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

Chapter 67

His tone was serious, and Zheng couldn't help but straighten her face: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuqing said softly: "I want the wedding ceremony to be done as soon as possible, and the wedding will be held within three months."

…The room fell silent again.

This time there was dead silence.

Zheng fell silent, and Xie Shu did not complain about his daughter being superficial and only caring about appearances.

The couple looked at each other and could see the fear in each other's eyes.

Zheng looked at the servants in the hall, all of whom were her confidants, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at her daughter and said softly, "Did you guys discuss this hasty wedding date?"

The atmosphere around them changed drastically. Xie Wan Ning noticed it and nodded carefully.

Pei Yuqing couldn't bear to see the little girl being questioned by her parents, so she took the initiative to explain: "The younger generation is not young anymore, and my parents are anxious, so they want to speed up the wedding date... There is no other reason."

He spoke the last sentence with difficulty and embarrassment.

Hearing this, Xie Shu and Zheng's expressions relaxed, and their tense hearts slowly began to relax.

That's right, it's no wonder that the Princess and the Duke of Pei are anxious. If it were their son, he would be twenty-seven years old before he agreed to get married. They probably wouldn't even be able to wait for three months.

But Zheng did not easily agree to speed up the wedding date to three months, and only said that they would discuss the wedding date after the day of the proposal.

No matter how anxious you are to get married, you can't rush it. It takes time to match the horoscopes and determine an auspicious date.

What's the point of marrying off your daughter in such a hurry?

Pei Yuqing smiled calmly and didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Wan Ning, the culprit who proposed to get married within March, didn't say a word.

She is not stupid, so how dare she show her eagerness to get married in front of her parents?

Besides, this matter should of course be left to Princess Duanyang, who is also the lady in charge of the family.

This is the biological sister of the current emperor, and they have a deep relationship. The entire court, even the ministers have to give some face to the eldest princess. If they want to marry their son's daughter-in-law as soon as possible, she has to think of a way.

By this time, it was already noon.

It was dinner time, and since the marriage had already been promised, Xie Shu didn't want to chase her away, so Pei Yuqing stayed to have dinner with him.

The dining table was rectangular. Xie Shu and Zheng sat at the top, while Xie Wan Ning and Pei Yu Qing sat facing each other.

The wealthy families believed in not talking while eating, so the lunch was finished in silence.

The weather was hot, and Xie Yanyu did not come back for dinner. At this moment, he did not know that his sister's engagement had been verbally promised to someone else.

Today is not a day off, so Xie Shu has to go on duty after his meal.

The servants were clearing the table when Zheng stood up and led her daughter into the inner room.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't keep you talking any longer." She looked at her daughter and said, "Remember to send Master Pei out of the house every night."

Xie Wan Ning nodded obediently and said, "Mother, I plan to go back to the farm this afternoon."

Zheng was stunned: "Aren't we going to discuss the marriage? Why are you still replying..."

As if she thought of something, she frowned and said, "Tell me the truth, is Prince Pei also at the farm?"

Zheng was an open-minded mother, and Xie Wan Ning was very close to her. Upon hearing this, she said, "The hot spring villa next door belongs to the Duke of Pei's mansion."

"..." Zheng was silent for a few breaths, took her daughter's hand, and said seriously: "You are not married yet, so you can't do anything inappropriate."

"Oh, mother, I know what you are thinking about," Xie Wan Ning held her mother's arm and hummed softly, "Look at him, I feel so embarrassed if I look at him for one more second. He is a gentleman who has never even touched a girl's hand, how could he do anything inappropriate to me." "Do you think I am worried about him?" Zheng glanced at her and said unhappily, "I am worried about you."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and she has long understood her daughter's personality.

He is so brave.

As long as her girl really likes him, she can still be enthusiastic even towards Lu Ziyan, a cold and indifferent killer who keeps people at a distance.

Pei Yuqing's gentle, shy, and demanding good temper would only make her even more unrestrained and she would bully him ruthlessly as she pleased.

Xie Wan Ning's face flushed after her own mother pointed out her true nature. She said unhappily, "What are you talking about, mother? I will never do anything inappropriate to him."

As she spoke, she began to look away feeling somewhat guilty.

Zheng seemed to be very obedient to her daughter and obeyed her in everything, so what else could she say at this moment? Naturally, she would not say any more.

"If you want to go to the farm to play, then go and play for a while," she tapped her daughter's forehead and warned, "Be careful and don't act recklessly."

Anyway, the wedding will be arranged by the elders like them.

My daughter's marriage had been planned for several years, but the engagement was called off a month before the wedding. Now the dowry and other items are ready. If it wasn't for the bad luck, even the wedding dress would be ready.

Xie Wan Ning nodded obediently, and diligently helped her mother lie down before leaving Jinxiu Hall.

When I looked up, I saw Pei Yuqing standing quietly with his back to me on the corridor not far away. He had a slender figure, a back as straight as a bamboo, and a long robe with wide sleeves, which made him look as elegant as a fairy.

Xie Wan Ning blinked, secretly saying that he was indeed attractive, then walked behind him and patted his shoulder.

"Let's go."

Pei Yuqing was slightly startled, turned around and looked at her: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the farm."

Xie Wan Ning wanted to hold his hand, but considering that this was their own home, it would be easy for the servants to see and report to their parents, and their brother would also know, so she gave up and just looked up at him and said, "Didn't we agree last night that we would return to Beijing in the morning and go back in the afternoon?"

It was only afternoon now, so it wouldn't be too late to take a nap before leaving. But she was afraid that if she didn't leave now, her brother would get the news and run back home to arrest her.

If Xie Yanyu comes back, it’s hard to say whether she can get away.

Pei Yuqing had no idea that she was so afraid of her brother. Hearing this, he was a little surprised. He smiled slightly and said, "...Does your mother agree that you can go back to the farm with me?"

"Why don't you agree?" Xie Wan Ning said as she pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go. It's so hot. Let's talk in the carriage."

After just two sentences, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on her forehead. When Pei Yuqing saw this, he didn't say anything more.

The gate to the front yard was very close, so we arrived there in a short while without taking a sedan chair.

After getting on the carriage, the cool air inside made Xie Wan Ning take a breath comfortably. Just as she sat down, there was another person next to her.

Just as he was about to speak, his chin was lifted up and the sweat oozing from his forehead was wiped away bit by bit with a cotton handkerchief.

Xie Wan Ning was startled at first, then she looked at the person in front of her who was concentrating on wiping her sweat, and moved her lips: "You..."

Pei Yuqing stopped what he was doing and looked into her eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xie Wan Ning closed her mouth and held her breath.

He waited until the soft handkerchief on his forehead was removed, withdrew his hand, and took a deep breath.

Pei Yuqing laughed at the sight of him not daring to breathe. He said helplessly, "What are you so nervous about?"
