Chapter 32

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my Ye Mu's daughter!"

Ye Mu didn't expect that his daughter would agree with him so quickly, and he couldn't help feeling extremely relieved.

[Wow! I thought Aunt Yuan would be sad and reluctant, but I didn’t expect her to agree to cancel the engagement! Aunt Yuan is so generous! She cuts off the relationship when necessary, like a heroine!]

[No wonder there is a man who can't forget Aunt Yuan and who never marries for her sake.]

Ye Shu and Gu Xun couldn't help but prick up their ears. This was related to Yuan'er's future happiness!
However, Gu Jiangmeng did not continue to say who the person was who was obsessed with Ye Yuan.

"Daddy will cancel the engagement on weekdays!" Ye Mu didn't want to wait any longer.

"Okay!" Ye Yuan responded.

Ye Mu opened the box and took out the original letter of appointment.

When I opened it, I saw the words "Conclude a happy marriage, betrothed..."

Ye Mu looked at the letter of appointment with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

I agreed to the marriage without thinking clearly, and I always felt guilty towards Yuan'er. Now it seems that I almost pushed Yuan'er into the fire pit.

This time it was by chance that the son-in-law discovered that the Prince of Ningkang County was gambling. If he hadn't discovered it, Yuan'er's life after getting married would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, everything is still in time!
"Master, Prince Ningkang wants to see you!"

Hearing this, Ye Mu turned around and said, "Please let him in."

I haven't been there yet, but he's here.

Ye Mu took the letter of appointment and walked towards the front hall.

"Greetings, Prince Ningkang!" Ye Mu bowed.

"Master Ye, there's no need for you and me to be so polite. Our families are relatives." Xiao Lang smiled and helped Ye Mu up.

"No, no, the prince is still the prince, I dare not overstep my authority."

"Someone, serve the prince tea!"

After Prince Ningkang took his seat, Ye Mu asked, "Why did the Prince come to the Ye Mansion?"

Xiao Lang laughed, "Lord Ye, I sent someone to the Ye Mansion a few days ago to ask if we can discuss the wedding date. There is no definite news, so I am anxious and came here in person."

"Prince, I want to be filial to my parents for a few more years, that's why I am hesitant."

"As the saying goes, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. If this woman is always around her parents, she will inevitably be laughed at by others!"

"I asked someone to calculate and found that the eighth day of next month is a good day, so why not set it on that day?"

"Prince, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

"Master Ye, please feel free to say whatever you want to say."

"I want to cancel the engagement!"

"What!" Xiao Lang slapped the table and stood up.

Ye Mu was not frightened by Xiao Lang's slapping of the table, but sat upright.

Could it be that Ye Mu broke off the engagement because of Xiao Yanchen's gambling?
Thinking of this, the anger on Xiao Lang's face instantly disappeared.

"Master Ye, I don't know why you want to cancel the engagement? Everything is fine, and we are going to discuss the wedding date soon."

"I know everything the prince has done."

Yes, Gu Xun was present at the time, and Xiao Lang knew that Gu Xun would definitely inform Ye Mu about this matter. So he rushed to Ye's house as soon as he finished his lunch.

I had thought that we could set the wedding date before Ye Mu knew about this, and that would be it. But I didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"Master Ye, Yanchen was just confused for a moment. He was instigated by the servant beside him and couldn't help but play a few times. After I found out, I punished him severely. I believe that after this lesson, he will never dare to gamble again."

"Prince, whether the prince was instigated or not, he still went to gamble. The current emperor has strictly prohibited gambling, and I will never tolerate it! Therefore, I have decided to cancel the engagement!"

"This is the engagement letter from that year. Please take it back, Your Highness!" "Are you really going to do this, Lord Ye?" Xiao Lang's face was full of anger.

"Yes! I hope the prince can take back the engagement letter. This will be good for both our families!"

Xiao Lang could only blame himself for his bad luck. Even if he told the emperor about this, he would still be in the wrong.

"I hope Lord Ye will not regret it!" Xiao Lang took back the letter of engagement angrily and left the Ye Mansion without looking back.

As soon as Xiao Lang left, all the people who had been hiding nearby came out.

"Dad!" Ye Yuan called sweetly.

"You! Yuan'er? Why were you peeking over there?" There was no trace of blame in Ye Mu's tone.

"Besides me, there's also Sister and Xiao Jiangmeng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shu came out from the side holding Gu Jiangmeng.

They all knew that Prince Ningkang came to the Ye Mansion.

When Gu Jiangmeng heard this, he whispered in Ye Shu's ear that he wanted to go and see how his grandfather broke off the engagement.

Ye Shu couldn't resist her daughter's voice, but she also couldn't let her know that she could hear her voice, so she found an excuse and walked out holding Gu Jiangmeng.

By chance, halfway through, he saw Ye Yuan sneaking towards the front hall. Ye Shu was worrying that he had no reason to go to the front hall, so he followed him.

In this way, the three people witnessed a relatively complete version of the broken engagement scene.

"Dad, you are really amazing. The prince was so angry, but Dad still confidently called off the marriage!"

[Yes, yes, yes! Grandfather is so mighty! Look at the livid face of Prince Ningkang when he left, hahahaha~]

Ye Mu looked at his daughter lovingly, "It was all Dad's fault. I drank too much and agreed to this marriage, which led to the current situation. In the future, Yuan'er will see if there is anyone she likes. Dad believes that the one Yuan'er likes will not be bad!"

"Yeah, thanks, Dad!"

Dali Temple, interrogation room.

Whip after whip hit his body, making "pa, pa" sounds.

The blood-red whip marks gradually appeared on the man's shirt, one after another, looking extremely frightening.

But this was in the torture chamber after all, so it was not surprising.

The whipping sound gradually stopped.

"Will you recruit?" Liu Zhang asked.

"No, no, no one ordered me to do that! It was Ye Mu! Ye Mu killed my brother and sister-in-law, and stole my little niece!"

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the interrogation room.

"General Gu!"

"Master Liu!"

After the handover at noon, Gu Xun only briefly informed Liu Zhang of the circumstances of the arrest. After all, he himself was not very clear about the details.

After returning, Qingshan told him that Li Erniu was called out by someone and walked into a deep alley. Qingshan and Luchuan followed him.

Gu Xun also had to bring people to Heyue Restaurant. It would be bad if he couldn't find Li Erniu when he got there. After all, he had to rely on the Dali Temple to capture Li Erniu.

After Qingshan and Luchuan learned of Li Erniu's whereabouts, they split into two groups. Luchuan followed Li Erniu, while Qingshan waited in front of Heyue Restaurant.

Unexpectedly, after Li Erniu went to the alley, he couldn't find the person who called him out. Li Erniu was also puzzled and waited there for a while.

Who knew that not long after, several people ran out of the alley with knives in their hands, and it seemed that they wanted to kill Li Erniu.
