Chapter 17 It's a pity for the

prince Xiao Jingzhan bowed to Madam Sheng: "Grandmother, I am willing to break off the engagement with Miss Zhu, and all the responsibilities are on me, and have nothing to do with Miss Zhu. In this regard, my mansion will definitely pay Miss Zhu a gift and apologize as compensation."

Jiang Yijing: "Jingzhan!"

Xiao Miluo: "Big brother!"

Xiao Yuanqi nodded silently, supporting Xiao Jingzhan's decision.

Zhu Xuntao's eyes flickered, and Shang Xuan's mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK:

[The male protagonist finally became a human being. ]

[That's right, since you don't like me and can't treat me with respect, why do you insist on the engagement with me? You are misunderstanding others and yourself. 】

【Now that I have vacated my position, Zhu Yingyan won't have to regard me as a thorn in her side in the future. You two can be a happy couple, right? 】 【

When the time comes, I will also give some advice to Zhu Yingyan's cook, so that she can have a taste of how powerful she is. 】

After hearing what her grandson said and hearing Zhu Xuntao's joy, Old Lady Sheng no longer hesitated: "In this case, let's formally visit the Zhu Mansion tomorrow and explain this matter to Master Zhu."

"No." Jiang Yijing stopped her, "If this marriage is really cancelled, it will definitely damage Xuntao's reputation. With the status of the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid there will be no good family willing to marry Xuntao as their first wife."

"Even if the Marquis' Mansion takes all the responsibilities and removes Xuntao, the impact cannot be eliminated."

"Mother, you can't just let your heart run low and let the children's temper run wild. You'll end up hurting them."

Jiang Yijing was absolutely right. In the book, Zhu Yingyan set her sights on the ghost marriage with Prince Yu because Zhu Xuntao couldn't marry into a rich family again and arranged a marriage for the Zhu family.

This ghost marriage was originally Zhu Yingyan's last attempt to squeeze Zhu Xuntao out of her wits, but after changing to another person, it was simply sending Zhu Xuntao to enjoy a good life.

Zhu Xuntao didn't want to change her own path in the original book at all. She followed the path that Zhu Yingyan had set for her and married a dead man as a widow.

As a female supporting role, she has cooperated to this extent. God should give her some face and let her die of old age and enjoy the wealth of the world.

Listen, is her request high?

Not at all.

Old Madam Sheng is old and can see things further than ordinary people.

Ever since she knew Zhu Xuntao's feelings, Old Madam Sheng has thought about Zhu Xuntao.

Old Madam Sheng followed Zhu Xuntao's thoughts and really didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Xuntao being a widow.

If Zhu Xuntao couldn't marry a man from their Xiao family, and married Zhu Xuntao to someone else, Old Madam Sheng would not be at ease at all.

But it's different if Zhu Xuntao marries a dead person.

The dead can't live a life of debauchery, hug men left and right, pamper concubines, kill wives, and humiliate their first wives.

In short, Prince Yu is dead, and Zhu Xuntao still has the support of the Marquis' Mansion. Although she can't walk around the capital with her head held high, no one will give her a cold shoulder.

As long as Zhu Xuntao is satisfied with this result, there is nothing wrong with it.

After thinking it through, Old Lady Sheng relaxed: "It doesn't matter, Taotao is a smart child, she will always find a way to live a good life."

Hearing this, Zhu Xuntao showed Old Lady Sheng a smile as bright as a summer flower, and that bright look was like a ray of sunshine shining into Old Lady Sheng's heart.

Xiao Jingzhan, who also saw this scene, calmed his heartstrings and loosened his clenched fists.

"Brother?" Xiao Miluo stomped his feet and tugged at the corner of Xiao Jingzhan's clothes.

Xiao Jingzhan retracted his sleeves: "It's too late."

It was too late to see clearly, and...too late to be moved.

Xiao Jingzhan never thought that he and Zhu Xuntao had been engaged for many years, and it was not until today when they discussed breaking off the engagement that he had a different feeling towards Zhu Xuntao.

The change in his heartstrings, no matter how subtle, was still caught by Xiao Jingzhan.

But the more Xiao Jingzhan thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed, and he forced himself to tell himself that he and Zhu Xuntao could only be destined to be together.

Old Madam Sheng looked at Jiang Yijing: "It's settled, you should get ready later, and don't be rude again."

Zhu Xuntao, with a calm face, concentrated on playing games with Xiao Chenliang:

[Finally, the process of breaking off the engagement is about to be completed. 】

【This was originally Zhu Yingyan's task, but Xiao Jingzhan helped Zhu Yingyan to complete it. 】

【That's right, one male and one female, it doesn't matter who does it, husband and wife are one, it's the same. 】

【Give Xiao Jingzhan a thumbs up! 】

Hearing that Zhu Xuntao was trying hard to pair Xiao Jingzhan and Zhu Yingyan together, Xiao Yuanqi endured it again and again, and cast a suspicious look at this nephew.

Xiao Jingzhan was furious. He had agreed to cancel the engagement, but Zhu Xuntao still wanted to step on him.

Seeing his nephew's face turn pale, Xiao Yuanqi comforted him: "Second uncle has no other intentions, I just want to remind you to pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future."

"Women tend to be suspicious and overthinking, which is not good if it causes unnecessary misunderstandings."

Zhu Xuntao in front of him is the best example.

The nephew thinks Zhu Xuntao's performance is not good, and thinks Zhu Yingyan can be a role model for Zhu Xuntao.

After a long time, it is no wonder that Zhu Xuntao misunderstood that the nephew had a romantic relationship with Zhu Yingyan.

This kind of thing, no matter who it is, will have such a misunderstanding like Zhu Xuntao.

The marriage has been agreed to be cancelled, what's the point of explaining?

Xiao Jingzhan pursed his lips, as if he tacitly agreed with Xiao Yuanqi's words.

The mother-in-law made the final decision, and the son actively cooperated, which made Jiang Yijing seem too nosy.

Jiang Yijing said smoothly: "Okay, since you all agree, I will prepare to cancel the engagement. I just hope that you will not regret today's decision in the future."

"Have you really decided to cancel the engagement?" The prince, who was not much later than Xiao Jingzhan, appeared in the marquis's mansion wearing a golden dragon brocade robe. After exempting everyone from the formalities, he bowed to Madam Sheng, "Grandmother."

"Why is the prince here?" Madam Sheng gave Xiao Jingzhan a look of annoyance. Cancelling the engagement was a small matter, but why did it get to the prince's ears, troubling him to make this trip?

The prince smiled and said, "Grandma, don't blame Jingzhan. I just haven't visited you for a long time. Today is just a coincidence."

No matter how quiet Zhu Xuntao was, she had to react when she heard that the prince was coming.

While paying respects to the prince, Zhu Xuntao glanced at the prince: he was handsome, with clear eyes and brows, a gentleman.

[So this is the prince, with clear eyes and brows, extraordinary elegance, a humble gentleman at first glance, handsome! ]

[I want to marry him. ]

Xiao Jingzhan: “?”

Prince: “!”

Old Madam Sheng felt dizzy, otherwise, Taotao and Jingzhan’s engagement should not be cancelled.

Although the prince is her grandson, he will never be Taotao’s good man.

Instead of letting Taotao marry the prince, she would rather let Taotao marry her eldest grandson.

The prince looked at Zhu Xuntao speechlessly. It turned out that Zhu Xuntao had higher ambitions, so he wanted to cancel the engagement with Jingzhan.

How could he be interested in such a woman?

Zhu Xuntao had no idea that she had just said something that made the prince look down on her.

However, Zhu Xuntao was someone who could make amends:

[Such a good prince, what a pity.]

Prince:? ?
