Chapter 1 Retirement

"Shen Xian's engagement has been broken off!"

"Oh my God, that's Shen Xian..."

"What's wrong with Shen Xian? It's been three years since the third prince left the capital for meritorious service. His Majesty has showered her with awards this time. His future prospects are limitless. If someone looks better outside, he will naturally not want to marry her. "

Shen Xian's legs were a little numb and her mind was a little confused. She was speechless for a moment as she stared at the man in front of her who was looking guilty and constipated but was hesitant to speak.

Shi Yu took out a jade pendant and handed it over, saying slowly: "Ruan Ruan, this token was given to you by your family when we were engaged. Now that we have broken off the engagement, I will return it to you."

Shen Xian blinked and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why he wanted to break off the engagement.

It's not that Shen Xian likes him that much. She can't even remember what Shi Yu looks like in the past three years. It's just that she, Shen Xian, has never been so humiliated. She can't understand that Shi Yu is blind in that eye and wants to be with her. This pearl broke off the engagement to marry another man, went to the northwest, and her mind was confused by the wind and sand?

"...Why?"

Shi Yu continued to be constipated: "I can't help you. I can agree to any request you have, or..." Shi Yu rolled his eyes and suddenly seemed to have thought of some excellent way, and smiled: "If Yes, you can enter the palace as a side concubine, and the engagement can be fulfilled, but you will only be the main concubine..."

Shen Xian couldn't help laughing.

Shi Yu was stunned immediately.

Shen Xian's father is Duke Dingguo who has been fighting with His Majesty for many years, and her mother is personally appointed by His Majesty. She was originally supposed to marry the current crown prince, but her father asked her if she would like to enter the palace and become his mother-in-law. She didn't want to, so His Majesty granted her a marriage to the third prince.

She, Shen Xian, was born to enjoy a blessed life. To be a concubine? She should just live out his sweet dream.

Looking up again, Shen Xian looked as usual and asked: "Your Highness has thought clearly about breaking off the engagement? Will you not regret it?"

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then let's say goodbye. From now on, weddings and funerals will have nothing to do with your Highness. As for the token, I have never carried it with me. If you have time, Your Highness will come to Dingguo Duke's Mansion to pick it up." .”

The look on Shi Yu's face was a little unnatural. He had originally thought of a lot of words to comfort her, but he never thought that Shen Xian would accept it so calmly.

Originally, he was overjoyed when his father gave Shen Xian a hand in marriage, because Shen Xian was unrivaled in Kyoto in terms of family background and appearance, but...

Before he could recover, the jade pendant in his hand was taken away by the maid beside Shen Xian, and Shen Xian had already turned around and left.

It was so crisp and clear that the people around who wanted to watch the show didn't know what expressions to put on.

As soon as Shen Xian, who was leaving carelessly, entered her carriage, her face turned cold, she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and ravaged it, her face flushed with anger.

Today was originally a banquet for Shi Yu to celebrate his return from military exploits. She even ordered this luxurious spring dress to stand out among the crowd, but she never thought that Yu would give her such a big 'surprise!'

Xiang Nong looked at her young lady's increasingly ugly face and couldn't help but say: "The third prince is really blind. Where can he find a second person like this young lady?"

Shen Xian's expression suddenly changed. She snatched the jade pendant from Xiang Nong's hand and raised her hand to smash it to the ground. Xiang Nong immediately grabbed her hand and said urgently: "Miss, calm down! This is worth thousands of gold!"

Shen Xian turned around and threw the jade pendant on the soft chair. There was not even a crack in the jade pendant.

She was so embarrassed today. How can she interact with those noble ladies in the future? How can she still be laughed to death!?

The divorce letter was delivered to their house early. Ye Zhen and Shen Zhongyuan were very angry. They felt even more distressed when they saw their daughter coming back crying. Ye Zhen hugged her and patted her back to comfort her for a long time. Shen Zhongyuan said When she wanted to enter the palace so that His Majesty could punish the third prince, Ye Zhen quickly stopped her.

"Master, if you leave now, how will Ruan Ruan get married in the future?"

Since ancient times, people in the world have been very harsh on women. Although everyone knew that the third prince broke off the engagement without any reason, it would be of no benefit to Shen Xian if the matter escalated. No matter what, he would be criticized.

"Don't cry, Ruan Ruan. Mother is so distressed by the loss of so many little pearls. The brocade you wanted a few days ago has been delivered, and the new jewelry mother from Jincuifang has also bought it for you. This How can you dress well if your eyes are swollen from crying?"

When Shen Xian heard this, it was true. It would be even more embarrassing for her to make herself look ugly for such a man. She had to cheer up and become more beautiful!

The two of them stayed together for a long time before leaving, presumably to put pressure on His Majesty. After a while, her eldest brother who was in seclusion in the academy came back. While scolding Shi Yu, he felt sorry for his sister's eyes and hurriedly found her. Give her the ointment.

In the evening, Shen Xian lay on the beauty's couch and applied it to her eyes. Her left and right hands were soaked and massaged with milk by the maid, and she spoke lazily: "Xiang Nong, what do you think will happen to this girl in Beijing whose engagement has been abandoned?"

Xiang Nong thought for a while and said: "My servant heard that Miss Li San from Huai'an Street was annulled three months ago. It seems that the man didn't like Miss Li San's appearance. Later, her parents sent her to a village in the countryside. , I don’t know what’s going on now, and it’s not a good life even if I think about it.”

"There is also Miss Wang from Muzhi Street. She is miserable. Before she even married, her fiancé married a brothel girl and entered the house. Her real wife had not even entered the house yet. Miss Wang was so angry that she went to argue with her. Who knew? The engagement was broken off, and Miss Wang jumped into the river that night, and now she has passed the first seven days."

Shen Xian: "..."

Why do we have to live or die?

Xiang Nong suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "Miss is different from them. There must be a lot of young men waiting to marry you!"

Shen Xian twitched the corner of her mouth.

She didn't doubt that she could marry again, but the person she didn't want to marry was not as good as Yu at that time.

But one day, Shi Yu impatiently sent someone to retrieve the token. The whole capital knew that the engagement of Shen Xian, the number one Shu in Dacheng Kingdom, had been broken off. The noble ladies who originally disliked Shen Xian were very upset at home. Shen Xian laughed so hard that she felt ashamed and locked herself in the house.

She was tossing the flowers and plants in the courtyard depressedly, when she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps, and a familiar shout came to her ears: "Ruan Ruan!"

There is no one else but her cousin Zhong Mingyue who listens to her voice before seeing her.

When she turned around, she saw a girl in an orange skirt running up to her and shouting: "Ruan Ruan, do you know?"

"what do you know?"

Zhong Mingyue: "You don't know yet!?"

Shen Xian thought she had learned about another family's gossip. Now she was worried about her reputation and how could she listen to the gossip. She waved her hand: "I don't want to know."

"You have to know! Your enemy Xiao Hui, who has robbed you of everything since she was a child, but is always inferior to you, now I don't know what tricks she used, actually climbed up to the third prince and became the future third prince's concubine!"

"What?"
