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

Chapter 156

Xie Wan Ning felt that what he said made sense and that he said this because he cared about her, so she nodded seriously.

Seeing that the atmosphere was too serious, she smiled and said, "I understand. I will definitely keep your advice in mind."

Although he knew that she was teasing him on purpose, Ji Chengfeng still said, "You and I are of the same generation, there is no need to use honorifics."

Xie Wan Ning nodded obediently, and then asked curiously: "My cousin likes to be quiet and rarely goes out for banquets. Since he is willing to come here today, maybe he has a girl he likes and he knew that she would come too, so..."

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you go to the Colosseum and perform, and get a rose branch to give to the girl. Perhaps, the marriage will be established. If so, my aunt and my mother will be so happy."

Entrusted by her younger sister, Zheng was very concerned about her nephew's marriage. Apart from the marriage of her eldest son, it was the thing that concerned her most recently.

As a daughter, Xie Wan Ning couldn't bear to see her mother worrying so much, so she naturally wanted to share Zheng's worries.

She originally thought that her guess was correct, but in the end, Ji Chengfeng just raised his eyes to look at her and said lightly: "Cousin, you are overthinking. I am just supposed to leave Beijing for a southern tour in a few days. Before I leave, I came here to join in the fun."

“…” Xie Wan Ning choked.

Join in the fun...

She looked at the trunk of a towering tree not far away.

I really want to ask, since you're here to join in the fun, why are you hiding here?
After thinking for a while, she decided not to continue, but changed the subject and said, "Thank you, cousin, for helping me out today. Otherwise, if they saw us..."

"It's just a small favor," Ji Chengfeng said indifferently, "You don't need to thank me."

Although he said so, how could Xie Wan Ning, who had received such a favor, not be grateful?

Thinking that he was about to leave Beijing, she said with concern: "Then I wish my cousin a smooth southern tour, to avoid villains, to be surrounded by loyal people, and to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Okay," Ji Chengfeng smiled slightly, "I will definitely listen to my cousin, stay away from villains, avoid the water, and be careful of epidemics."

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, feeling quite embarrassed.

She pretended to be a charlatan only because she had a sudden inspiration and was in a hurry. She felt a little embarrassed that he trusted and valued her so much.

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say. She turned sideways to look back and said dryly, "I'm going back. Do you still want to stay here and have some peace and quiet?"

Ji Chengfeng was silent for a moment, then hummed softly and said, "You go ahead. I'll take my leave now."

Xie Wan Ning frowned slightly. Today was an alternative blind date party. Since this person came, he should have the intention of meeting a girl. Why...

But after all, it was someone else's private matter and there was no reason for her to force it, so she nodded gently and bowed to say goodbye.

Ji Chengfeng stood under the peach tree, glancing sideways at her receding figure. The pink petals fluttered in the spring breeze, creating a very beautiful scene.

…………

Xie Wan Ning returned to the table and had just sat down when Pei Yuxuan next to her looked over. Before she could say anything, Cao Ying'er on the other side said, "Where did Wan Wan go? She was just complaining about not seeing you."

As soon as Xie Wan Ning heard the gentle and graceful voice, she paused slightly, but did not show any sign of trouble. She smiled very naturally and said, "Something went wrong in the kitchen. I went to take a look. Fortunately, it's nothing serious. You can just have fun without worry."

Before Cao Ying'er could say anything, Pei Yuxuan shook her hand, pointed at the beast fighting show that had already begun, and said unhappily: "Okay, why are you always staring at my sister-in-law? Look! That's where you should be staring..."

Obviously, Pei Yuxuan had a good relationship with Cao Ying'er, so she made such a joke, but she didn't know that Concubine Shu intended to hire Cao Ying'er as the eldest prince's consort. But Xie Wan Ning didn't care about this. She looked at the two girls' clasped hands, and her heart really jumped.

...I don’t know whether Cao Ying’er’s hands have been washed.

Just thinking of this, she almost wanted to pull Pei Yuxuan's hand back.

Fortunately, I managed to hold it in.

Following Pei Yuxuan's words, Cao Ying'er looked inside the venue, her gaze brushing past Xie Wanning's feet inconspicuously. When she saw a circle of mud on the edge of the pair of small and exquisite embroidered shoes, the gentle smile on the corner of her lips suddenly froze.

When Xie Wan Ning looked around and realized that many people were not at the table, her tense heart gradually relaxed.

With so many people not here, even if they suspect someone has discovered the affair, they won't necessarily suspect themselves, right?

However, even if Ji Chengfeng had not reminded her, she would not be able to have too much interaction with Cao Ying'er in the future.

After all, the scene just now did give her a great shock.

The second half of the beast fighting show had already begun. After seeing what happened, Xie Wan Ning had no intention of watching the show. However, she didn't want Cao Ying'er to notice anything, so she could only try her best to be fully engaged in the show.

As the sun set in the west and we saw off the guests, our faces, which had been smiling all day, looked a little stiff.

She rubbed her cheeks, tilted her head to look at her brother who had stayed until the end and asked curiously, "Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

Xie Yanyu nodded softly and glanced at the servants behind her.

Xie Wan Ning was greatly surprised. She and her brother had never avoided talking to servants before, but since her brother had indicated so, she naturally sent the servants away.

After the surrounding followers had retreated far away, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you have any secrets to tell me?"

Her eyelashes flickered, and her clear pupils were full of curiosity.

"..." Xie Yanyu was silent for a moment, then he reached out and flicked her forehead, saying, "Be more stable. This doesn't look good."

But in his heart he was thinking that his beloved sister seemed more innocent after getting married than when she was still at home.

It can be seen that only if one lives a comfortable life after marriage without being tortured can one maintain such "innocence".

Xie Wan Ning cried out in pain when her forehead was flicked by a finger. She covered her forehead with her hands and groaned, but she was angry but dared not say anything.

Seeing this, Xie Yanyu thought he had really hurt her, so he pushed her hand away and looked down. He didn't see a single red mark, so he still stroked it with his fingertips, but he helplessly scolded her, "You're becoming more and more squeamish."

Xie Wan Ning snorted and said nothing.

Xie Yanyu withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Xie Wan Ning's eyes lit up.

"..." Xie Yanyu glanced at her, his fingers itching again, after suppressing them, he said: "I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but I am worried that maybe it was because of me that the princess made such a rash decision about who to marry."

"Princess?" Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, "But what's wrong with Zhao Rui?"

...It doesn't make sense. How could Princess Duanyang not find out everything clearly when choosing a husband for her daughter?
