World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 137 - How Did it Feel to Like Someone
Chapter 137 How Did it Feel to Like Someone
In the extremely warm hall, Su Muge still felt very cold.
Xia Houmo held her chin tightly while looking at her coldly.
“You don’t want to marry me?”
Before Su Muge could answer, Xia Houmo had released her and stopped looking at her. “Father, I will definitely marry her!”
The imperial edict was announced just a few days ago. But she was holding the death-free golden medallion to annul the engagement of marriage today. After Xia Houkun’s incident, Xia Hourui didn’t want to break his promise again.
He looked at Su Muge coldly and said with a stressful voice. “Su Muge, You can only use your death-free golden medallion once. Even if I grant you the request this time, I can grant you another marriage after I take back the golden medallion. At that time, what can you use to annul the engagement of marriage? Your family’s lives?”
Su Muge gripped the death-free golden medallion in her hand, with his fingertips gradually turning pale.
“Get out! I don’t want to see you!”
Su Muge lowered her eyes to conceal her emotions.
“Please excuse my departure.”
During the process, Xia Houmo didn’t look at her and was even reluctant to see her with his split vision.
Su Muge walked out of the hall without feeling cold, allowing the cold wind to blow on her red cheeks.
On the long palace road, Nangong Ningxin in a snow fox cloak approached.
Seeing Su Muge, Nangong Ningxin walked over with a slight smile.
“Miss Su, nice to meet you again.”
Su Muge stopped and fell her eyes slowly on Nangong Ningxin.
The snow-while cloak on her reflected her skin as delicate as snow. Su Muge fixed her eyes on her face for a long time without looking away.
“Miss Nangong Ningxin.”
Nangong Ningxin was a little surprised and smiled. “How do you know my name, Miss Su?”
Su Muge raised the corner of her lips as if smiling. “The King of Jin told me.”
“The King of Jin? On, it’s Brother Mo …”
Su Muge caught sight of Nangong Ningxin’s bright eyes when it came to Xia Houmo. Su Muge put on a bigger smile.
“Yes, the King of Jin said …”
“Brother Mo, what did he say?”
Su Muge smiled and looked at the porcelain pot in Nangong Ningxin’s hands. “This is for the Emperor’s mother? The porcelain pot is so crystal clear and exquisite.”
“Her Grace likes to eat something soft and glutinous before lunch.”
“It’s so cold now. Miss Nangong, you should hurry up to Her Grace before it gets cold.”
Nangong Ningxin nodded gently. “Miss Su, you’re right. Farewell.”
Su Muge nodded and watched Nangong Ningxin as they went away.
In Huaxi Palace, He Mama lifted the curtain and walked into the room.
The Emperor’s mother was copying Buddhist texts.
He Mama stepped forward and ground ink for her.
“Your Grace, she has already met His Majesty. But the King of Jin has also arrived halfway. I’m afraid he has heard everything.”
The Emperor’s mother finished writing the last stroke, put down the writing brush, took the hot handkerchief from the palace maid, and wiped her hands carefully.
“I thought she was clever, but she’s just so so.”
Those letters were sent by the Emperor’s mother indeed, but she didn’t necessarily want Su Muge to break off the engagement successfully. The Emperor was her son after all. How would she embarrass him?
To annul the engagement of marriage was a shame for both Xia Houmo and Xia Hourui.
If a woman without a solid family background was disliked by her husband, she couldn’t have a good end.
“Your Grace, Miss Nangong is here.”
The Emperor’s mother revealed a slight smile on her smooth face. “Hurry to let the child come in. It’s so cold outside.”
“Your Grace, you like Miss Nangong the most.” He Mama smiled and took a hand warmer. After Nangong Ningxin came in, she handed the hand warmer to her.
“Miss Nangong, you’re finally here. Her Grace has been thinking about you just now.”
Nangong Ningxin handed the porcelain pot to the Emperor’s mother and sat beside her coquettishly.
“Your Grace, I went to cook some millet porridge for you. Your stomach was a bit cold, so it’s best to eat more millet porridge.”
Nangong Ningxin opened the porcelain pot and spooned out a bowl of millet porridge.
“Your Grace, hurry to eat it while it’s still hot.”
The Emperor’s mother smiled. “You are most considerate to me.”
“As long as you are fine, I can rest assured.”
“Well, well, I’ll eat it all.”
After the Emperor’s mother finished the porridge, He Mama served her some hot tea to rinse her mouth.
“Your Grace, a few birds were trapped in the yard a few days ago. I’m afraid that the birds will disturb you. What about releasing them?”
The Emperor’s mother put the teacup down and nodded. “Just a few birds. What can we do with them? Let them go.”
“Yes.”
Nangong Ningxin blinked curiously. “Your Grace, when did the birds fly into Huaxi Palace? I’ll go and see.”
“Just a few birds. It’s so cold outside. If you want to see birds, I’ll find some precious and beautiful ones for you to please.
Hearing the Emperor’s mother’s words, Nangong Ningxin stopped talking about the birds.
He Mama got out of the room, called a palace maid, and whispered something in her ear.
The palace maid nodded and quickly left the Huaxi Palace.
…
Su Muge was sitting on the carriage back to Su Mansion and leaning against the soft cushion with her eyes closed.
She didn’t want to recall her feelings when she heard Xia Houmo’s voice in the hall.
It was strange. Xia Houmo and Xia Houkun were actually not much different; both of them would have wives and concubines in the future. But she had never hesitated when annulling the engagement of marriage with Xia Houkun.
When she learned that she was to marry Xia Houmo, she didn’t think about annulling the engagement of marriage. Was she willing to marry Xia Houmo at the bottom of her heart?
Su Muge felt very upset. Whether she was willing or not, she must have offended Xia Houmo completely!
Escaping the marriage?
What about her mother and brother?
“Miss, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” Yueru was worried when she saw Su Muge’s frown.
Su Muge opened her eyes and looked at Yueru blankly. “Yueru …”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“Tell me, how does it feel to like someone?”
“What? Miss, what are you talking about? How do I know … how it feels…” Yueru’s small face turned red instantly, and she didn’t dare to meet Su Muge’s eyes.
Seeing her shyness, Su Muge chuckled. “Really? Why do you blush if you don’t know?”
“I, I didn’t blush… Miss, please don’t make fun of me. I don’t know anything!” Yueru buried her face into the mat and stopped talking. Su Muge was really afraid that she would suffocate herself.
Su Muge leaned back on the cushion. If she liked someone, she would feel happy at the thought of him and her heartbeat would accelerate at the sight of him no matter how many times she had seen him.
…
“Su Muge, you slut, get out!”
Early the next morning, when Su Muge was still asleep, Su Jingwen clamored outside the door.
“The second Miss, the eldest Miss hasn’t woken up yet. Please wait in the wing-room … Ah!”
“Snap!”
“What are you? How dare you stop me? Believe it or not, I can kill you!”
Su Jingwen slapped Xinlan in her face, and a handprint appeared on Xinlan’s face immediately.
Su Muge had a bad sleep last night and fell asleep at dawn. When she was woken up at this time, she felt very dizzy.
Hearing the movement outside, she sat up from the bed.
The door of her room was slammed open, and Su Jingwen walked in angrily.
“Su Muge, how dare you seduce Second Prince? I tell you, Second Prince won’t like such an inferior bitch as you!”
Hearing Su Jingwen’s words, Su Muge put on a sullen look instantly. “Su Jingwen, what are you doing here early in the morning?!”
“How dare you go to the imperial palace to annul the engagement of marriage. Why? Do you still want to marry Second Prince? I tell you, don’t think about it! Second Prince wants to marry me, not you, Su Muge!”
Su Muge’s pupils shrank. She didn’t tell anyone about her annulling the engagement of marriage in the imperial palace yesterday. Even Yueru didn’t know it. How could Su Jingwen know it so quickly? And … Why did she think she refused to marry Xia Houmo because she couldn’t forget Xia Houkun?!
“Su Jingwen, who told you this?”
Su Jingwen thought that she had seen through Su Muge and sneered, “Su Muge, are you afraid of others knowing it? Now everyone has known that you Su Muge is a shameless bitch!”
The Emperor’s mother was so good at plotting!
Su Muge took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
“Miss, I’m useless and fail to stop the second Miss.”
Su Muge glanced at Xinlan whose face was red and swollen, and looked at Su Jingwen more coldly.
“Su Jingwen, there is something I think you have forgotten.”
Su Jingwen raised her chin and snorted. “What?”
“This is my place. My people are not anyone you can beat as you like!”
“Snap!”
As soon as she finished her words, Su Jingwen was slapped heavily.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and even Su Jingwen was stupefied.
“Su, Su Muge, how dare you beat me?!”
“Yes, do you have the capability to hit back?”
“You, you bitch, I’ll kill you!” Su Jingwen rushed towards Su Muge crazily. Su Muge stepped aside to dodge, lifted her foot and kicked Su Jingwen to the ground.
“Ah!”
“Throw her out. If she comes again, drive her out!” Su Muge was too lazy to get entangled with her.
“Yes.”
The maids staying outside were already eager to take action. Su Muge had always been nice to them, so the maids in Peachblossom Courtyard had all been pulled together. They were clear that they would be fine only if Su Muge was fine.
Su Jingwen was so provocative and irritating, so several maids worked together to drive Su Jingwen and her people out.
