After Xiao Chenggang said these ambiguous words, he turned and left.
Zhan Beihan was left standing there expressionless.
the other side.
Xiao Chenggang got it right.
The "private matter" that the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to discuss with Xiao Lingyue alone was indeed related to the engagement.
The engagement between the Chu family and the Shen family has been delayed for too long.
It has been delayed until now the Shen family is gone.
Originally at Xiangguo Temple, Xiao Lingyue promised Chu Yuanqi that she would break off the engagement after returning to Beijing.
Who would have expected that after returning to Beijing, one thing would happen one after another. Xiao Lingyue finally got the jade bracelet for the engagement from the Shen family, but then she was involved in the witchcraft case again.
The results have been delayed until now.
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion also complained about this, and even wondered if she had changed her mind again.
In the end, Zhenbei Hou was well-informed and knew that Xiao Lingyue was really unavailable recently, so he stepped forward to suppress the criticism in the mansion.
Xiao Lingyue has been either in Tianlao or Prince Yi's Mansion these days.
The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't have a chance to see her either, so he finally met her in the Qianqing Palace. This happened to the Shen family again.
Marquis Zhenbei felt that the marriage could no longer be postponed, so he took the initiative to find Xiao Lingyue and wanted to talk to her alone.
After Xiao Lingyue learned about Zhenbei Hou's thoughts, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Master Chu, I'm really sorry. I did promise the young master before that I would come to break off the engagement and return the Chu family's jade bracelet after returning to the capital. But I didn't expect that various things have delayed it, and it has been delayed until now."
Xiao Lingyue said apologetically: "Please forgive me, Lord Chu."
Her attitude is sincere and she really has a reason for everything.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had a good impression of her, at least much better than Shen Zhijiang and others. He waved his hand and said, "The county master can't be blamed for this."
He looked at Xiao Lingyue and said: "Now that the Shen family has come to an end, the shackles on the county master have also been lifted. Regarding the engagement, I would like to ask the county master a sincere message."
Xiao Lingyue said: "Excuse me."
"I heard that the county lord was married a long time ago, but her husband died young and she still has a child, right?"
"...Yes." Xiao Lingyue was slightly embarrassed.
"As a woman, it is not easy to raise a child alone."
The Marquis of Zhenbei suddenly asked: "Has the County Lord ever thought about marrying again?"
"..." Xiao Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Is the Marquis worried that I won't want to break off the engagement?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei had not yet had time to speak.
Xiao Lingyue said: "You don't have to worry about this. I am different from the Shen family. I promised the young Marquis before in Xiangguo Temple that I would definitely break off the engagement with him and return the Chu family's jade bracelet. Now all kinds of things have been resolved. It's almost done, or I..."
How many days will it take to cancel the engagement?
Before these words could be spoken, the Marquis of Zhenbei interrupted and said, dumbfounded: "The county master has misunderstood. This is not what I meant."
Xiao Lingyue was stunned.
"I just want to ask the county master if he has any thoughts of remarrying?" Zhenbei Hou asked gently.
Xiao Lingyue was silent for a moment.
Marry again...
Of course it's impossible.
When she was wearing the "Shen Wan" vest, she never thought about marrying someone or not.
It's even less possible now.
Xiao Lingyue asked in confusion: "What's the matter with you asking this?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei coughed slightly, waved his hands slightly awkwardly and said: "It's nothing... If the county master doesn't want to say it, just pretend that I haven't mentioned it yet!"
