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

Chapter 23

Day three.

Pei Yuxuan went to the door in person, thinking that the so-called physical discomfort was just an excuse to reject her. It was not until she saw that the girl on the couch looked a little listless that she realized she had misunderstood.

So he showed great concern.

If Xie Wan Ning hadn't stopped her, she would have taken out her jade token and asked the imperial physician to come and take a look.

After this misunderstanding, the two of them became more straightforward and spoke their minds. They became closer and no longer just exchanged superficial courtesies.

After chatting for a while, Pei Yuxuan moved closer and asked in a low voice: "Are the rumors in the capital these days true?"

Xie Wan Ning naturally knew what the rumors about her were. Hearing this, she nodded calmly: "That's right."

"Wanwan, you may not know that I saw you from afar two years ago in the hunting grounds, but your eyes were always on Mr. Lu. At that time, you two stood together, and you looked like a perfect match."

She said with some emotion: "Has it really come to the point where we have nothing to do with each other now?"

"Yes, at that time I always thought he was the best man in the world. Now I think I was just too foolish." Xie Wan Ning did not feel uncomfortable when her silly years were suddenly mentioned.

She would not deny that she had truly loved Lu Ziyan just because she was sober now. She just said calmly: "No matter how low you put yourself, you will only be looked down upon by people who don't like you."

"You should be happy when you like someone," Pei Yuxuan held her hand and comforted her, "He made Wanwan so sad, so let's not like him."

Xie Wanning's eyes flickered as he stared at his new friend and asked tentatively, "Sister Xuan, do you have a crush on someone?"

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly turned to herself. Pei Yuxuan looked a little uncomfortable and dodged, but still said frankly: "Yes."

"...Can you tell me who it is?"

She asked directly, but Pei Yuxuan refused to answer. She pushed her away shyly and said angrily, "I don't know his feelings yet, so I can't say."

"..." Xie Wanning was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "What should I do if he doesn't like you?"

Pei Yuxuan's eyes flickered, and she said firmly: "Even if he doesn't like me, I still want to like him."

Xie Wan Ning asked, "Like I did before?"

With self-righteous love, I foolishly cling to someone, thinking that the other person will be touched and cherish me, but what I get in return is that they take me less and less at heart and take it for granted.

Pei Yuxuan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Xie Wan Ning stopped there and did not ask any further questions. She knew that her brother was a blockhead who loved to preach seriously since he was a child.

Xie Yanyu had none of the arrogance and unrestrainedness of a young man.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to fall in love with a girl.

Even though he was her own brother, Xie Wan Ning had to admit that it would be very hard for any girl to fall in love with a man with such a personality.

She supports her friend to give it a try, but she should know how to stop losses in time and not be like her, getting deeper and deeper into trouble.

In those dreams, Xie Yanyu had not gotten married after two years. Could Pei Yuxuan, who was one year older than him, wait until then?

A forced melon is not sweet. If it is not a relationship between two people who love each other, there is no need to insist on it. This is Xie Wan Ning's experience after letting go of her obsession.

The two girls leaned against the window, brewing tea and chatting until the sun set, when Pei Yuxuan got up to say goodbye.

Under the red sunset, Xie Wan Ning sent her to the gate of the courtyard and found that the person next to her suddenly stiffened. She looked up in confusion and saw a tall man walking towards her.

It was Xie Yanyu who came to visit his sister after returning home. Pei Yuxuan was stiff for a moment, then she smiled brightly and said to the man who had come closer, "Brother Xie is here."

Xie Yanyu cupped his hands and said, "Princess."

"What a coincidence. Wanwan is sick and I can't ask her to see me off." Pei Yuxuan stared at him with sparkling eyes and smiled: "Why don't you thank Brother Xie for seeing me off?"

Xie Wan Ning, who was planning to send it here, said: "..."

Xie Yanyu glanced at his sister and saw that she looked pale, so he nodded slightly and said, "Princess, please wait a moment."

He took the cloak from Er Qing's hand, put it on his sister's shoulders, and said, "It's windy at night, don't be greedy for coolness, go back and rest."

"Got it," Xie Wan Ning nodded obediently and looked at Pei Yuxuan who was raising an eyebrow at her.

Seeing that this girl who just refused to reveal who her lover was, but in a short while, she completely revealed her feelings, she felt a little helpless: "Then I'll have to trouble my brother to send the princess off for me."

Xie Yanyu agreed and patted her head again: "Go back."

After the two walked away, Xie Wan Ning turned her head and asked Er Qing beside her, "Did you see it? ... I mean the princess's intention."

Er Qing used precise words: "I can roughly guess one or two."

"Then tell me, did my brother see it?"

"I can't predict what the prince is thinking." The master and servant slowly turned around and went back to the courtyard. Er Qing's voice disappeared in the wind.

…………

With something on her mind, Xie Wan Ning didn't sleep well that night. She kept wondering whether she should get involved in the princess's feelings for her brother.

The next day, she got up early and refused to stay in her own yard. She dressed up and went to Jinxiu Hall to pay her respects to Zheng.

At that time, the family of three was having breakfast. Seeing her daughter coming, Zheng asked the maid to add a set of bowls and chopsticks. She looked at her expression carefully and asked, "You are willing to go out today, but are you feeling better?"

"I'm not feeling unwell at all," Xie Wan Ning sat down and said with a smile, "I've just been lazy for a few days and don't want to go out."

The court doctor came to check the patient's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him.

There happened to be a court meeting today, so after breakfast, Xie Shu and his son Xie Yanyu went out.

Xie Wan Ning sat next to her mother, took her arm and said coquettishly, "Mother is really capable."

Zheng gently waved her round fan and tapped her forehead with a smile: "Why are you flattering me for no reason?"

"It's not a good thing at all," Xie Wan Ning grabbed the fan and fanned her mother diligently, "After you sent the Lu family away, they finally stayed quiet for a few days. Isn't that a great thing?"

You can't offend the other person too much, but you have to firmly express your decision to cancel the engagement. The method of hiding a needle in a cotton ball must be used well to achieve this effect.

There has been no news from the Lu family for several days, and the wedding is less than a month away. Under normal circumstances, both families should have started making arrangements by now.

Measuring the new house and preparing the dowry, she was so busy that she had no time to rest.

The two families also need to discuss and decide on the details of the wedding ceremony.

But now, neither the Lu family nor the Xie family even posted a wedding sign.

I guess the Lu family also realized that there was really no need to continue this marriage between their two families.
