Princess Agent: Season 1

Chapter 23

In the study room, Zhuge Huai looked serious and told Zhuge Yue, "Fourth brother, what do you think of this incident?"

It was silent, not a single sound was to be heard. Zhuge Huai furrowed his brow and nudged Zhuge Yue who seemed to be deep in his own thoughts. "Fourth brother?"

"Yes?" Zhuge Yue raised his head and said absently, "King Yan's family is doomed. Yan Xun is in danger."

"Yes, I agree." Zhuge Huai nodded his head and said, "King Yan has very high status and hence easily become the target to be attacked. The Bahuta family eyed the land of Yan Bei a long time ago. This time, the trouble will no doubt be beared by King Yan. In addition, the master of Sheng Jin palace's would rather trust strangers than his own brothers."

Just then, voices were heard outside and it started becoming very noisy. Zhuge Huai asked loudly, "Zhu Yong, what is going on outside? It is very noisy."

"Master, the noise is coming from Tao Ran court. It seems like the seventh lady and Tao Xiang are fighting. The fourth and third ladies have gone to stop them."

Zhuge Huai's face hardened and he said hastily, "There is not a day when they will stop. It is ridiculous."

Zhuge Yue heard and did not respond. Instead, he sipped his tea and bowed his head, without saying a word.

"Master, the third lady wants you and the fourth young master to go to Tao Ran court. She says that there is an emergency and you need to help solve it."

Zhuge Huai suddenly got very angry and said, "What happened that requires us to go down? Are they not embarrassed? Tell them that I have no time."

"Master, the third lady is going to use the family law and wants...wants to kill Tao Ran court's Tao Xiang."

Zhuge Yue put down his teacup and stood up while saying, "Big brother, let's just go. They might really need your help."

Zhuge Huai let out a long sigh and followed him out of the study room.

Tao Ran court was a mess. Every lady was shouting at each other and would not back down. However, in the midst of the hatred and anger, there was a hint of perverse delight - finally, that degrading fox who dared to seduce the master got what she deserved!

The seventh lady arrogantly stood in the middle of the yard and sneered at Tao Xiang, whose clothes were unkempt. She smirked and said, "Who would ever imagine that such a scandal would ever occur in the Zhuge household. The old master has always been treated you well, but this is how you return his kindness? How shameful of you!"

The third lady was only thirty years old. She was covered in fox fur, had very good composure and gave off a very elegant aura. Her face was full of regret and she said, "Tao Xiang, the old master originally said that when he come back, he would make you his concubine. Unfortunately, look at what you have done today? This is not something that would be tolerated."

"Ma'am, why waste your effort talking to her! My opinion, just beat her to death and be done with it. Her existence dirties Our Zhuge household's name."

Tao Xiang's face was pale, her arms were covering her chest while she knelt on the ground. Her clothes were torn and tattered, her eyes had no expression and she was trembling. From time to time, she stole a glance at the man beside her. He was also shaking uncontrollably. His face was even paler than hers.

When Zhuge Yue stepped into Tao Ran court, the situation greeted him. After listening to the seventh lady's explanation, Zhuge's fourth master's eyes had a glint and he started to think intensely.

"First Young Master!" Once Zhu Shun spotted Zhuge Huai, he immediately rushed forward while crying and said, "It was her who seduced me first. She sent me a letter to ask for me. Once I arrived, she started removing her clothes to seduce me. But I clearly remember master and young master's kindness towards me and all I want to do is to serve the Zhuge family. How could I even think of doing such a shameful thing to you? Just now, I was trying hard to reject her. I was, I was wronged. I had no idea what she was up to. This is a misunderstanding."
