Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Xia thought about Xia Muqing’s face that resembled her mother’s. She had one of the most beautiful faces in the entire city. Should he really offer her to Prince Yu?

To him, his daughters were just bargaining chips waiting to fetch a high price.

Ruan Yu expounded, “The last time I interacted with a nanny at Prince Yu’s residence, she said that as long as the woman can satisfy Prince Yu, there will be an opening for a first-rank minister…”

Before she could finish speaking, Old Master Xia had already understood her.

A burning desire flashed across his eyes. He had been serving as a second-rank minister for many years. He had long wanted to move up the ranks, but he had never had the opportunity.

If this transaction were to succeed, it would be worth it.

With a smile, he put his arm around Ruan Yu’s waist and said, “You’re the most thoughtful.”

Ruan Yu returned with a smile.

The two of them cuddled for a while.

After Old Master Xia left, Ruan Yu stopped smiling.

The residual pain on her face twisted her expression.

Beside her, Xiaotao stumbled back in fear. The madam had always appeared gentle and kind. Only the people around her knew how ruthless she was.

Ruan Yu looked at her and asked, “Where’s the silver hairpin from earlier?”

Xiao Tao trembled as she handed it to her.

Ruan Yu took it and stabbed it into Xiaotao’s body.

A wail immediately sounded in the room.

Xia Muqing had no idea that she was being schemed against at that moment.

After having their fill, she urged the black eagle to return to the back of the mountain.

She leaped onto the roof and lay on it comfortably, staring up at the moon as she thought about her other life.

She had no idea how sad her teacher and seniors would be after she died.

The next day, the Xia residence was bustling with noise as a joyous-looking woman entered.

The commotion startled even Xia Muqing, who was in her courtyard.

She found it odd and quietly left the room, avoiding everyone. She then made her way to the most bustling place.

The hall.

Old Master Xia sat at the head of the table, while Ruan Yu sat on the right. A middle-aged woman sat on the other side.

The woman had a huge smile on her face, and there was a black mole at the corner of her mouth.

She smiled brightly as she said, “Old Master Xia is really brilliant. I guarantee that as long as your daughter enters Prince Yu’s estate, she will be eating delicacies every day. She will enjoy wealth and status in the prince’s estate. Prince Yu is also very doting. There are many good days ahead.”

The matchmaker really knew how to twist the facts.

Xia Muqing lay on the roof and took in the entire situation inside.

She had some impression of Prince Yu as well. He was an old man who had killed more than ten wives in a row. All his wives had died extremely tragic deaths. He really knew how to ‘dote’ on people.

His love hurt like hell and death.

However, the couple put on a show with the matchmaker and pretended to be clueless.

With a grateful expression, Ruan Yu said, “His daughter is blessed.”

When the matchmaker heard her reply, her smile deepened. “I wonder if you’re preparing to marry your daughter? Is it the eldest or the second daughter?”

Ruan Yu’s smile didn’t change. “It’s the third daughter, Xia Muqing.”

Her words shocked the matchmaker and even Xia Muqing was stunned.

Just now, Xia Muqing had thought that Ruan Yu was really vicious. She wouldn’t even spare her own daughter. It turned out that she was the one who had been implicated.

The matchmaker hesitated. “I’m afraid that won’t do. Our Prince Yu likes beauties.”

She gave them a signal secretly. Everyone knew that the third daughter of the Xia family was ugly and yet, they still dared to send her to Prince Yu? Did the Xia family really want to die?

Ruan Yu smiled and said, “You are unaware, but our Muqing is very beautiful now. Prince Yu will definitely be satisfied.”

The matchmaker was a little startled. “I have to take a look, or I’ll be worried.”

If she really sent an ugly girl to Prince Yu, she wouldn’t be able to keep her life.
