Seeing Qi Yuning's face looking better, Lu Ze said, "Although this rumor was caused by Guan Zhiyi, it was Qin Yuli who fanned the flames. I wonder why Qin Yuli did this?"
Qi Yuning said: "Qin Yuli would never do anything useless. She must have other plans."
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Should we report this to His Majesty?"
"No need for that. Why should Your Majesty be troubled by the calculations of children?"
When it was time to leave the court, Lu Ze and Qi Yuning walked to the outside of the Dali Temple together, only to see Qin Zhen standing at the door of the Dali Temple, with Guan Zhiyi, who was wearing pink clothes, beside him. Guan Zhiyi had an extremely ugly expression on her face.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhen came to Guan's house and brought her here. Guan Zhiyi didn't know why, she was extremely frightened and wanted to leave, but there were people all around watching the fun.
Qin Zhen saw Lu Ze coming out and said, "Ze'er, before, Fifth Uncle didn't know that you and Miss Guan were actually engaged. Now I've heard rumors that you were so in love, and that Old Madam Lu now considers Guan Zhiyi her granddaughter-in-law. I hereby declare the engagement with Miss Guan Six to be annulled, so that you and Miss Guan Six can be together."
Guan Zhiyi heard what Qin Zhen said, and said in disbelief: "Master Qin Wu..."
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Qin Zhen, "Master Qin Wu, are you treating marriage as a joke? Since the engagement has been made, how can you just cancel it?"
"I think Master Qin Wu is worthy of being a descendant of the Qin family. He is very reasonable."
When Lu Ze saw Madam Lu coming out of the crowd, he stepped forward to support her and said, "Grandma."
Lu Baohua, who was supporting Madam Lu, glanced at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze said, "Grandma, you are not in good health. You should go back home and rest first."
Madam Lu walked up to Guan Zhiyi, held her hand and said, "Ze'er, you and Zhiyi were very affectionate before, and now Master Qin Wu is very reasonable and has cancelled the engagement. Why don't you let your grandmother decide to renew your engagement with Zhiyi, and let everyone be a witness to help you two become a loving couple."
Lu Zelian frowned and said, "Grandma! I don't want to."
Madam Lu covered her chest and said, "Grandma doesn't have much time left. You and Guan Zhiyi were once so loving. It would be a great thing if you could renew your love and finally get married."
Outside the Dali Temple, more and more people came to watch the fun.
Guan Zhiyi looked at everyone's gazes and felt as if she was being put on the fire. Today was a dead end for her.
Guan Zhiyi knelt in front of Lu Ze and said, "Master Lu, you and I had a verbal engagement before, and I still have feelings for you. Today, if you are unwilling to renew our relationship and arrange a marriage, I will have no choice but to die to protect my reputation."
Guan Zhiyi knew that she had no other choice now. If Lu Ze rejected her, her reputation would be ruined and she would never have the chance to marry into a wealthy family again.
The only way to get rich is to take a chance.
After all, it was hard for her to give up such a wealthy husband like Lu Ze.
Lu Ze said coldly: "Miss Guan Liu said that you and I had a past relationship. Miss Guan, where did our past relationship come from?"
Guan Zhiyi said: "You and I once went boating on the lake and met in the Plum Garden..."
Qi Yuning stepped forward and looked at Guan Zhiyi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Guan Zhiyi, I thought you were a pitiful person and wanted to let you go, but you didn't take my words to heart!"
Lu Ze said to Guan Zhiyi in a cold voice: "Miss Guan, when have I ever been boating with you on the lake?"
Guan Zhiyi repeatedly asked, "Prince, how could you betray me like this? We once made a vow to each other, have you completely forgotten it just because of Princess Qi? Princess Qi, you have always loved to snatch other people's things. How can a princess snatch someone's fiancée..."
Qi Yuning was so angry at Guan Zhiyi that she laughed. How could she have the guts to think that she could make Lu Ze suffer such a loss for the sake of his dignity by doing this?
Did she underestimate Lu Ze, or did she underestimate Qi Yuning?
Qi Yuning asked, "Master Lu, have those two thugs gone far away?"
Lu Ze signaled the guards to go look for the two thugs.
Qi Yuning walked up to Guan Zhiyi and said, "Don't marry Princess Qi. This rumor is that your Guan family entered Shengjing City to make a name for the three unmarried girls in your family.
This princess felt that dealing with you had dirty her hands, so she never cared about it. But it is not that I don't have evidence. There are witnesses to prove how you spread the rumor that insulted me!"
Qi Yuning said: "Insulting the Princess Chang'an bestowed by His Majesty is also a violation of the laws of Dasheng."
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze's men calling over two thugs who were watching the fun in the crowd. She pointed at them and said, "Do these two thugs look familiar to you, Miss Guan? Don't think that a lie will come true if you tell it a thousand times!"
The fat thug kept saying, "It's her. She looks very similar. She was the one who told us to go and see her and Master Lu boating on the lake!"
"Yes, she was the one who gave us the money! She told us to tell everyone that Master Lu was deeply in love with her."
Guan Zhiyi looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Where did Princess Qi find these two hooligans to falsely accuse me?"
Qi Yuning said, "What a joke! Why would this princess falsely accuse you? Guan Zhiyi, this princess can ban your Guan family from entering Shengjing City with just a flick of her finger. Why would she bother to hire two hooligans to falsely accuse you?"
"It was them. Last time, they were the ones who told me about Miss Guan and Master Lu going boating on the lake. It turned out that it was Miss Guan who paid for it!"
"Tsk tsk, isn't Guan Zhiyi too shameless?"
Qi Yuning said again: "Shaoqing Lu, we are in the Dali Temple right now. I asked my maid to fetch the evidence of how the Guan family insulted me for not marrying Princess Qi. Shaoqing Lu will decide how to sentence the Guan family!"
Guan Zhiyi collapsed to the ground, crying helplessly. She knew that today would be a dead end no matter what.
She originally thought she could break this deadlock.
Guan Zhiyi looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Princess Qi, I used your name to become famous, and it was all my own doing. It has nothing to do with my Guan family. I have remembered what you said last time. Since you said that, I have been in a state of panic.
It is not my will to come here today. I have made one wrong step and then another. I plead guilty."
Guan Zhiyi shed a tear helplessly, looking at Lu Ze and said, "Master Lu, I fell in love with you the day I first met you at Xianglin Temple. I was so happy to know that I could be engaged to you...
If, if Lu Yun marries the princess, can I become the wife of the prince?"
Madam Lu went over and continued to hold Guan Zhiyi's hand, comforting her: "My dear child, you have just arrived in Shengjing City, and it is understandable that you want to make a name for yourself and plan a good marriage for yourself. In your grandmother's heart, you will always be the best granddaughter-in-law..."
Qi Yuning said sarcastically, "It's a pity that your good granddaughter-in-law, knowing that you would get sick if you drank milk, deliberately added milk to your vegetarian food, causing you to get sick in Xianglin Temple. Your good granddaughter-in-law just happened to have medicine to save you!"
Guan Zhiyi couldn't believe it: "When did you know about this?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and asked, "Why didn't the princess mention this to me?"
Qi Yuning only said to Guan Zhiyi: "Guan Zhiyi, do you think you can be married to Lu Ze? I tell you, you definitely won't have a chance to marry Lu Ze. This princess will never let someone who insults me be on an equal footing with me."
