When she walked past Xia Churan, she smiled and said, “Sister, you seem to have become prettier.”

Xia Churan smiled and said, “Sister, you’re the one with extraordinary beauty. Otherwise, King Zhennan wouldn’t have taken a fancy to you.”

There was a hint of jealousy in her words.

Xia Muqing was stunned. King Zhennan, Ye Qingxuan?

She had almost forgotten about him, and she wondered how his legs were doing.

Xia Jingtian, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted, “Churan.”

Xia Churan’s smile deepened and she said, “Father, Sister will find out eventually. Moreover, this is such wonderful news. I should congratulate my third sister in advance.”

Xia Muqing was a little puzzled and asked, “What has Ye Qingxuan got to do with me?”

Hearing her call him King Zhennan, everyone reacted differently.

Ruan Yu and Xia Chuxing were furious and jealous, while Xia Jingtian was filled with excitement.

He laughed out loud. “Muqing, no matter how much King Zhennan dotes on you, you have to know your limits. You can’t be arrogant because of his favor.”

Xia Muqing’s eyes darkened. It seemed that their change in attitude was related to Ye Qingxuan. What did that fellow do?

During the meal, Xia Jingtian appeared overly excited, and his face was flushed.

Under Xia Muqing’s careful persuasion, she learned the whole story.

It turned out that the news of Ye Qingxuan’s recovery had spread. The return of the war god naturally became a major news in the capital.

The emperor had the intention to bestow a marriage to him, but he insisted on marrying Xia Muqing. Instantly, Xia Muqing was pushed to the cusp of the news.

Xia Muqing clenched her chopsticks tightly. Ye Qingxuan was really shameless.

Furious, she ignored Xia Jingtian and left.

Ruan Yu seized the opportunity to say, “Master, look at her attitude. Even if she marries King Zhennan, she might not necessarily be of any help to the Xia family.”

The smile on Xia Jingtian’s face retracted. “So what? Once she enters the King’s manor, she will have to rely on the Xia family’s power as her backing. If she wants to gain a foothold, she has to be tied to the Xia Family.”

With these words, he looked at Ruan Yu and Xia Churan and said, “Don’t provoke her for the time being. You two have indeed gone overboard previously. It’s understandable that that child is angry.”

Ruan Yu curled her lips in disdain. Back then, if he hadn’t ignored Xia Muqing initially, they wouldn’t have gone overboard. Now, everything became their fault.

Xia Jingtian sipped his wine happily. Recently, because of King Zhennan, he had been enjoying his time at court.

Those who hadn’t taken a liking to him before, had all come to curry favor with him. They hoped that he could put in a good word for them with King Zhennan. After all, when King Zhennan had been injured, there had been many who had struck him when he was down.

Xia Muqing returned to the willow garden. This place looked the same as before she left. But back then, she chose this courtyard because it was connected to a mountain behind which the black eagle could stay. Now, she suddenly understood.

As soon as she stepped in, a row of maidservants entered. They were all holding plates with brand new bed accessories, clothes, and accessories. After Xia Muqing had given her approval, they swiftly changed the decoration in the room.

This sort of treatment had never happened before. It seemed that Xia Jingtian really wanted to be in the good books of King Zhennan.

At the thought of Ye Qingxuan, Xia Muqing got angry. She didn’t believe that Ye Qingxuan really liked her. He must have used her as a shield.

After the servants had left, she blew out the candles in the room and pretended to rest. She then left the Xia residence through the window.

She made her way to the residence and easily climbed up the roof. She found Ye Qingxuan’s room and opened a tile on the roof.. She peered inside but there was no one inside.
