Chapter 257 Dissolution of Engagement
Until she woke up the next day, Bai Qianxi's condition seemed not to have recovered.

He looked listless and unwilling to talk too much to people around him.

Bai Wangqi was anxious when he saw his master like this, but there was nothing he could do.

Just at this time, Mrs. Zhao came to visit.

When he saw Bai Wangqi, he felt like he saw some hope. His master was in the current state, and perhaps only the person in front of him could persuade him.

After all, they are just subordinates and it is inconvenient for them to speak up about many things.

I heard that Xier has been locking herself in her room since she came back from the palace yesterday, and her mood is very wrong.

This made her worry.

"Madam, please persuade my daughter well."

Bai Wangqi spoke respectfully, while on the other side, the Bai family also received the imperial edict from the palace.

Bai Yan led the others to kneel down and listen to the eunuch's preaching in front.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Order decrees that, for special reasons, the daughter of the Bai family, Qianxi, who has a virtuous character, was once offered to the current third prince as his wife... Now that the matter is done, the engagement between the two is cancelled. From now on, the marriage of the man and the woman has nothing to do with each other. I decree this."

A long list of imperial edicts ended.

The general meaning is that the arranged marriage between Bai Qian, Xiye and Bei Ling was done out of necessity in order to uncover the prime minister's conspiracy to rebel.

Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need to continue with this engagement. Now Emperor Dongli has personally issued an edict to dissolve the engagement between the two.

"Father-in-law, this..." Bai Yan still didn't react.

Why did this happen suddenly.

Even if this engagement was made out of necessity, it concerns a woman's reputation and cannot be treated lightly.

"Master Bai, please accept the order." The eunuch reminded with a smile, pretending not to notice the other party's hesitant expression.

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Bai Yan's face became completely gloomy.

"This evil girl!"

Holding the imperial edict tightly in his hand, Bai Yan gritted his teeth.

She had finally caught the eye of the Third Prince, but now the engagement had been broken off like this. From now on, who could she marry?

"Daddy, did my fifth sister do something to displease the Third Prince and His Majesty? That's why..." Seeing Bai Yan's face gloomy, Bai Qianyi also stood up at this time.

A soft voice sounded.

But the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.

After a period of recuperation, her injuries finally recovered, but this incident also greatly affected her status in the entire family!

Daddy's attitude towards him is no longer as doting as before...

The culprit of this incident is that bitch Bai Qianxi!

There was endless hatred in Bai Qianyi's eyes!
After hearing the reminder from his good daughter, Bai Yan quickly thought of this.

"go!"

"This rebellious girl! No matter what, I will teach her a lesson today!" Bai Yan led his men and headed towards the direction of the County Lord's Mansion!

Seeing this, Bai Qianyi hurriedly followed. How could she be left out of such a good thing as Bai Qianxi being taught a lesson!
Seeing this, the others hurried to follow, especially the brothers Bai Yulang and Bai Yushu, who were worried that Bai Qianxi would be wronged.

Don't dare to be negligent in the actions!

At this time, the County Lady's Mansion also received the imperial edict.

Bai Qianxi, who had locked herself in the room, finally came out at this time.

Seeing Mrs. Zhao standing outside the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Aunt, when will you..."

"Son, I just got here."

Just by looking at Bai Qianxi, Madam Zhao could tell that what the man in the mansion said was not a lie. She really didn't look well now.

"Xi'er you..."

"I'm fine, aunt, don't worry," Bai Qianxi shook her head, with a forced smile on her face that looked particularly forced.

At the same time, it also made Mrs. Zhao feel very distressed.

"Go ahead, child. Don't keep the eunuch waiting too long." Madam Zhao wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

She had originally intended to tell Xier about her true relationship with the Zhao family, but now it seems...she can only take things one step at a time.

The two soon arrived at the front yard.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had already been waiting there. It was Deyu.

"My Lady County Lord, long time no see." When Xi Deyu saw Bai Qian, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face.

But compared to him, Bai Qianxi's attitude seemed particularly indifferent.

Madam Zhao was a little surprised to see that the favorite person in front of His Majesty was so nice to Xier.

However, when she thought about who Xier's mother was, Mrs. Zhao could understand her enthusiasm.

Seeing that Bai Qianxi was in a bad mood, Deyu tactfully stopped talking and took out the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and Mandate, proclaims that there is now a Princess of Dongli County, Qian Xi Xuyang, who is intelligent and clever, modest and able to keep her wealth to herself, and able to be frugal despite being noble. She is now named Princess Xuyang, and is granted a golden book and generous salary. This is my decree!"

"Your Highness, congratulations. Please accept the order." Deyu bowed slightly.

Bai Qianxi took the imperial edict from the other party almost numbly, and she seemed to have not reacted yet.

Mrs. Zhao showed surprise, but then she reacted quickly and took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into Deyu's hand.

At the same time, he put on a smile on his face, "This child is just too happy. I didn't react for a moment. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Everyone knows it."

Deyu looked at Bai Qianxi with some sympathy. He really didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on him.

This person turned out to be that person's child. Now that things have turned out like this, I'm afraid that the fate between her and the Third Prince is completely over.

Deyu knew clearly why Bai Qianxi behaved like this, and he also understood. He politely said goodbye to Madam Zhao and saw her off.

Deyu leaves.

Bai Qianxi still stood there in a daze without moving. Madam Zhao turned around and looked at him with a distressed look.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a noise outside the door.

"Bai Qianxi! You evil girl!"

"What on earth did you do? You actually caused His Majesty to break off the engagement with the Third Prince!"

Bai Yan led his men to the front and started questioning.

Looking at Bai Qianxi, he wanted to kill her with his eyes! Behind Bai Yan, Bai Qianyi watched all this with pride.

Bai Qianxi!
Even if His Majesty granted you a marriage with the Third Prince, it would still be cancelled!

After this, let’s see if you can still get married in the future!

Bai Yan was equally annoyed, seeing that the Second Prince had not been favored by His Majesty recently because of the matter of abolishing the Prime Minister.

Seeing that they are about to lose this support, if the fifth brother can really be with the third prince, it will be of great help to the Bai family.

But now all of this has been ruined by this evil girl!
Thinking of this, Bai Yan looked at the person in front of him who seemed indifferent no matter what he said, and became even more angry.

"You rebellious girl, you are deaf now, right? You can't hear me talking to you at all, right?"

Bai Yan, furious, took a few steps forward and looked like he was about to take action.
