Chapter 12: Resignation Banquet and Breaking Off the Engagement

"Ningning, I have never eaten anything so delicious.

What do you think about us poaching that chef and opening a restaurant together?"

It was also a coincidence that the tavern she went to yesterday was a base of the Poison Heart Valley in the capital.

She had originally been planning to do some business there, and now it seemed like it would be a good idea to continue running the tavern.

[You are worthy of being the heroine. You have already seized the business opportunity before I even mentioned it. If you don’t make money, who will? ]

Jiang Youning showed an expression of being stunned at first, and then excited.

"Why didn't I think of this? We should do this tomorrow!"

Both Jiang Youning and Jiang Wanrong are action-oriented.

The two of them chatted back and forth and had even planned out the renovation of the restaurant, the menu, how much money they would make in the future, and even how many branches they would open across the country.

At some point.

The gate opened.

"Miss, Miss!!!"

Chuntao suppressed her voice and shouted.

Jiang Youning raised his head quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, you are truly amazing! Young Marquis Xie has come to your house. I heard that he is here to cancel the engagement.

Miss, you must behave better today, otherwise the master might break one of your legs."

Chuntao put her hand to her mouth and spoke in a deliberately low voice.

However, Jiang Youning felt that her little maidservant's brain was a little bit not very good. Her voice, which was deliberately lowered, was so loud that even the two servants guarding the gate could hear it.

Fortunately.

The boy was very considerate. As long as they were around, they would not meddle in other people's business.

"You're such a sucker, why are you breaking off the engagement so quickly?!"

Jiang Youning was immediately excited.

"No! Chuntao, ask Xia He to come in and help us clean the yard. I have to go check on my sister!"

Jiang Youning spoke out his secret plan without reservation.

The two servants at the door sensibly covered their ears.

They really didn't hear anything.

The young lady finally came to her senses and decided to go and win back the young marquis!!!

Chun Tao immediately nodded with a strong sense of responsibility: "Okay, ladies! Ladies, you can go without any worries!"

~~~

In the front hall.

Jiang Huaian's face didn't look very good.

"Young Marquis, you came here to cancel the engagement. Is it the old Marquis's intention?"

"Uncle Jiang, you don't need to worry about who came up with this idea. Outsiders don't know that there is such an affair between Xiaohou Mansion and your family.

We can call off this marriage quietly, and it won't have any impact on the young lady of your family.

After all, my mansion shouldn't marry a young lady who swaggers around in brothels as the mistress of a high-class family, right?"

In the front hall.

Xie Ciyan sat in a chair very properly. He chuckled and took two sips of tea, with a look of majesty in his eyes.

He is not a talkative person at all. Doesn't he do things according to his own temperament?

If the old man didn't have an old relationship with the Jiang family, he wouldn't have been so patient in analyzing the pros and cons with Jiang Huaian.

Outside the front hall, behind a rockery in the yard, two heads suddenly appeared.

[He is indeed the pitiful second male lead. Look at that little face, he is quite cute.

Just because you were willing to rebel in order to save my sister from the palace, and ended up being torn into pieces by five horses and bearing eternal infamy, I can only reluctantly forgive you for filing a complaint. 】

"Sister, what do you think of this young Lord Xie?"

Jiang Youning spoke in a low voice while looking at Jiang Wanrong beside him.

Jiang Wanrong was still immersed in the shocking news that Jiang Youning had just told her.

Combining the information her sister had told her bit by bit, she pieced it together.

She was locked up in the palace by that madman from yesterday, and that familiar-looking young man who came to break off the engagement not far away would die to save her?

"Who's there?"

Before she could answer, the young man in the front hall seemed to sense something and instantly threw the teacup in his hand towards the rockery.

Where did the sound he just heard come from?

How dare you say such treasonous words in broad daylight? You are so shameless.

[No! I wanted to help you get married one second, and the next second you smashed the cup to repay me? ]

[Why don't you cancel this child marriage? You are so stupid. 】

Jiang Youning was almost hit by the teacup, and his inner thoughts came out.

Before he could continue to express his gratitude, a girl suddenly walked out from behind the rockery.

The girl was Jiang Youning.

After giving Jiang Wanrong a few words of advice, Jiang Youning swaggered over.

"Ning Ning! Why are you here?"

Seeing Jiang Youning, Jiang Huaian's face suddenly darkened.

On the side, Lin Xiangyin also quickly spoke up: "Ningning, this is an adult matter, don't get involved, go back quickly!"

Jiang Youning smiled innocently, then looked at Xie Ciyan and bowed, leaving no room for fault.

"Dad, Mom, this is Young Marquis Xie, right? Jiang Jia Youning has met Young Marquis Xie before."

Then, Jiang Youning looked at Jiang Huaian and Lin Xiangyin with a smile on his face.

"Dad, Mom, I heard that this unjust... Young Marquis Xie is here to break off the engagement. Logically, this engagement belongs to my sister, so I came here on her behalf to see what this young marquis looks like.

After all, if one day he regrets his decision, falls in love with my sister, and deceives her into marrying her, how embarrassed would we be?

You know, the daughters of our Jiang family are all excellent. "

Jiang Huaian and Lin Xiangyin looked at each other, and their expressions softened a little.

My daughter is right.

The daughter of his Jiang family is so outstanding. Young Marquis Xie broke off the engagement without even meeting her. What if he regrets it after meeting her one day?

The Marquis' Mansion has a strong foundation and the Jiang family cannot afford to confront it head-on.

So, Jiang Huaian smiled faintly:

"My dear little marquis, I am sorry to embarrass you by not knowing the rules."

Xie Ciyan had never expected that the Sixth Miss of the Jiang family would be so outrageous. Thinking about those unbearable words he had just heard from nowhere, he lost his patience for a moment.

"It's okay. It's getting late, Uncle Jiang. Let's return the tokens to each other and put an end to this farce."

"Okay, Dad, Mom, give him back the token!"

Jiang Youning smiled brilliantly, and his tone was so sweet.

[Young man, you are so irritable. I will teach you a lesson. You will cry later.]

The inexplicable sound rang out again. Xie Ciyan looked at the people in the front hall; they all seemed unaware of it.

So who are these words coming from?

He didn't hear anything before Miss Jiang Liu arrived.

Did she say these words?

Before Xie Ciyan could continue to investigate, Jiang Youning suddenly snatched the token he had taken out from his sleeve.

He then took the token that Lin Xiangyin was holding reluctantly in her hand and stuffed it back into Xie Ciyan's hand.

"Okay, the marriage between the Jiang and Xie families is over. No one will interfere with the marriage of men and women in the future. Young Lord Xie, our Jiang family temple is too small to accommodate you. Please leave immediately."

As he spoke, Jiang Youning coughed twice, as if something was stuck in his throat.

[Now, the fun begins~]
