Almost everyone in the Imperial College knew that Shangguan Lan was looking for people to copy books for his sister's newly opened shop.

As the elder brother of his younger sister, Shangguan Song was unwilling to lag behind. On this day, he received more than ten books from his good friend, and to express his gratitude, he brought him to Shuiyunjian at noon.

My friend shook her head helplessly. This guy really didn't care about his dignity at all in order to attract business for his beloved sister. Who would go to eat snacks at noon instead of treating others to a meal?

Aren't those things just snacks after meals? How can they fill your stomach? Besides, he is a grown man and doesn't like those women's food at all!

But due to their long-term friendship, he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to follow.

When my friend saw the door curtain made of pearls, he couldn't help but frown. The decoration at the door looked like a place only women would come to.

However, when he stepped into the door and heard the sound of gurgling water echoing in the air, a feeling of calm and relaxation immediately came over him. His originally restless heart soon became calm and peaceful.

The air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and grass, and the whole person feels as if he is in the mountains.

Before he could fully enjoy this feeling, he was brought back to reality by a sharp voice:

"What a joke! I'm a guest, why are you kicking me out?!"

“Because this store is mine!

"Girl, if you continue to act unreasonably, we will have to kick you out as a troublemaker. Don't cry if you lose face."

“Puff~”…

There were bursts of suppressed laughter all around, and the guests were having a very painful time holding back their laughter.

Many people have recognized Wu Yuean's identity. They did not expect that this usually cold and aloof Miss Wu would be so arrogant and unreasonable.

The little maidservant quietly pulled her mistress's sleeve with a sad face, praying silently in her heart that the mistress still had a bit of rationality.

It was so embarrassing in front of so many people, and I was not in the right. The lady's reputation would definitely be damaged!

Wu Yuean, who had long lost his mind, angrily shook off the maid's hand, sat back in his seat, and casually threw the glass vase on the table far away.

With a cry of surprise, a slender hand caught the vase steadily. Even though the water in the vase soaked his sleeves, he did not feel embarrassed. He picked up the peony that was thrown from the ground and inserted it into the vase, then put the vase back on the table.

The mask was frost-covered, and he said in a cold and hard tone:

"Miss Wu, I wonder how my sister has offended you, causing you to make such a scene in public without caring about your dignity?"

"you!……"

The first time she saw Shangguan Song, Wu Yuean froze. This was the man she had been dreaming of marrying for many years! But now he was looking at her with eyes as cold as ice. How could she feel? !

I felt so aggrieved and unwilling in my heart, but I didn't know where to start.

Shangguan Song doesn't care at all about what harm his words may cause to others. Anyone who makes his younger sister feel wronged is unforgivable!

He continued indifferently:

"If Miss Wu cannot give a reasonable reason, then I can only understand that you are blaming my younger sister for the breakup of our engagement.

I have to remind Miss Wu that it was your Wu family who took the initiative to cancel the engagement, so it is totally unreasonable to cause trouble now."

The two of them knew why they broke off the engagement, but the spectators around them did not. Shangguan Song was threatening the other party. If Wu Yuean still didn't know what was going on, don't blame him for going too far.

He didn't mind making the truth known to the public. As for whether the other party's reputation would be damaged, it had nothing to do with him.

Hearing this, Wu Yuean's face turned pale. She had originally held a glimmer of hope, thinking that the cancellation of the engagement was not Shangguan Song's original intention, but was forced by his parents.

Today, even the last glimmer of fantasy has been shattered.

The good friend who came with him touched his nose embarrassedly, saying that Brother Shangguan really didn't know how to be gentle with women.

But such a cold-hearted person dotes on his younger sister. It has to be said that there is always someone better!

A string of slightly weird laughter came out of Wu Yuean's mouth. She staggered to her feet and accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell forward.

The little maid standing behind her screamed and reached out to grab something, but it was empty.

Shangguan Song, who was standing opposite her and was most convenient to support her, immediately stepped aside, remaining cold-hearted to the end. Her friends were in a dilemma, wanting to help but afraid of being blamed.

In the end, it was the female shopkeeper who took it all. In line with her due diligence, if a customer fell in the store, they would have to pay for the medical expenses!

She held the man tightly in her arms, steadying him, and then respectfully stepped back two steps.

"Miss Wu, please be careful when you walk. Our store is paved with bluestone bricks. Don't fall."

Falling was an accident, but there was still a chance to hold on to the table. But at that moment, Wu Yuean suddenly wanted to try one last time.

Test whether Shangguan Song still has any feelings for him.

As she watched the other party avoid her, the last spark of hope in her heart was extinguished.

th.

The little maid helped her mistress out of the shop with a blank look on her face, her face full of tears. She felt sorry for her mistress, why did she fall in love with such a hard-hearted man!

Wu Yuean's distraught return home naturally attracted Mrs. Wu's attention. She hurried to her daughter's yard and saw her sitting on the embroidered couch in her boudoir in a daze, with an unfocused look in her eyes.

Before I could ask, I heard her say word by word:

"Mother, I want to marry the fifth prince."

A few days ago, Imperial Concubine Jing had revealed her intention to marry her daughter, but she had to give up because she refused to do so. But today, she suddenly changed her mind because of some provocation.

Mrs. Wu was panicking and asked anxiously:

"An'er, where did you go today? Why did I feel like something was wrong with you?"

Wu Yue looked at her mother calmly and repeated:

"Mother, I have thought it through. Marrying the Fifth Prince is a blessing that others cannot even envy. I really shouldn't have refused before.

Don't you like this marriage very much? Now that your daughter has agreed, isn't it a happy occasion for everyone?"

Seeing her daughter acting out of character, Mrs. Wu asked the maid beside her:

"What on earth happened today? You might as well tell the truth!"

The little maid shrank her neck, and before she could speak, she was interrupted by Wu Yuean:

"There's nothing to say! If mother doesn't agree, then forget it. I will stay at home as an old maid for the rest of my life and never get married!"

How could she let the maid repeat the humiliation she suffered today in front of her? It would be like rubbing salt into the wound.

At this moment she only had one obsession left, if she couldn't get it, she would destroy it!

If she became the Fifth Prince's consort, her father would definitely do his utmost to help him. If she also received support from the Imperial Concubine...

When she becomes the most noble woman in the world, the Shangguan family will be like an ant, allowing her to do whatever she wants! No matter what kind of love, it is not as reliable as the supreme power!
