Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Muqing asked, “How can we work together?”

Xia Chuxing smirked and said, “We have a common enemy.”

Without waiting for her to speak, she continued, “The mother and daughter of the Xia family want to bring you down, and I can work with you.”

Xia Muqing wasn’t fooled by her offer and quipped, “We seem to be enemies too.”

Xia Chuxing didn’t deny and admitted, “Yes, I do hate you, but I hate that mother and daughter more than you do. We’re already enemies to begin with. I admit that I wasn’t capable enough and I fell for your schemes. But what about that mother and daughter? I’m their family. How could they treat me like this!”

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. At this moment, she resembled that Xia Chuxing from back then.

Xia Muqing smiled and said, “You came to look for me just to tell me this? I don’t think it’s necessary. They aren’t qualified to deal with me.”

With that, she left.

After she left, Xia Chuxing’s expression changed. She was no longer angry and instead, she looked calm.

A young maid walked in and asked, “Princess Consort, Xia Muqing is not easy to deal with.”

Xia Chuxing smirked wryly, “Yeah. Let’s wait to see both sides suffer losses. When the time comes, it’ll be our turn to strike.”

The young maid handed over the letter in her hand and said, “Princess Consort, this is a letter from your mother.”

Xia Chuxing opened it and smiled mockingly. “That woman still hasn’t forgotten to use me.”

Her eyes darted around and she said, “Go and hand this to Xia Muqing. Say that it’s a token of my sincerity.”

The girl took the letter from her and nodded before walking out.

Before Xia Muqing could walk out of Shining Fortune Restaurant, she bumped into Xia Churan. As the main character in the rumors, she attracted everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.

“Sister,” she shouted.

No one noticed Xia Muqing initially. But after she shouted, everyone looked at her.

With both parties involved in the rumors present, the number of onlookers increased.

Xia Muqing nodded and wanted to leave.

Xia Churan grabbed her and cried, “I have no intention of snatching King Zhennan away from you.”

Her confession jolted the crowd who were initially disappointed that Xia Muqing was preparing to leave. It seemed that the two daughters of the Xia family weren’t on good terms. They wondered who King Zhennan would like more?

Xia Muqing frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

Xia Churan didn’t answer her. Instead, she cried, “I didn’t want to steal His Highness from you… He did such a thing… I really don’t have the dignity to live anymore.”

Her accusation was vague, and the confused crowd began to wonder what King Zhennan had done.

Xia Muqing wasn’t in a hurry to leave now. She crossed her arms and watched her performance.

Xia Chuxing, who was standing on the second floor, also looked at Xia Churan, who was crying in the crowd. She was aware that her sister was a good actress. However, she didn’t expect her sister to use this tactic on her.

Hence, what she had just told Xia Muqing was true. Compared to her hatred towards Xia Muqing, she hated the mother-daughter pair even more.

Xia Churan continued, “Sister, don’t be angry. I don’t dare to steal His Highness from you.”

She kept repeating this sentence, making everyone feel that Xia Muqing didn’t want her to marry King Zhennan. Everyone assumed that Xia Muqing had done something.

Xia Muqing laughed. “If you want to marry King Zhennan, you should look for Ye Qingxuan. Why are you looking for me?”

Hearing her call King Zhennan’s name, jealousy and hatred flashed across Xia Churan’s eyes. When she looked up, her face was delicate and teary. “Sister, wasn’t it your wish that King Zhennan wouldn’t dare to see me?”

Today, she wanted to make use of the public opinion to force Xia Muqing to bring her into the King’s royal residence. Since she couldn’t meet King Zhennan, she would use Xia Muqing.. This was the second plan she and Ruan Yu had come up with.
