[Book 1] The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 4 - 5 Pranking Rich Playboys

Chapter 4

"There are a few blocks between the Marquis' Mansion and here. By the time you bring the money, the sky would be dark, how are we going to fight dogs then?" Xu Tianan casually said, lazily.

Murong Ye's face darkened, "My money has been used up, and the dog fighting arena and gambling stakes do not allow credit. If I don't go back to redraw money, how am I to continue competing with you?"

"You can use the pretty lady behind you as collateral!" Xu Tianan looked diagonally behind Xurong Ye, smiling sinisterly.

Pretty lady? What pretty lady?

Murong Ye looked behind him confused and blankly only to see Murong Xue standing two meters away looking faintly at him. His heart jumped, "Sister, what you doing here?"

Sister?! Xu Tianan did a double-take. When he saw Shuang Xi respectfully following behind her, he had thought that she was Murong Ye's little lover. He never expected her to be Murong Ye's sister, the one who is engaged to Prince Jing, Ye Chenyi.

Rumors have it that she has a serious illness and weak constitution. And that she lived deep in the mansion and seldom showed her face. He didn't expect her to be such a beauty.

"I was passing by and saw you here, so I came in."

Murong Xue's cold voice travelled through one's eyes and hit straight to the heart. Xu Tianan's heart fluttered. His brother Xu Tianyou often followed at the side of Prince Jing. According to him, Prince Jing does not like this fiancée of his and even intends to demote her to a lowly concubine. If he humiliates her, does that give Prince Jing a reason to demote her to concubine? When that happens, and Prince Jing is happy, Prince Jing might even give him a reward!

He would have gotten the lady and the Prince Jing's praise. Definitely a worthy proposition!

Xu Tianan's eyes brightened and sinisterly sized up Murong Xue from top to bottom. She's so dedicate and pretty; that body is definitely delicious and soft. He really felt like taking her into his arms and harshly ravage her, "Murong Ye, don't talk about sibling love. Hurry and give me a firm word on whether you are going to use her as your collateral..."

"Xu Tianan, watch your mouth. This is my sister, not an item, how can I use as collateral?" Murong Ye sharply interrupted him, his face black till it could almost drip ink.

Xu Tianan was unconcerned, "What sister? It's just a girl, money-losing goods; what's there to be precious about? If I were you, I'll immediately use her as collateral to exchange for a few thousand taels, pick a good dog, and earn back my ego. And when the servants bring back the money, then just redeem her..."

"I am not as inhuman as you as to sacrifice my sister's reputation to just to fight dogs," Murong Ye's face filled with anger. If the proud Marquis' Household's Young Mistress is used like an item for collateral at a colosseum, the public's cynicism would be enough to drown her. Wherever she would go, she would be laughed at till she's unable to look up.

"Stop sounding so righteous. I think you're just scared of losing!" Xu Tianan leaned against the fence and looked sideways to Murong Ye, eyes filled with arrogance, "You are afraid that your taste is so bad that even if you choose a hundred dogs, you wouldn't be able to win me by a single round. By then, you would have lost your sister and your face..."
