Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 277: Prince 7 visits Meng Jingxian and expresses his feelings

Madam Meng has been socializing for many years. People dare not discuss the affairs of the royal family openly, but who doesn't eat melons in secret? She even knows much more than Meng Jingxian. These princes are said to be handsome, but that is only for outsiders. When they come to their own territory, they can really be said to be inhuman.

"My son!" Meng Jingxian is the only child in the Meng family. Now the child may go into the fire pit. How can Mrs. Meng remain calm?

Meng Jingxian was the calmest. "The reason why Concubine Shu came to our family was for Master Seventeen's future. Even if she wants to get rid of her, it will take a few years, right? As long as my daughter seizes the opportunity to give birth to a son, her future will be guaranteed. It won't be difficult to live behind closed doors. Besides, Father and Mother, can you still watch your daughter suffer?"

But which parents would raise a daughter and expect her to be a widow? Seeing Meng Jingxian's determined eyes, he couldn't bear to say anything. It was better to live with determination than to give up on himself.

Meng Dase did not give up and sent a note to the palace, tactfully expressing that since the Seventeenth Master did not like her, the verbal marriage should be cancelled.

Shu Fei was also angry but could not vent her anger. Her son was not doing well, so it was no wonder that the Duke of Pei did not give him face. She could only call the Seventeenth Prince, "Are you really not interested in the princess of the Duke of Pei?"

The Seventeenth Prince thought of the beautiful figure who left angrily that day, and still hesitated a little, "My son angered the princess that day, and she may not be happy about it."

This is a promising statement. Shu Fei's eyes lit up. "Since you did something wrong, why don't you apologize to her and wait to marry her back?"

The Seventeenth Prince stroked the jade pendant on his waist and followed his heart. "My son will go to the Duke of Pei's mansion to apologize some other day."

Shu Fei urged, "It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. The other party has already intended to cancel the engagement, why are you still so slow?"

The Seventeenth Prince became a little more anxious after hearing the news, "Then let's do it tomorrow! It's not rude to send the invitation today." We have to give the Duke of Pei some time to prepare.

The next day, Meng Da stood at the door with a forced smile to welcome the Seventeenth Prince.

But when the Seventeenth Prince got off the carriage and smiled, the Duke of Pei couldn't help but admire him and his anger subsided a little.

The Seventeenth Prince humbly said to Meng Dase, "I came in a hurry today, I hope you can forgive me." After that, A Jin behind him handed over the prepared gift.

Meng Dase admired him even more, but when he thought that he was the one who made his daughter cry, he put on an unfriendly look and said coldly, "Seventeenth Master is the king, and I am the minister. How can I be worthy of the word 'Han Peng'?"

The Seventeenth Prince sighed inwardly, thinking that he had lost his sense of proportion that day. Now a good thing had turned into a bad thing. He didn't know if he could get what he wanted today.

No matter how cold Meng Dasese was, he always remembered the identity of the person in front of him and said politely and respectfully, "Seventeenth Master, please."

After entering the Duke of Pei's mansion, the Seventeenth Prince kept talking to Meng Dase all the way. However, whether he praised the exquisite design of the mansion or the beautiful scenery, Meng Dase only responded indifferently and had no intention of getting close to the Seventeenth Prince. The Seventeenth Prince smiled bitterly in his heart, what does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot?

After talking to Meng Dase about all sorts of things but still not getting to the point, Prince Seventeen was a little anxious and said sincerely, "There was a slight misunderstanding between me and the young lady in the mansion that day. Could you ask the young lady to have another talk with me?"

Misunderstanding? Humph, what kind of misunderstanding could there be? Isn't it just that you royal children are bullying others? Meng Dase cursed in his heart, but he still said Tai Chi on the surface, "What did you say, Master Seventeen? My daughter's words were inappropriate. I am lucky that Master Seventeen did not pursue it. Why do you have to let my daughter come out to make a fool of herself?"

The Seventeenth Prince was helpless when he saw Meng Dase was talking about something else, but he still pleaded again and again, "If you can make it clear to the young lady today, no matter what the result is, you will never implicate the Duke's Mansion."

This means that if Meng Jingxian insists on breaking off the engagement, the Seventeenth Prince will also agree.

If it was anything else, Meng Dasai could say that she didn't care, but if she could really let her daughter marry freely, it wasn't impossible for her to meet him once. Manchu princesses didn't have as many rules as Han families, so what if they met once in public?

However, Meng Dase still wanted to control the Seventeenth Prince, so he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Meng Jingxian for her opinion.

Meng Jingxian didn't expect that the Seventeenth Prince would come to her house, let alone that he would specifically ask to see her. After hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed.

The Seventeenth Prince and Meng Jingxian stood in the pavilion.

Meng Jingxian spoke first, "I wonder what advice Master Seventeen has for you?"

The Seventeenth Prince saw Meng Jingxian's calm appearance, which was far less lively than when she left that day, and no longer as happy as when they first met. He said apologetically, "I hurt the girl's heart that day."

Meng Jingxian couldn't help laughing and said frankly, "Seventeenth Prince is handsome, and it's normal for me to be attracted to him. But Seventeenth Prince, you should know that I'm not the kind of person who is satisfied with love." Why does this Seventeenth Prince look like a girl in the boudoir who is looking forward to love?

The Seventeenth Prince was at a loss, "If the lady doesn't care about friendship and only considers other conditions, I am no worse than others." The Seventeenth Prince promoted himself.

Meng Jingxian couldn't help laughing. She said softly, "Seventeenth Master, you don't know, ever since it was confirmed that my family only has one daughter, all kinds of relatives have come to the Duke of Pei's Mansion to ask for money, and some even boasted about themselves and wanted my father to give them the Duke's Mansion."

The Seventeenth Prince could imagine how difficult the situation of the Duke's Mansion was at that time, and a look of pity appeared on his face.

Meng Jingxian continued, "Ama didn't want me to worry, so he never told me. But someone with ulterior motives told me that if Ama recognized this relative, I wouldn't be left without a family after I got married, and I wouldn't have no one to back me up if I complained about my grievances in my husband's family."

The Seventeenth Prince lost his smile and said, "He who said this deserves death."

Meng Jingxian coughed twice. "I was young and ignorant, and I was frightened by a few words and had a high fever. If my father hadn't gone to the palace to ask for the imperial physician, I would not be the Meng Jingxian I am today. But I was sick, so my father got angry and drove those people away."

The Seventeenth Prince moved his body to shield Meng Jingxian from the wind, "Ms. Meng has a firm mind, and she will surely have good fortune in the future if she survives a disaster."

Meng Jingxian smiled bitterly and said, "But I still have a knot in my heart. If I could be reborn as a man, the Duke's Mansion would not be left without a place to stay. So, when I heard that Concubine Shu was interested, I felt a little more happy. With the royal family around, those evil spirits will always have to be a little cautious."

How could the Seventeenth Prince not be moved after hearing Meng Jingxian open up her heart? He made up his mind, "If the young lady is willing, even though I am not talented, I can still protect the Duke's Mansion from wind and rain."
