44: Prince Yu's Unique and Intense Taste

Prince Yu's Unique and Intense Taste

The matchmaker's expression stiffened in disbelief.2

She wanted to say something, but the servant had already left.

The corners of her mouth twitched when she recalled how unforgettable the third daughter of the Xia family was, despite their brief meeting.

Did Prince Yu have such a unique and intense taste?

She sighed. Anyway, it was the prince's wish.

Anyway, the lady was someone whom Prince Yu had his eyes on. Since it didn't concern her, the matchmaker headed to the Xia family.

When she arrived at the Xia residence, she announced with a smile, "Congratulations, both of you! Good news for you."

Old Master Xia and Ruan Yu stared at her in puzzlement, not understanding what had happened.

The matchmaker smiled brightly. "I've already settled the matter of you wanting to marry your daughter to Prince Yu."

She didn't mention about the previous time she had a falling out with them, and simply stated the outcome.

Old Master Xia frowned. "Didn't you—"

"Eh, what happened last time? Old Master Xia, this is a rare opportunity. As long as Third Young Mistress enters Prince Yu's residence, will you still need to fret about the benefits that come along?"

The few of them smiled slyly.

And so, the matter was decided.

The matchmaker settled the matter and quickly returned to Prince Yu's residence.

Prince Yu smiled in satisfaction. "You're still as efficient as before. This is expected of the number one matchmaker in the capital."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "It's all because of your fame. When I said that it was you, they immediately agreed."

Prince Yu's smile grew wider.

He waved his hand and got someone to deliver the reward.

Greed flashed across the matchmaker's eyes as she thanked him profusely before she left the residence.

Once she left, the smile on King Yu's face disappeared.

Then, a strange expression appeared on his face.

He quickly walked to the back of the cabinet in the study and pushed it open. There was a secret door behind it.

As he proceeded inside, his expression grew more excited. And in the end, he began to tremble.

The room behind the secret door was filled with all sorts of weird tools. There were traces of blood on them, and it made one tremble with fear.

A hint of fire flashed across King Yu's eyes. He touched these torture devices as if he was touching a treasure.

In the Xia residence, Old Master Xia was feeling elated and so, he stayed in Ruan Yu's room for lunch.

The family of four enjoyed themselves.

Old Master Xia didn't feel any anger or hatred when he saw Xia Chuxing. Although he remained indifferent, he still allowed her to sit.

Xia Chuxing sat down looking aggrieved, and she didn't dare to utter a sound.

Xia Churan eased the tension and asked with a smile, "Father, is there anything you're happy about?"

Old Master Xia was still very satisfied with her. He nodded with a smile and said, "Your third sister is going to marry and enter Prince Yu's residence. In the future, our Xia family will officially be connected to the royal family."

Xia Chuxing exclaimed, "Xia Muqing is going to marry Prince Yu?!"

Old Master Xia gave an aloof grunt.

At this moment, Xia Chuxing didn't mind his aloofness at all and was immersed in joy and satisfaction.

Xia Muqing… to think that she would have such a day.

The smile on Xia Churan's face gradually grew wider, and she exchanged a glance with Ruan Yu.

She quickly tried to cheer Old Master Xia up.

After Xia Chuxing came out of Ruan Yu's courtyard, she rushed to Xia Muqing's courtyard excitedly.

When she arrived at the dilapidated courtyard, she remembered that Xia Muqing didn't live here anymore.

She turned around and walked towards the little courtyard in the depths of the Xia residence.

As soon as she entered, jealousy flashed across her eyes.

This was the best courtyard in the Xia family, yet Xia Muqing was staying here.

However, when she thought of her miserable life in the future, the injustice in her heart subsided.

Xia Muqing studied the strange smile on Xia Chuxing's face and she felt nervous.

She asked, "What do you want?"

Xia Chuxing, who snapped back to reality, was startled to see Xia Muqing standing so close to her.

Then she looked at her face again. There was no longer jealousy as she said with contempt. "Sister, your face is really beautiful!"

Xia Muqing didn't speak and waited for her to continue.

Indeed, she added, "Even Prince Yu is attracted to you."

Xia Muqing frowned. Didn't that matchmaker of Prince Yu's, already left because of her fright?
