I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Qin Mansion

After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Yi specially prepared gifts and went to the Qin Mansion to inform his mentor, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin is over 70 years old, but he is still in good health and spirits.

Hearing this good news, I was happy for Yang Yi.

He was upright and incorruptible throughout his life, and he also influenced his students with his character.

"You are so young that His Majesty values ​​you. This is your opportunity and good fortune. But as your teacher, I must tell you something. The officialdom is like a battlefield, a war without the smoke of gunpowder. People's hearts are like devils. You must be careful in what you say and do, and don't make mistakes that others can catch you. Don't curry favor with the powerful and become a servile villain who bows his head and bends his back. A real man should be open and honest in his life, and be worthy of the heaven and earth, the king, and the people, so that his life will not be in vain."

Yang Yi looked respectful and bowed solemnly, "Teacher, your sincere teachings will be taken as a guideline and kept in mind at all times."

Old Master Qin raised his hand and motioned him to stand up. Just now, he was a strict teacher. But now, he was a kind elder.

"You've never let me down..."

In the backyard of the Qin Mansion, in Qin Sangbai's room.

She sat in front of the large embroidery frame, fixed the cloth she bought today on the frame, and slowly smoothed out the wrinkles, not leaving out even the smallest details.

"Miss, Young Master Yang is here. He is talking to the old master in the front yard." The maid Gancao walked in holding the embroidery thread.

Qin Sangbai paused after hearing this, and then got busy again, "He is a stubborn person, and he is also a man who values ​​love and keeps his promises. It's a pity that I am not strong enough and have delayed him for so many years..."

Licorice put down what he was holding, looking sad.

The girl was naturally smart and insightful, and she was outstanding in everything. Unfortunately, she was born with asthma, so she could live a peaceful life in the mansion without those dirty and annoying things. But she didn't dare to imagine what it would be like when she entered the gate of the mansion.

The girl did nothing wrong. She also wanted to cancel the engagement and didn't want to drag her sick body to delay others, but Young Master Yang refused to agree.

She usually stayed at home and rarely went out because she didn't want to cause trouble to others. Today, it was for the old man's birthday, and she wanted to embroider a longevity picture by herself, so she went out to choose the fabric and embroidery thread. Unexpectedly, she brought about the unexpected disaster.

"girl……"

Qin Sangbai looked up and saw that she looked like she was about to cry. He smiled and said, "Why are you looking like this? Did you find out what I asked you to find out?"

Gan Cao held back her tears. "I found out that she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo. I heard that her engagement was just rejected by the Marquis of Xiangning's Mansion. Now, the emperor has granted her a marriage, and she is betrothed to Prince Ling..."

Qin Sangbai paused, "Prince Ling..."

Licorice nodded, "It is Prince Ling."

Qin Sangbai seldom goes out due to health reasons, but Gancao will go out every now and then to buy some things, and will also bring back some news she heard outside to entertain her.

She had also heard Mu Qingyan's name from Gan Cao.

She had also heard about Prince Ling's affairs. Those women had truly died tragically at home, and it couldn't be faked. She was not stupid and would not believe in those theories about fate and ghosts.

However, Miss Mu was given a marriage to Prince Ling...

Does this mean...

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

At this moment, another maid came in from outside the door, "Miss, Young Master Yang wants to see you..."

Qin Sangbai thought about it and decided to meet him, "Please ask him to meet in the flower hall..."

"Yes……"

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and checked her hair in front of the bronze mirror to see if it was messy. After making sure there was nothing wrong, she walked out and went to the flower hall.

Yang Yi stood in the flower hall, staring at the dish of beautifully grown orchids.

He didn't turn around until he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

The two men greeted each other before sitting opposite each other.

"I heard from the teacher that something happened to you on the street today, which triggered a very serious illness. Are you feeling better now?"

In front of the woman he loved, Yang Yi tried to keep his voice soft and careful, not as stiff and emotionless as when he was facing others.

Qin Sangbai nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to have worried you, young master. Fortunately, I met the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo, who brought me back to health. Now I'm fine. I've asked someone to prepare a gift, and I'm thinking of visiting you tomorrow to thank you. I don't know if that would be too abrupt..."

"Miss Mu saved you from danger, so it's only natural for you to come and express your gratitude. How can you say it's rude? After the court session ends tomorrow, I'll come to pick you up and go with you."

"Dismissal?" Qin Sangbai looked up in confusion.

Yang Yi's serious face suddenly blushed, "I haven't had time to tell you yet, but His Majesty has issued an edict today, appointing me as the Minister of Justice. From tomorrow on, I will report to the court."

Qin Sangbai smiled and said, "Then I would like to congratulate the eldest master..."

Yang Yi seemed a little nervous. He clenched his fists and rubbed them on his legs. He hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Sang Bai, you and I have been engaged for a long time. We had many concerns before, which delayed us for many years. Over the years, I have saved some money and bought a small courtyard, which is not too big, but it is enough for the two of us to live in."

"Now that I have an official position, I can use this as an excuse to set up my own residence. In this way, we can live alone after marriage, no one will set rules for you, and you won't have to face the troubles in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, okay..."

At the end of his speech, he became tense.

I didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing any reaction from her.

Qin Sangbai sighed, "Young Master, the engagement between you and me was made by our elders. I am sorry to have delayed you for so many years. However, Sangbai is weak and I am afraid that I will not live long. I don't want to drag you down...Young Master is young and promising, with a bright future. He should be matched with a woman of equal family background, good character and good health. There is really no need to waste your time on Sangbai..."

Yang Yi was not disappointed, but his smile was bitter. "I am sorry for being rude... Then let's not talk about it again. We can talk about it again when you recover. Anyway, I will not break off the engagement with you, unless, unless you tell me that you love someone else, then, then I will not bother you anymore."

He stood up, seemingly a little flustered, and almost bumped into the coffee table when he turned around.

He turned around apologetically, nodded slightly, and then left quickly.

Qin Sangbai also felt unhappy.

She doesn't want this.

She also wanted to marry him in glory and with a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe.

But, fate plays tricks on us...

How dare she delay him in this state...

"Girl, why are you doing this?"

Licorice came over to help her.

As soon as Yang Yi left, Old Master Qin walked in.

Qin Sangbai stood up and saluted, "Grandfather."

Old Master Qin pressed his hand and said, "You are not feeling well, please sit down..."
