THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapters 77. Books

Murong Jian's gaze turned sharp and he looked towards Murong Xue, “Xue, what are you doing?”

“I often quarrel with step-grandmother, whenever she gets angry, she will curse me while she sleeps.” Murong Xue replied without further ado.

Passersby looked at him with pity. They live under one roof, there can't be no conflict. Madam Du should have expressed her dissatisfaction directly rather than cursing her in her sleep. She's a petty old woman!

Murong Jian's face turned dark and he asked, "Your stepmother wasn't beaten by you?"

“If I say no, do you believe?” Murong Xue looked at him with skewed eyes, her expression full of scorn, “If you don't believe me, why are you asking me again? Why don't you wait until stepmom wakes up to question her, then you'll find out the truth!”

Murong Xue looked innocent, which made Murong Jian very confused. He then turned around and walked towards Zhen manor.

The wind carried his cold command, “Go to the government official building and tell them that the owner of Zhen manor has been beaten so cruelly, ask Lin to arrest the culprit....”.

Murong Xue sneered, she said that to scare him. But no problem, if Du pleads him guilty, he will tell the truth that Du hired assassins to kill him. In the end, he was the one who would get in more trouble!

Du was injured in the morning but he was found at night the same day, Murong Xue predicted he would not die. It is true that the wicked live longer than the good, he is the ultimate proof…….

"Sister!" murong Ye shouted, his eyes filled with worry and shock. The step-grandmother had always disliked the two of them, she often troubled her sister. It was possible that his sister was angry to the point that he beat her……..

Murong Xue replied casually, “Don't worry, I'll be fine.”.

“Are you really twins? Why don't you look alike at all?” Murong Ji looked towards Murong Xue with an arrogant attitude and then turned his head towards Murong Ye, mocking them.

Murong Xue's expression darkened. He was in no mood to talk to Murong Ji but he was like a plaster, glued to them. Since he was so annoying and arrogant, Murong Xue also did not need to be polite to him. “One of us looks like our father, the other looks like our mother, which is why we don't look alike. Unlike you, you don't really look like your father or mother.

Murong Ji's face flushed with anger.

“I look like my uncle, have you heard of it?”

"Ah, really? Everyone knows that the official's eldest son died of drowning, your 14-year-old self looks just like him when he was 5 years old, it's amazing..”Murong Xue glanced at him with scorn.

Murong Ji is very angry, “I look more like my grandfather......paman is my grandfather's son.......so of course he will be very similar to my grandfather... That's why I also look like my uncle.........”.

Cai Jin coughed loudly several times, interrupting their taunts, “Young Master, Madam is seriously injured, it would be nice if you visit her too.”

“Alright, let's go. Ignore these 2 boring people!” Murong Ji turned around in satisfaction and walked towards Zhen State Palace.

“My brother, let's go home too.” Murong Xue said: “Iblis” and “monster” have arrived at the palace, both owners of course have to return to the palace as well.

"All right." Murong Ye nodded.

“Where is Uncle Hui?” Murong Xue asked, looking around but she failed to find him.

Uncle Hui accompanied Murong Ye to the army camp. Since Murong Ye was here, he should have returned as well.

Murong Xue nodded. Uncle Hui is from the army, he definitely knows what a soldier needs……

As they walked slowly into the palace, Murong Xue saw over 10 men carrying around 6 chests into the study room. He frowned and said, “What are you guys doing?”

Cai Jin came and replied with a smile on them, “Nona Murong, the coffin is full of books. My master, your uncle, has ordered me to put him in the study, making it easier for your brother to read it.

“Thank you for the kindness that uncle showed, but this research has quite a lot of books in it. My brother will never finish reading it. These books are uncle's private collection, must be very valuable, just keep them in his own study room.”

Murong Ye is going to be conscripted. He rarely came home in 3 to 5 years, he would definitely not be here to read all those books. This was simply an excuse for Murong Jian to go in and out of the study room whenever he wanted to. As time goes by, one would think the study room was his.

He could have seized the study room without causing any conflict, let alone changed his identity in the hearts of many as the lord of the palace. Murong Jian is indeed cunning!

Cai Jin argued, “Everything is a study room in this palace, is not the same....”.

“Same is not the same!” Murong Xue replied impolitely, “This study room belongs to the owner of this manor. Ordinary people could not just enter the room. The heir to this manor was currently Murong Ye, this room was only accessible to him. Uncle was an older man but he was not the heir to this manor, he could not go in and out of the room as he wished. Nor is it appropriate to put his things there.”

Murong Xue looked at Cai Jin with a slanted look, “I still remember when my grandfather was alive, you already worked in our manor. My grandfather set this rule, surely you remember?”

Cai Jin's wrinkled face reddened in embarrassment. He was really smart, he only argued for a moment and his statement had forced him to shut up.

“All shelves in Master's study room are full, there is not enough space to put more.....”.

“Then he could expand his study space and add more shelves in it. The Murong family would never persecute his descendants, but his descendants should be aware that there is order in this manor. One cannot simply take ownership of something that does not belong to him...”.

The last sentence is said with great emphasis. Murong Xue's clear voice had penetrated into Cai Jin's heart.

“I'll remember your advice, Miss Murong!”

Murong Xue nodded, “Have these book crates moved to uncle's office. It's the heir to the palace's study room, don't mess up the place. If you happen to meet uncle, I don't mind you telling him what I just said!”

Cai Jin laughed politely but his eyes showed otherwise. Miss Murong is not a fool. Even if master wanted to steal the ownership of this manor, he would face a lot of hardships!

Cai Jin then disappeared on the grounds that he was going to take care of some other necessities. Murong Ye looked at Murong Xue with admiration and feeling impressed, “Sister, you are really smart!”

When he looked at the book chests, he knew the purpose of Murong Jian's actions but he did not know how to stop them. But now, his sister had finished it for him.

Murong Xue smiled, “This is a small matter. It's dark, let's eat and rest. Tomorrow you have to get up early to leave for the military, do not be late.”

"I knew. Then I will go to my room now, you rest too!” Murong Ye nodded his head seriously. He then followed the emerald path back to his residence.

Murong Xue looked at the Yu Tang Court. The corner of his mouth grinned. Du had undergone medical treatment, he should have almost woken up by now. If he hadn't guessed wrong, the first thing Du would have done was exaggerate the story of how he was beaten, blame Murong Xue, ask him to punish Murong Xue and avenge her………

Oh well, Du can do as he pleases, he'll just put his own soldiers outside to protect him……
