138: Sudden Invitation

Sudden Invitation

Ruan Yu smiled. "You still don't know that child, Churan. She's not angry with you at all. She just told me that she had to come and see you. She was worried that something had happened to you."0

Xia Jingtian nodded in satisfaction. "Churan has always been a good child, unlike Xia Muqing. She only knows how to infuriate me. If she had promised me yesterday, I wouldn't have suffered today."

Hearing him mention Xia Muqing, Ruan Yu's eyes flashed and she had an idea. She asked, "Is it because King Zhennan doesn't want to admit it?"

Xia Jingtian snorted. "He didn't mention anything at all. He embarrassed me in front of the other ministers today."

Ruan Yu didn't frown. After learning what had happened, she comforted him again before she left.

After she left, she made her way to Xia Churan's room. When she entered, she dismissed all the servants, leaving only Xia Churan. She said to her, "Your father failed today. King Zhennan doesn't want to acknowledge this matter. We have to do it ourselves."

Xia Churan nodded, her eyes filled with determination.

They looked at each other and smiled. They weren't worried at all. They hadn't placed all their bets on Xia Jingtian previously, and they had already expected him to fail. They had prepared a backup plan. Since King Zhennan crefused, they would use Xia Muqing.

At this moment, Xia Muqing was training the black eagle in the courtyard. She had no idea that the mother and daughter had evil designs on her again.

"Black eagle, come here," Xia Muqing shouted.

The black eagle standing a distance away, was still covered with a black cloth. It stood in the middle of the courtyard while Xia Muqing ran around the courtyard. Her purpose was to train the black eagle to quickly identify directions despite its blindness.

Hearing its master's voice, the black eagle quickly turned its head. In the time that its eyes couldn't see, its sense of hearing had changed and it became even more sensitive. Soon, it located Xia Muqing and rushed over to her happily.

Xia Muqing quickly stepped forward and stopped it. "Run slowly next time. If I didn't stop you, you would have hit the wall by now."

The black eagle rubbed its head against Xia Muqing without a hint of fear.

Xia Muqing sighed and didn't lecture it anymore. After all, they had just started training. She should take her time.

A servant suddenly came to report, "First Young Mistress, Prince Yu's princess consort sent an invitation."

Xia Muqing was stunned. Prince Yu's consort?

Xia Chuxing?

She opened the invitation and sure enough, it was signed by Xia Chuxing. There was a simple sentence written on it.

Tomorrow at Shining Fortune Restaurant, I have an important matter to discuss.

Worried that Xia Muqing wouldn't come, she even added a line at the bottom: You'll definitely be interested in this.

Xia Muqing looked at the invitation in her hand and was puzzled. What was Xia Chuxing trying to do?

Since she was interested, she decided to go take a look. After all, she must have some skill or hidden trick, since she was able to stay alive for so long after marrying Prince Yu.

The next afternoon, Xia Muqing went out after making preparations. Just as she left the Xia residence, someone reported to Xia Churan and Ruan Yu.

"She is meeting Chuxing today. Our opportunity awaits," Ruan Yu said.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with ruthlessness and determination.

Xia Muqing left the Xia residence but she didn't head to Shining Fortune Restaurant. Instead, she stopped at a pawnshop at the corner of West Street. She walked in and took out the jade pendant on her neck to the shopkeeper. She asked, "Shopkeeper, what is this jade pendant?"

The pawnshop staff took the jade and shook his head. "Miss, this jade is worthless. It's useless."
