Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Master Xia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected, “Then come with us to take a look.”

The three of them stood up and strode towards Xia Muqing’s courtyard.

Hearing that, Xia Muqing quickly returned to the courtyard.

With an impish smile, she recalled the makeup that had shocked her in the beginning. She then painted herself with something that she couldn’t even bear to look at herself.

She had just finished painting when the three of them arrived.

Old Master Xia was still feeling fearful. He didn’t dare to barge in this time and only ordered a servant to enter.

After the servant entered, he ran out in a hurry with panic written all over his face. His face looked as white as if there was a ghost chasing after him.

The few of them didn’t understand why, but they understood when they saw Xia Muqing walking out.

The matchmaker covered her chest and looked as if she was shocked. She pointed at Xia Muqing and asked, “Is that your definition of pretty?”

After saying that, her expression darkened and she stormed off.

Old Master Xia growled angrily, “What are you doing!”

Ruan Yu also gritted her teeth and said, “Muqing, you’re not behaving like a young lady.”

Xia Muqing grinned. Her face, which looked like a ghost, was even more disgusting.

She asked, “Isn’t this the makeup you’ve been asking me to put on every day?”

Ruan Yu couldn’t utter a retort.

The two of them stormed off angrily. She had ruined everything today.

Xia Muqing slowly removed her makeup.

Before removing her makeup, she glanced at her reflection in the water and closed her eyes. She was really too ugly!

After staying with the Xia family for a few days, Xia Muqing went out as she was feeling bored.

This time, she didn’t wear a mask. Anyway, Xia Muqing had paint and makeup on her face previously, so no one could recognize her original appearance.

She passed by a teahouse and overheard a storyteller telling a story. She then walked in.

Little did she expect that someone had caught a good look at her.

Sitting in the restaurant opposite was an old man with a feminine appearance.

His lustful narrow eyes were fixated on the spot Xia Muqing had just stood.

He asked, “Which family is that beauty from?”

The servant had also seen the beautiful face that disappeared in a flash. He frowned and pondered for a while. “I haven’t seen this person in the capital city.”

That man’s expression didn’t reveal any emotions. “Do you know what to do?”

The servant nodded. He had done this sort of thing too often. He knew what his master meant without needing to explain.

After Xia Muqing listened for a while, she left after paying the bill.

She passed by a noticeboard and stopped.

On it was a notice that King Zhennan had offered a fortune to seek medical help.

King Zhennan was the warrior god of the country. He was supposed to be deeply loved and respected by his countrymen for protecting his country. But because of his cruel personality, he was loved and hated by everyone and known as the King of Hell.

After Xia Muqing took another glance, she stopped paying attention to it.

She returned to the Xia residence.

When she reached the entrance, she felt that something was amiss and so, she turned around.

When she didn’t see anyone around, she walked in.

When the people at the entrance saw her, they all called her Third Young Mistress.

The man who followed Xia Muqing watched as she entered the Xia residence. After knowing that she was the third daughter, he slipped away.

At Prince Yu’s residence.

A servant bowed his head and reported to Prince Yu, “She is the third daughter of the Xia family.”

The Xia family?

King Yu was deep in thought.

They didn’t pay much attention to the third daughter of the Xia family, who was reportedly an ugly girl.

The servant noticed his expression and went to make arrangements.

The exclusive imperial matchmaker from Prince Yu’s residence was summoned to the residence.

That’s right, the matchmaker was exclusive.

Because he had married too many women, he decided to hire a permanent matchmaker.

For such a major client, the matchmaker was naturally always available.

That servant became much more arrogant towards the matchmaker. “Prince Yu has taken a liking to the young mistress of the Xia family.”

The matchmaker was shocked.

Last time, the Xia family had caused such a huge commotion and she was still angry. She didn’t expect Prince Yu to be thinking about their daughter.

She immediately asked, “May I know which young mistress does he fancy?”

The servant answered, “The third young mistress of the Xia family.”
