The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 516: Breaking Off Her Thorns

Cui Huai and Hong Jie widened their eyes and looked at each other.

When had their Young Master ever compromised for a woman like this?

Just another pretty woman, yet rude and ignorant of etiquette, blind to reality, and born in the wilds. For the Young Master to marry such a woman is like having a bright pearl covered in dust. Why does the Young Master insist on planting a flower on such a pile of dung?

The two did not understand.

They also felt uneasy. Can such a person be fit to be their future mistress?

However, Huangfu Yuxuan had strict rules. Although they were his personal attendants and wholeheartedly stood by Huangfu Yuxuan’s side, they dared not say much. Especially just now, when Cui Huai was reprimanded and received a cold glare from Huangfu Yuxuan, leaving them in cold sweat.

Xia Wenjin frowned and said, "What kind of marriage arrangement are you talking about? You, as the Imperial Grandson, saw me in a coma and took advantage of it, intending to forcefully rescue me with marriage. Now, what marriage arrangement are you speaking of? Don’t you find it despicable?"

Huangfu Yuxuan: "..."

A strange feeling arose within him. In the eyes of Xia Wanqing and others, he heard that Xia Wenjin was unconscious and Xia Wanqing sought someone for a celebratory marriage, and he actively suggested wanting to marry Xia Wenjin, so in Xia Wanqing’s mind, he seemed righteous, helping others in need, embodying the demeanor of a hero, having the spirit of a righteous man!

Indeed, he occupied this moral high ground, enjoying Haotian Village’s friendliness and gratitude towards him, while achieving his own goals.

But Xia Wenjin’s words pierced through appearances straight to the essence, exposing his intentions without a doubt.

Of course, he heard that Xia Wenjin was unconscious, and needed a husband to bring her good luck, both names matched, and he knew Xia Wenjin was destined to be his Red Simurgh, so he took initiative.

Whether it’s called taking advantage or acting opportunistically, his motives were not pure.

Being revealed by Xia Wenjin, he felt a sense of horror. How to respond was a dilemma, but Xia Wanqing had already rebuked, "Wenjin, what are you saying? Young Master Xuan acts prudently, kind and courteous, helps those in need, and despite not being from Jianghu, possesses the righteous passion of a Jianghu person. Initially, he was clearly helping others, how can you say he’s taking advantage?"

Then he was almost petrified with fear, thinking he was going to lose Jin’er, even those several willing to become Jin’er’s husband were not compatible.

Until Huangfu Yuxuan took the initiative, and his compatibility with Jin’er was a perfect match, Xia Wanqing was almost moved to tears, his gratitude towards Huangfu Yuxuan was beyond words.

Thus, Xia Wenjin’s escape from the marriage left him feeling guilty.

Although Huangfu Yuxuan was bailed out of the marriage, he was neither angry nor prideful, treating the brothers of Haotian Village as he did upon first ascending the mountains, gentle and friendly, courteous with high Martial Arts skills, yet humble, besides Xia Sichen, who in the village didn’t like him?

Now, Huangfu Yuxuan being accused of taking advantage by Xia Wenjin, even made his old face blush, how thankless!

Xia Wenjin rolled her eyes. She understood, everyone believes their own eyes and feelings more, in her father’s and the village brothers’ minds, this crafty Huangfu Yuxuan had reached an extreme potential.

If not for past-life experiences, even if she were conscious, she might also be fooled by Huangfu Yuxuan. Such an outstanding person with a humble demeanor, possessing high Martial Skills yet discreet, tolerant and knightly, who wouldn’t like him?

Her father’s reprimand was something she couldn’t openly oppose despite her inner dissent.

Xia Wanqing said, "Young Master Xuan, Jin’er was spoiled by me from a young age, please don’t mind!"

Huangfu Yuxuan replied courteously, "Uncle Xia, it was my oversight, and just now, in a spur of moment, I said something unpleasant, which infuriated Miss Xia. I’m not sure if Uncle Xia is uncomfortable in that house, with everything fine, why move away?"

Xia Wanqing chuckled and said, "Young Master Xuan, forgive us, the house is indeed comfortable, but we cannot accept something without earning it! Indeed, receiving it makes me feel guilty. Jin’er came and bought the house as a filial act to bring me over. I thought it best to empty the house and return it to Young Master Xuan!"

Huangfu Yuxuan said, "Leave the house to Uncle Xia, Uncle Hua and Uncle Gu could also stay after their duties!"

Xia Wanqing gestured and said, "No need, no need, Young Master can arrange differently, they can stay with me here after their duties!"

Huangfu Yuxuan knew they were adamant. He hadn’t planned on swaying Haotian Village with a mere house, binding their loyalty, so he didn’t insist.

He understood the essence of the matter lay in his marriage to Xia Wenjin.

If the marriage succeeded, Xia Wanqing and the entire Haotian Village would essentially be in his pocket.

The current difficulty was Xia Wenjin’s view of him, almost as if confronting an enemy, dismissing him in every way.

He couldn’t help but doubt, had his status, as one of the Capital City’s young masters most sought after by noble ladies, lost its charm?

He touched the bruised area on his face, it hurt, feeling somewhat annoyed. However, with Xia Wanqing proving his identity before Xia Wenjin, Xia Wenjin can no longer question his status, right?

Thinking of the two beatings suffered and the kick, he even felt his teeth ache. But seeing the bright-eyed and toothy young woman standing next to Xia Wanqing, her stunning beauty, her radiant and graceful figure, seemingly accompanied by an air of nobility and dominance.

Such demeanor, such looks, truly exceptional.

Roses may be beautiful but have thorns, only for him to break each of her thorns.

He smiled and said, "The Capital City recently opened a Yan Zui Xuan restaurant, great wine, delicious dishes! Uncle Xia’s relocation is a good opportunity for me to host, how about trying their culinary skills at Yan Zui Xuan?"

Xia Wanqing laughed heartily and said, "How can I let you treat? I’ve been in the Capital City for several days, benefiting much from Young Master Xuan’s care and intended to express thanks. Let’s go to Yan Zui Xuan then!"

His daughter was rude and unrefined, lashing out suddenly, whereas Young Master Xuan, always courteous and tolerant, despite being treated this way, didn’t show anger, even extending a smile.

Such demeanor, such tolerance, undeniably superior!

Jin’er, really was spoiled by him!

With such thoughts, Xia Wanqing naturally wanted to go with Young Master Xuan to Yan Zui Xuan, hoping over a meal to untangle misunderstandings, even if not entirely resolved, dining together provided more interaction, gaining understanding, and once Jin’er knew Young Master Xuan’s character, she’d likely change her mind.

Thus, he agreed without hesitation.

Xia Wenjin: "..."

She was speechless; after all she did to reach this point, Huangfu Yuxuan hadn’t stormed off in anger yet. His ability to endure had clearly improved!

She changed her demeanor and said, "I’m not going!"
