Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2207 Xiao Fengqi’s Unkind Invitation 1.0

"Escape from marriage?"

Hearing Xiao Fengqi's words, even people like Shen Haolin and Jin Jing who didn't listen to gossip were shocked. They couldn't believe that people like Xiao Fengqi were actually engaged.

"Everyone, this reaction of yours makes me very distressed!" Xiao Fengqi was a little bit dumbfounded when he saw them like this, and said, "Why are you so shocked by the fact that I have an engagement? People like us, have long been Isn’t it normal to have an engagement?”

"Of course not. Some are indeed early, but some have never happened before." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while and said, "I have never heard that Young Master Xiao was engaged before. Young Master Xiao himself never said that the people around him It was never mentioned, so we thought”

"Understood." Xiao Fengqi nodded, "We used to be rivals, so naturally we won't talk about personal matters."

"It's not just that." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, looked Xiao Fengqi up and down, sighed softly, and said, "Personally, I don't think Young Master Xiao would be this kind of obedient to his parents. I thought that a person like Mr. Xiao would marry a girl that I like and the girl also likes me. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao also got engaged early. It was beyond my expectation.”

Xue Ruitian also nodded. Jin Miaomiao said what he thought. Although Xiao Fengqi was their opponent, they had to admit that even in Daxia, he was still a handsome young master. This kind of person should always be dealt with. It's about being with the people you like.

"Miss Jin thinks highly of Xiao, and Xiao is just a common person. Although her true intentions are as the girl said, the wife she once enjoyed is Xiao's confidant and can understand Xiao, but..."

"You are not allowed to be willful due to your responsibilities, Mr. Xiao, right?"

"The Marquis is right. Before the Xiao family falls, Xiao will be the next head of the Xiao family. Naturally, my wife must be selected by taking into account the interests of all parties. Therefore, if you want to find a confidant as your wife, you can also It can only be a dream, but now it seems that this wish may become a reality.”

"Is it because the Xiao family has fallen?" Jin Jing raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Xiao, this is your family after all. Now that it has been defeated, why are you still so happy?"

"Everyone knows this truth. The Xiao family has long been rotten inside, and it is inevitable that it will come to an end. Since the Xiao family is destined to fail, it is better for me to do it myself."

"Young Master Xiao's solitary courage is admirable and admirable. If it were anyone else, even I, I probably wouldn't be able to do it."

"The general is ridiculous, there is nothing we can do about it." Xiao Fengqi twitched the corners of his lips, smiled bitterly, and said, "If there are other ways, I won't be so radical, right?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "It's just that since the Xiao family has fallen, although Mr. Xiao has not been held accountable, his glory is no longer what it used to be. Logically speaking, it is destined that Cha Liang will leave. He once had an old relationship with the Xiao family. , people who have close contact with each other should stay away from each other and avoid being implicated by the Xiao family, especially Young Master Xiao’s in-laws. They should also take advantage of this time to break off their engagement and avoid suspicion with Young Master Xiao. , isn’t it?”

"That's right!" Jin Miaomiao blinked and said, "But Young Master Xiao just said that this trip was to escape from marriage. Could it be that Young Master Xiao's in-laws," she thought for a moment, said, "know what they want?"

"The general and Miss Jin are both right. When the Xiao family collapsed, everyone who was related to the Xiao family in the past had to renounce their relationship with the Xiao family. Even those who had received favors from the Xiao family and were promoted by the Xiao family. They all cut off contact with the Xiao family, and some people even tried to step on the Xiao family. "Xiao Fengqi sneered, "This time, I fully understand the warmth and coldness of human nature. But, as you know, Xiao made a decision. Whose daughter is it?”

"Of course I don't know." Jin Miaomiao looked at Xiao Fengqi, "I really want to know whose girl is so generous." "She is the only princess of the late King Qin and the cousin of the two princes." Xiao Fengqi spread his hands, " It is possible for any family to break off the engagement, but it is impossible for the royal family, not to mention that there is only one person left in the huge Qin Palace. It is impossible to think about it. "

"Wait a minute, the only princess in the Qin Palace." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Is it the Princess Zhenhe?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi nodded, "Does the general know about her?"

"I have some impressions." Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other and then at Xue Ruitian, "We were very young back then, but we had vaguely heard about this princess. If I remember correctly, this The princess has disappeared a long time ago. At that time, the King of Liao also sent a letter asking Shen Jiajun to help find the trace of the princess. Is it correct? "

"The general is right, there is indeed such a thing." Xiao Fengqi sighed, "She has been missing for many years and only recently appeared in Linhuang Mansion."

"Appeared recently? So many people were looking for her, but they couldn't find her. They thought she was no longer alive, but she is still alive."

"When I received the news from the two princes, I had the same thought as the general. It's incredible that she is still alive."

"It is true." The fear is getting worse day by day, but he actually agreed to the engagement between the only princess of the Qin Palace and the Xiao family, which is surprising in itself. "

"Yes, but this marriage was decided by the late king himself. Even if my father and the late King Qin are not happy, there is nothing we can do. It's just..." Xiao Fengqi sighed softly, "The King of Qin has passed away, and the only one in the palace is the princess. Master, she could only go to the funeral in person, but unexpectedly, she mysteriously disappeared during the funeral. "

"How did you disappear?"

"No one knows that her entourage is all there, but she is the only one missing." Xiao Fengqi sighed softly, "When the news came back, the late king also suspected that it was related to the Xiao family, but it was later verified that the Xiao family did not know Therefore, the late king and my father sent people to search everywhere, but they never found it. They even asked the border generals of Xia and Jin to help in the search, but nothing was found. In the end, they had to give up. "

"After all these years, she shows up."

"Yes, I originally thought that the marriage would be over, but almost two months ago, a girl claiming to be Princess Zhenhe appeared in the palace." Xiao Fengqi sighed, "Master Lan and Master Nan specially transferred me back to Linhuang Mansion. The three of us have met this girl who calls herself Princess Zhenhe, but we all feel that this Princess Zhenhe is a little different from what we remember. "

"It's normal to have some deviations." Jin Miaomiao touched her chin and said, "She was still young when she was lost, and she didn't know what she had experienced over the years. It's normal for her behavior to be different from that of a pampered princess. Isn't it?"

"If she doesn't remember what happened back then, it's possible. She was still a child when she was lost, wasn't she?"

"What the general and Miss Jin said are right. We all understand these and have considered them. However, after meeting this princess, the three of us unanimously believe that this Princess Zhenhe may not be that simple."
