Chapter 494 "Breaking the Engagement (2)"

Feng Shen actually let that woman, sleep with him? He wouldn't let me even get close to him when we were together back then, how could he do this to me…. Making a mournful smile, the girl could no longer hold back those tears as she fled the manor.

Towards this scene, Housekeeper Mu could only shake his head. He didn't want to say things so bluntly and hurt the girl, but a short pain was better than a long one. He only hopes the lady would wake up from the situation and move on.

By evening, Feng Shen has returned from his trip into the palace.

“My lord, you've guessed it right, the Sacred Maiden came as you predicted. As per your instructions, I've told her exactly what you told me and had her leave. I doubt she would continue entangling herself with us again after all that." Showing admiration in his old eyes, Mr. Mu wanted to applaud the boy for being so capable.

My engagement with Xue Pian Ran is a real mistake. The matter now involves the relations.h.i.+p between the royal family and the Dan palace, it will be difficult.

“Can it be, the king didn't agree to your request?" Full of anxiousness in his old face, Mr. Mu hurries to ask.

“Not exactly. The condition is that I must prove Ling Yue is the most suitable woman for me. The king wants me to marry them both into my home, and whoever can give me the first son will be the future mistress of the household." As he said this, Feng Shen's face grew increasingly heavy like he's stressed by the situation.

Take both Ye Ling Yue and Xue Pian Ran? Mr. Mu was shocked, What sort of idea is this? But then again, it made sense after putting into consideration for everything.

Feng Shen has a special const.i.tution, making him unable to copulate with any random woman, that much was clear to everyone. Therefore, the candidates for a proper wife was miniscule to begin with. If careful considerations weren't in order, it might spell the end for this Phoenix Manor and all its glory, that's something the king wouldn't permit no matter how favorable Feng Shen was.

“Highness, you mustn't violate the king's will. Perhaps we can do as the sire says and take in the Sacred Maiden as well. If you don't like, you just don't have to touch her. Then after some time, maybe a year, Miss Ye would don you a son then all problems would be solved." After weighing all the pros and cons, this was the best suggestion Mr. Mu could come up with.

Understanding the temperament of his young lord, the elder figured its pointless to continue persuading the boy.

"We will leave the matter alone for now. For the time being, keep it a secret between us only. Oh right, where is Ling Yue right now?" Only at the thought of the girl did a smile escape the boy's lip.

He's been missing her dearly while in the palace. From that peachy lip, to that slender arm, he wanted to reengage that rude act he carried out on her again.
