Chapter Seventy-Three: Annulled Engagement (shuhaige.net)

Abu of Qinggele acted very quickly. He and Tazi were incredulous when they heard that Qinggele wanted to break off the engagement. Qinggele knew very well what kind of situation Lobsang Gunbu was, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was relentlessly pursuing him.

Judging from Abu's attitude now, his determination to annul the engagement is very firm.

He Tako: "Both children are still young, is there some misunderstanding?"

He Tazi had been grooming Lobsang Gunbu as his heir when Lobsang Gunbu and Qinggeler were engaged, so it wouldn't be easy to break off the engagement now.

Abugardi of Qinggel said, "There's no misunderstanding. Qinggel has just figured things out. We all know why Lobsang Gonbu agreed to be with Qinggel. Before, Qinggel thought that Lobsang Gonbu would be moved by all the help he had given him. Now Qinggel knows that those thoughts were just wishful thinking on his part."

He Tazi was speechless after hearing Galdi's words. Just as he said, Lobsang Gonbu agreed to the marriage because of the value behind Qinggeler. In the past, Qinggeler was blinded by love and couldn't see clearly. Now that she saw clearly and understood, He Tazi naturally wouldn't disagree, since it was indeed in their wrong.

In addition, Galdi had helped him a lot over the years for this daughter, and finally he and Tazi agreed.

After seeing Galdi off, Hetazi sent someone to bring Lobsang Gunbu over.

When Lobsang Gonbu heard that Abu was looking for him, he knew that Qinggeler had probably complained again, so he went there with an impatient expression.

Lobsang Gunbu: "What does Abu want with me?"

He Tazi looked at his son and said, "You should know why I called you here."

Lobsang Gunbu: "Has Abu from Qinggeler arrived?"

He Ta nodded: "Mm."

Lobsang Gunbu: "Abu, this really isn't my fault. I'm just stating the facts. It's just that Qinggeler went too far. I've never seen such a shrew."

He Tazi didn't particularly like this son. His son's character wasn't outstanding, but because Galdi held a high position in the tribe and his daughter loved him and couldn't live without him, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Now that the other party is going to call off the engagement, he has nothing left to worry about.

He Tazi: "Do you remember what I told you when Galdi came to our door to propose marriage for his daughter?"

Lobsang Gonbu certainly remembered that he and Tazi had told him that Qinggeler's temperament wasn't very good, but as long as he treated her well, she would be devoted to him. However, it was true that she was spoiled. If he could accept that, he could agree; if he could, he could also refuse.

At that time, Lobsang Gunbu was just one of the many sons of Tazi who was not very prominent. He did not want to remain unknown, so he agreed.

Sure enough, he was then taken seriously. At first, he could tolerate Qinggele's spoiled behavior, but later he realized that Qinggele really liked him, so he started to stand up for himself.

Lobsang Gunbu said in a muffled voice, "My son remembers."

He Tako: "Then tell me how you did it?"

Lobsang Gunbu was speechless.

After a while, Lobsang Gonbu said, "My son will go and apologize to Qinggele."

He waved his hand and said, "No need to apologize."

Lobsang Gunbu asked, puzzled, "What does Abu mean?"

He Tazi: "Gardi just came over to annul the engagement. It was Qinggele's own decision, and Gardi had Qinggele sent back to Khorchin on the same day he annulled the engagement."

In other words, Qinggele was no longer alive at this time.

Lobsang Gonbu's first reaction was, "This is impossible." As the person involved, Qinggele knew best how much he cared for him; how could this be?

He Tako: "Nothing is impossible. Alright, you can go out now. I'm just letting you know today."

Lobsang Gonbu left, looking utterly dejected.

Meanwhile, Qinggele was already on his way back to Khorchin, without showing a smile. Alata felt a little sorry for her master. Although Qinggele was spoiled, he only ordered them around more, but he also rewarded them more.

Besides, everyone has feelings. Seeing her mistress like this, she felt bad too, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only serve her carefully and attentively. She thought that perhaps the princess would get better after a while.

The news of Lobsang Gunbu's engagement being called off spread quickly. It shouldn't have happened, but because Ya Ruo had previously shown interest in Lobsang Gunbu, only to be rejected by him due to his existing marriage contract, the dramatic turn of events—the annulment of the engagement—naturally spread far and wide.

A few days later, Zasagtu Khan Chenggun came to Hetazi's door and talked about the possibility of Lobsang Gunbu and Yaruo's marriage. Hetazi said he would consider it. After Zasagtu Khan Chenggun left, Hetazi went to Galdi's place and agreed after returning.

Not long after, news of Lobsang Gonbu and Yaro's engagement spread. Two days later, the rumors began to change.

The new rumor is that Princess Yaruo likes Lobsang Gunbu, so she plots to make Princess Qinggele misunderstand that Lobsang Gunbu likes her. As a result, Princess Qinggele angrily breaks off the engagement. Finally, Princess Yaruo takes advantage of the situation and asks her brother to act as matchmaker to get engaged to Lobsang Gunbu.

The story was told in great detail, and many people believed it. After all, Qinggele did indeed suddenly break off the engagement, and after the breakup, some people saw Qinggele looking sullen and heartbroken, and he eventually left the garrison.

And indeed, the final result was that Lobsang Gunbu and Princess Yaruo were engaged. Facts speak louder than words, and naturally, many people believed it.
