Chapter 65: Choosing One of Them

Of course, Xia Chuxing’s expression turned solemn when she heard the news.

Seeing how determined the Xia family was, Prince Yu relented.

The matchmaker came to them and said, “Old Master Xia, Prince Yu has already shown his greatest sincerity. If you really can’t bear to part with your eldest daughter, send your second daughter over then.”

The matchmaker’s attitude had already turned much more scornful. This time, Prince Yu didn’t want a wife.

Xia Jingtian agreed without hesitation.

The matchmaker continued, “But a woman who lost her chastity before marriage, won’t be accepted and brought in as Prince Yu’s legal wife. We can only accept her as a concubine.”

Xia Jingtian immediately yelled angrily, “You all are going too far.”

Prince Yu’s housekeeper interjected unhappily, “You were the one who breached the contract first. We didn’t pursue you to take responsibility. That is already very generous of Prince Yu. Do you think a used woman like her should be a princess consort?”

Being mocked by a mere housekeeper was also a huge humiliation. He was even more annoyed with Xia Chuxing, who had disgraced him.

The housekeeper continued, “Either Prince Yu takes in the second young mistress as a concubine, or you shall marry the first young mistress to our Prince Yu.”

“We’ll pick her up in three days.” With that, they left.

Xia Churan happened to overhear the conversation and she looked a little dazed.

Unknowingly, she arrived at Xia Chuxing’s room.

Xia Chuxing still couldn’t get off the bed, and her face was pale. The marks on her body when she first came back were shocking.

Xia Churan clenched her fists and met Xia Chuxing’s eyes.

Her expression stiffened. She walked in slowly and asked, “Sister, are you okay?”

Xia Chuxing was a little dazed. When she saw her sister, she felt a surge of hatred.

Her gaze made Xia Churan stumble back.

Xia Chuxing hissed bitterly, “Why didn’t you save me? It’s all your fault that I ended up like this. I hate you, I hate all of you!”

Xia Churan stepped forward and hugged as she cried with her.

Xia Churan said amidst sobs, “Sister, I don’t have a choice. Prince Yu is too powerful. We can’t defeat him. It’s all because of Xia Muqing. If she hadn’t run away from the wedding, you won’t need to replace her, I would have taken the punishment in your place. But Prince Yu specifically said that you had an affair with him previously, so I couldn’t do anything.”

These words touched Xia Chuxing and she turned her attention to Xia Muqing.

Xia Churan knew her sister too well. Her eyes flashed and she said, “Prince Yu is still putting pressure on us. If we have Prince Yu’s power, we wouldn’t have to be afraid of that sl*t Xia Muqing.”

She inched closer to her ear and whispered in an alluring tone, “When that time comes, won’t we be the ones calling the shots? Xia Muqing will have to do whatever we say.”

A strange glint appeared in Xia Chuxing’s eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Churan didn’t continue talking. She just hugged her and sobbed slowly.

Until Xia Chuxing said, “Yeah, why can’t I have the power and influence of Prince Yu?”

After achieving her goal, Xia Churan retreated from her room. There were tears on her face, but there was no sadness in her eyes.

She stood outside the courtyard and looked inside. She said quietly, “Sister, I will avenge you.”

In the afternoon, Xia Chuxing took the initiative to find Ruan Yu and said that she was willing to marry Prince Yu for the Xia family.

Ruan Yu went blank briefly before bursting into tears.

She replied, “Prince Yu said that he can only accept you as a concubine.”

Xia Chuxing’s expression stiffened, and humiliation surged within her. However, she remembered her purpose and so she endured it, nodding in agreement.

That was beyond Ruan Yu’s expectations.

Looking at her daughter’s frail little face, her heart ached for her. She rubbed her daughter’s face and said, “You’ve really become sensible. Prince Yu has really gone too far this time. They insisted on taking you in as a concubine. Otherwise, he would marry your sister instead. He has really gone overboard.”

Unlike Ruan Yu’s anger, Xia Chuxing was stunned. She grabbed her mother’s shoulders tightly and whispered, “What did you just say? Prince Yu said that he wants to Sister?”
