THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 76. Meet Murong Jian And Murong Ji

“Oh, so you are Murong Xue!” Murong Ji turned his gaze up and down, Murong Xue, his eyes filled with contempt and sarcasm, “Rude, unreasonable – as my mother explained to you. You are a shame to the Murong family!”

Murong Xue laughed coldly. He did not get along with Du, his son or even his grandson. Since Murong Ji was so disrespectful towards him, he would not treat him politely either.

“You're arrogant, despotic and show-off, your eyes are like growing overhead! How did your parents raise you? You're the one who really humiliated the Murong family!”

Murong Ji gave an ominous hmmph, “Not me left behind by your future husband, I have nothing worthy of being humiliated in public!”

“You dominate the streets, riding your horse – the action itself is already annoying and rude! Don't you have any manners! But you should have been lucky to meet me, if it was another prince or a rich family, you would have already been beaten up and sent to jail, how could you still be here standing ridiculing me?” Murong Xue looked at him in a scornful tone.

Murong Ji's expression immediately darkened and he glared at Murong Xue, “Murong Xue, don't you dare use your position as my older cousin to mock me, I don't even recognize you as my cousin.

Murong Xue replied with hmph, “Oh, so you think I recognize you as my cousin  ? Your arrogant nature can only be tolerated in Jing Zhou, where your father worked. However in Jing City, if you dare to do something unlawful, it will not go unnoticed. If you want to die, please don't die here, go to another city and don't involve us....”.

Seeing Murong Xue's gaze filled with disdain, Murong Ji's eyes flared with rage. How dare he mock and curse her!

His hand clenched and was about to swing it towards Murong Xue when the voice of a man shouted, “Stop!”

Murong Xue looked towards the voice. He saw a middle-aged man walking towards them. He wore a long green robe with bamboo pattern embroidery on it, black cloth tied around his waist and tall boots. He is strong and handsome. He was none other than Murong Jian!

“I teach you to always be polite and tolerant. But you came back and made a mess, did you not listen to my teachings?!”

Murong Ji felt guilty, he pointed towards Murong Xue and said, “Dad, he mocked me!”

“He is your cousin's brother, now that you have made a mistake, it is appropriate that he lecture you. Quick, sorry!” Murong Jian's resolute voice commanded his son.

Murong Ji lowered his head and had red-framed eyes but he did not apologize.

Murong Jian glared at him and turned his head towards Murong Xue. Gently, he spoke, “Ji is young and does not know much yet, please do not care about him!”

Seeing his sincere looking gaze, Murong Xue laughed coldly inwardly. Murong Jian was also on horseback when he returned to Jing City. He is a 30-year-old man. Obviously, he could ride horses faster than his son. He achieved his goal much earlier than Murong Ji. In fact, he knew he was looking at the commotion from the crowd. Knowing that his son would not win this argument, he intervened to get Murong Ji out of the argument. He is a cunning fox!

“Uncle, don't worry, I won't hang out with people who don't have manners!” Murong Xue smiled, clearly mocking Murong Ji.

Murong Jian's eyes contained a hint of a puzzle before disappearing completely and gazing kindly at Murong Xue, “Why are you alone? Your brother, Ye, is not accompanying you?”

Murong Xue smiled and said, “Brother, he.

“Sister, I'm back!” cheerful exclamations rang out from the crowd and Murong Ye was seen running towards him. His black eyes are shining.

“Have you ever met General Zhang?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows towards him.

"Yes." Yeah." Murong Ye nodded vigorously, “General Zhang looks fierce but he is a good man...”.

“He who is out of town....” replied Murong Ye with a smile.

He then looked towards Murong Jian and was surprised, “Uncle, why are you back?”

“It was ordered from above, they put me back here.....” Murong Jian explained briefly, his gaze never left Murong Ye, “Why did you go to see General Zhang?”

“That's because I have decided to join the army.General Zhang has agreed to allow me to join, I am here to pack and I will officially join the army tomorrow morning.”.

The joining of Murong Ye with the army was not something to hide, so he clearly admitted that to his uncle.

Murong Jian nodded his head and said, “Adult men should have their own dreams, having a plan to make it happen is a good thing. However, you are still very young, joining the army alone may not be appropriate. Why not let Ji join you too? You two can take care of each other.”

Murong Xue laughed coldly. Seeing how Murong Ji treated him, he knew that Murong Jian and his wife had instilled hatred in Murong Ji because they were hostile to Murong Xue and Murong Ye. Murong Jian let his son get close to Murong Ye had a purpose and willfulness, nothing good could result from that.

“Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but Murong Ji just returned to Jing City. It must have been an exhausting journey, how could he not rest and join the army? It was not good for his health...”.

But Murong Jian was not moved, “Boy is not meant to be spoiled. Joining the army can train yourself for the better. Ji and Ye are almost the same age and are cousins. The two of you can join together, train together, and grow together, that would be amazing…….. ”

Once again, Murong Xue laughed coldly. Murong Jian had made it sound very beneficial to everyone, but he knew what was good for Murong Jian and his family was bad for him and his brother.

“The army camp is led by General Zhang, whether Murong Ji will join or not, General Zhang will take the final decision.”

“No problem, tomorrow morning I will personally send Ji to the camp to meet with General Zhang.” Murong Jian said with a smile, his eyes shining with arrogance.

Murong Xue squinted his eyes suspiciously: Apparently, he had already steeled his heart by letting Murong Ye and Murong Ji join the army together. He had just returned to Jing City and he was eager to unite them. What is he planning…..?

“Mr.....sir.....something has happened!” a servant rushed towards them. He gasped when he reached them.

Murong Jian raised his eyebrows, his action implied, “Why so nervous, what happened?”

“That's your mother, the Madam was so badly injured that she fainted...” the maid replied in a panic.

Murong Jian was surprised, “What happened? Isn't he okay, how could he be seriously injured?”

The male servant shook his head, “I don't know...just went to pay his respects to her and found her lying unconscious on the floor.His servant was also injured..”.

Murong Jian's eyes narrowed in suspicion, “Have you called the doctor?” His mother and maid, Grandma Guo, were injured on the same day, something sounded suspicious…..

"Yes we have. Madam says she was beaten by someone...” The servant looked carefully at Murong Xue and her voice turned into a whisper, “The girl is still unconscious but she continues to curse Miss Murong quietly.
