Chapter 48 Wang Ruoxi's Retirement

Chapter 48 Wang Ruoxi breaks off the engagement

After Wang Ruoxi finished speaking, she went straight back to her room.

Mrs. Wang felt agitated in her heart: What a silly girl! Every thought comes out, how can a marriage be a trivial matter?

When the governor returned home, Mrs. Wang immediately came forward and complained: "Master, go and see your precious daughter! She suddenly shouted that she wanted to break off the engagement today. Go and ask what's going on!"

"Huh?" The governor frowned and walked to the door of his daughter's room and said, "Xi'er, are you in there?"

Wang Ruoxi asked angrily: "What are you doing? What's the matter?"

The governor said: "My dear daughter, come out quickly. Daddy has something to ask you."

After a while, Wang Ruoxi pouted and slowly opened the door. Without looking at her father, she walked straight to the chair in the living room and sat down.

The governor walked over, looked at his daughter lovingly, and asked, "Xi'er, I heard your mother say that you want to break off the engagement? What's wrong? Did that boy from the Su family offend you?"

Wang Ruoxi shook her head and said, "No."

The governor asked: "What's going on? Do you have another sweetheart?"

Wang Ruoxi blushed and looked at the ground without speaking.

The governor looked at his daughter's intentions and guessed that she probably had a sweetheart. So he asked: "Which family is he the son of? If it is suitable, daddy will help you handle the matter of breaking off the engagement."

"Oh, what kind of young master is this?" Wang Ruoxi wanted to continue, but she knew that if her father knew Li Heng's identity, he would definitely not agree.

"Who is that?" the governor asked.

"Oh, don't ask. Anyway, I don't like that Su Yi Ning, and I don't want to marry him!"

"This... today is already the 4th, and you and he will get married in ten days. If you say you don't want to get married at this time, how do you expect me to face Master Su in the future?"

"Oh, I don't care, I won't marry him anyway!" Wang Ruoxi twisted around on her stool, pouted, and ignored the governor.

Seeing that her father was speechless for a moment, Wang Ruoxi said: "I'm tired, I want to go back to my room to rest." After saying that, she went back to her room and slammed the door.

After Wang Ruoxi and the others left, Zhao Ling'er quickly made room and took out the paper and pen.

She still has a lot of things to prepare for.

Zhao Ling'er thought about painting, and unknowingly she was busy until the middle of the night. Although she was sleepy and tired, looking at what she had written, she felt confident about the auction and felt that the effect of the auction would definitely not be good.

Too bad.

Oh, today’s accounts haven’t been settled yet!

Yesterday’s cash balance: 17 taels, 940 Wen;

Today’s income: 13 Liang 250 Wen;

Today’s expenditure: 926 Wen;

Today’s cash balance: 30 taels, 264 Wen.

Zhao Ling'er hurriedly calculated her expenses for the day and suddenly felt much more at ease.

I went to bed directly without washing up.

Early the next morning, when A Yao got up, Zhao Ling'er also woke up.

She came to the carving workshop with what she had written last night.

"Shopkeeper, please make 20 copies of the contents on these pieces of paper. Can you make them this afternoon?"

The shopkeeper took it and counted it, there were 5 in total, and said: "No problem, you can come and get it at five in the afternoon, there are 500 in total."

Zhao Linger paid the money and went to find Chen Yuanyuan again.

Chen Yuanyuan hasn't gotten up yet.

After waiting for a long time, she slowly opened the door in disheveled clothes and lazily asked Zhao Ling'er what he wanted to do.

Zhao Ling'er asked: "Has the portrait that the painter gave you yesterday been finished?"

Chen Yuanyuan turned her head and glanced at the table and said, "It's right there. You can get it yourself."

Zhao Ling'er took a closer look and saw that Chen Yuanyuan, who was playing the pipa with her head lowered, was elegant and charming. Putting on her current clothes, she had an exotic look. If she lived in modern times, she would definitely be a big star!

Zhao Ling'er picked up the painting and said goodbye to Chen Yuanyuan, then went to a shop selling calligraphy and painting and asked: "Shopkeeper, can you copy this painting?"

The shopkeeper took the painting and unfolded it. He was shocked and asked, "Is this Chen Yuanyuan?"

Zhao Linger nodded.

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay."

"I want to copy 10 identical paintings, and it's best to have them all completed before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"This..." the shopkeeper frowned and said, "Girl, it will take at least a week to copy 10 paintings!"

Zhao Ling'er stretched out her hand and said, "Then give me back, and I'll find another one."

The shopkeeper hurriedly hid the painting behind his back and said: "Okay, okay, girl, I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'll stay up late tonight to paint it for you. But I'll have to pay ten taels of silver for the work!"

"No problem." Zhao Ling'er paid the money to the shopkeeper and said, "I'll come over to pick up the painting at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

The next thing is, who should I contact?

Look at the sky, it’s still early!

Zhou You probably didn't produce any finished product, so the matter was not urgent.

Zhao Ling'er yawned and went back to rest.

Su Mansion.

"Ning'er, look, your wedding dress has arrived. Come and try it out to see if it suits you!" Mother Su pushed open the door of Su Yi Ning's room, followed by the maid, who was holding a bright red wedding dress in her hand.

Seeing this, Su Yi Ning stood up with a sullen expression and said, "Oh, mother, let's put it there for now. I'll try again later."

Mother Su said: "Why try again later? Try it now! The wedding dress maker is waiting in the hall. If you see what doesn't fit, ask him to take it back and change it now."

Su Yi Ning glanced at the wedding clothes with disgust, turned around and said, "Oh, you can go out first. Just leave the wedding clothes here, there's no need to try them on."

Mother Su muttered: "This kid of yours is getting married soon. Why don't you care about it at all?"

Su Yi Ning pushed his mother out the door and said, "Mom, please go out quickly, I'm reading a book!"

Mother Su glanced at the book spread out on the table, sighed and said, "Oh, okay. Don't exhaust yourself, but also know how to rest and drink more water."

Su Yi Ning agreed: "Yes, okay, I understand." He hurriedly closed the door.

"Oh, what should I do?" Su Yi Ning rolled on the bed and covered her face with the quilt.

"No! I can't get married!" Suddenly he got up and got out of bed: "No, I want to find Wang Ruoxi!"

Su Yining came to the governor's backyard and ordered the guards to report inside.

Not long after, Wang Ruoxi's maid came over and said, "Mr. Su, my lady is not here, please come back."

What's going on? This Wang Ruoxi, does she not agree to break off the engagement again?

Su Yining got on the carriage gloomily and came to Qinglian Tea House. After passing the partition where Zhao Ling'er had been before, Su Yining stopped.

He pushed open the curtain and walked in, thinking: How great it would be if she were sitting in front of me now! What a pity!

Su Yi Ning turned to look out the window, well, isn't that Wang Ruoxi? What is she doing sneakily, disguised as a woman?

Su Yining saw Wang Ruoxi and ran out in a hurry.

"Master, where are you going?" Su Yining stood behind and patted Wang Ruoxi on the shoulder.

Wang Ruoxi turned around and saw Su Yining, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Where I go is none of your business!"

"Hey, you are my fiancée! Where you go is of course none of my business!"

"What fiancée? Don't talk nonsense! Don't you want to break off the engagement?"

"Oh, I don't have it, I don't have it." Su Yining waved her hands hurriedly and said, "Mr. Ruoxi, where are you planning to go?" Su Yining deliberately lengthened her voice.

"I..." Wang Ruoxi's cheeks turned red and she said, "I'm going to the steamed bun shop to find someone. Alas, do you know him? He has something to do with Zhao Ling'er."
