Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day-Chapter 1548 - 1548 Ambition

1548 Ambition

Ever since he was young, there had been many men who admired Xia Wanyuan. There were nobles and royalty, as well as unrestrained young masters. However, no one would stand in front of him and tell him so directly that they were here for his sister.

What was even stranger was that Xia Wei did not dislike Jun Shiling much. It was probably because the emotions in Jun Shiling’s eyes were too sincere, so sincere that no one could question Jun Shiling’s words.

However, Xia Wei was still very unhappy that his sister was coveted. Xia Wei snorted coldly at Jun Shiling. “Don’t be a toad who wants to eat swan meat. My sister won’t like you.”

Jun Shiling did not say anything and only smiled faintly. “Your sister is up. I’ll make something to eat.”

With that, Jun Shiling turned around and walked towards the kitchen. When he turned around, he bumped into Xia Wanyuan, who was walking over. Meeting those clear eyes, Jun Shiling nodded slightly.

When the two of them passed each other, Jun Shiling did not miss the lingering redness on Xia Wanyuan’s ear. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the hard work and fatigue from the morning were swept away.

Looking at Jun Shiling’s attitude of treating himself as the host, Xia Wei was about to die of anger. He complained to Xia Wanyuan, “Sister, look at him!!! Chase him away after breakfast.”

Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Xia Wei’s shoulder to comfort him. “Actually, you don’t hate him, right?”

Xia Wanyuan knew Xia Wei the best. She could tell that Xia Wei did not hate Jun Shiling. Xia Wei would probably not say anything to people he hated.

“Hmph.” Xia Wei raised his chin. “He has ulterior motives towards you.”

Xia Wanyuan’s ears heated up slightly. She looked unnaturally in the direction of the kitchen. “Let’s watch for two days first. If we can have another person here, it’s not a bad thing.”

“Sister ~” Xia Wei felt a strong sense of danger. He could tell that that lecher was probably going to succeed.

“Alright, go and practice your swordsmanship.” Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xia Wei with a serious expression.

“Alright.” Xia Wei turned around dejectedly. “Sister, I’m going to practice my swordsmanship. Call me if you need anything.”

“Mm.”

…

In the office of Shanglin County, 500 kilometers away from Longguan, Jiang Qing was talking to the king.

“Aiya, Nephew, you’re really brilliant. As you said, after that mountain bandit snatched the official money, he walked southeast by water. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Otherwise, when they entered the water, my so much money would have been wasted.”

Receiving the king’s praise, Jiang Qing smiled. “It’s my honor to be able to help you.”

“In your opinion, what will happen next?” The king looked at Jiang Qing expectantly. “I’m quite convinced of you now. As long as you say it, I’ll get someone to arrange for it to do as you say.”

The corners of Jiang Qing’s lips curled up as he pointed at the location of Longguan Town on the map.

“Prince, look here. The remnants of the Great Xia Dynasty are hidden in this town.”

Duke Lin’s eyes suddenly widened. “Nephew, are you serious??”

Jiang Qing looked around. The king immediately understood and gestured for the servants to leave.

When only Jiang Qing and the king were in the living room, Jiang Qing looked at the king with a deep gaze. “Prince, have you never thought of ruling the world?”

“Nephew, you…”

Before Duke Lin could say anything, he was stopped by Jiang Qing. “Prince Lin, now that the heroes are fighting for supremacy, you have a large army and are guarding the Yellow River. Your geographical location is unique. As a man, do you really not have the ambition to rule the world and be worshiped by hundreds of officials??”

As soon as Jiang Qing finished speaking, Duke Lin fell silent.
