Madam Lu said to the Second Madam of the Lu family, "Look, what a perfect match these two children are."
Mrs. Lu Er didn't agree with this. She really couldn't see how they were a good match.
Lu Ze glanced at Guan Zhiyi with undisguised disdain, then took out a scarlet coral bracelet and bowed to Madam Lu, saying, "Grandma, today is Lingling's birthday. I'm unfilial and can't spend the Double Ninth Festival with you. This coral bracelet is my apology."
Old Madam Lu frowned, and looked at the red coral bracelet, which was so dazzling.
Seeing Madam Lu's unhappy expression, Lu Ze sighed softly and bowed to take his leave, "Grandson will leave first."
Guan Zhiyi thought about the scene when she and Lu Ze first met many times. She was afraid that she was not pretty enough, but she also fantasized that Master Lu would like her petite and blessed appearance.
She thought about how polite Prince Lu was when she spoke to Lu Ze for the first time.
But she didn't expect that Lu Ze disliked her the first time he saw her.
He even didn't bother to say a word to himself.
Guan Zhiyi felt extremely distressed, her eyes slightly red, "Madam, I will take my leave now."
Old Madam Lu was angered by Lu Ze's sudden departure and no longer wanted to keep Guan Zhiyi.
Lu Ze went to Prince Qi's mansion, but just as he reached the gate, he heard Guan Zhiyi calling him from behind, "Prince Lu."
Lu Ze turned around and looked at Guan Zhiyi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips and said, "Master Lu, I've always heard that you're a bandit. Are you, like everyone else, only concerned with family background, birth, and bloodline?"
Guan Zhiyi's eyes were filled with tears, and she said pitifully, "If you say to cancel the engagement, then cancel it. Do you know that for a daughter of the Guan family, breaking off an engagement means she can no longer live? These past few days, I've been extremely disliked by my elder sister and mother!"
Guan Zhiyi bit her lip and said, "How could you betray me like this? Is it just because I'm just the daughter of a minor official, and she, Qi Yuning, is the Princess of Qi Wang?"
Lu Ze said, "No, it's because Princess Qi is an open and honest person."
Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips and said in a trembling voice, "Master Lu, do you know that if you cancel the engagement, my reputation will be completely ruined and I will have no choice but to die?"
Lu Ze said coldly, "Miss Guan's life or death is only your business, not mine."
Guan Zhiyi burst into tears, and her vision was blurry. "Prince, do you really not care about my life or death at all?"
Lu Ze ignored Guan Zhiyi and knocked on the gate of Prince Qi's mansion. The servant opened the side door and let Lu Ze in.
Guan Zhiyi only felt a little wetness on her hands, and when she looked up, she saw raindrops falling from the sky.
As soon as Lu Ze entered the palace, the gate closed heavily. Guan Zhiyi fell powerlessly in front of the vermilion gate of Prince Qi's palace.
She overestimated Lu Ze. She didn't expect that the dignified Master Lu was actually a cold-hearted hypocrite who regarded human life as worthless.
Guan Zhiyi returned to the Guan family in the rain.
As soon as they entered the Guan family's house, Mrs. Guan hurried forward and asked, "Zhiyi, why are you wet in the rain? Where is the maidservant beside you?
Mother has great news for you. Madam Qin is here to arrange a marriage for you and Master Qin Wu. Master Qin Wu is the Empress's nephew and Master Lu's cousin. This marriage is truly a godsend!
