The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 12

Anyone who had the dignity of being her wife would not have committed such an indecent act with her personal maid in her courtyard.

Lu Ziyan knew how deep her feelings for Erxia and Erqing were.

After leaving her family and marrying into the Wuyuan Marquis's Mansion, the people closest to her were these two personal maids.

But he was afraid that he had not hurt her deeply enough, so he took Erxia to the backyard and beat Erqing to death.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning even regretted speaking sweet words to Lu Ziyan during the day.

What brother Zi Yan, is he worthy of it?
Perhaps the gentle and considerate childhood sweetheart had long disappeared and turned into a bad person, but she just refused to believe it.

The master's gaze stayed on her for a long time, Erxia had noticed it a long time ago. She was a little confused and aggrieved after being left out at home for a day. After making the bed, she bowed deeply towards the dressing table and said, "But what did I do wrong to make you angry?"

Xie Wan Ning had a kind and gentle personality, and her two personal maids always spoke whatever they wanted in front of her, never being overly cautious or treading on thin ice.

Hearing this, she paused for a moment before saying, "Nothing."

With such great skills, she had already figured out how to deal with the maid who had backstabbed her in her dream.

Even though she had made up her mind not to marry Lu Ziyan and repeat the same mistake, she didn't dare to keep Erxia by her side for long.

I vaguely remembered that in the dream, after Erxia was promoted to a concubine, Liu Manrou felt annoyed for a long time.

It just so happens that both of them were born as maids. If you look closely, Erxia's status as a maid who came with the mistress's dowry is even higher than that of Liu Manrou, who was once a concubine. She is not inferior to her at all and is full of fighting power.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xie Wan Ning's face. As a master and servant, she was willing to fulfill her wish.

Just find an opportunity to send the person to Lu Ziyan. As long as Liu Manrou can be unhappy, how enjoyable will she be to watch a dog fight a dog?
Seeing her master smile, Erxia felt relieved, thinking that she was being too sensitive.

It was not until the next morning, when Xie Wan Ning went to pay her respects to Zheng and left her alone in the courtyard, that Erxia was finally certain that she had violated a taboo at some point and was disliked by her master, who had always treated her closely.

…………

My cousin's coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner, and the family has to prepare a banquet. Xie Wan Ning has not gone out in the past two days, but has been helping her mother and aunt to prepare the banquet and send out invitations to invite guests.

It was not until the fourth day after Lu Ziyan returned that rumors of him keeping a mistress finally spread in the capital.

Just like in her dream, the rumor was so detailed that even the street, door and house where Liu Manrou was kept were clearly known. One could tell whether it was true or not just by asking around.

The news was reported by Mother Li herself. At that time, Xie Wan Ning was holding a brush and writing invitations by hand, inviting her close friends to attend her cousin's coming-of-age party.

Hearing this, she just paused the tip of her pen slightly, without even dropping a drop of ink, and continued with her movements.

Four days was enough time for her parents to be convinced of her determination to cancel the engagement. This news came just in time, prompting her parents to go to the Lu family as soon as possible to cancel the engagement.

In the evening, Xie Wen and his son returned home after work. Their expressions did not change much when they heard about this.

After a few days, they had found out almost everything. After all, Lu Ziyan did not deliberately hide the existence of Liu Manrou.

Zheng's brows were filled with worry. She looked at her delicate daughter and asked, "Wanwan, are you sure?"

The marriage that the childhood sweethearts had arranged was less than two months away, but at the last minute, it was about to fall through.

Xie Wan Ning nodded slightly and said firmly: "My daughter will never marry Lu Ziyan in this life." "Okay! Since my daughter really doesn't want to get married, it's not a pity to cancel this marriage." Xie Wen put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Dad will go to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to cancel this marriage. It's not right for our girl to marry under grievances."

Xie Yanyu said: "The child will go with you."

"As soon as this news came out, our family went to cancel the engagement. I'm afraid the Lu family won't agree," Zheng said gloomily, "We will have to tangle with them for some time."

"From my daughter's point of view, it's hard to say." Xie Wan Ning didn't think so. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Lu Ziyan is deeply in love with his mistress. I'm afraid he would like to cancel the marriage with me."

...But it is true that the ladies of the Lu family may not give in easily.

The family agreed to cancel the engagement, and after dinner, Xie Wan Ning and her brother walked out of their parents' yard.

As the night gradually fell, the brother and sister walked side by side for a while under the setting sun. When they were about to separate, Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes to look at his sister's expression. Seeing that she did not look sad, he felt relieved and advised: "Lu Ziyan is blind. It is the best thing for you to break off the engagement with him. Now that you have made the decision, you should not let him bother you anymore."

"Got it," Xie Wan Ning smiled slightly, "Don't worry, brother, I won't do anything that I'll regret again."

She never wanted to experience the pain of regret and anger in her dream to the point of vomiting blood again.

…………

The next morning, the father and son of the Xie family went to Wuyuanhou Mansion in person.

Inside Jinxiu Hall.

Xie Wan Ning raised her hand to pour tea for Zheng. Seeing the dark green in her eyes, she felt guilty: "My daughter is unfilial and has caused trouble for me."

"That's not true," Zheng smoothed her hair lovingly and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

She knows her own daughter well. Wanwan has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young, and has had a relationship with the young master of the Lu family for many years. If she had not been really hurt, she would never insist on canceling the engagement if there was a second way.

As the mother and daughter were talking, Liu came in with her daughter.

There are three branches in the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion now. Xie Wanning is the daughter of Xie family, so breaking off the engagement is not just the eldest branch's business. Xie Wen must have told his brother about it before going to the Lu Mansion, so Liu and Xie Ruyu must have known about it by now.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xie Wanning there. Liu looked calm, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she smiled and praised: "Wanwan's Yanluo skirt is very nice today. Which embroidery workshop had it custom-made?"

Xie Wan Ning felt warm in her heart, she stood up and greeted him, then answered, but her eyes were looking at her cousin behind her.

In the past few days, Xie Ruyu has been hiding in her own yard. She is not actually very close to her cousin, and she did not try to get close to her because of the feeling of protection in her dream.

So, this was the first time Xie Wan Ning saw her after waking up from the dream.

Xie Ruyu was wearing a scarlet cloud-forged skirt and following behind her mother. As soon as she entered the door, her eyes found her cousin sitting on the soft chair. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

The two sisters' eyes met. Seeing her cousin like this, Xie Wan Ning smiled slightly: "Ayu, do you have something to tell me?"

"I usually see that you sisters don't play together, but I didn't expect that she would protect you so much. After all, you are sisters connected by blood." Liu on the side said with a smile.

When she mentioned the cancellation of the engagement, her tone was very normal, without any trace of strangeness.

Zheng naturally appreciated it, and a smile appeared on her face. She said to her daughter, "I have something to talk to your aunt, you two go and have fun by yourselves."
