“As you wish, master, I’ll leave you in peace.” Murong Qingyan unhurriedly, patted her clothes and left the study with great ease.

Staying alone in the study, Murong Xiong was breathing hard and so furious that he nearly fell down in a faint. Never had he expected Murong Qingyan would refuse his request relentlessly and even threatened him.

His foreboding was accurate that even if Murong Qingyan got the first place in the family competition, she couldn’t be used by Murong family. Was it a blessing or a curse for such a person to stay in Murong family?

Thinking of this, killing intent arose in Murong Xiong’s eyes. If one day Murong Qingyan became a threat to Murong family, he wouldn’t treat her with mercy.

No one knew what happened when Murong Qingyan was in the study. But they heard master’s yell. Therefore, they all figured that Murong Qingyan must have had irritated master.

Sure enough, Murong Qingyan’s treatment in Murong family didn’t change at all. People would think, Murong Qingyan got the first place in the family competition and gained the repute of the first family for her family, so she should get a higher status. But her treatment was as usual.

But obviously, Murong Qingyan didn’t care about it. She still stayed in her yard. But what she was doing everyday was unknown, and they were not interested either.

Lots of people believed she was too ashamed to face anyone because she irritated the master, so she stayed in her yard.

As for the engagement to Nangong family, it was solved after the master visited Nangong family. The engagement between Nangong Ye and Murong Qingxue was still valid. The two families still formed a marriage alliance.

On hearing the news, Murong Qingyan was very excited and nearly jumped out of her bed, “Is that true? My engagement to brother Ye still counts?”

“How could it be fake?” Liu Mei now also smiled and said in a delighted voice, “Right now master sent someone over to say that you need to keep health and then marry Nangong family. Master also asked them to send lots of medicine to you.”

“Things has been settled.” The shadow in Murong Qingxue’s heart disappeared and she looked quite refreshed, “I can marry brother Ye and be the mistress of Nangong family.”

These days, she kept sending letters to Nangong Ye but got no reply. Her nearly had a meltdown but today she got the good news that her engagement to brother Ye was still valid.

“Of course.” Liu Mei patted Murong Qingxue’s hands and advised with a smile, “So the most important thing for you is to keep healthy, then you’ll marry in Nangong family happily.”

Liu Mei said that in order to encourage Murong Qingxue. But she didn’t expect Murong Qingxue’s face clouded when she heard that.

“Xue, what’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Seeing Murong Qingxue’s face, Liu Mei was worried, “I’ll ask for a pharmacist for you .”

With it Liu Mei was about to stand up and let someone send for a pharmacist. But when she stood up, Murong Qingxue held her back.

“No. I’m ok.” Murong Qingxue’s voice was extraordinarily cold.

“All right. I’m worried about you.” Liu Mei patted her chest, “Why do you suddenly look sullen? I thought you were uncomfortable.”

“My injuries have recovered already.” Murong Qingxue said in a low voice, with a little depressed expression on her face, “But until now, I still can’t cultivate. I can’t wield dark power. If I can’t recover, they’ll find that I’m a good-for-nothing soon.”

“Then my engagement will be canceled anyway. If not, the person that marries him won’t be me. Nangong family won’t take a good-for-nothing for their mistress.”

Hearing what Murong Qingxue said, Liu Mei’s heart sank. Indeed, it was the most serious matter now. The engagement would be changed if Xuer couldn’t cultivate.

“Xue, don’t worry, you’ll recover soon.” Liu Mei looked vicious that moment, as if she was planning a conspiracy, “I’ll never let you become a good-for-nothing.”

Definitely, her daughter would never be a good-for-nothing. Only Murong Qingyan was a good-for-nothing. Her daughter must be the most talented person.

“What are you up to?” A premonition flashed through Murong Qingxue’s heart.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do nothing.” Liu Mei comforted her, “I’ll keep my hands clean  even if I’m really up to something.”
