Just as Su Luoqing thought of Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen arrived.
Glancing around the room, Ye Zhen asked, "What happened? Why haven't the troops outside moved yet?"
Just as Li Shuhuai was about to speak, Su Luoqing spoke first, explaining what had just happened: "Princess, I came here on Her Majesty's orders, but these two are disturbing me here."
I suspect they are doing this deliberately because they are dissatisfied with the Empress.
"Su Luoqing, stop talking nonsense."
The hat was so big that it startled Li Shuhuai.
“You are my fiancée. I came to help you out of kindness, but you were the one who spoke ill of me first and then inexplicably attacked my cousin.”
He genuinely didn't recognize Qin Xue's provocation and thought Su Luoqing had hurt him for no reason.
Su Luoqing was glad that she was clear-headed enough and never thought of settling for a man like that.
Otherwise, her remaining life would surely be miserable.
No, if she really marries into the Li family, she may not have a future.
"I have already asked the Li family to break off the engagement, and I will soon no longer be your fiancée."
This is a place for women to receive medical treatment. Young Master Li, you should take your cousin and leave quickly.
Ye Zhen said that he must firmly express his intention to break off the engagement, making Li Shuhuai anxious.
Only when he gets anxious can he continue with what he has to do.
She added, "My mind is made up. Once I'm done with this, I will inform Her Majesty the Empress and ask her to make the decision for me."
Half a month ago, the Su family arranged for Su Luoqing to take leave on her behalf, citing her upcoming wedding preparations. Since then, they have been keeping an eye on her and preventing her from leaving the house.
In recent days, only Ye Zhen sent a letter requesting Su Luoqing to see a doctor, and the Su family only allowed Su Luoqing to leave home for fear of arousing suspicion.
This is the second time today, and I never expected her to make a scene in front of the Empress. Li Shuhuai is indeed getting anxious.
“Luo Qing, our marriage was arranged by our grandfathers. It’s not a joke. Our families are already making preparations for the wedding. No matter how bad you are, you can’t talk like this.”
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes.
What a scumbag!
Despite betraying Su Luoqing first, he attributed Su Luoqing's annulment to her bad temper.
“Young Master Li, marriage is indeed not a trivial matter. It can only be harmonious if both parties are willing. Since Doctor Su intends to break off the engagement, I hope you can respect her choice.”
She then said to Su Luoqing, "I also need to go to the palace later, I'll go with you."
Li Shuhuai hated it to death.
What does a widow know about consensual sex?
If it were just Su Luoqing, he could stop her, but if Ye Zhen brought Su Luoqing into the palace, he couldn't stop her.
Qin Xue, whose silver needles he had removed, once again became his mouth substitute.
“Princess, since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Since Sister Su’s parents are no longer here, her marriage will be decided by her grandfather.”
Sister Su was just being a little temperamental with her cousin; they'll be husband and wife in a few days, and there's no such thing as a grudge lasting overnight between husband and wife.
The implication was that Ye Zhen, as an outsider, should not meddle in other people's family affairs.
Qin Xue was initially quite happy to hear that Su Luoqing wanted to break off the engagement.
No woman wants to share her man with someone else, but her relationship with her cousin Shuhuai was more than just a simple arranged marriage.
She was unwilling, but had no choice but to endure it.
But after being treated with those two needles by Su Luoqing, she changed her mind.
If Su Luoqing dares to lay a hand on her, she will tear Su Luoqing to pieces. Only if Su Luoqing marries into the Li family can she torment her.
Therefore, not wanting Ye Zhen to help Su Luoqing break off the engagement, she smiled and said to Ye Zhen, "Princess, I came here today to do something for the poor people of the Charity Hall."
She turned around, took out a stack of silver notes from the box held by the maid, and presented them with both hands, saying, "Princess, this is a small token of my appreciation."
My mother once said that everyone loves money, and often the most direct and effective way is to use money to buy wealth.
The Qin family has no shortage of money.
She had learned before she came that Ye Zhenyuan was originally a poor man, but he was lucky enough to inherit the property of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the emperor's reward, which is why he is where he is today.
In her view, Ye Zhen's establishment of this charity hall was nothing more than a publicity stunt, and in reality, it was all about making money.
Even if a poor person suddenly becomes rich, they can't shake off their inherent poverty and squalor.
She felt that Ye Zhen was just like that, otherwise why would she shamelessly ask for everyone's donations?
Ye Zhen glanced at the money box but did not take the silver notes from Qin Xue's hand.
The money box was full of silver notes. The Qin family was even richer than she had imagined. Why not take advantage of such a fat sheep that was delivered to her doorstep?
She then feigned a hint of greed and urged Li Shuhuai to leave, saying, "Dr. Su has errands to attend to, Young Master Li, please leave."
Qin Xue noticed Ye Zhen's greed and realized that he was dissatisfied with what she had given him, so she took out another stack from the box.
Ye Zhen remained unmoved.
Qin Xue was unhappy. Although she was not short of money, there were 100,000 taels of silver notes in this box.
She brought it out to show off, not for Ye Zhen's benefit.
But Ye Zhen wanted it, so she urged, "Let's go, let's not disturb their consultation."
Qin Xue had no choice but to grit her teeth and stuff the entire box into Ye Zhen's hands. "Princess, my cousin came here sincerely to help, and I also came here sincerely to donate. I hope that the princess will grant our request."
She needed to get her cousin Shuhuai to stay and dissuade Su Luoqing from breaking off the engagement, and she also needed to stay here and watch over them.
She absolutely forbids her cousin Shuhuai from having any intimate contact with her.
Ye Zhen smiled genuinely.
They got 100,000 taels so easily. They were easy targets. He laughed and said, "Since you two are so kind, Young Master Li, why don't you go and help out at the men's clinic? After lunch, you can rest for an hour before continuing."
She then looked at Qin Xue, "Would this young lady like to accompany me on a tour of the Charity Hall, or would you like to return first?"
In Qin Xue's eyes, Ye Zhen's appearance was nothing short of greedy.
