Of course it was the speculation that Qi Yue had broken off the engagement.
First, he drank excessively and wrote unsatisfactory poems, which created an impression on Ning Zhongjian that he was not enterprising.
Letting Aunt Zhao send people to make such a fuss again made Ning Zhongjian aware of the opposition in the family.
Finally, I will send you some calligraphy sage’s copybook to pinpoint Ning Zhongjian’s lifeline.
If he proposed to cancel the engagement at this time, it would be the right time and place, and it would be difficult for Ning Zhongjian not to agree.
When Ning Yujin thought about this series of things, she couldn't help but lament Qi Yue's methods.
Just think about it, Aunt Zhao is not stupid, otherwise she would not have fought for her place in the Ningbo Mansion. But why did she specially send people to make things difficult for Qi Yue today, and she happened to be bumped into by the housekeeper?
Woolen cloth?
Of course what Xiangyue said was reasonable, but Aunt Zhao and the second young master Ning Yuanfeng couldn't possibly say that they would risk everything for Ning Yuning, right?
The most likely explanation is that Qi Yue said something to Aunt Zhao, and everything today was just a show.
"If Aunt Zhao is willing to cooperate, then Qi Yue's purpose will be obvious. I don't want to do what he wants except to break off the engagement."
After talking a lot, Ning Yujin made a concluding statement, perfectly presenting her reasoning.
Xiangyue was listening while making shoe patterns. When she heard this, she stopped moving her hands, raised her head and looked at Ning Yujin, and said with some disapproval: "Our Ningbo Mansion is a high-ranking family.
It’s too late for others to curry favor with you. Mr. Qi is just a down-and-out scholar. If he doesn’t seize this opportunity properly, why would he want to break off the engagement? Miss, you must be overthinking.”
Ning Yujin lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and did not explain too much to Xiangyue. All the reasons were hidden in the fan-shaped shadow formed by her long eyelashes.
What should I say about Qi Yue?
Are the golden scales just a thing in the pond? They transform into dragons when the storm strikes.
If this marriage was called off, it would not be Qi Yue who would regret it, but Ning Zhongjian.

It didn't take long for Xiangqiao to come back, followed by a thin and dark man. Who else could he be if he wasn't the mistress?
Not to mention, Xiangqiao is white and fat, while the mistress is dark and skinny. When they stand together, there is always an indescribable sense of harmony.
Xiangyue quickly put down her work, welcomed the person in, and pulled Xiangqiao aside: "I asked you to get some news, why did you bring the person here?"
"Sister Xiangyue, please stop scolding her. I insisted on following her." The third son stretched out his hand to touch his head and smiled honestly, "I just wanted to come over and ask if the rose cakes made by Sister Xiangyue are still available. I
I want two to take back to my mother."
"Yes, just wait, I'll pack it for you." Xiangyue stood up and walked out with a smile, not forgetting to look at Ning Yujin.
Well, did you see that Xiao Xiangqiao had no conscience? She said she wouldn't give it to her, but she gave it secretly.
Xiangqiao seemed to realize what they were laughing at. She grabbed her clothes, stamped her feet, and shyly ran out: "Sister Xiangyue, let me help you."
"It takes two people to make a cake, ugh!" Ning Yujin pretended to be helpless and sighed, secretly glancing at the mistress.
The mistress looked at the door and smiled silly: "This shows that Xiangqiao is diligent."
Ning Yujin: "..."
What kind of logic is this?
Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?
But seriously, the mistress arrived just in time, so she no longer had to listen to Xiangqiao's confusing description, and then she could make up her own mind and reassemble it.
The course and outcome of the incident were pretty much what she had guessed.
After Qi Yue presented the copybook, he immediately apologized, saying that his family was in decline and he had no fame. In short, he had degraded himself into a mess and expressed one idea.
The token tore up the marriage contract and concluded the marriage.
Qi Yue was willing to take the initiative to break off the engagement, which was something Ning Zhongjian wanted to do.
To put it this way, it’s not that he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, but that the person himself doesn’t like it.
As for him, he had an explanation both internally and externally. He didn't have to endure Aunt Zhao's daily troubles, and he could also dream of becoming Wang's father-in-law.
Of course, he also pretended to persuade her, but Qi Yue had made up his mind, so he just took back the jade pendant he had given him and watched Qi Yue tear up the marriage contract.
Qi Yue broke off the engagement, and it would be outrageous to stay in Uncle Quan Ning's house any longer.
Ignoring Ning Zhongjian's repeated pleas to stay, he casually packed his luggage and left Quan Ningbo's residence, not even asking for any of the money Ning Zhongjian gave him.
"When I was little, Mr. Qi just walked out of the side door. Alas, he only brought a few books and two paintings with him. I don't know how he will live in the future."
Ning Yujin looked at the look of her mistress feeling sorry for Qi Yue. She slapped her thigh and laughed: "Why are you, like Xiangqiao, always thinking about all these things all day long?"
"Hehe." When the mistress heard the mention of Xiangqiao, she felt shy for a moment, and two blushes seemed to appear on her dark skin.
Ning Yujin was not worried about Qi Yue at all. Instead, she asked about the situation at Piao Ling Xiaoyuan: "Qi Yue is gone. Aunt Zhao, mother and daughter, must be proud."
"That's not true," Xiangqiao, who went to make rose cakes, finally came back and answered at the door, "Didn't the master deal with Aunt Zhao's distant cousin? She didn't even make a fuss, she just took some money.
They were sent away, and they went around saying that I was wise and handled the situation well."
"Ha." Ning Yujin laughed, leaned back, slightly closed her eyelids, her eyes were as clear as clear water.
"Let her be proud for a while."
Once a person becomes complacent, it is easy to get carried away.
Xiangyue handed the packaged rose cake to the mistress and asked Xiangqiao to send him out.
When she came back, she brought a bowl of wolfberry and white fungus soup, and placed it on the table for Ning Yujin: "The rose cake is crispy and sweet, drink some soup to relieve the taste."
"Yeah." Ning Yujin brought the bowl and took a few sips, but it didn't taste good no matter how much she drank.
She raised her head and looked at Xiangyue, and said unbearably: "Girl, if you want to drink, go get a bowl for yourself. How can I drink it when you look straight at me like this?"
Xiangyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Ning Yujin's arm, as if she had made up her mind and said: "Miss, give us another pack of the medicine you asked us to spread last time, I will let them get rash again!
"
Ning Yujin quickly stabilized herself and spilled the entire bowl of wolfberry and white fungus soup without shaking her hands.
She quickly put the bowl down and turned to Xiangyue's face, only to see that her eye circles were red and swollen, as if she had cried hard behind her back.
She was startled and quickly pulled Xiangyue to sit next to her: "Okay, why are you crying?"
Xiangyue hugged Ning Yujin and finally couldn't help sobbing in a low voice: "Miss, let me teach them a lesson. Whenever I think about what happened last night, I can't help but feel scared. If you really
If your reputation is ruined by their design, what will you do in the future?"
Ning Yujin quickly patted Xiangyue's back and coaxed softly: "Okay, okay, stop crying, I'm fine."
But Xiangyue cried more and more fiercely: "Miss, you don't fight for anything, you don't rob anything, but they treat you like this. These things, if there are two, there must be three. Xiangqiao steals things, miss, you steal, I really can't
I dare to imagine what other sinister ways they will come up with to torment you!"
