Three years later, after a low-key yet luxurious wedding, Princess Jing of the Prince's Mansion married and became Madam Liu.
Young Master Liu and his wife spent a wonderful year at Shengxue Manor. But in the autumn of that year, they had to leave Shengxue Manor and go to Prince Jing's Mansion.
The reason is simple: the Xia Dynasty is about to celebrate its fortieth birthday.
Over the years, thanks to Liu Nianfeng's care and recuperation, Feng Guang's health has improved considerably. His previously pale complexion has become much rosier, and he has never suffered from heartache again. Even though Xia Chao was dissatisfied with Liu Nianfeng, he couldn't help but feel grateful to him. Of course, he would never express this gratitude.
On the day of the birthday banquet, many court officials came. Since the Xia Dynasty was essentially a part-time martial arts world, many martial arts figures also came.
Everyone knows that the Fourth Prince was originally engaged to the Princess, but later, he broke off the engagement on the grounds that he was unable to have children...
Xuan Yuanfei could only use this reason. He couldn't drag Leng Qingjue into it, otherwise his father and his political enemies would not let Leng Qingjue off the hook. Moreover, Xia Chao's letter to him made it clear that he could not allow the annulment of the engagement to cause any damage to Xia Fengguang's reputation. So, under the instigation of his friend, the Prime Minister, he could only choose this reason.
As for what happens later... if he marries Leng Qingjue and she becomes pregnant, Xuan Yuanfei will not consider that topic for the time being.
Xuan Yuanfei didn't want to attend the Xia Dynasty's 40th birthday celebration, but he couldn't resist his father's order, so he had no choice but to shamelessly bring gifts and come to the banquet as a token gesture.
What did he see?
He saw Leng Qingjue standing with two other men, and he recognized one of them: Xian Hui, the current emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom, and Sima Sang, the great general of Nanxiang Kingdom.
Xuan Yuanfei walked over, and Leng Mian pulled Leng Qingjue away from Xianhui. He said, "How did you end up here with them?"
Leng Qingjue said, "Today is the 40th birthday of the Xia Dynasty. As the former second young lady of the Prince Jing's Mansion, I have to come and join in the fun."
"And what about them? How did they appear?"
Xianhui walked over, coughed a few times, and said weakly, "I also came to offer my birthday wishes today, but I happened to run into Miss Leng."
Xian Hui's long-standing ailment had actually been cured by Leng Qingjue, but he habitually adopted this weak posture to make his enemies lower their guard.
Xuan Yuanfei didn't look at Xian Hui. He lowered his voice and said to Leng Qingjue, "You shouldn't be here today."
"Why not?" Leng Qingjue sneered. She was now the head of the largest assassin organization in both countries. In addition, she had encountered many fortuitous events in the past three years and captured countless spirit beasts. She was no longer the same as before, and her cultivation was practically heaven-defying. "What the Prince Jing's Mansion owed me before, I will take back today!"
"Have you forgotten how you left here three years ago?"
“I haven’t forgotten,” Leng Qingjue said. “If it weren’t for their sneak attack… Hmph, despicable villains, today, I will definitely avenge my mother.”
Xianhui sighed, "Alas, Miss Leng's mother was such a loving mother... It's truly a pity."
Unlike Xianhui, who knew nothing, Xuanyuan Fei showed no emotion whatsoever.
It turned out that three years ago, after Leng Qingjue said he wanted to sever ties with the Prince's Mansion, Huang Ying naturally had no face to stay there. She moved out of the mansion, but fell ill with depression and soon passed away. Huang Ying's death was a blow to Leng Qingjue, and it made him hate the people of the Prince's Mansion even more.
