Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Seeing that his second brother was choking badly, Yun Xi hurried into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of water.

This water is not ordinary water drawn from the village, but well water in the space.

Yun Yan gulped down a bowl of water, and the dumpling stuck in his throat was finally washed down by the water, and he recovered without any discomfort.

"Thank you, little sister." Yun Yan thanked gratefully.

.......

Nanwang Mansion, Guangxin County, Cangwu County.

A handsome young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in tight clothes, was dancing with a spear with great vigor in the martial arts training ground.

Suddenly, a servant ran into the martial arts training ground. It was Hou Zhong, the steward of Prince Nan's Mansion.

The young man did not stop his movements, but the look he shot at Butler Hou was very sharp. He did not like being disturbed while practicing martial arts.

Hou Zhong also knew his temper and was worried that he would get angry, so he bowed respectfully and said,

"Your Majesty, there is news coming from Xiemu County."

The prince said that as long as there is news from Xiemu County, no matter what he is doing, he must report it in time.

So he didn't dare to delay and hurried back to report as soon as he got the news.

Sure enough, upon hearing the news from Xie Mu County, Ying Tianchen immediately put away his spear and asked hurriedly, "What's the news?"

Hou Zhong showed a trace of joy on his face, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Miss Yun has cancelled the engagement."

"Clang-"

The spear fell to the ground, and the light in Ying Tianchen's eyes was as bright as stars, "Really?"

The volume was an octave higher than his usual volume.

He immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and he coughed lightly, adjusted his volume, and asked casually,

"Really? When did you call it quits?"

Hou Zhong smiled secretly, thinking, Your Majesty, you don't have to pretend that you don't care. Even if I could see it, I wouldn't point it out.

He took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "Your Highness, this is the pigeon letter I just received, which said that the engagement was just called off yesterday.

Ying Tianchen took the note and was about to open it, but he saw that the old housekeeper had no intention of leaving. He stood there with a big smile on his face and reminded him,

"Housekeeper, isn't there much going on in the mansion today?"

Hou Zhong was stunned for a moment, then realized that his master was trying to get rid of him, and he bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first."

Ying Tianchen said calmly, "Well, go down."

After watching Butler Hou leave the martial arts training ground, he couldn't wait to open the note.

It was getting dark and the words on the note were very small, but Ying Tianchen had good eyesight and could still see the contents clearly.

Then, his thin lips curled up and his smile widened.

The secret guards hiding nearby were all nervous when they saw their master behaving so abnormally. It was as if the prince was a different person today.

It was the first time they saw the prince smile, and the key point was that he was grinning from ear to ear, with his mouth almost stretching to his ears.

Abnormal, very abnormal.

All the secret guards were alert and observed carefully, wondering if their prince had been replaced by someone else.

Ying Tianchen didn't know that his abnormal behavior had aroused the suspicion of his subordinates. He walked briskly back to his study and carefully put the note into a wooden box.

Those who didn’t know might think that this note was some kind of top-secret information, but in fact, there was only a line of small words on it: Miss Yun broke off the engagement yesterday!

After putting the wooden box away, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

He lay in the bathtub with his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth that couldn't be lowered betrayed his good mood at the moment.

He should have come to propose marriage two years ago. But when he inquired, he found out that she was already engaged. He had no choice but to give up.

Later he discovered that the two engaged people seemed to be childhood sweethearts, but their relationship did not seem to be very good and they each had their own thoughts.

One of them was flirting with other girls in the academy, while the other was secretly making money with his family without telling the other.

He knew that the two would definitely call off the engagement in the future, and thought that if she still hadn't called it off by the time she reached the age of marriage, he would help.

Unexpectedly, the marriage proposal was cancelled so suddenly. No, it was not so sudden. He had expected that the man would cancel the marriage proposal after he passed the imperial examination and would no longer need the Yun family.

really--

"Since the engagement has been cancelled, let's grant her the position of princess!" the young man thought to himself.

In fact, the decision to grant her the position of princess was made when they first met two years ago, so it is not abrupt to make this decision now.

Thinking of the first time they met, the boy's face turned red.

At that time, he was being chased and fell off a cliff with serious injuries. He was hit by an arrow within a finger's width of his heart and fell into a coma due to excessive bleeding.

I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that I would be rescued by her who also fell off the cliff.

At that time, in order to pull out the arrow for herself, she took off her shirt and touched her chest, which was considered as physical intimacy.

The most important thing is that I was seriously injured at that time and couldn’t even drink medicine or water. She fed me mouth to mouth.

This has already ruined her reputation, and I should be responsible for her.

Who knew that she had already been engaged, so she could only suppress the matter temporarily.

Now that he knew she had called off the engagement, Ying Tianchen was indescribably happy. Perhaps he should go to Xiemu County.
