Fang Ruotang was not good at hypocrisy and politeness. After all, from childhood to adulthood, the Prime Minister's Mansion would never allow anyone who was unfriendly to her to appear around her.

She is always surrounded by beautiful things, so there are no people she dislikes or things she hates. Therefore, she doesn't need to pretend and always speaks directly.

"You want to break off your engagement with my older sister?"

Fang Ruotang frowned, looking like a kitten whose fish had been stolen.

Prince Rong was exceptionally handsome, with delicate features, sharp angles, and a cold and aloof demeanor that gave him an unapproachable air. Even now, as he came to break off the engagement, his indifferent and aloof aura made him seem unlike someone from the mortal world.

But when he looked at Fang Ruotang, his eyes flickered, like the snow on a high mountain suddenly being put into a teapot and gradually coming to life.

"This is a letter from your older sister."

Prince Rong took out a letter from his sleeve and gestured for Fang Ruotang to look at it.

Fang Ruotang opened the letter with suspicion. The letter was short, just a few sentences, but the gist of it was that her elder sister had other desires and felt sorry for Prince Rong, so she asked him to take the initiative to break off the engagement and save face for him.

"Oh, I see!"

Fang Ruotang read the letter, crumpled it into a ball, and put it in her sleeve. This kind of letter must not fall into the hands of others, as it would damage her elder sister's reputation.

Prince Rong lowered his eyelids slightly and saw Fang Ruotang's little trick of hiding the letter, but he did not object. After all, the little thing between them was not a secret in the capital.

Only this little girl in front of me is still trying to maintain a semblance of harmony.

"Um, I'm sorry!" Fang Ruotang rubbed her cheek, looking at Rong Shizi with a bit of sympathy. "Well, you're a good person, and my older sister is a good person too, but maybe you two aren't a good match, you're just not meant to be. You... don't be too sad."

Fang Ruotang felt embarrassed about her impulsiveness just now.

"I'm giving you this Marrow Cleansing Pill as an apology from my elder sister for breaking off our engagement. I hope you won't blame her. Or if you have any other requests, our Prime Minister's Mansion will certainly not refuse if it's within our power."

Fang Ruotang asked Xiao Jingzi for the Marrow Cleansing Pill again.

While breaking off an engagement is more damaging to a woman, it is also something that would severely damage the reputation of Prince Rong, since it is her elder sister who has someone else in her heart.

"Sixth Brother," Cui said, both amused and exasperated, interrupting Fang Ruotang.

Everyone present, except for her, knew the reason for the annulment of the engagement.

It's even less likely that Prince Rong would break ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion over this. He's just changing from the eldest son-in-law to the second son-in-law, so he's still related to the Prime Minister's Mansion by marriage.

Fang Ruotang glanced at Rong Shizi with sympathy, then walked to her aunt's side. She wisely refrained from asking her older sister why the engagement was called off, as now was not a good time.

"Both sides are happy to see this engagement broken off. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, understand?" Madam Shu patted her daughter's head.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow.

The little mirror mentioned six good young men. If there were only one of them, she would be happy for her daughter. But to have six at once seemed utterly absurd to her.

What's even more terrifying is that in this kind of situation, she, as a mother, couldn't even make decisions for her daughter and could only watch helplessly as things happened.

"Huh?" Fang Ruotang's eyes widened, and she quickly turned her head to ask, "Don't you like my older sister either? Really? My older sister is so nice."

Fang Ruotang's expression was so straightforward, she was practically poking Rong Shizi's nose and asking him if he was blind.

Those present couldn't help but laugh when they saw Rong Shizi's embarrassed expression.

After all, everyone knows that the usually aloof Prince Rong led his men to rescue Fang Ruotang yesterday and even rode a horse with her in his arms.

Prince Rong is a germaphobe. He would rather stand three zhang away from others than be so intimate with them, and even when talking to them, he would prefer to do so. He dislikes the smell of others, which is no secret in the capital.

He finally found a woman who would treat him differently, but she knew nothing about it and never treated him as an independent individual.

In Fang Ruotang's eyes, Rong Shizi was Fang Shengtang's possession.

“…Your older sister is very nice, but she’s not suitable for me.” Prince Rong spoke with unusual caution, as he felt that if he didn’t reply well, the little girl opposite him would jump up and argue with him.

"You're fine too, it's okay. You'll have other romantic relationships in the future, but maybe the other person won't be as good as my older sister."

Fang Ruotang is a big fan of her older cousin. After all, in her heart, this older cousin is more important than her own sister, so she naturally thinks that she is the best in the world.

Prince Rong gave Fang Ruotang a meaningful look.

Fang Ruotang felt provoked and pursed her lips, but she wasn't stupid enough to keep quiet and didn't say anything more. After all, what she had just said was already unpleasant, and saying anything more would only annoy people.

But she was convinced that her eldest sister was the most outstanding woman in the world, and there was absolutely no one more outstanding than her eldest sister. It was also true that Prince Rong did not like to hear this.

"His future love will be you." Little Mirror said cheekily.

Fang Ruotang retorted without backing down.

[I'm not as good as my older sister; isn't that something anyone with eyes can see?]

[No, what are you so proud of?]

The little mirror was completely bewildered, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

"Ruo Ruo," the princess waved to Fang Ruo Tang with an undisguised smile, "I haven't had a chance to speak properly with you since we last met. Thank you for the Rejuvenation Pill; it saved my life."

For this annulment of the engagement, Prince Rong asked her and an elderly lady from the clan to jointly represent him.

Although Rong Shizi is now in competition with her son after the engagement is broken off, she has a sharp eye! In the end, none of these six sons will be able to have him all to themselves, not even the Crown Prince.
