When it came to the Xiao family's affairs, Qin Guanqing was stunned and didn't know what to say.

He had heard about the affair between Xiao Jianting and Li Yaoyuan, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jianting was so deeply in love with her that he would be unable to recover and be depressed for so long.

At his age and with his talent, he can make great achievements in the future and marry any girl he wants. Why should he ruin his future by breaking a flower?

At least Qin Guanqing felt it was not worth it and did not understand.

To him, lovers are just fleeting affairs.

There are rumors in Shengjing that he is a passionate and romantic prince, and it is absolutely true.

Qin Guanqing didn't respond, so Xiao Yunzheng lost interest in talking to him. She smiled stiffly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Second Prince."

This ended the conversation.

The two walked in opposite directions tacitly.

Qin Fengtian was forced to send Nian Qiaoyue back home. He deliberately kept an arm's length away from her and had a stern face throughout, with his unhappiness written all over his face.

Nian Qiaoyue was covered in mud and she even despised herself, let alone getting close to him, so the two of them kept a distance between them.

Qin Fengtian just wanted to get to the Prime Minister's residence as soon as possible, complete the task and get away, so he quickened his pace unconsciously.

Nian Qiaoyue trotted to catch up, and she begged him humbly: "Prince, can you slow down..."

Qin Qinfeng stopped to wait for her, his attitude extremely impatient, "Hurry up, I still have my own things to do, I am already giving you face by sending you back home."

She felt very aggrieved, but she dared not say a word in rebuttal.

Nian Qiaoyue strongly requested Qin Fengtian to send her there for a purpose.

Although Qin Zehai promised her that he would make her the third imperial consort in the future, she felt that Qin Zehai was not trustworthy. She agreed to form an alliance with him only to please him because he was close to Qin Fengtian. In this way, she would also be considered a member of Prince Qing's party, and it would be easier for her to get close to Prince Qing.

It's useless to just wait, you should fight for what you want.

As long as she can get close to Qin Fengtian, she will have a better chance of success.

Nian Qiaoyue ran up to him and stood shoulder to shoulder, deliberately taking a few steps closer, but Qin Fengtian retreated vigilantly.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Nian Qiaoyue looked at him with sincerity and said in an earnest tone, "My Lord, will you marry me?"

Qin Fengtian exclaimed "Ah", very surprised.

While wondering why she made such a bold move, I was also thinking about how to reject her without damaging my image.

He didn't think for too long before shaking his head and saying, "No, I can't marry you."

Rather than saying I can’t, it’s better to say I don’t want to.

Nian Qiaoyue was anxious. She had taken such initiative, but he refused?

"Why? I am the second daughter of the Nian family. The prince married me, and we are now relatives of the Nian family. Even if daddy will not help the prince because of me, he will still be a little cautious. Doesn't the prince understand this?"

Qin Fengtian was unmoved. Instead, he took a few steps back and looked at her in disbelief, as if he was looking at a stranger.

The calculating and snobbish Nian Qiaoyue in front of him was completely different from the innocent and simple Nian Qiaoyue he knew before.

No, she had changed a long time ago. She had changed since that time when she tried to destroy Nian Susu's innocence in Xiao's house. She had become a vicious woman!

Nian Qiaoyue forced a smile and tried to hold his hand, but he moved away in disgust, so she withdrew her hand awkwardly.

She already had the answer in her heart, but she still didn't want to give up.

Qin Fengtian frowned and said with embarrassment, "Miss Nian Er, you should know that the Queen Mother will definitely not agree to let me marry you."

Nian Qiaoyue was speechless.

The Queen was indeed the biggest problem. She was not favored by her father, had no status in the family, and was born out of wedlock. The Queen looked down on her background, and compared with other girls, she was not even ranked.

Seeing that she was speechless after being rebuked by him, Qin Fengtian knew that it was right to use his mother as a shield.

He added fuel to the fire, "If you want to rely on marrying a wife to gain power, why don't I marry a legitimate daughter? There are so many ministers in the court, and there are also many girls in the capital, why should I marry you?"

The last sentence really hurt Nian Qiaoyue. It was said so hurtfully, implying that she was completely worthless.

"Your Highness, I can be your concubine." Nian Qiaoyue's voice trembled. This was already her biggest concession. "If you want to marry Nian Susu or another woman in the future, I will definitely not stop you, and I will not be jealous. Even so, are you still unwilling?"

Qin Fengtian was getting impatient with her pestering him. He took a few deep breaths and said angrily, "No, even if you are willing to marry me as a concubine, I don't want to marry you. Do you understand?"

He also didn't understand why Nian Qiaoyue was so determined to marry him. In terms of appearance and talent, he was the most mediocre among the princes. Looking throughout Shengjing, there were many who were better than him. Nian Qiaoyue would not choose him unless she was blind.

Thinking of this, Qin Fengtian felt that Nian Qiaoyue was coveting his noble status as the third prince and wanted to marry into the royal family so that she could become a phoenix overnight. She was full of calculations and deserved to be killed.

You should never marry someone like this.

Nianqiaoyue was discouraged and looked resentful.

"Is it really because the Queen doesn't agree that the prince doesn't want to marry me? Or is it that... the prince himself just doesn't have this intention?" She pressed him in an interrogative tone.

Qin Fengtian felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

"What about the good memories we once had?"

"Didn't the prince say that he would treat me well for the rest of his life?"

"Love can overcome all difficulties. Sincerity is the most important thing. Family background and social status are not a problem."

"Your Highness said these words to me personally. Has Your Highness forgotten them?"

Nian Qiaoyue was heartbroken and couldn't help but shed tears.

Qin Fengtian's mind flashed with the memories of their time together. Instead of feeling sweet, he felt disgusted.

He felt disgusted with himself at that time, and also with Nian Qiaoyue.

Nian Qiaoyue was determined to get an answer from him today and was pressing him step by step.

She advances, he retreats.

"Is the prince in love with Nian Susu? Is that why he wants to abandon me?" She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

There was something wrong with the way Qin Fengtian looked at Nian Susu. She could feel it, because that kind of loving and gentle gaze had been cast on her for a period of time.

Qin Fengtian clenched his fists and glanced at her. He was immediately stung by Nian Qiaoyue's burning eyes. He became angry and said, "Yes! I did say that! But that's all in the past! If you want to use the empty oaths in the past to threaten me, then I can only say that you are too naive."

"You are not as good as Nian Susu in any way. Standing next to her, you look like a maid, only worthy of being ordered around! You are not even as good as Wang Yuejiao! You still want to marry me? It's a foolish dream!"

Nian Qiaoyue widened her eyes, feeling angry and ashamed.

Being relegated to the dust by the one you love is not much better than being called a cheap bastard.

No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay there any longer. She covered her face and ran away crying.
