Chapter 20 Are you here to break off the engagement?

In order to convince the prince that Zhu Xuntao is the lucky star, Xiao Jingzhan suddenly had an idea and added, "Prince, you don't know that my humble family can't always hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice."

"What a coincidence, I just recalled that the day when I could hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice was the day when Master Mingdeng told the prince that the lucky star had descended."

After saying this, Xiao Jingzhan, who was stunned, found that he almost convinced himself.

It seems... too coincidental...

"Really?" The prince's eyes lit up and his mind changed. "If Zhu Xuntao is really the lucky star that Master Mingdeng said, then I... Jingzhan, you want to break off the engagement with Zhu Xuntao. In this case, what do you think about letting Zhu Xuntao enter my East Palace?"

Lucky stars, of course, are more reassuring to keep by your side.

The prince's words were unexpected, but also reasonable.

Xiao Jingzhan, who was in a headache, had no other ideas, only one thought, that is, no!

"Not appropriate." Xiao Jingzhan came up with the most reasonable explanation as quickly as possible, "Based on Zhu Xuntao's personality, I'm afraid she is unwilling to enter the East Palace."

"It's not that Zhu Xuntao looks down on the prince, but Zhu Xuntao is naturally undisciplined and doesn't like constraints. That's why she wanted to marry Prince Yu as a widow. She just wants to be left alone." Fortunately,

the prince had heard Zhu Xuntao's wish to be a widow, so he didn't suspect that Xiao Jingzhan had ulterior motives for his words.

Zhu Xuntao would rather be a widow than to cancel her engagement with Xiao Jingzhan. If she didn't want to enter the East Palace, the prince's expression was understandable.

There is always a voice in the prince's heart saying that Zhu Xuntao, this oddball, would be willing to do

something that others are unwilling to do. Therefore, others would avoid the marriage with Prince Yu, but Zhu Xuntao would be eager to have it.

Similarly, other girls are eager to enter the East Palace and become the prince's woman. Zhu Xuntao, this freak, may really not be rare.

After all, Xiao Jingzhan is also a good son-in-law that everyone is vying for in the capital.

"Only when the lucky star treats you sincerely can you turn misfortune into fortune and assist the emperor. The prince cares about the world, the country and the people. What he wants is not a woman, but a wise minister."

If Zhu Xuntao can really become a lucky star, then her value in the prince's heart will no longer be just a woman.

The prince suddenly realized: "Thanks to Jingzhan for reminding me, this woman can turn a lucky star into a demon star when she gets angry and crazy."

One demon star is difficult enough to deal with, he can't force a lucky star to become a demon star. What

Zhu Xuntao wants is not in conflict with what he wants, and they can have the best of both worlds.

"It's just that Zhu Xuntao is extraordinary, and I'm not sure how many people can hear her voice..." Zhu Xuntao can't be dealt with casually.

Xiao Jingzhan had to say: "According to my observation, only my family and the prince can hear it so far. No one else can hear it. Even the people in the government can't hear it."

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure!" In order to save Xuntao, Xiao Jingzhan could only grit his teeth and answer.

The prince got down from the bed, walked to the table, poured himself a sip of tea and said, "What if someone else can hear it in the future? How can I feel at ease if Zhu Xuntao is not properly dealt with?"

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qiuyue saw her young lady touching her neck from time to time, and she curiously confirmed it.

It's okay, as white as cream, not red or swollen.

Zhu Xuntao touched it again: "I don't know why, today I always feel that the back of my neck is very cold from time to time."

Obviously the sun is shining, and the weather is so hot that she is still wearing a single layer of clothes, why is only the back of her neck cold, can it be a cold?

Qiuyue's eyes rolled and her neck shrank: "Miss, the eldest lady is here, and she looks so fierce."

So is the eldest lady going to cause trouble for the second lady again?

The second lady and the eldest lady are born of the same mother, both are legitimate, why is the eldest lady so mean to the second lady?

If she has the strength, can't she deal with those illegitimate ladies and masters?

Zhu Xuntao looked to the side, and sure enough, she saw Zhu Yingyan walking towards her with big strides and momentum, and she looked so angry that her hair was about to stand on end.

The heroine is angry? !

Before Zhu Yingyan could blame herself, Zhu Xuntao quickly broke the news to her: "Sister, I have good news for you. The old lady has agreed to my breaking off the engagement with Prince Xiao."

"No one in the Marquis' Mansion likes me. I don't have to suffer their contempt for this marriage anymore."

Heroine, I'll give you a position.

Zhu Yingyan was so angry that she felt like a basin of ice water was poured on her. With a crackling sound, the fire went out: "Did you, did you really mean it?"

"More real than pearls." Zhu Xuntao ignored Qiuyue's expression that was about to cry, "If you don't believe it, you will understand in a few days."

Zhu Yingyan's eyes lit up: "The Marquis's Mansion will come to cancel the engagement in a few days? If it is canceled, why do you say it is a good thing? And why did the old lady agree to it?" Is

that stubborn old thing who mistook fish eyes for pearls not confused?

If the old lady had learned her lesson in the future and stopped interfering in her marriage with Master Xiao, she might have let her go and let her live a few more years.

Thinking about how the Marquis’ wife who disliked Zhu Xuntao in her previous life was finally defeated by Old Lady Sheng, who accepted Zhu Xuntao and made Zhu Xuntao thrive in the Marquis’ mansion, Zhu Yingyan still had hatred in her heart. If

Old Lady Sheng had shown some sincerity to Zhu Xuntao and helped her manage the prince, she would not have been bullied and died miserably in the cold palace.

Zhu Xuntao said, “Prince Xiao and I hate each other and have nothing to say to each other. When the marriage is cancelled, we can part ways and live happily. How can this not be a good thing?”

Therefore, Zhu Yingyan does not need to bother her all the time because of Xiao Jingzhan.

Knowing what Zhu Yingyan was worried about, Zhu Xuntao said in a gentle voice for Madam Sheng: "No matter how much the old lady loves me, Master Xiao is her grandson."

"Master Xiao doesn't like me, so the old lady will naturally help him. You couldn't figure it out before, but now you may have figured it out."

This news made Zhu Yingyan, who had been angry for a day, feel relieved: "You'd better not lie to me about this."

"Absolutely not." She could swear to heaven, she was still counting on Zhu Yingyan to give advice to her stepmother and marry her to Prince Yu.

"Miss, Miss, someone is coming to the mansion." The maid ran over in a hurry to report the news.

Zhu Xuntao's eyes sparkled, her freedom was coming: "Big sister, you see, the people from Yongjing Marquis' Mansion are more anxious to cancel the engagement than I am. Originally they said they would come back in a few days, but I didn't expect them to be so efficient and get it done on the same day."

Before, the Marquis' Mansion was very reluctant and had been playing tricks on her for a long time.

Fortunately, she was quite accepting of this result, it seemed that everyone had the same idea.

Zhu Yingyan grabbed the little maid's hand, her eyes sparkling: "But the people from Yongjing Marquis' Mansion came to cancel the engagement?"
