Chapter 772
Ning Che shrank back as he was yelled at.
But they dared not feel wronged.
After all, Ning Qiwen was right. She was the one who first made a fuss about breaking off the engagement, and now she's going back and forth like this... which is really unreasonable.
Ning Qiwen sat back in his chair, his chest heaving violently several times before he could barely suppress his intense emotions.
"...Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ning Che pouted: "Didn't I have someone investigate that Young Master Wen's character before? After finding out the results, of course I didn't want to marry him. But recently, I've discovered that the truth is not like that."
Speaking of Xiuzhu Gongzi, Ning Che's eyes lit up slightly: "I just learned that Young Master Wen is a person who is proficient in music. The so-called nightly revelry is just because he is composing music! Moreover, those so-called concubines are actually musicians, not concubines at all! Do you know about the Xiuzhu Music Hall that recently opened in Luoyang City? It was opened by Young Master Wen! That Xiuzhu Gongzi is Young Master Wen!"
“Father, do you know how amazing he is? Even Mr. Chen said his spiritual energy is rare!” Ning Che even brought up Chen Zongwen, “Lord Chen is a man who has seen the world. Even he said so, which shows how capable Young Master Wen is!”
Ning Che was in high spirits, thinking that Ning Qiwen would change his opinion of Wen Lang after listening to her, just like her. However, she did not expect that the more Ning Qiwen listened, the more gloomy and ugly his face became.
In the end, Ning Che unconsciously stopped talking, unsure whether he should continue.
The study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and a faint sense of oppression gradually spread, causing Ning Che to unconsciously hold his breath.
"Are you done talking?"
Ning Che nodded.
Ning Qiwen didn't say anything more. He just crumpled up the almost-finished letter of annulment in front of him, threw it on the ground, and picked up his pen to write another one.
"Father!"
“I thought it was something serious,” Ning Qiwen said coldly. “As the son of a governor, he has degenerated into a musician to amuse others. If someone like that becomes my son-in-law, I’ll be laughed at every time I go out!”
Ning Che was completely dumbfounded.
She thought that after listening to her words and realizing that Wen Lang was actually a very capable person, Ning Qiwen would change his opinion of Wen Lang. However, she did not expect that she would push things to an irreversible point.
Ning Che's legs went weak, but fortunately he managed to grab the table in time so he didn't fall directly to the ground.
“Father, he’s amazing. He’s really different from ordinary musicians; he’s not just someone who entertains others…”
Her explanation was somewhat inappropriate.
“There’s no room for discussion on this matter; the engagement must be called off,” Ning Qiwen said. “Also, you shouldn’t go out. I’ll have your mother find you a new husband. You can stay at home and prepare for your wedding.”
Ning Qiwen was talking while his hands were busy.
Clearly, he was determined to call off the engagement.
"Father......"
"Ayu, why aren't you taking the girl back?"
As soon as Ning Qiwen finished speaking, Ayu, who had been hunching over like a quail, could no longer stand there idly. She had no choice but to take two steps forward and half-drag Ning Che away.
As soon as the master and servant returned to the courtyard, they heard the sound of the lock being locked outside.
Ning Che rushed forward and pounded on the door, only to be met with a cold, hard voice: "The master said that you are not allowed to leave the courtyard. Please do not make things difficult for us."
Upon hearing this voice, Ning Che felt utterly hopeless.
Ning Qiwen actually sent guards to watch over her.
Now, she really can't get out...
Ayu looked distressed and helped Ning Che back to his room.
——
Several days passed in this way, and Ning Che was confined to her own courtyard. She had to rely on the old women to bring her three meals a day, but she had no appetite at all. She would take out almost everything that was brought in.
Madam Ning was heartbroken to see her growing weaker day by day.
