Chapter 26 The engagement is canceled
Shen Ning didn't give her the chance to play dumb, and said bluntly: "My sister just pointed at me and fainted after saying a few words. What did you want to say?"

Shen Yuyao held her forehead with her hands, frowning: "Ah? I, I can't remember clearly, it shouldn't be anything important."

Shen Ning sneered: "Nothing, that's good, I thought my sister was dissatisfied with what I said and wanted to refute it."

Shen Yuyao pursed her lips, wishing she could bite Shen Ning to death. Did she have to put it so clearly?

Seeing her silence, Shen Ning touched her head and said gently, "Do you want to apologize to your sister? No need to. We are family and we don't have to talk about different things. Just don't steal my paintings again in the future. We are still good sisters."

Shen Yuyao looked at the people around her pointing fingers at her and felt dizzy. This time she really wanted to faint.

The farce was over, some were happy and some were sad. Shen Ning got rid of his anger and felt refreshed, but Shen Hong was furious. Before leaving, he blocked Shen Ning's way and raised his hand to hit him.

Ling Feng who was standing aside was not someone who just sat there and watched him. When he saw him coming, he raised his hand to block him and easily pushed him away.

Shen Hong was an old man and was almost pushed down.

Shen Hong was so angry that he pointed at Shen Ning and cursed: "Okay, you've grown wings and don't even take me seriously. You unfilial daughter, what else can you do besides bullying your sister?"

Shen Ning was calm and composed: "You have so much to say, why didn't you say it in front of His Majesty just now? Besides, bullying her? She was the first to lose face."

Shen Hong was so angry that he couldn't speak. He caught a glimpse of Si Yan walking in this direction and immediately took a few steps back. He was not afraid of Shen Ning, but he couldn't stand Si Yan's aura. He was really blind. He shouldn't have found such a scary husband for Shen Ning.

Shen Hong backed away, pointing at Shen Ning and cursing, "Just wait. If this ruins Yuyao's marriage, you'll be in big trouble."

Shen Ning said arrogantly: "I can wait, but I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that day."

Shen Hong walked away with a pale face. Shen Ning's chest heaved violently and she was very angry. She actually had such a father. It was really unlucky for her.

Si Yan approached and put his arm around Shen Ning's shoulders: "Did he bully you?"

After being angry, Shen Ning felt a little sad again. She lay on Si Yan's chest and said in a muffled voice: "They are both daughters, why does he only protect Shen Yuyao?"

Si Yan said calmly: "He is blind."

The love between father and son cannot be forced. Who has not longed for the kindness of father and mother? But if it is not there, it is not there.

The crowd dispersed, and Rong Wan'er walked at the end, wanting to say a few words to the Third Prince. Perhaps God heard her thoughts, and this time, Zhao Qingxun actually took the initiative to come to her.

Rong Wan'er's heart was pounding, and she felt that she had finally seen the light at last. She adjusted her hair bun and made sure that her clothes were in order before she went to greet him and said, "Your Highness."

Zhao Qingxun still looked aloof, but there was a hint of coldness in his deep eyes. Rong Wan'er didn't notice it, because he usually looked like this anyway.

But the next second, Zhao Qingxun's words made her pause.

Zhao Qingxun pointed at her waist: "Jade pendant."

Rong Wan'er was puzzled and looked down at her waist: "What's wrong with the jade pendant?"

Zhao Qingxun didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Give it to me." Rong Wan'er took it off and gave it to him in a daze. Then Zhao Qingxun's voice rang in her ears, like a thunderclap: "The engagement is cancelled. I will come to your house in person to exchange for the engagement letter another day."

Rong Wan'er felt like she was hallucinating: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? You were fine just now, why did you suddenly..."

Zhao Qingxun seemed to have no patience to even listen to her and interrupted her directly: "You know what's going on."

After saying that, he just walked away.

Zhao Qingxun is such a smart person. He believed Rong Wan'er at first because of preconceived ideas, but after Shen Ning's advice, he immediately reacted.

No wonder Rong Wan'er always wanted to replace the sachet, and no wonder she was hesitant when talking about some things, it turns out that everything has a traceable path.

Late at night, the Duke's Mansion was as lively as a boiling pot.

"What? The Third Prince wants to cancel the engagement. Why? Did you do something that makes her unhappy?"

Rong Wan'er shook her head aggrievedly: "I didn't, it's the same as before, he was fine when I left, but when I came back he suddenly said this."

While thinking, Rong Wan'er suddenly thought: "No, I saw the Third Prince talking to Shen Ning. Today Shen Ning also asked me about the hairpin. Could it be that she was talking too much in front of His Highness?"

The Duke's wife, Guo, frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death: "Shen Ning? I've seen that she is not a good person. Last time, she instigated Shen Rou to run away. Wait, I'll go ask her if she knows."

Thinking of Shen Rou, Rong Wan'er suddenly grabbed her mother and said, "Mom, please take it easy. Shen Ning didn't see Shen Rou today and said he would come to find her."

Guo's face showed no fear at all: "She is just a little girl, how can she do anything wrong? Besides, not everyone can enter the gate of our mansion."

Having said that, Rong Wan'er felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Shen Rou's appearance: "Mom, I see that you and brother don't like her. Why did you let her in in the first place? Look at her now, she's scary."

Mrs. Guo said without saying much, "You don't understand. Jingtang needs a woman like this, Shen Rou, who is just like her spineless mother. But on the other hand, there are also advantages. Look how obedient she is, but she still needs to be taught a lesson. She dared to talk back last time. This time, I will teach her a lesson and I guarantee that she will be obedient in the future."

Rong Wan'er nodded, but couldn't help but ask, "But mother, you said I was going to get married, and I heard that life in the palace was not easy. I won't..."

Before she finished, Guo understood and said immediately, "How can you be the same as her? She is nothing. You are the daughter of our Duke's Mansion. When you get married, you will have so many people backing you up. Who dares to touch you? Besides, I will teach you in the future. I guarantee that you will have a firm grip on your husband's family."

After hearing this, Rong Wan'er immediately became confident: "Mom is right."

Shen Ning knew that the Third Prince was obsessed with his savior, but he didn't expect him to be so eager. The next morning, Zhao Qingxun actually came to him in person.

Shen Ning originally wanted to handle this matter naturally, so he had no intention of avoiding people and directly welcomed people in through the front door.

Since Si Yan was not around, Ling Feng naturally followed closely, fearing that this lady might cause some trouble.

Zhao Qingxun had no intention of chatting, so he asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the room: "Madam, do you have any clues about the origin of the sachet?"

Shen Ning didn't say anything herself, but called the maid out: "If you have any questions, Your Highness, just ask."

Ahhh, is anyone watching? Please vote. Students should all be on vacation. I envy those who have winter vacation. Workers are silently shedding tears.
