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

Chapter 40

"Okay, okay," Xie Wan Ning didn't want to argue with him about this issue anymore, and nodded indifferently: "You are clean, you are the cleanest, remember to return the marriage certificate."

How much I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!
Lu Ziyan clenched his teeth and pulled a smile at the corner of his lips: "It's okay, we have a long way to go, and there will be a day when you believe it."

The tone was very creepy.

Xie Wan Ning was too lazy to argue with him. She glanced at him and looked away, then walked towards the door.

When they passed by each other, Lu Ziyan stretched out his arm to block him. He pursed his lips and stared into her eyes: "... You really have nothing to do with Pei Yuqing, right?"

"I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that you might do something wrong just to make me angry."

He could not forget the scene of her and the old man looking at each other lovingly that day.

She also praised the old man for his good looks.

Whenever I think of it, it feels like something stuck in my throat, making me extremely anxious and depressed.

Xie Wan Ning just thought his behavior was ridiculous and didn't bother to say a word to him.

They are all going to cancel the engagement.

Does he understand what breaking off the engagement means?
If she didn't want to argue with him and cause any more trouble for the cancellation of the engagement, she really wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks.

The girl in front of him didn't answer, her expression was very calm, as if she didn't hear what he said at all. Lu Ziyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he leaned over to look her in the eye: "Don't get too close to other men just to piss me off."

"Let's solve the matter between you and me by ourselves. Don't drag other men into this..."

"do you know?"

"If you want to break off the engagement, I will obey you and will never pester you again," his voice gradually became lower and his eyes softened. "But Wanwan, once is enough. Don't use other men to anger me again in the future."

He was quite close, and his deep voice was right beside her ear. Xie Wan Ning turned her head away, her hands clenched into fists, and under his compelling gaze, she took a deep breath and said, "Are you done?"

"Get out of the way when you're done."

Even though she was suppressing her impatience, Lu Ziyan had been leading troops on campaigns since he was sixteen years old, and his insight was extremely sharp, so his eyes suddenly dimmed.

After a few moments of silence, he stepped aside to make way.

Xie Wan Ning walked towards the door, and Lu Ziyan followed behind her.

When I walked out of the reception room, the sky was already filled with red clouds and it was sunset.

Lu Ziyan stood where he was, staring quietly at the slender figure.

She walked further and further away, never looking back.

My originally confident heart began to sink bit by bit.

He suddenly shouted: "Wanwan!"

Xie Wan Ning paused.

Lu Ziyan strode up to catch up, looked down at her indifferent expression, and said, "Look up at me."

Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked up and glared at him, her face full of confusion.

Lu Ziyan laughed at her glare, and his tense heartstrings slowly relaxed. "Okay, you can go now. I'll send the marriage certificate tomorrow."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She felt like she didn't even recognize this person anymore.

Did he really take the wrong medicine?

…………

Xie Wan Ning was too lazy to walk, so she simply got on the sedan chair and returned to her own Jianxia Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her brother bending over to help her take care of some delicate flowers in the yard.

She was slightly startled, then quietly walked to his side and whispered, "Brother, why are you here?" Xie Yanyu glanced at her sideways, without stopping his hands, and said, "From your tone, do you not want me to come?"

"Of course not," Xie Wan Ning tilted her head and smiled at him, "A few days ago, I heard from my third cousin that there is a kind of thorny flower in the Western Regions that is very beautiful. Can you get me a few plants to grow?"

Her brother worked in the Supervisory Office. His rank was not high, but it was a position of real power. He must have known about the things that the Western Region merchants brought to the capital.

As expected, while Xie Yanyu was washing his hands, he asked, "What is the name of that flower?"

Xie Wan Ning said: "Mandragora blue, also known as the Western Region Rose."

"Are you sure you can keep them alive?" Xie Yanyu pointed to a few orchids he had just trimmed and said in a light tone: "If I hadn't come, they would have died."

"Isn't it?" Xie Wan Ning smiled broadly and said confidently, "I have you, my brother. You will train me well, right?"

Xie Yanyu: “…”

He glanced at his sister and changed the subject: "Have you met Lu Ziyan?"

Xie Wan Ning hummed and nodded, "Yes, he promised to return the marriage certificate tomorrow."

"Okay, let him take the betrothal gifts back tomorrow." Xie Yanyu patted her head, and without asking any further questions, he just said gently, "Let's just let it go. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Xie Wan Ning's anxiety these days was noticed by her family.

Hearing this, she was moved and slapped her brother's hand away while nodding obediently.

…………

Thinking that she would have to sever ties with the Lu family and Lu Ziyan tomorrow, and that everything in her dream would never happen again, Xie Wan Ning had mixed feelings that night.

Excitement, melancholy, relief, all kinds of feelings came over her one after another, making her toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.

She tossed and turned until three o'clock in the morning and couldn't sleep. She suddenly remembered the pills Pei Yuqing gave her during the day.

The brocade box was placed on the dressing table. She did not call Erqing in, but got out of bed by herself, without even putting on her coat, walked over a few steps, took a pill and swallowed it.

The pill went down my throat, the light fragrance blending with the bitterness of the medicinal herbs, and the taste was surprisingly not bad.

She thought of the scent of that person, which seemed to have a faint smell of herbs, and fell asleep unknowingly.

She couldn't sleep well because she was worried about something.

Fortunately, when I woke up the next day, I heard the news that the Lu family had returned the marriage certificate.

The betrothal gift was returned intact.

As for the New Year and festival gifts given by the two families over the years, it is too late to count them all.

There were also quite a few things that she gave to Lu Ziyan, and that Lu Ziyan gave to her, but neither of them mentioned it and just let it go.

Perhaps it was because the matter that I had been worrying about for so long had finally settled and the heavy stone in my heart was completely put down.

That afternoon, Xie Wan Ning developed a fever.

This time she wasn't pretending to be sick, she was really sick.

The whole person was drowsy due to the illness.

In front of his eyes one moment was Lu Ziyan's frosty face, the next moment was the tragic scene of Er Qing being stripped of her clothes and beaten to death.

Looking at the little girl who was still crying in coma, Zheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up, "This child keeps everything to herself. She looks fine, but I didn't expect that she is so sad inside."

They have seen over the years how much their girl likes the boy from the Lu family.

You are ruthless and have to break up this time, but you still feel reluctant in your heart, right?
The mother and daughter are connected by heart, and Zheng also shed tears.

Xie Yanyu advised: "Mother, go and have a rest. I'll watch over you Wanwan."

Mrs. Zhang at the side also advised: "Madam, you should also take care of yourself, otherwise you won't know how to blame yourself when the young lady wakes up."
