Chapter 60 Breaking off the Engagement
Jiang Fei raised her head and saw Wei Mingzhen staring at her with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"I'd like to ask you what's wrong with you." Wei Mingzhen said, pointing to his chin.
Jiang Fei lowered her eyes and saw what was in her hand.
At some point, she tied the sleeves of Wei Mingzhen and Chu Xiu tightly together, as if she was going to send the two of them into the bridal chamber in the next second.
It turned out that when she was nervous, she was not twirling her own sleeves, but the sleeves of these two people.
Wei Mingzhen asked in confusion, "Why are you tying my sleeves and Ziqing's sleeves together?"
"This..." Jiang Fei certainly couldn't say that it was an unconscious behavior caused by nervousness, so she could only frantically make excuses for herself.
"Well, even though something like this happened today, we good brothers cannot become separated because of this, and we cannot sever our ties of friendship. So I'm tying the two of you together, tying you both as husband and wife. Oh no, tying you as brothers, and you'll be good brothers for life!"
Chu Xiu burst out laughing, "Mingzhen, my sister-in-law is so interesting."
"Not yet." Wei Mingzhen turned his face away and said, "That's just nonsense!"
Jiang Fei didn’t know if it was because her ears were ringing, but she didn’t hear any scolding in that sentence, but instead heard a bit of pampering.
It turns out that Wei Mingzhen fell for this trick.
Everyone likes to hear nice words. Just give him a lot of praise and pretend to be cute, and you can turn Wei Mingzhen into a black carp.
Why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, it would have worked. She could have praised him eight hundred times a day.
Jiang Fei reached out to untie the two of them, but Wei Mingzhen raised his hand to stop her, "Let me do it."
Pei Jing withdrew his gaze from the others and asked, "Your name is Zhao...what?"
Zhao Xingbang was crouching and shrinking behind someone, but he stopped when he heard the words, and he didn't even have time to retract his raised butt.
"My name is Zhao Xingbang."
"Zhao Xingbang." Pei Jing repeated the name slowly, tapping his palm lightly with his folding fan. "You haven't answered my question yet."
Zhao Xingbang was so frightened that he was stunned. "I, I replied. I told His Majesty that my name is Zhao Xingbang."
Pei Jing: "..."
Wei Ciying covered her nose and laughed.
Jiang Fei was really impressed by Zhao Xingbang's stupid brain.
My memory is like that of a fish, only three seconds. I can’t remember questions that were asked a little earlier, but it’s okay not to remember them.
Pei Jing certainly wouldn't let him go. Duan Jiu, who was beside him, said, "My prince wants to know why you had a conflict with the Third Young Master Wei."
"Ah? Oh oh oh." Zhao Xingbang was sweating profusely, "We because, because..."
Wei Mingzhen spoke up at the right time, "He and I had different views and opinions on something, and we got a little heated during the discussion."
Jiang Fei finally let out a breath that was halfway through her chest.
I was so nervous that I almost got into a scandal with Pei Jing.
Pei Jing certainly wouldn't believe Wei Mingzhen's excuse, but he was too lazy to waste time on it.
Then he said, "Since that's the case, I'd like to remind you that the mouth can bring disaster. Your father must have taught you this."
As he said this, he stared at Zhao Xingbang without blinking.
Zhao Xingbang was stared at so hard that he almost couldn't hold his urine. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I have taught you, Your Highness is right. I will remember it."
The farce ended here, and Jiang Fei wished she could grow wings and fly away immediately, but there was still something important.
"Third Young Master Wei." Jiang Fei asked, "Can I have a moment with you?"
Wei Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The two walked to the corridor in the backyard of the restaurant.
Jiang Fei looked at the wound on his head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wei Mingzhen's face was also bruised, and he turned away uncomfortably, "It's okay."
It was really embarrassing that the young master of a noble family was fighting in a restaurant like a young boy.
"That's good." Jiang Fei half lowered her head. "Although there are some things that I shouldn't bring up, I still have to say them."
Wei Mingzhen said gently, "Just tell me what you have to say."
Jiang Fei took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wei, please come to my house as soon as possible to cancel the engagement."
Wei Mingzhen was completely stunned, his face full of surprise, "Why suddenly..."
"It's not sudden." Jiang Fei smiled bitterly, "I know you are not willing to get married. Instead of forcing the marriage, it's better to do it as soon as possible..."
"I... I am not..." Wei Mingzhen frowned and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Fei stopped talking, bowed to Wei Mingzhen, and turned back to the restaurant.
Pei Jing was still there, and no one dared to leave. Jiang Fei told Wei Ciying to leave first, and when she passed by Pei Jing, she heard him murmur something.
"What are you planning again?"
Jiang Fei pretended not to hear and walked out of the restaurant without looking around.
Wei Mingzhen had not returned for a long time. Wei Ciying looked towards the corridor worriedly. Just as she was about to look for him, she saw Wei Mingzhen walking back with a dazed look on his face.
Pei Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on the door where Jiang Fei disappeared, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Your Highness, let's go back then." Wei Ciying said.
Pei Jing nodded and walked out of the restaurant.
As soon as he left, the crowd dispersed.
Wei Mingzhen and Wei Ciying walked out of the restaurant, accompanied by a few good friends.
Chu Xiu patted Wei Mingzhen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mingzhen, your fiancée is really interesting. If you marry her, you can turn our house into a stage, with operas to listen to every day."
"You're brave and knowledgeable, and you're still so protective of me."
Someone beside him continued: "He can also recite a complete collection of idioms."
"Shut up!" Wei Mingzhen scolded, but his tone was not cold.
Wei Mingzhen thought about it and felt that if he married Jiang Rufei, the house would be filled with her noisy presence, which would be a hundred times more lively than the current monotonous life.
But, she just asked him to come over to cancel the engagement...
Wei Mingzhen was still thinking about this question until he got on the carriage.
Wei Ciying scolded him with a distressed look on her face. "If father and eldest brother find out, you'll be in trouble. They'll definitely punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall or whipping you. How did you learn such a virtue from your second brother?"
In the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she is closest to her third brother. Her eldest brother, as the prince, likes to put on airs, her second brother is a scoundrel, and only her third brother is a normal person.
"Third brother, you are the most polite person in our mansion, yet you actually got into a fight with someone in public today! If this gets out, those ladies in the capital will be heartbroken."
Seeing that Wei Mingzhen was distracted, Wei Ciying waved her hand in front of him, "Third brother? Are you listening to me?"
Wei Mingzhen finally came back to his senses. "What did you just say?"
Wei Ciying sighed and didn't want to repeat the scolding a second time. Her third brother was absent-minded since he came out of the backyard.
"What did my sister-in-law say when she asked you to go to the backyard?"
Wei Mingzhen frowned and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "She asked me to come and break off the engagement as soon as possible."
