Xia Muqing complimented him. “Your Highness, you’re still as handsome and outstanding as before. You’re loved by everyone and flowers are blooming around—”

Ye Qingxuan squeezed her cheeks, forcing her to pout and rendering her speechless.

Amusement flashed across Ye Qingxuan’s eyes. “That happy?”

Xia Muqing couldn’t speak, but her pair of twinkling eyes explained everything.

Ye Qingxuan let go of her with a disgusted expression and said, “So ugly.”

Xia Muqing’s smile vanished and she shouted angrily, “Ye Qingxuan!”

Ye Qingxuan turned around in his wheelchair and grinned.

Once he turned around, the anger on Xia Muqing’s face vanished. Her expression turned calm.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t noticed Ye Qingxuan’s changes lately, but she didn’t need love.

Furthermore, in the feudal era, polygamy was commonly practiced.

Xia Muqing returned to her courtyard. Just as she arrived, Ye Qingxuan sent over several boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry.

It seemed as if he wanted to quell her anger.

Xia Muqing looked at the boxes in the courtyard with a complicated expression. She subconsciously rubbed the dragon and phoenix jade pendant in her hand.

Feeling a little bored, Xia Muqing walked out of the courtyard and strolled around the garden.

She had just found a quiet place to rest when she heard a commotion coming from afar.

A sharp female voice sounded. “Don’t you look when you walk?”

Another female voice which sounded very familiar replied arrogantly, “You knocked into me.”

That voice belonged to… Tian Meng.

Xia Muqing didn’t want to be a busybody, so she remained silent.

The first woman spoke again, “Ha! Miss Tian, His Highness didn’t even give you a status, yet you insist on staying in the residence. Do you have any sense of shame!”

Tian Meng’s voice visibly became softer. “What has it got to do with you?”

The woman replied smugly, “I’m the only woman His Highness has. Of course it concerns me.”

Tian Meng quipped “You won’t be very soon. Don’t you know how much His Highness liked Physician Xia recently? It’s a matter of time before he takes her in.”

The innocent Xia Muqing, who was implicated, looked a little embarrassed. Where did these rumors come from?

Tian Meng rattled on about how well His Highness has treated Xia Muqing.

The other woman was livid. She yelled angrily, “That’s impossible! His Highness was merely confused for a moment. He loves me the most.”

With that, she stormed off. Xia Muqing could still hear the woman screaming that she was looking for her.

She silently retreated further.

However, when she looked up, she saw Tian Meng’s curious eyes.

Xia Muqing was startled and her expression stiffened. She recalled what Tian Meng had just said and she felt angry again.

That lass had really gotten her into trouble.

Tian Meng asked, “Sister, what are you doing here?”

A few days ago, Tian Meng said that she was the younger sister. Today, she had changed her mind.

Xia Muqing asked helplessly, “Where did you hear that from?”

Tian Meng knew that she had overheard their conversation. She stuck out her tongue and said cutely, “I could see it for myself. I was just trying to intimidate her. Sister, you have no idea how annoying Lady Tie is.”

Hearing this lass talk about how arrogant and domineering someone else was, Xia Muqing had an odd feeling.

Wasn’t she talking about herself?

The two of them really sounded alike. Did Ye Qingxuan like this type of lady?

With that in mind, Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had misunderstood.

No matter how she pondered about it, she didn’t seem to be one of them.

After figuring it out, Xia Muqing returned to her courtyard.

As soon as she entered, she saw Lady Tie sitting arrogantly in her courtyard.

She sat in a stone pavilion in the courtyard. Two maids were fanning her, another maid was holding a fruit platter and the other was feeding her fruits..
