Chapter 15 striking a Deal

Dong Shen was left inside the carriage with a dark face on, he still had something to ask Qin Xu but he realised that the despicable women just left him after deliberately stepping on his foot! The audacity of her to do this to a Prince that too her husband!. '

Dong Shen gritted his teeth and stepped down, the servants of the mansion who were looking at Qin Xu countenance for the first time now appeared as dazed as the people of the palace.

Hence now Qin Xu who have already caused havoc inside the palace was creating the same thing in Prince Shen's mansion without any guilt at all.

Dong Shen on his way back was met with situations on his wake, three servants were sent to a nearby clinic because they fainted and four people were so engrossed in looking at her that they bumped Into pillars while working, while others just gawked and hawed at their new mistress giving Dong Shen a headache.

'This women was surely a big headache he married into his mansion. '

Dong Shen had no idea that the women he was thinking as a headache have become many young man's dream in the Capital City, as rumours that Dong Shen married a beauty started circulating through out the Capital.

In fact people even started saying that dont believe in all you hear instead first see with your own eyes otherwise either one would be lucky like Dong Shen or like others who were unlucky and became victims of rumor giving a fat pie to Dong Shen with their own hands.

Some young masters who were at the bridge in Palace were so shaken that they started looking at veiled women in the Capital especially the ones rumored to be ugly in hope that maybe they might also find a hidden beauty underneath the veil.

Some sources even suggested that the Third Prince was so angry that he did not visit a single concubine of his and was instead locked up in his study which was a great feat for him.

As Dong Shen was hearing Shen Ji report him about the happenings in the Capital his face darkened, 'As per people now he has become a wolf who devoured a little beauty of talent and virtue.'

He was truly angry, 'yes at first he did thought that he got the loosing end of the deal and after looking at Qin Xu perform that beautiful sword dance and her enchanting beauty he thought she was acceptable but now hearing the rumors he felt that mouths of people were more unpredictable even then the tides how fast did they go from despising Qin Xu and now calling him despicable. '

"The emperor is very angry, it's said he dismissed advisor Kang who suggested that you marry Qin Xu, the third Prince even blamed advisor Kang to be your henchman and asked the emperor to feed him poisoned wine, however the emperor saying he is his old servant just asked him to leave the Capital city. " Dong Shen finally felt happy and snorted, 'what now their plan failed so they discard the one they used, truly despicable to the boot. '

But that also meant that Qin Xu was not a spy sent by the Royal family.

"Investigate General Han and Qin Xu and How did general Han find her in Quanzhou. "

He wanted to know ever thing about that women, see if she can be arrogant in front of him for long.

"Also find out who was behind the assassination attempt and who the real target was and regarding that matter no need to take action for now. " By that matter he meant their plan to assassinate Qin Xu.

Qin Xu whose death was currently put on stay by Dong Shen and whose life was exempted for now was enjoying a bowl full of freshly handmade minced meat noodles.

"I say Chu Li, you are quite a good cook." "Thank you mistress."said a plump women with star in her eyes.

All the servants when they heard that their mistress is a rare beauty came to see her after giving various excuse ,Chu Li was a maid in kitchen hence she brought noodles and who would have thought she was the first one to be accepted.

"Chu Li you are my personal maid from now on, are you fine with it? " Asked Qin Xu to food and to people who can cook good food she want it hence she didn't hesitate and asked her out.

Chu Li was so overjoyed she dropped to the floor and started kowtowing , "Yes yes princess it's this servant's honor to serve you by your side. "

"Good now get up, steward arrange for it. "

She ordered the middle aged Stewart who accepted her order as if wanting to please her was his sole purpose.

"Mistress this is a nourishing bird best soup I personally prepared, you are so beautiful and delicate the Prince is a robust and strong man hence I brewed it for you " Said a middle aged nanny.

Her words made Qin Xu's face red with embarrassment,"what robust he can't even do a thing. " Murmured Qin Xu but accepted the soup thanking the nanny.

Dong Shen who has just entered the dining hall heard what the nanny said and due to his high martial arts also heard what Qin Xu said under her breath.

'Hah so she thinks he cant do anything, one day he will make her swallow these words back and be never be able to insult his manhood. She had no idea that playing with fire can also burn you and this unfiltered mouth if her needed to be taught a lesson. '

As Dong Shen entered and sat on the dining table he glared at Qin Xu, which she returned back with a sweet smile of hers which irked Dong Shen, 'this guy is always either angry or not speaking like a cold iceberg now what did she do that he is looking at her like she ate his last chicken piece. '

After Dong Shen finished his lunch he dismissed all the servants and spoke, "let's strike a deal. "

"I am all ears your highness." With that Qin Xu leaned forward towards the table as both of them were sitting opposite each other just as Qin Xu leaned forward her cloths accentuate her amble breast, although she was covered but they could not hide her great figure and suddenly what Dong Shen wanted to say got stuck in his throat and he felt his throat dry.

He fished a teapot and after pouring himself some tea gulped it down.

"I will accept all of your promises but you have to also accept mine. "

"Heh your highness, it's you who are poisoned and in need for an antidote what makes you think that you are in any position to ask me something? "

'This irksome women, he tightened his hold on the cup as if strangling her small delicate neck and spoke with gritted teeth. '

"You said, you needed protection, you know I can divorce you and I have a feeling that this time if I ask for divorce my father will happily agree. " Said Dong Shen after looking up and down Qin Xu's beautiful face.

"You... You... Shameless, how can you do that aren't you afraid that people will call you despicable and heartless for doing this to a innocent girl like me and divorces needs reason I did not commit any thing wrong what reasons do you have to divorce me ? " If it was any other day Qin Xu would not have even married this man but right now her only option was to tie a knot hence she cannot afford a divorce.

Dong Shen sneered, "really you didn't do anything, didn't we just gave the purity cloth to the empress for inspection, I will just say it was forged by you and I wasn't aware about it, you put it there, it was only later that I found that you made a fool out of me do you think this is enough for you to be dealt by a divorce and also the crime of misleading the Royal Family, can you wear it? Also can your general Han mansion deal with such a crime on their head? So think carefully. "

Qin Xu stood up and with a bang stuck the table in anger, "Dong Shen you... You are the most despicable... Heartless and ruthless man I ever met if I had known you were such a petty person I wouldn't have married you at the first place." Qin Xu was red with anger her breathing fast and quick making the rise and fall of her ample breast easily distinguishable.

Suddenly Dong Shen felt sudden heat rising in his body and with a flash he stood behind Qin Xu.

Qin Xu saw the sudden movement of Dong Shen and was quite shocked 'even when this guy was poisoned and his martial arts were restrained he was so powerful and fast, she have to save her little life and not make him angry otherwise what if he suddenly loses control like that in the carriage and really strangle her to death.
