Why are you ....."

“You don't have the ability to educate your son, and I, , help you do it. With him being punished, he would most likely cause less trouble. Alright, if you are not grateful for that, but you have the courage to mock me.” Murong Xue finished what she did not say and looked at Du Yi with disdain.

"Good good Good!" Du Yi was so angry that he laughed, what was strange, even stranger was the fact that he uttered "good" 3 times in a row even though nothing was okay, "You're really good with words and good at confusing truth with lies….."

"I'm just being honest, how can I confuse truth with falsehood?" Murong Xue looked at him, his face was innocent, “I don't feel strange if you don't listen to me. Since the stone, cold truths have always been hard to accept. The truth is ugly, and the world has very few people who are assertive and just. Most of them are broken and unreasonable!”

Du Yi's face turned green, did he imply that he was an unreasonable person who used his strength to bully the weak?

The fact that he kept replying to her cynically made her angry!

“Honor the old and love the young?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows towards Du Yi, as if to ridicule him, “Officer Du, respect should be mutual. You, you yourself don't even love the young and you want me to respect the older ones? You must be kidding me!"

"You…." Du Yi glared at Murong Xue, he was so angry that he could not even speak. Suddenly, spit swelled up in his throat. Unable to hold it in, he spat it out.

It was blood.

“Ah Yi, what happened to you? Someone, please help!” Mr. Du panicked and shouted. Women and grandmothers surrounded them. Some wiped the blood, some helped carry Du Yi, it was a chaotic scene.

Murong Xue stood outside the scene staring at the pale-faced Du Yi, he lightly raised his eyebrows. It was just a few sentences and it was enough to make him spit out blood? He must be very weak, I don't understand how he can become one of the officials of the Tai Chang Temple.

"Grandmother, Officer Du, take your time, I must excuse myself to go to my residence now!" Murong Xue casually responded. With a polite smile, he turned around and went to his residence. Du Yi was so angry that he vomited blood, he must be in no mood to punish me now, I can finally calm down.

Turning around the corner, he had reached the door of his residence. Murong Xue ordered, “Hong Xiu, come out to take Jiaowei Yangqin and my things! Also, go to the kitchen to prepare some dishes for me...”.

From noon until now, he was busy dealing with a bunch of bad guys. He hasn't even had lunch yet! The glass of wine Ouyang Shao Chen gave him and some dishes sounded like a good idea!

“Kakak... Sister...” A surprised voice flowed into his ears, Murong Ye rushed out of Murong Xue's residence. Her robes were messy, her hair ornaments had swayed to one side, her eyes had a thin line of red lines within them and there were dark circles under her eyes.

Looking at Murong Xue, his eyes shone. After checking it for any damage, he let out a long sigh, his expression brightened and said, "You're fine!"

Murong Xue smiled wryly. After he consumed the fire lotus seeds, he fell asleep without saying Good night to Murong Ye: "You haven't slept all night?"

“How can I sleep after you disappear....” MuRong Ye said as he swung his hand into the air. He suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Sister, did you take the fire lotus seeds last night?"

Murong Xue nodded, "Yes."

Otherwise, he would have already died by now!

"Then, why did you come back so soon?" Murong Ye asked, startled, "Last time, when you drink it, you will sleep for at least 12 hours….."

Murong Xue flinched. Every time he attacked, the host would be tortured endlessly. He never noticed how long he was out. But when he thought about it, it was true that he would be asleep for at least 10 hours.

However, he picked up fire lotus seeds between 23:00 and 01:00 and woke up between 07:00 and 09:00. He's only been sleeping for about 4 hours. What the hell's going on?

Just then, a purple robe floated into the corner of his eyes, Murong Xue immediately returned to her senses. Looking up, he saw a familiar handsome face. His gaze turned fierce, defensive, "Ye Yichen, why are you here?"
