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

Chapter 24

Xie Wan Ning just thought about it, and felt relieved. She said earnestly, "My mother is still amazing."

"That's enough. What girl would be so happy to break off the engagement?" Zheng glanced at her and saw that she was indeed very happy. She said with a smile, "Don't worry. Now we are just waiting for the Lu family to return the marriage certificate. I have discussed with your father that if the Lu family does not return the marriage certificate within three days, he will go to the Lu Mansion again."

"I'll listen to my parents." Xie Wan Ning nodded obediently and raised her hand to pour tea for her mother.

Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "You must have been bored at home these days. Tomorrow is your grandmother's birthday. Let's go out and have some fun."

Xie Wan Ning's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

Isn't she feeling very depressed?

I haven't gone out for several days and have been staying in the yard until I'm almost getting moldy.

Fearing that Lu Ziyan would pester her, she dared not leave the house. If she met him on the road, it would be a bad situation.

Now that there are no such concerns, Xie Wan Ning said repeatedly: "I haven't seen my grandmother for some time, of course I have to go."

"You are really filial, and it's no wonder your grandmother loves you so much," Zheng smiled slowly, smoothed her daughter's hair, and said softly, "Have fun when you go, and don't let those troubles affect you. Even if my son never gets married, I can still support you."

"..." Xie Wan Ning blinked quickly, hugged her mother's shoulders, and said softly, "I'm sorry to make you worry about me."

"Raising a child for a hundred years means worrying about him for ninety-nine years. How can I blame you for meeting the wrong person? It's your brother..." Zheng shook her head slightly and said helplessly, "I am really worried about you."

The eldest son is in his twenties, and he always looks uninterested when talking about his lifelong affairs.

He had met most of the noble ladies of marriageable age in Beijing over the years through various banquets, but none of them had made him agree to a marriage proposal.

If that were the case, Zheng could just think that her son had no one in mind and was unwilling to just marry someone casually, so she wouldn't be so anxious.

But he didn't even want the maid that his mother arranged for him, who was familiar with human affairs.

Other families would have arranged for a baby at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but this one in her family is already at the age of coming of age, and yet...

Zheng sometimes had to wonder in her heart...

But these words cannot be said to my daughter.

The mother was worried about her brother's affairs. Xie Wan Ning, as a little girl, naturally advised her: "Don't worry, mother. My brother is a beautiful woman. He will have no problem finding a wife. It's just that the one he likes hasn't appeared yet."

"...I'm just afraid that he won't find anyone he likes." The Xie family has good children, so if there's someone he likes, there won't be any trouble in finding a wife.

But Zheng was not worried about this. She sighed quietly, wondering how she could tell her daughter about her brother's bedroom affairs.

…………

Zheng was born in the Marquis of Qucheng Mansion, which is also one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing. She is the younger sister of the current Marquis of Qucheng, and married into the Marquis of Xuanping Mansion, which is also a marquisate. On her mother's 60th birthday, she brought her husband and children back early in the morning to celebrate.

The weather today is also very nice, with clear skies, a gentle breeze and a comfortable temperature.

The main gate of the Xie family opened, and two carriages engraved with the family emblem slowly drove out.

The carriage of Zheng and Xie Shu was in the front, and the carriage of Xie Wanning and her brother followed closely behind.

When they got off the carriage, the sun was already scorching. Uncle Zheng was welcoming guests. When he saw the Xie family's carriage arriving, he hurried over to greet it.

After a few greetings, a new guest arrived, so he asked the prince Zheng Ye to lead the way and welcome the guest in. The Xie family came early, but there were already several groups of people in the elegant hall, all of whom were relatives of the family, or married women like Zheng who returned with their husbands.

The old lady of Qucheng Hou is sixty years old, with gray hair on her temples. She has a graceful demeanor and looks like a kind old lady.

She was sitting in the first seat, talking to someone. When she saw her eldest daughter and her family coming, she ignored everything else and waved at Xie Wan Ning, saying, "Come quickly, Wan Wan, and let grandma take a good look at you."

Xie Wan Ning and Xie Yan Yu, brother and sister, kowtowed together and said a few words of birthday wishes. Then they walked up to her happily and called her affectionately, "Grandma."

"Hey," the old lady of Qucheng Marquis held her granddaughter's hand, looked at her lovingly, tilted her head and smiled at her eldest daughter-in-law, "Our Jiajia Wanwan looks a little thinner."

"Yes, you have lost weight." Madam Li looked at her niece and said angrily, "Your two cousins ​​keep talking about wanting to visit you. They sent you an invitation the other day, but you rejected it."

Zheng helped explain, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. Wanwan caught a cold two days ago and is just recovering now."

Upon hearing this, the old marquis's wife asked a few more questions with concern.

I wanted to keep my granddaughter by my side and have a good chat with her, but there were too many guests today, and soon several groups of people came to celebrate my birthday.

Not wanting to restrict her, he patted his granddaughter's shoulder and said softly, "Go to the flower hall to play with your cousins."

Xie Wan Ning was peeling almonds for the old man. Upon hearing this, she put the peeled almonds into a plate, bowed, and left the hall.

Before leaving, I took a special look around. Among the four members of my family, except for my mother who was still in the hall entertaining guests with my grandmother, my father and brother had already left at some point.

Xie Wan Ning was very familiar with the Qucheng Marquis Mansion and didn't even need a maid to lead the way. After telling Er Qing to go to the flower hall first, she started to walk around by herself.

Not long after leaving the elegant hall, I met several waves of guests. The atmosphere in this dynasty is open, and there is no need for men and women to be shy among the guests. If you meet someone you know, you can chat for a while without worrying about gossip spreading.

Xie Wan Ning did meet a few noble ladies she was familiar with. When they saw her, the protagonist of the rumors that had been circulating recently, they did not show any strange expression. After chatting with them for a few words, they went their separate ways.

I walked and stopped along the way until I got further and further away. I felt a little tired and was about to go to the flower hall to play with my cousins. When I looked up, I saw a slender figure appearing at the corner ahead.

She couldn't help but show joy. She didn't expect that Princess Pingning had also come. Just as she was about to call her, she saw the person opposite her.

Xie Wan Ning was stunned and almost suspected that she had made a mistake.

Why is her brother here too?

In the distance, Xie Yanyu stood under a flower tree, looking down at Princess Pingning in front of him.

From Xie Wan Ning's perspective, the two people over there seemed to be talking about something.

After she realized what was happening, she raised her eyebrows slightly and prepared to approach quietly, but a shadow appeared behind her on the grass and someone grabbed her wrist through her sleeve.

She turned around in surprise and met a pair of warm eyes.

"Shh..." Pei Yuqing made a hushed gesture to her, bent down and moved closer, then whispered, "If you go over like this, they'll be embarrassed."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She didn't want to go over there directly, she actually wanted to eavesdrop.

After hearing what he said, Xie Wan Ning turned her head away in shame to avoid his sight.
