~End of chapter 52

Ming Zhu remembered Zhao Zhi’s birthday. In her previous life, she always used to prepare a birthday gift for him every year with her own hands. But Zhao Zhi every year would always celebrate his birthday in the palace before coming over later, that was why many of her gifts ended up being smashed by her own hands.

She lowered her face, pretending to be shy, “I ordered a custom-made glass colored hairpin in the jewelry store a few days ago, can you go fetch it for me this afternoon?”

Biying nodded, “Mmh, alright.”

Ming Zhu was deliberately distracting Biying by sending her away on a mission, so that later when she returns and finds out she is missing, it would already be too late to find her even if she dispatches people to look for her.

As for Biying, she never could have imagined that Ming Zhu still had the mind to escape. In her opinion, the way His Highness was treating miss Ming Zhu was already very good.

Chapter 53

(19.2)

The lanterns had been replaced everywhere in the Ming residence as the servants were busy preparing fireworks and firecrackers that were going to be used for tonight.

The residence was a lively sight, it was a festive atmosphere.

The few young children of the third branch of the family who were usually naughty and mischievous were running madly towards Ming Zhu’s courtyard with their kites, shouting loudly and making a lot of noise.

“Little sister, fly the kite higher !”

“This courtyard is too small, they said not to come here, I hate the fifth sister.”

“I hate her too, my mother also told me not to talk to her.”

Those were children’s words, they would say out loud whatever was on their mind.

The kite was flying too high up, thus when the spring wind blew, the kite string suddenly snapped in mid-air.

The children started jumping around in impatience, chattering and shouting incessantly.

Hearing the noise, Ming Zhu came out.

The children weren’t afraid of her and naturally instructed her, “Hurry up and help us take down the kite hanging from the tree.”

Ming Zhu thought for a moment, “I don’t know how to climb trees.”

The children grunted, “You liar.”

The children of the third branch didn’t like Ming Zhu, and Ming Zhu didn’t like them either.

She added, “You guys ask someone to come pick it up on your own.”

The snow that fell a few days ago had already been melted by the spring sunlight. On the branches of the trees, new shoots were growing, swaying in the wind.

The children were still dressed very warmly, wearing small boots and luxurious clothes, their faces were round and tender white from being coddled since birth and they looked just like those chubby dolls that were drawn on new years pictures. However, the way they were raised made their character somewhat haughty and openly domineering.

“I want you to pick it up for us, or I’m going to tell dad that you’re bullying us.”

Ming Zhu indifferently said “oh” , she wasn’t their servant and of course wasn’t afraid of that trick of theirs.

“Go ahead then.”

Not far from there, old maidservants were looking for them. In the blink of an eye, the young masters and young ladies had disappeared and right now they were feeling very anxious while looking for them.

Hearing the voices in Ming Zhu’s courtyard, Ming Ru came over with her maidservants, her tone was harsh as she said, “Aren’t you going to quickly take the young masters and young ladies out !”

“Sister Ru, our kite is still here!” He took the opportunity to tattle on Ming Zhu, hoping to get big sister Ru to teach her a good lesson, “She wouldn’t pick up our kite and was also mean to us.”

Ming Ru shot a look to the maidservants beside them and they hurriedly left the courtyard with the children in their arms.

Ming Zhu sensed that the gaze Ming Ru used to stare at her was very hostile. The two of them remained silent for a moment before her legitimate sister surprisingly, without saying anything, just turned around and walked away.

Ming Ru now also didn’t dare to make any move, she far underestimated the weight of Ming Zhu in the crown prince’s heart, the junzhu only kicked her twice and ordered that cheap b*tch to kneel for a few hours, and yet the crown prince exploded in rage and immediately cancelled the marriage.

This really frightened Ming Ru who fell ill with a high fever after she came back from the palace. She had to drink medicine for two days to finally get better.

If she still wanted to marry the crown prince as his side consort, she definitely couldn’t get herself involved and touch his person.

However, whenever she thought of the future, of that time when she would really be married into the crown prince palace, though she would be the crown prince’s side consort she still wouldn’t be able to touch Ming Zhu, she really couldn’t bear this grievance.

Her mother advised her to endure it no matter what.

Ming Ru thought with hatred, that day in the palace, why couldn’t the junzhu directly kill Ming Zhu? That way both sides would have been destroyed and she would be the one to benefit from it.

But no matter how resentful she was, Ming Ru could only swallow that resentment into her stomach.

After Ming Ru was gone, Ming Zhu turned to Biying and asked, “Isn’t my big sister getting engaged soon? Why does she still look so unhappy ?”

Biying also found it strange, she shook her head to indicate that she did not know either.

“But that day, after the crown prince came back from the palace with you in his arms, he immediately cancelled the marriage with the junzhu.”

Biying lifted her eyes to observe Ming Zhu’s expression, but there wasn’t any change in her expression.

Ming Zhu didn’t feel too affected by the news of their broken engagement and just stood quietly under the sun, without saying a word.

Biying asked curiously, “Miss, aren’t you happy?”

After all, it was for her that the crown prince broke his engagement with the junzhu.

Ming Zhu came back to her senses and pointed at herself, “Me?”

“Hmm.”

“I’m fine.”

Ming Zhu had a clear understanding of the matter. Even if Zhao Zhi didn’t marry the junzhu, someday in the future, he will select another high-born legitimate daughter of a noble clan to be his main wife.

Zhao Zhi disdained her birth origin, he only felt sexual desire towards her, he wasn’t genuinely in love.

Biying looked anxious, “His Highness broke his engagement because the junzhu hurt you.”

Ming Zhu smiled weakly, “No, he didn’t.”

Zhao Zhi regarded her as his object, he was gentle and elegant on the surface, but the tyrannical imperial bloodline was flowing down even to his very bones.

He just didn’t like that someone else touched his property and that was why he got angry.
