The Fourth Lady

Chapter 17 The Present at School III

Xiu Ran was simply unwilling to believe in Murong Jingxuan's words, and he more or less didn't have any good feelings towards that kind of idiot young miss.

"How about we make a bet?" Murong Jingxuan amusingly said as looked at Xiu Ran's skeptical expression.

Xiu Ran was the shopkeeper of Julongzhai only in name, but as the political hostage from Nanchen, his heart was still thoroughly loyal towards Nanchen. Murong Jingxuan* would constantly received information regarding Nanchen from Xiu Ran.

(*TN: This is my own interjection, since author just used the pronoun 'he' here, thus making the wording kind of confusing.)

Even the death of Qilian Qingyan, he heard from the mouth of Xiu Ran.

"What bet? I'm certainly not interested." Xiu Ran picked up a small teacup and began to taste the tea, however when he looked to Murong Jingxuan, he was expressionless.

"How about you come with me to Bogu Hall? I just happen to need something from that Cui Hanqun." Murong Jingxuan mischievously smiled as he slapped the table, "On the way I can have you meet that Su's fourth miss."

"Che." Xiu Ran wrinkled his brows, "I already said I'm not interested in that Su's fourth miss, why are you making me come with you?"

Murong Jingxuan shook his head, "You'll know when the time comes."

Seeing Murong Jingxuan's expression, Xiu Ran already knew that he wasn't able to turn down his demand. After all, he was currently living in Murong Jingxuan's manor. Although Murong Jingxuan was a Prince* with a different surname, in order to have him under his control, Xuanyuan Hong bestowed him a manor in Diqiu.

(*TN: The original phrase was more along the lines of him being bestowed the same title as a Prince despite having a different surname from the royal family. He's technically a political hostage, but holds the same title as a Prince.)

Nevertheless, if it wasn't for the previous Empress constantly protecting him, he wouldn't have been able to live this long. But in the end, the beauty had passed.
