Xiao Lingyue couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "What kind of happy event is breaking off the engagement? Uncle Zhou, are you laughing at me?"
"Don't dare! Why would this old slave laugh at a girl?" Zhou Bo said cheerfully, "If another girl wants to break off the engagement, it will naturally not be a happy event, but Miss Shen, you are different, after all..."
After all, their prince is waiting behind!
After canceling the marriage to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, isn't there still one from their Prince Yi Mansion?
Of course this is a great event!
Uncle Zhou was thinking happily, he almost spilled the words and quickly stopped talking.
"What exactly?" Xiao Lingyue looked at him doubtfully.
"Nothing!" Uncle Zhou quickly shook his head, unable to stop smiling, "The young marquis of the Chu family is still in the hall! Miss Shen, don't delay, call off the marriage first."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Her mood became a little subtle for a while.
Why does she feel that Uncle Zhou is more anxious to break off the engagement than she is, so impatient?
Although she didn't care about the marriage and wanted to break off the engagement, it felt strange that Uncle Zhou, an outsider, was so anxious.
Those who don’t know think that Uncle Zhou is hoping for her to have bad luck...
With this delicate mood, Xiao Lingyue returned to the main hall.
Seeing the red brocade box in her hand, Chu Yuanqi was startled, his eyes became extremely complicated, and his face was full of hesitation to speak.
"This is your jade bracelet. I got it back from the Shen family. You can open it and take a look." Xiao Lingyue handed him the brocade box directly, "You must have seen your stuff, right?"
Chu Yuanqi nodded: "My mother described it to me."
"That's good." Xiao Lingyue felt relieved and handed it over again, "Why don't you accept it?"
Zhan Beihan sat on the main seat and looked at him with cold eyes.
Chu Yuanqi had no choice but to take it.
Opening the brocade box, inside is a lustrous and lustrous mutton-fat white jade bracelet, wrapped in bright red silk. It has a graceful shape and a restrained and gentle beauty.
Xiao Lingyue smiled and said: "This bracelet looked like this when it was taken out from the Shen family. I have never touched it, so don't worry."
"I'm not worried about this." Chu Yuanqi said complicatedly.
He recognized at a glance that this was indeed his family's ancestral jade bracelet, which was passed down from daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law. This was the only one in the entire Chu family.
It used to be worn on his mother's wrist.
After getting engaged to the Shen family, Mrs. Zhenbeihou took off the bracelet and gave it to "Shen Wan"'s biological mother as a token.
Chu Yuanqi looked at the jade bracelet in the brocade box, his eyes suddenly uncontrollably looking at Xiao Lingyue's slender wrist.
He thought in a daze:
If there hadn't been so many mistakes in the middle.
This bracelet was originally supposed to be worn on her wrist...
Instead of being handed back to him by her own hands.
Returning the engagement token means that the marriage is over, and he and she will have nothing to do with each other in the future.
"Chu Yuanqi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lingyue looked at the look on his face in surprise, "Is there something wrong with this bracelet?"
"No." Chu Yuanqi twitched his lips and tried to smile, but found it too difficult.
He stretched out his hand and wiped his face, forcing himself to calm down: "There's nothing wrong with the bracelet, I..."
The words are only half spoken.
Chu Yuanqi was inexplicably silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I accept it."
Xiao Lingyue felt a little strange when she looked at him, but she never thought too much about this kind of thing. She just smiled and said: "I'll return the token to you. Let's just think that the marriage between the two families was an accident." Don’t mention it to anyone in the future. I hope that when you meet the girl you like in the future, you can personally give her this jade bracelet!"
