Chapter 847 -761: Hostility (Part 2)

Don’t mention a box of rouge, even the entire shop, the other party could clear it out if they wanted.

Could he not be respectful?

Just moments ago, Zhao Keyan and her companions were feeling superior, but now they felt embarrassed, especially under the distinct gazes of the spectators and the original customers of the shop, which made them feel unable to lift their heads.

Zhao Keyan gritted her teeth and suppressed the hatred in her heart, saying, “Let’s go!”

No wonder this person could earn Young Master Xuan’s favor; she actually had some backing. She must inform her father.

Prime Minister Xia, one million taels of silver, his salary for two hundred years wouldn’t reach that, would it? That must be embezzlement and misconduct.

Isn’t Xia Wenjin just relying on this uncle?

Hmph, let father thoroughly report him, see what base she has left when she loses this uncle as Prime Minister!

Xu Man, who had been arrogant and eager to step Xia Wenjin into the mud, was speechless at this moment, and even sneaked a fearful glance at her.

Xia Wenjin boarded her blue cloth carriage, her gaze falling on that luxurious yet quiet carriage, eyes slightly squinting. That carriage had been parked there long enough without any commotion inside, but why did she feel a pair of eyes staring at her?

Xia Wenjin said, “Let’s go!”

Gu Heng raised his hand, and the carriage wobbled away.

Zhao Keyan and her companions left the rouge shop with iron-green faces, embarrassedly retreating!

Their carriage wasn’t on this side; after getting off, they strolled the streets—after all, they had maids, and someone to hold the items they bought, just a few steps—perfect to enjoy the bustling streets, which should have been joyful but instead stirred up some anger.

Luo Fu saw Zhao Keyan’s iron-green face and softly advised, “Sister Yan needn’t bother with that coarse girl. Even if she has some silver, borrowing someone else’s jade pendant to bully others, how could she compare to Sister Yan? Young Master Xuan is a man as remarkable as the dragon and the phoenix, Sister Yan matches him perfectly—truly a heavenly pair. It’s only a pity for Prince Cheng’s Heir, who’s also as remarkable as a dragon and the phoenix, what could he be thinking wanting to marry her?”

Shocked by this news, Zhao Keyan asked, “What?”

Luo Fu was equally surprised, “Doesn’t Sister Yan know? It’s said Prince Cheng’s Heir petitioned the Emperor to marry Xia Wenjin, and the Emperor agreed!”

Xu Man exclaimed in astonishment, “Can Prince Cheng’s Heir’s eyes be faulty? What’s good about that woman? He, as a princely heir, could have any woman he wanted, why marry that crude girl?”

“Bang…” The three were whispering extremely softly, yet a sound came from nearby, which startled them, making them instinctively glance over.

It turned out there was a carriage by their side, and the sound came from someone inside the carriage.

If it were usual times, they might have ignored it, but Zhao Keyan was currently in a fit of anger, her face sinking immediately, without needing to speak. Xu Man, eager to curry favor, immediately raised her brows and shouted, “Who are you? Blind like a dog…”

As she prepared to utter harsher words, the carriage curtain lifted, revealing a face, and Xu Man immediately felt as if her tongue had been cut off, unable to utter a single word, her face turning pale.

That pair of sharp, cold eyes, just one glance felt as if suffocating, made Xu Man’s neck feel cold, with a fear as if death loomed over her heart.

She had just cursed someone as blind, yet inside the carriage was Young Master Xuan.

Xu Man’s body trembled, her legs shook, and she unexpectedly fell to her knees.

This sudden change also startled Zhao Keyan and Luo Fu, who hadn’t seen who was in the carriage due to their position. As they were about to pull Xu Man up, as they moved, the person inside the carriage leaned out. The two froze.

Zhao Keyan, originally pale with anger at Xia Wenjin, blushed fiercely with both surprise and delight, saying, “Second Young Master!”

Huangfu Yuxuan’s eyes were sharp as knives, his face stern with rage, a fierce look sweeping over Zhao Keyan and Luo Fu. He said flatly, “Prince Cheng’s Heir petitioned the Emperor to marry Xia Wenjin, and the Emperor agreed?”

That was what Luo Fu had just mentioned in a whisper among the girls, which Huangfu Yuxuan overheard.

Now, hearing Huangfu Yuxuan’s emotionless, even icy words, Luo Fu subconsciously glanced at Zhao Keyan.

Zhao Keyan’s joy had frozen on her face.
