Mr. Zhao had already prepared a way out for his precious daughter, and chose the most handsome and outstanding first son in Anyang City as her husband. The

reason why he helped the Meng family was because he secretly fell in love with Meng Zhao.

Merchants who have been working hard in the business world value interests the most, and naturally will not do things that are not beneficial to themselves.

When Mr. Zhao helped, he mentioned Meng Zhao several times in front of Madam Meng and praised him highly.

Madam Meng was also a smart person. Every time Mr. Zhao saw Meng Zhao, he was full of joy, as if he was seeing his own son. She naturally knew what it meant.

After the Meng family overcame the difficulties and made a comeback, Madam Meng asked Meng Zhao to bring the betrothal gifts to the Zhao family to propose marriage.

Mr. Zhao was very satisfied with the Meng family and could not find any fault with them. They had a pleasant conversation during the dinner and he hurriedly asked his daughter to come out to meet the guests.

Miss Zhao was shy. She showed herself in the front hall, bowed, and then retreated to the backyard.

Miss Zhao was born in a famous family. She was outstanding in appearance, well-educated, and talented. She was a perfect match for Meng Zhao. She could be said to be the most suitable person to be a daughter-in-law in Mrs. Meng's mind.

The Meng family received the kindness of the Zhao family in the past. Mrs. Meng would never allow Meng Zhao to betray his loyalty and break his promise and take the initiative to propose to break off the engagement.

Before Qingying appeared, Meng Zhao had no intention of breaking off the engagement, but after he fell in love with Qingying, he had the intention of breaking off the engagement.

But it was not so easy to break off the engagement, and he did not dare to make a promise to Qingying, fearing that she would be disappointed.

Although the couple in bed were hugging each other tightly, their hearts seemed to be far apart. They both looked worried and did not know what the other was really thinking.

The next day, after lunch, Meng Zhao took out an exquisite royal blue porcelain bottle and handed it to Qingying.

Qingying took the porcelain bottle and looked at Meng Zhao in surprise: "Young Master, what is this?"

"This is the best rouge in Anyang City. I asked Meng Wu to buy it from Guixiangfang this morning. Do you like it?"

Qingying opened the lid and saw that the pink rouge in the porcelain bottle was delicate and moist, with a clear texture. It was obviously very valuable, and it was a level better than the box she saw yesterday. Qingying

closed the lid, she looked at Meng Zhao, and asked: "Young Master, this box of rouge cost a lot of money, right?"

Meng Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied calmly: "Not much, just a little more expensive than the ordinary rouge on the market."

In fact, it was not as Meng Zhao said.

Guixiangfang is the most famous rouge shop in Anyang City. The rouge produced by this shop is often sent to the wives and daughters of dignitaries for use. The production is very small, and ordinary women may not be able to buy it even if they have money.

Meng Zhao wrote a personal letter and asked Meng Wu to take it to find someone. He used several connections and spent a lot of money to buy a box of rouge.

Qingying is not really that stupid. She has naturally heard of Guixiangfang and knows that the rouge there is hard to get.

Meng Zhao must have spent a lot of effort to buy this box of rouge.

Qingying's heart was suddenly touched. Maybe Miss Zhao didn't even have rouge from Guixiangfang, but Meng Zhao bought it for her.

She curled her lips and smiled at Meng Zhao: "Thank you, young master. I like this box of rouge very much."

Qingying smiled, and Meng Zhao's frown also relaxed.

He held her little hand and said affectionately: "Qingying, wait a little longer, I won't let you suffer any grievance."

Qingying didn't quite understand what Meng Zhao meant. What was wronged, wait a little longer, she was a little confused.

Was he referring to the incident of Miss Zhao snatching her rouge?

She wouldn't keep it in mind. She slept for a while yesterday and woke up this morning. In fact, she didn't care anymore.

When the two were talking in the room, Mrs. Meng hurried in, her face full of joy.

"Zhao'er... Zhao'er..." Madam Meng shouted happily as she entered the room: "Mother has found the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old tiger bones. Tomorrow, we can ask the miracle doctor to come and treat your leg disease."

Meng Zhao and Qingying also showed joy on their faces when they heard it.

Meng Zhao looked at Madam Meng in surprise: "Mother, is this true? Are there really thousand-year-old tiger bones in this world?"

"Of course it's true, how could mother lie to you?"

Meng Zhao was very happy when he thought that he would be able to stand up soon.

He fantasized that after his legs were healed, he would not need Qingying to take care of him so hard. He would take care of Qingying instead. If Qingying fell in the future, he would be able to pick her up.

If Qingying wanted to buy rouge, he could also go out with her and protect her by her side, and would never let other ladies bully her.

Thinking of this, the urge to regret the engagement became stronger. He wanted to give Qingying a legitimate status as soon as his leg healed, so that she could be his wife legitimately.

Today, my mother is in a good mood, so I might as well take this opportunity to talk to her about this.

Meng Zhao turned to Qingying and said, "Qingying, please go outside for a while. I have something to say to my mother alone."

"Yes."

Qingying responded respectfully, and immediately turned around and retreated, and considerately closed the door when she left.

Listening to Qingying's footsteps gradually fading away, Meng Zhao looked at Madam Meng and said solemnly: "Mother, I have someone I love, and I want to cancel the marriage with Miss Zhao as soon as possible."

Madam Meng thought Meng Zhao was going to say something, but she never thought he was talking about canceling the engagement.

When she heard this, her eyes widened and she looked at Meng Zhao in shock.

After being stunned, she shouted angrily: "Cancel the engagement? You are simply talking nonsense! Do you know where this thousand-year-old tiger bone is now? It is now in the mansion of the Zhao family. If you cancel the engagement, you will never be able to stand up again in this life!"
