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

Chapter 35

When the song ended, Pei Yuqing looked up and asked, "Are you still listening?"

Xie Wan Ning shook her head and declined: “No.”

Good things should not be desired.

She drank the tea in her cup, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."

Pei Yuqing was slightly stunned, and the fingers that were stroking the strings slowly closed.

Seeing him like this, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "I came here today, drank the tea brewed by Master Pei himself, and was fortunate enough to witness Master Pei's piano skills. I'm already very happy."

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes. Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes uncomfortably and said, "If you have anything to do, you can come here to find me."

Xie Wan Ning nodded happily, and asked with a smile: "Does this count as a private meeting?"

"No," Pei Yuqing straightened his face and raised his eyes and said, "You and I are emotional and polite. I will not do anything beyond the rules for you."

Are you just deceiving yourself?

Xie Wan Ning found it funny but did not refute. She had no plans to get married anyway and did not care much about the so-called reputation of a boudoir.

Even if people knew that they met in private, it wouldn't be a big deal.

She was about to put on her veil and go home, but Pei Yuqing stood up, walked up to her, raised his hand, held her wrist, and led her to the tea table.

Xie Wan Ning didn't expect that he had been restrained and polite the entire afternoon, and only started to make moves on her when she was about to leave. She was so frightened that her pupils trembled slightly, and before she could say anything, she was led to sit down.

Pei Yuqing sat opposite her, holding her with one hand and placing three fingers of the other hand on her wrist.

Start to support the pulse.

"..." Xie Wan Ning was speechless.

The person who was checking her pulse seemed to feel something was wrong and glanced at her: "What are you so nervous about?"

Xie Wan Ning paused, but still couldn't help but said, "I thought you didn't want me to leave and wanted to keep me."

The fingertips on his wrist paused slightly. Pei Yuqing looked at her silently for a few breaths, lowered his eyes, and took her pulse with peace of mind.

That look...

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and said nothing.

After a long while, the person opposite took back his hand and frowned, saying, "You are too angry and worried. You are so young, how can you have so many troubles?"

She clearly didn't look like she was tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night because she wanted to break off the engagement with Lu Ziyan.

How could he know that, contrary to what he guessed, Xie Wan Ning was tossing and turning in anxiety because she was worried that the engagement would not be cancelled.

Xie Wan Ning pretended to sigh deeply: "I'll leave my old illness to you, Doctor Pei."

She smiled and stretched her neck forward a little, pointing at her eyes and said, "See? I haven't slept well these days, and my eyes are blue."

She had been disturbed by dreams some time ago and had not been sleeping well. Later, it was confirmed that the dreams were real, which made her even more restless.

Sometimes it was his own miserable state in the dream, and Lu Ziyan's coldness and indifference.
Sometimes it was Lu Ziyan in real life who was being unreasonable and refusing to let her get married freely.

It would be strange if she had a good pulse after such a long period of time.

Pei Yuqing glanced at her, stood up and walked to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a square brocade box and handed it to her.

"It's hard to control the temperature of the decoction, so I made it into pills for you. Remember to take one pill every day after dinner."

Xie Wan Ning didn't bother to be polite and just reached out to take it.

I just felt that this person was really considerate.

"I'm leaving?"

Pei Yuqing nodded and took her veil and gave it to her.

When she put it on, he raised his voice and said, "Pei Er."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Pei Er walked in with his head down, not daring to look around. Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, and said softly: "I won't see you off in person."

There were many people in the teahouse, and Xie Wan Ning nodded indifferently.

He took Erqing downstairs and hurriedly got into the carriage.

…………

On the carriage back home, Er Qing looked as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

"Why are you looking like that?" Xie Wan Ning reached out and touched her forehead, saying, "There are no taboos between you and me. Just say whatever you want to say."

"Girl..." Er Qing was touched. She finally understood why their girl was determined not to marry Master Lu, but...

She hesitated for a few breaths, moved closer, and whispered, "Although Master Pei is good-looking, isn't he a little too old?"

As for her physical condition, she didn't see anything wrong.

At this age, he is already a generation older than the girl in their family.

Xie Wan Ning laughed and said, "If you didn't know his age, would you think he was very old?"

Er Qing shook her head.

"That's it," Xie Wan Ning said, "Also, I'm not breaking off the engagement with Lu Ziyan because of him. Your daughter is not the kind of person who changes her mind every day."

Er Qing frowned: "If the girl doesn't like Master Pei, why did she spend the whole afternoon alone with him?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning choked, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's the love of beauty that everyone has."

No one would be willing to avoid something that is beautiful and not dangerous.

Pei Yuqing is such a person.

Even when they were alone together, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She unconsciously let down her guard and even wanted to tease him.

To say that I like it, probably not.

When she liked Lu Ziyan, she thought about him all the time. As long as he was in the capital, she wanted to go see him whenever she had time.

She was willing to restrain her temper for him, learn to be gentle and considerate, and learn to be understanding, even though she was not a gentle person at all.

In front of Pei Yuqing, she did not restrain her temperament at all. She was naughty and bold, and loved to tease people. She did not have the slightest manners of a dignified lady.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help but sigh.

It was all because that man always looked so good-tempered, which made her even more outrageous.

…………

After returning to the mansion and getting off the carriage, he was about to go to Jinxiu Hall to pay his respects to his mother when he saw Mother Li, who was beside Zheng, coming to greet him.

After bowing and greeting, Mother Li whispered, "Not long after you left, Prince Lu came and said he agreed to cancel the engagement, but he had a request."

Hearing that Lu Ziyan was here again, Xie Wan Ning frowned reflexively. Then, when she heard that he agreed to cancel the engagement, she was quite surprised and asked, "Really? What does he want?"

Mother Li said, "Master Lu said he has something to talk to you alone. Only after he has made it clear, will he agree to cancel the engagement."

I want to talk to her alone again.

Xie Wan Ning felt a little resistant for a moment. The news that his mistress was pregnant was spreading like wildfire, but she still felt that there was something that had not been made clear between them?
She took a deep breath: "Where is he?"

"In the front yard reception room, the Marquis and the Prince are not in the mansion, the housekeeper is entertaining them, and they have been waiting for the whole afternoon," said Madam Li, "Madam asked me to wait for you here, just to ask your feelings. If you don't want to see them, please ask the housekeeper to send them away."

Xie Shu and his son Xie Yanyu were both on duty. Although Zheng was a female member of the family, as the elder, she could have shown up in person, but she only arranged for the housekeeper to entertain them and did not show up herself.

It can be seen that he is annoyed with Lu Ziyan.

Xie Wan Ning wanted to end this as soon as possible more than anyone else, so she walked towards the front yard: "I'll go see what he wants to tell me."

　I will cancel the engagement soon~~~Please vote~~~
