Chu Yuanqi didn't know what he was thinking. He took his servant out early in the morning and wandered aimlessly in the capital all morning, becoming more and more restless.
He was thinking about whether to go back to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to check the situation, but he met Cui Minjun halfway.
As a result, I was confused.
He finally arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion.
And...it was brought here by King Yi himself.
Do you really want to break off the engagement?
Chu Yuanqi felt very confused and felt empty.
His mood was extremely complicated.
Xiao Lingyue didn't think much about it at all. She looked at Zhan Beihan in confusion: "You brought Chu Yuanqi here specifically to break off the engagement?"
Zhan Beihan sneered: "That's not the case!"
He had said before that Chu Yuanqi would come to the house to break off the engagement in two days.
Did she think he said it casually?
Xiao Lingyue said suspiciously: "Then just tell me no? Why do you look so mysterious?"
It was as if she was unwilling to break off the engagement, so he would cut her off first and then show off.
As for that?
Xiao Lingyue curled her lips, turned to look at Chu Yuanqi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I promised you that I would return your jade bracelet to you as soon as I came back from Xiangguo Temple, but I didn't expect so much to happen later.
The matter, if I wasn’t careful, it would have been postponed until today..."
Xiao Lingyue also felt ashamed.
She actually didn't take this engagement seriously, nor did she take it too seriously.
Therefore, if Zhan Beihan hadn't specially brought him to the palace, she would have almost forgotten to go to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion to break off the engagement.
fair enough.
Chu Yuanqi had long wanted to take back his family's ancestral jade bracelet.
Xiao Lingyue felt quite embarrassed because of the delay until today because of her. Since everyone else was here, she simply returned the jade bracelet to him and pretended that the marriage had never happened.
There is no need to mention it again in the future.
Chu Yuanqi looked at her with a complicated face: "It doesn't matter, I..."
I am not in a hurry to get the jade bracelet back.
Xiao Lingyue didn't listen to what he said and said directly: "I already got that jade bracelet from your home when I left the Shen family. Just wait a moment. I'll have someone get it now. You can take it back with you."
Talk to your parents."
At Xiangguo Temple before, she heard Chu Yuanqi say that the jade bracelet was passed down from the ancestors of the Zhenbei Hou family and was only passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law from generation to generation.
Therefore, Chu Yuanqi must take it back, otherwise he will not be able to explain it to his parents.
Xiao Lingyue walked out of the main hall, found a guard, and asked him to talk to Uncle Zhou.
The things she had brought out from the Shen family were originally placed in the County Lord's Mansion. Later, when the County Lord's Mansion started to be repaired, Uncle Zhou temporarily moved it to Prince Yi's Mansion. The jade bracelet is now also in the warehouse of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Uncle Zhou needs to get the key to take it out.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou rushed over quickly and handed her a brocade box with his own hands: "Miss Shen, this is what you want."
Xiao Lingyue took it in surprise: "Why so fast?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked the old slave to take it out of the warehouse early this morning. He said that it is what Miss Shen needs to break off the engagement today, so it must be prepared in advance."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
"Miss Shen, have you finally decided to break off your engagement with the Zhenbei Houfu? This is a great event!"
Uncle Zhou cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said: "I am here to congratulate the girl."
