Chapter 17: Broken Engagement
After Chen Shurong returned to his room, he simply washed up and went to bed. He didn't take a nap today and was extremely tired.
Xie Yunzhao rode his horse back to the Duke of Lu's mansion, where he practiced swordplay in the yard. He couldn't sleep and felt happy.
The third princess went back and threw a tantrum. She was the princess, so why should all the glory be taken away by a county lady?
The fourth princess was also listless, so he tried to protect Yongjia.
After the prince returned, he smashed the study in the East Palace, but the old woman held on to it and was fine.
Chen Shurong, actually dared to ask for the Princess's Mansion!
After Xie Yunzheng got back, he smashed the study room in Chaohuiyuan. Why is Xie Yunzhao still alive?
The old tutor pestered the princess, asking whether the prime minister was speaking for the princess's mansion.
The eldest princess was annoyed and sent the man to sleep in the study. The old tutor became even more jealous and thought it must be...
The Prince's family didn't expect Chen Shurong to take over the treasury, and planned to go to the Princess's house tomorrow to inquire about the situation.
That night, only Shen Shurong slept soundly.
Late at night, a man in black moved through the darkness and slipped into a courtyard with a tall gate.
"Beautiful?"
The man took the teapot and poured a cup of tea. "Envy?"
"Oh, now we have a treasury..."
"Wait, what do you mean by having a treasury?"
"Your father and your elder brother's thoughts, they didn't get it, you got it first."
"I didn't get it, it's hers."
"Isn't hers yours?"
"Wrong, what's hers is hers, and what's mine is hers too."
"Haha." The man was helpless and continued to fight back, "Can you please give me some convenience when I need it?"
"It depends."
"I'm happy for nothing."
"I'm getting married, why are you happy?"
The man was completely defeated, "Then what are you doing here, just to show off?"
"Why, jealous?"
"Go away! Just looking at you makes me sick."
…
Early the next morning, Lu Ziqian came to the Duke of Lu's Mansion early on purpose, but came back empty-handed.
It’s been five days now, and I still can’t get a call out, no posts are being answered, and no one can be stopped.
Xie Yunzhao had already rushed to the Princess's Mansion for breakfast.
The wife of the Duke wanted to feed his share to the dogs. He hasn't even married a daughter-in-law yet, but he's already gone to have dinner with someone else. Is he marrying his daughter-in-law or his son?
The doorman looked at Second Young Master Xie, who had arrived earlier than yesterday, and suppressed his laughter. He led someone into the front yard and asked someone to inform the princess.
Xie Yunzhao rewarded him with ten taels of silver, and he would have to bother him early in the morning in the future.
The concierge thanked him profusely, saying that the son-in-law was very kind and friendly, and even gave him some money as a tip.
Sui Han came to invite someone again. Xie Yunzhao winked at Qingzhu, and Qingzhu understood that this person had to give more.
Chen Shurong hadn't done her makeup yet. Her long black hair was casually scattered, with a few strands of hair falling around her fair neck, making her look even more lazy.
She was wearing a coat, lying on the couch with her sleeves hanging down, looking comfortable and relaxed, as if the troubles in this world had nothing to do with her.
It was the first time that Xie Yunzhao saw her like this. His heart was pounding. Did she mind him seeing it?
But he seemed to disturb her rest.
"Am I here too early?"
Shen Shurong nodded slightly. She was indeed not in high spirits and thought that she didn’t need to get up so early in the future.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be waiting when I get here. Call me when you're done sleeping."
Chen Shurong wanted to laugh again. Silly boy, I'm afraid you can't wait to stay here.
"Thank you for coming, Second Young Master. I remember that you like Biluochun, so I happened to make some new tea. Second Young Master, please try it."
Xie Yunzhao turned around and frowned. Jin Zhi, the big girl who stopped him before.
Yin Zhi Sui Han also frowned slightly. Why did she suddenly like the Second Young Master?
Is there any drug in the tea?
Chen Shurong's eyebrows were indifferent, and it seemed that she had figured it out. Without Xie Yunzhao, she couldn't even enter the Duke's Mansion, let alone have the chance to climb into Xie Yunzheng's bed.
Xie Yunzhao did not move. Firstly, he had no good impression of her, and secondly, he was afraid that she would poison him, which was abnormal.
Jin Zhi was a little embarrassed. Why didn't anyone say anything? She knelt down and bowed: "Second Master, the princess fell into the water and frightened me. I was too worried, so my words were a bit offensive. I hope you can forgive me."
The room was still silent. Xie Yunzhao knew that Shen Shurong intended to let him handle it himself. "Get up. You are also worried about the princess."
"Thank you, Second Young Master. You will often accompany the princess for meals in the future. You can tell me what flavors you like and I will tell the kitchen."
Xie Yunzhao was not a stingy person, and he was also someone close to her. "Thank you."
"Second Master, you are too polite." Jin Zhi poured tea for Xie Yunzhao and slowly approached Shen Shurong, "Princess, I really know I was wrong this time."
"Okay, you don't have to avoid me anymore."
Jinzhi thanked Fuli and said, "I will help you dress up."
Xie Yunzhao withdrew his gaze and drank his tea. He couldn’t keep staring.
He looked at the teacup honestly, then quickly ran to the dressing table, staring at it unconsciously.
Her long hair was tied in a bun, adorned with pearl hairpins, which gradually added color to her. It was not until the scarlet lip balm was pressed against her beautiful lips that Xie Yunzhao realized how long he had been staring.
He hastily looked away, his heart pounding, he knew he was doomed.
If you have never obtained it, there is no question of losing it, but now if anyone dares to snatch Rongrong from him, he will fight to the death.
Chen Shurong dressed up and sat over. Breakfast was served and the two of them ate quietly.
The invitations from Ye Man, daughter of the Vice Minister of Works, and Qiao Yue, daughter of the Chief Academician of the Imperial College, were submitted again.
When Shen Shurong saw Ye Man's name, her heart ached. When Ye Man died, she cried for two days. As a result, after her death was faked, she saw her in the palace.
Like her, her husband also faked her death and sent her to the dragon bed, two years earlier than her.
She changed her fate in this life, what should Ye Man do? Her wedding is in a month.
"We have to go out today, so we don't have much time. Please reply to the two ladies."
"yes."
Shen Shurong was stirring the bird's nest porridge, but couldn't eat it. How could she cancel her engagement?
Xie Yunzhao stopped and stared at her. What did her little sister say that made her unhappy?
"Did they make you angry?"
Chen Shurong raised his eyes and asked what he was thinking, "Is there any way to cancel the engagement between the two of us?"
bite--
Xie Yunzhao dropped the spoon and his face turned pale. She... wanted to break off the engagement with him?
Several maids also widened their eyes. The princess wants to cancel the engagement?
Seeing his expression change, Shen Shurong suddenly came to his senses and waved his hands hurriedly, "It's not about us, it's..."
No, Shen Shurong found that there was no way to say it.
What will happen in the future?
Xie Yunzhao was panicking. If not us, then who could it be? Who did she want to cancel the engagement with?
Seeing that he was getting even more panicked, Shen Shurong dismissed the servants and held his wrist, "Don't be nervous, I'm talking about Ye Man. She is engaged to Minister Jia's second son and will be married in a month."
Xie Yunzhao knew that Jia Caiyong said, "Leave it to me."
"What?" Shen Shurong didn't understand what to leave to him.
"Rongrong wants them to break off their engagement. Leave this to me."
He... doesn't ask for reasons?
Shen Shurong's doubts were written on her face. Xie Yunzhao held her hand, his eyes deep: "Whatever Rongrong wants to do, you can leave it to me. I don't need a reason, as long as you don't break off the engagement with me."
