"No." Kong Wenru lowered his eyebrows and shook his head slowly: "He didn't say anything."
Li Can was even more puzzled: "What's the reason?"
"Miss Qi, it's not because of him, it's because my mind has changed." Kong Wenru still lowered his head: "Do you think that Mr. Zhongguo is actually a perfect match for Lianzi?"
When Li Can heard what she said, he didn't know how to respond.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhenlian and Zhao Minghui always quarreled as soon as they met.
But despite their quarrels, if something really happened, they would still support each other.
In comparison, Kong Wenru has been silent and just standing by. Sometimes it's as if he doesn't exist. It's so pitiful.
In fact, Kong Wenru is really nice and fun, but Zhao Minghui doesn't know how to appreciate and cherish him.
If Kong Wenru could let go of Zhao Minghui, she still hoped that Kong Wenru would let him go.
In this way, Kong Wenru will not always be so depressed.
"Miss Qi thinks so too." Seeing that she didn't speak, Kong Wenru smiled bitterly.
Li Can finally felt embarrassed and paused before saying, "Is it because of the lotus seeds?"
"No, it's not because of her." Kong Wenru raised his head and hurriedly explained to her: "Miss Qi, don't get me wrong, it really has nothing to do with Lianzi."
Li Can could feel her sincerity and nodded.
"It's because of myself." Kong Wenru raised her hand to cover her heart: "My temperament is too boring, and I am really not a good match for Duke Zhongguo.
This marriage should have been broken up a long time ago, but it has been delayed because of me.
In fact, I know very well in my heart that if I persist, he will marry me.
But he is very unhappy, and I don’t want to see him like that.”
She lowered her head again as she spoke, tears dripping down the back of her hands.
Li Can took the veil and wiped away her tears sadly: "But the engagement is broken off, what will you do?"
"I'm fine." Kong Wenru shook his head, raised his eyes and smiled at her: "I figured it out.
If he can be happy, that's what I want, so why should I force him?"
"Then you..." Li Canyi hesitated for a moment and took her hand: "Wen Ru, you can't let your mind wander..."
She was not very good at persuading people, and she felt that it was wrong to persuade Kong Wenru like this.
But she was really worried.
Kong Wenru didn't like to express himself when things happened, unlike her, who would just cry and make a fuss when something happened, and then it would be over.
She was afraid that Kong Wenru would not be able to overcome that hurdle.
Kong Wenru laughed with tears in her eyes: "Where did Miss Qi go? I won't be able to think about it.
Miss Qi, do you think I did the right thing?"
"If you really figured it out." Li Can thought about it and said, "Then I think you did the right thing.
You are so good, you can definitely find someone who has the same mind as you, and you don't have to spend your whole life on Zhao Minghui."
But it’s not Zhao Minghui’s fault.
How to say?
Kong Wenru is very good, but Zhao Minghui doesn't like Kong Wenru, and maybe he will never like her in his life.
It's like...it seems that Qin Yuheng is very good, but she doesn't like Qin Yuheng.
And Zhao Zhen is so bad, she has made up her mind so many times, but she has never been able to completely let go of him.
People's feelings are so strange sometimes. If you are not kind, you will be liked by your sweetheart.
"Yes." Kong Wenru nodded and looked at her, with tears in his smile: "I know that Miss Qi is a smart and transparent person. There is nothing wrong in telling you this."
Li Can saw that there was light in her eyes and she didn't look discouraged, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not as smart as you said, but you can ask me anything you want. As long as I know, I can tell you.
.”
"There's nothing else." Kong Wenru wiped her tears: "Miss Qi, please don't find me annoying."
"Wenru, what are you talking about?" Li Can frowned: "We have known each other for so long, and you still don't regard me as a friend?"
"How come, I didn't." Kong Wenru explained quickly: "I have always regarded you as a friend, otherwise I would not have said this to you."
"Then why are you still so polite to me?" Li Can laughed: "Also, don't always call me 'Miss Qi, Miss Qi' from now on. Just call me 'Cancan' with them."
Kong Wenru was a little hesitant: "But, you are the future crown princess, how can I..."
"Can't the future princess have friends?" Li Can pouted and looked at her dissatisfied.
Kong Wenru looked at her, opened her mouth, paused again, and then called out: "Cancan."
"That's right." Li Can held her shoulders and wiped her tears: "Don't be sad anymore.
If you really break off the engagement, don’t worry if you don’t find someone suitable for the time being.
When I enter the East Palace in the future, if you have a crush on whose son you like, ask someone to tell me and I will help you be a matchmaker."
When Kong Wenru heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed: "Why do you say this to me like a female bandit?"
Li Can felt more relieved when he saw her smiling.
The two talked for a while and then arrived at Kong's house.
After Kong Wenru said goodbye to Li Can, he got off the carriage.
Li Can looked at her back and felt happy for her. Kong Wenru finally woke up. This was good.
After returning to Jing'an Marquis Mansion, when passing by the front hall, I met my eldest aunt Lin.
"Auntie." Li Can greeted.
"Xin'er is back?" Mrs. Lin couldn't help but smile when she saw her: "You're back just in time. I was about to send these cherries to your yard, so you can take them back yourself."
"Where did it come from?" Li Can looked at the black lacquer tray held in Dan Qing's hand behind her.
There is an exquisite pastel glazed fruit plate on the tray. The small and exquisite vermilion cherries in the fruit plate are very attractive.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "Such a rare good thing can't be bought in the market at this time of year, so where else can it come from?"
"East Palace?" Li Can asked uncertainly.
How come there are so few things from the East Palace?
At this time of year in previous years, a plate like this could hold three or four cherries from the East Palace.
"Yes." Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's feelings for you. Just accept it."
"No need." Li Can motioned to the candy: "Grab a handful and take them back.
Auntie will help me share the rest and let everyone in the house taste it, so He and the others don't have to give it away."
"That's all you have? Take some more." Seeing that Mrs. Lin only grabbed a handful of candies, she hurriedly arranged for more.
"No, auntie." Li Can refused: "It's not too sweet, I don't like it very much, just eat a few to give it a try."
"That's good." Ms. Lin had no choice but to comply with her.
"Auntie, I'm going back to the courtyard first." Li Can greeted and went to Luming Courtyard.
She never cared about cherries.
Maybe something happened and Zhao Zong rewarded someone. This is also true.
The next day, Liu Zhenlian rode her horse to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion at noon.
Li Can was holding a bowl and slowly having breakfast when she burst into the house in a hurry.
"Miss Liu... Miss Liu, wait for me to report first..." The gatekeeper, Tangdou, followed her all the way, but was unable to stop Liu Zhenlian.
"Lotus seeds?" Li Can was surprised: "What made you so anxious?"
She said and ordered Tangdou to go down.
Liu Zhenlian is so anxious. Could it be that Kong Wenru mentioned breaking off the engagement?
"My sister-in-law!" Liu Zhenlian took the porridge bowl from her hand and put it on the table. She took her hand and said, "You still want to eat porridge, get up and follow me."
"Where are you going?" Li Can held the spoon and wondered: "What happened?"
Why does it feel like it's not about Kong Wenru, but about her?
But what could happen to her?
"Go and settle the score with those bitches Xia Jieyao and Song Guangyao!" Liu Zhenlian was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table.
Li Can looked at her blankly: "Them? Why did they offend you?"
Of course, it's impossible for Liu Zhenlian to lose such a temper.
What happened again?
"Oh, you don't know anything yet?" Liu Zhenlian almost laughed angrily: "Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, both gave Xia Jieyao and Song Guangyao rare gifts yesterday.
Now, it has almost spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital, but you are the only one who is still in the dark?"
"What rare and good thing?" Li Can blinked his dark eyes, and suddenly felt blessed: "You mean, cherries?"
Liu Zhenlian groaned angrily: "So, aren't you really stupid?"
Li Can stopped talking. She finally understood why there were so few cherries this year. They were divided.
She didn't show too much expression. She picked up the porridge bowl and took another bite with the spoon.
