Chapter 1148 An Ugly Confrontation, Each Sticking to Their Own Argument

“Thank you for telling me this. I still have something to do, so I must go back now. Don’t worry. I will solve this problem. I won’t trouble you or cause a conflict between the two countries!” Chu Qing said all the words in his heart in one breath. After that, he bowed deeply to Chu Liuchen before leaving.

“If I intervene, I can deal with this matter quickly!” This matter seemed to have aroused Chu Liuchen’s interest. Then, he added with relish, “She is just an insignificant woman!”

Chu Qing shook his head decidedly and said, “It’s not just a matter of a woman. I should build up good credit.”

“Credit? Why do you need so much credit?” His lazy voice made people feel sluggish, but Chu Qing’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that.

As an ordinary prince, he certainly didn’t need too much credit, but what if he had other plans, or more specifically, other wild ambitions?

“Please don’t tease me. I just think I should keep my promises!” Chu Qing grew more cautious when answering Chu Liuchen’s questions. Chu Liuchen had been very unpredictable. Facing him, Chu Qing had always been worried about causing other unexpected accidents.

“In this case, go back now. The matter related to Princess Yuyan is also the two countries’ business!” Chu Liuchen waved his hand and reminded lightly.

“Okay, I’ll take my leave now!” Chu Qing said, nodding his head vigorously.

This time, Chu Liuchen didn’t make things difficult for him. With a perfunctory wave to let him leave, he lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand.

Chu Qing withdrew in dejection. Only when he reached the door did he breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he turned around and stole a glance at Chu Liuchen to check his reaction. “He should not have found anything unusual, had he?”

Just now, he nearly gave himself away. Thinking back on it, he turned purple with rage. “What exactly does Yuyan want to do? It won’t do her any good if she annoys me! What a foolish woman. She still has the illusion that she is in the Xu State, so she can do whatever she wants.”

“Let’s go to the two princesses’ courtyard!” Upon getting on the carriage, Chu Qing immediately asked.

“Your Highness, it’s getting late now!” the coachman reminded him.

“Go!” Chu Qing ordered with a gloomy face, not wanting to wait even a moment.

The carriage turned a corner and went to the temporary residence of the two princesses.

Shao Wanru came out from the back of the reception room and sat opposite Chu Liuchen with a bright smile. Hurriedly, Xiao Xuanzi brought her a cup of fragrant tea.

“Commandery Prince Qing seems very affectionate and faithful!” Shao Wanru said with a smile. She had been hiding behind the wall and heard their talks. It looked like a wall at the room’s back, but there was space for people to sit behind it.

“Affectionate and faithful?” Chu Liuchen raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, “Zhuozhuo, do you think so?”

“No!” Shao Wanru shook her head and said. She just found it strange. “Is the relationship between Chu Qing and Mo Qiuyi so close?” When Chu Liuchen took her out at night, she saw Chu Qing enter the small courtyard where Mo Qiuyi lived.

There were a lot of secrets in the Yuhui Nunnery, and Chu Qing’s matter was one of them.

After thinking for a while, she asked, “Who do you think he will marry?”

Chu Qing’s current situation was quite interesting. Both women would marry him, and Princess Yuyan could never fulfill her duty and exercise self-control. The Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion already had Shao Jie’er. Would Mo Qiuyi and Princess Yuyan marry into this mansion? If so, the Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion would become very lively.

“Whomever he wants to marry, there are some things he can’t decide!” Chu Liuchen slouchingly got on his feet, walking to Shao Wanru, who was also in plain and white clothes. He reached out to take her tender fingers and said with an enchanting smile in his eyes, “He thinks everything is under his control, but he is just holding a tiny part of it. Let’s go. You don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Let’s go for a walk!”

“But didn’t we just do it? Are we still going for a walk?” Shao Wanru said helplessly.

They were strolling in the garden when Chu Qing arrived. Only until they felt tied did they come over.

One entered the reception room through the front door, and the other came in from behind. At that time, Chu Qing had been so focused on Chu Liuchen that he didn’t notice the sound of Shao Wanru entering the room. Besides, Shao Wanru made her way carefully for fear of alarming Chu Qing.

“Let’s go and have a look again. If you like those flowers, I’ll ask them to plant more on the edge of the black bamboo wood. With bamboo and flowers, we can enjoy the garden with a rustic charm. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Chu Liuchen pulled Shao Wanru out of the reception room. With a smile, he looked down at her and said.

As the wind blew past them, their clothes fluttered…

They held hands and enjoyed the flowers together. At this moment, Chu Qing arrived at Princess Yuyan’s living place and got out of the carriage. When Princess Yuyan came to welcome him, he snorted coldly at her with a livid face.

In fact, Princess Yuyan didn’t want to greet him. As a noble princess of a country, why should she welcome a prince here?

But she remembered what her mother had told her before she came to this country for marriage. Considering her current situation, she had to maintain a good relationship with Chu Qing. Therefore, to show her kindness, she specially came out to greet him.

When Chu Qing came at this time, she felt flattered. Not long ago, they asked him to come over tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he took it so seriously that he came now. The light was beginning to fail. At this time, servants with lanterns had already started lighting the candles.

To her dismay, as soon as Chu Qing got out of the carriage, he ignored her and gave her a cold snort. Right on the spot, Princess Yuyan’s temper flared. Indeed, he didn’t know how to appreciate favors.

They entered the hall one after another, their faces gloomy.

Princess Yutao was also in the hall. When seeing them coming sullenly, she smiled. There seemed to be another good show. She had thought it would begin tomorrow. To her surprise, she could enjoy another show today.

Princess Yutao stretched herself out on the wide chair. She didn’t intend to leave but wanted to watch the show quietly.

“Greetings, Princess Yutao!” When seeing her, Chu Qing stepped forward and bowed to greet her.

Princess Yutao waved her hand and said carelessly, “Don’t stand on ceremony. You’re here to see my sister? Consort Li can rest assured now. Even in the Kingdom of Dongcang, you still regard my sister as the most important person in your heart!”

Hearing her words, Princess Yuyan looked better. She grunted and sat down on the chair next to Princess Yutao. Seemingly taking it lightly, she raised her eyebrows and squinted at Princess Yutao smugly.

The three of them sat down. Chu Qing fought to hold back his anger, and his expression softened slightly. He said to Princess Yutao with a smile, “May I discuss something with Princess Yuyan alone?”

Princess Yutao was Princess Yuyan’s elder sister and accompanied Princess Yuyan when she married into the Kingdom of Dongcang.

“Do as you please, Your Highness. I have something else to do, so I can’t stay here with you!” Princess Yutao stood up sensibly and said with some regret. In fact, she preferred staying and watching the show. But since Chu Qing had asked her to give them some private time, it was inappropriate for her to stay any longer.

Glancing at Chu Qing’s fixed smile, Princess Yutao smiled slightly and left with her servants.

Princess Yuyan looked disapprovingly at Princess Yutao’s back, raised her head slightly, and asked, “If you have something to say, go ahead!”

She had asked Commandery Prince Qing to come over, but she just mentioned it casually to embarrass Shao Wanru.

“Princess Yuyan, please behave yourself. I don’t care what you are thinking now, but please always remember that you are now in the Kingdom of Dongcang, not in your Xu State. Everything has to be done according to the rules of the Kingdom of Dongcang. If you break the rules, you will suffer the consequences!” Chu Qing came here with pent-up anger. When Princess Yutao left, he could no longer control his anger. He looked up, glaring at Princess Yuyan.

Princess Yuyan didn’t expect Chu Qing to flare up as soon as he spoke up. She was stunned for a moment and flew into a rage. When she furiously banged the table, she almost knocked over the teacup on the table. “Chu Qing, what do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Don’t you know that? You have no right to arrange my people. Even if you marry into my mansion as my legal life, Qiuyi will be my secondary legal wife. Her status won’t be that inferior to yours.” After coming back from the Prince Chen’s Mansion with a deep sense of grievance, he felt a sharp annoyance at this time.

But Princess Yuyan still pretended not to know anything about it. Seeing that, Chu Qing exploded with rage and also smacked his hand onto the table, knocking the teacup over.

“You… you… Chu Qing, you… Do you think I want to marry you, a good-for-nothing? Look at yourself in the mirror… If you weren’t… I…” Princess Yuyan was so angry that her face changed significantly. She stood up, pointed at Chu Qing, and scolded harshly.

A Nanny standing near her saw that the situation was going wrong. She hurried forward, pulled her back, and whispered, “Your Highness, please be careful with your words!”

This Nanny was a trusted subordinate sent by Consort Li. Seeing her, Princess Yuyan immediately came to her senses and zipped her mouth, but her face was still livid with rage. Eying Chu Qing’s somber face, she said, “What on earth do you mean by saying that? As soon as you came in, you began criticizing me. What have I done wrong? You rushed here tonight and can’t stop blaming me!”

The hidden meaning in her words scared Chu Qing. His face turned very gray, but finally, he sobered up. “You visited the Prince Chen’s Mansion and pleaded with Prince Chen to invite me here. Am I right?”

...

“So what? You didn’t show up these days. What do you mean?” Princess Yuyan’s heart jumped, but she refused to admit defeat and asked in reply.

“Why would you ask Prince Chen to interfere in my affairs? I’ve been occupied with too many things, and Prince Chen has domineered over me for a long time. Don’t you think all of this is not enough?” Chu Qing composed himself and snapped. His eyes ran down the hall — only his and Princess Yuyan’s reliable servants were there. He hissed at her, “Do you want to push us into serious trouble?”

After saying that, he looked at Princess Yuyan coldly. They were in the same boat, and neither could get away alone.

His words choked her off.

Princess Yuyan’s trusted Nanny helped her sit down. After making tea for them again, she retreated and guarded outside the door. Just now, she saw Princess Yutao’s personal guard passing the door. Princess Yuyan was so careless! How could she dare to say such words when no one was guarding the door?

When the Nanny thought of the meaning of Princess Yuyan’s words, her back was covered with cold sweat!

How could she say these life-threatening words? She had been following Princess Yuyan to the Kingdom of Dongcang, but now, she couldn’t help feeling worried. She only hoped the two masters inside could talk nicely and not cause any other trouble…
