"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 66

 Putting the bowl down, Chi Feng cupped his hands saying: "Princess, I have received orders to come here and ask you a few questions, I hope princess will respond honestly."

Ji Ling Xue nodded.

Chi Feng asked: "Two days ago, that is thirteenth of August, you dined at Wangshan restaurant with young master Ji."

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Yes, this princess had not seen younger brother in so long, I wanted to eat out with him, is there a problem? This princess remembers having paid the bill that day, I didn't dine and dash." Thinking about it, Ji Ling Xue continued to add: "This princess has always kept a low profile when out, I didn't cause the prince shame..."

Chi Feng said nothing, he didn't want to ask about this...

Ji Ling Xue spoke in detail the day she ate at Wangshan restaurant with Ji Ming Yang, of course, she skipped out her displeasure on seeing Xiao Yi Chen's treasured scroll.

Chi Feng had no opportunity to interject, the princess was very cooperative, he knew everything he needed.

He sat there for a cup of teas time, Chi Feng stood up taking his leave he left.

Following Chi Feng's rear view as he got further away, Mo Xiang gave a long sigh. She was so scared, she had thought the prince really found something.

JI Ling Xue patted Mo Xiang's shoulder: "What are you afraid of, even if the sky fell I'll be here to hold it up."

Mo Xiang smiled, probing she asked: "If the prince found out we did those things, what would happen?" He wouldn't be so angry to kill them right?

JI Ling Xue shrugged, "Don't worry, my background supporters are greater, at most I'll be divorced from him."

Mo Xiang said in her heart: "Princess, you are the princess, the prince wouldn't make a move against you no matter how angry he got, but this servant isn't the same, maybe this servant would be the first to die...

Inside the study, smoke rose in spirals from the incense burner, a faint sandalwood smell filled the air.

Behind the desk, Xiao Yi Chen held a book in his hand, an afternoon had passed but a page had not been turned, from time to time his eyes darted to the door, waiting for Chi Feng to return.

Xiao Yi Chen threw the book onto the table in agitation, "Chi Feng's efficiency is too poor, he only had to ask some questions, why has he not returned after so long?!" As he spoke he paced the room with his hands behind his back.

"Prince..." Chi Feng rushed into Xiao Yi Chen's study in one breath, almost colliding with Xiao Yi Chen who was pacing.

Xiao Yi Chen frowned, looking at the sweating like rain Chi Feng, "What is with you, why do you look like you've been fished out from the water?"

Chi Feng smiled in embarrassment and helplessness, "Prince...I'm like this all because of the doings of your princess."

Xiao Yi Chen looked at Chi Feng rejoicing in others misfortunes, "What happened?"

It was unexpected for Chi Feng to also suffer, it really hasn't been seen before.

Chi Feng like a withered tree, found a place to sit down, that's when he complained: "Prince you really wouldn't be able to guess what she used to receive me?"

Xiao Yi Chen thought about it saying: "She wouldn't use exotic delicacies to welcome you, this I know."

Chi Feng's lips twitched, speaking of the cold treatment he had received at Ji Ling Xue's hands, "That's why...you ought to give her some furniture, she really lives a pitiful life in the side courtyard."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, waiting for Chi Feng to get to the main point.

Chi Feng again said: "Tow days before princess and young master Ji went to Wangshan restaurant, there was nothing suspicious."

Xiao Yi Chen patted the non-existent dust from his body, saying without making sense: "Sometimes, what you hear isn't necessarily the truth."

Ah? Chi Feng's mouth was wide open, he didn't know what to say, why did he feel Ji Ling Xue's words were concise, she didn't seem to be lying, she also didn't have a reason to ruin her own husband's treasured scroll?
