Chapter 5 Planning

A Yao waited for a long time, but didn't hear any sound from the person in the carriage.

Behind the Curtain:

The man in the car sat upright, his temperament as pure and elegant as the moonlight washed by lead.

The attacker was dressed in white as white as snow, with hair like splashed ink, and his shimmering glass eyes now appeared as deep as a cold pond in the dark.

The veins on the man's hands were clearly visible, the hand holding the brush was trembling slightly, and his breathing became heavier.

In the front hall of the Pei family, Pei Yu was anxiously waiting for news from Pei Jinxuan.

He always felt that Lu Qiaoxiao's behavior today was abnormal, not like the usual temper of a girl.

While he was thinking, he saw Pei Jinxuan walking in with a gloomy face.

"Xuan'er, what's wrong?" Pei Yu straightened up.

"The engagement was called off and the betrothal gifts were taken back." Pei Jinxuan's face was gloomy and he felt angry.

"What? You're going to ask her to cancel the engagement just like that?"

Pei Yu's eyes went dark and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He had already made up his mind that once Lu Qiaoxiao came into the house, he would convert half of the dowry given by the Lu family into cash for emergencies.

Now, Prince Pingyang is the most powerful in the court. The task of dealing with disasters recently assigned to Prince Pingyang by the emperor is the token of allegiance given to Prince Pingyang by his Pei family.

Pei Jinxuan said impatiently: "What else can I do? She refuses to marry, can I still capture her and marry her?"

"The matter of Prince Pingyang..." Pei Yu looked worried and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, father. I will take care of it myself." Pei Jinxuan frowned and handed the paper deed in his hand to Pei Yu.

"You should go to the two Lu family banks in the next two days to handle the handover. This is a gift of apology from Marquis Yong'an."

Pei Yu snorted coldly, but still accepted the paper contract.

Madam Li frowned and said angrily, "The Lu family is willing to break off the engagement, but do they really think they can fool us with just two manors?"

After complaining about her dissatisfaction, Madam Li took Pei Jinxuan's hand again and said earnestly: "Son, I think Lu Qiaoxiao has feelings for you after all. The last time you called her to dinner, the look on her face showed that she liked you very much."

"You still have to put in some effort. Sometimes, don't be so stubborn."

"Isn't the palace going to hold a Spring Festival banquet in a few days? You can find a chance to talk to her properly then."

Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes slightly, but she was thinking that she would have to teach her a lesson after she entered the house.

"By the way! Don't let the little bitch you keep in the house go out and wander around!" Mrs. Li said with some disgust.

The daughter of a guilty minister kept clinging to his son every day.

Now it has also affected the marriage between the Pei and Lu families.

Such a vixen, yet she still lives in the villa of the second son of the Pei family without getting married.

What a disaster!

Pei Jinxuan shook off Li Hui'e's hand irritably: "Mom, don't talk about Fu'er like that, I'm leaving first!"

He turned away.

On the carriage back home, Lu Qiaoxiao lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the bustling crowd outside. He felt more relaxed than ever.

Breaking off the engagement is only the first step to prevent yourself from falling into the devil's hell.

Next, she had to protect her mother and younger brother and never let the tragedy happen again.

Doesn’t Wang Xiuwan want to climb up the social ladder?

She gave her a chance.

If she remembered correctly, her third sister in her previous life married the prince of the Duke's Mansion.

Although the prince had no achievements and no abilities, he obeyed his wife's every word.

But Lu Xiuzhu was not satisfied, she thought her husband was a bastard who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun!

Since she was not satisfied with this high branch, she would create a high branch for her third sister.

Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the figure not far away.

His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he has a sinister and vicious character. At the same time, he is also extremely lustful.

A lustful man would not mind having a beautiful and brainless woman in his harem.

On the eighth day of next month, Prince Ding'an will receive the imperial order to go to Guanglin Temple to worship Buddha.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes turned colder and he clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

Sister Xiuzhu, your elder sister personally chose your husband, so you should enjoy yourself.
