Chapter 128: Qian Family Cancels Engagement, Ling Family Proposes Marriage
"What are you doing?" Teacher Wen scolded.
Madam Wen was so angry that her face turned pale. When she saw Master Wen coming, she felt relieved, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She hurriedly said, "My son! You are finally here. The Qian family broke off the engagement. Wen Jinhua has brought shame to our Wen family. How can I let her off easily? I just want to teach her a lesson."
Master Wen frowned and retorted with displeasure: "Mother, didn't the Qian family make it clear when they cancelled the engagement? This is the Qian family's fault and has nothing to do with the eldest lady."
"Humph, the Qian family was just saying it casually, just putting on a show, and you actually believed it?" Old Madam Wen didn't bother to pay attention to these. She stubbornly believed: "Now Wen Jinhua has brought shame to our Wen family, so it is reasonable for me to punish her."
"Mom, stop messing around. Although the Qian family has cancelled the engagement, the Ling family has come to propose marriage."
"Ling family?" Old Madam Wen looked confused, obviously very surprised by the news.
"Yes, it's the Ling family." Master Wen answered firmly.
Hearing this, Old Madam Wen was so shocked that she was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Ling Xiao is the son of Prince Ning, which means he is the nephew of the emperor's younger brother! He is the legitimate prince of Nanling!
Such identity and status shocked everyone present.
Especially Old Madam Wen, she opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief on her face.
Wen Jinyu, who was standing by, was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She couldn't accept this fact at all and couldn't help but question, "Dad, are you mistaken? How could the Ling family be interested in her?"
In Wen Jinyu's opinion, although the Qian family is also a noble family, they are only the Queen's family after all; while the Ling family is a real royal family with an extremely noble status.
In comparison, Wen Jinhua was just a wild girl from the countryside. What qualifications did she have to catch the eyes of the Ling family?
Thinking of this, a strong feeling of jealousy surged in Wen Jinyu's heart, and disgust and jealousy were constantly intertwined in her eyes.
She felt that she was much better than Wen Jinhua in every aspect. Whether in terms of background or talent, she believed that she was far superior to that country girl.
However, now she learned that the Ling family actually had their eyes on Wen Jinhua, which made her feel extremely angry and unwilling.
"How could I be wrong! The Ling family has already come to propose marriage, could I be wrong about this?" Master Wen frowned and scolded sternly, "The people of the Ling family are outside the door right now. You are making such a big fuss here. Do you want to let the Ling family know that we, the Wen family, are not satisfied with this marriage?"
Being able to establish a relationship with the royal family is a blessing that the Wen family has earned in their previous life. How could they be dissatisfied?
"Hurry up and clean up this place. Don't do such stupid things again!" After all, she is his biological mother. Even if Mr. Wen is angry, he can't go too far. So he turned to Mrs. Wen and said, "Mother, why don't you go to the front yard first."
From beginning to end, Xue Jinhua didn't say a word, but just watched everything happening in front of her quietly.
After the servants had cleaned up the hall, she bowed to Master Wen and went back to her room.
Master Wen knew that she was really angry this time.
Seeing this, Old Madam Wen stamped her feet in anger: "Look at her, look at her arrogant look, how can she take me, her grandmother, seriously?"
"Mom, please stop talking. You just wanted to kill her with a glass of poisoned wine. Do you think she will be happy?" Master Wen frowned and looked at his mother, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction.
"Why can't I say anything? She's just a little girl, is she going to cause trouble?" Madam Wen widened her eyes, looking unconvinced: "Humph, what are you afraid of? No matter what, she is also a member of our Wen family. Even if she is married, she has to listen to us."
Master Wen shook his head helplessly, thinking, if she was really from the Wen family, it would be fine, but the problem is, she is not from their Wen family at all...
Ever since Xue Jinhua broke off her engagement with the Qian family, everyone thought she would become a laughing stock, but they did not expect the Ling family to propose to her so quickly, catching everyone off guard.
They all sighed that this was simply a sparrow turning into a phoenix after flying onto a tree branch…
Those who originally wanted to watch the fun were now filled with envy.
After receiving the news, the prince, who was originally lying sick in bed, felt very uneasy and rushed to Madam Qian's yard with anger.
"Why do you want to call off the engagement?"
It would be fine if he just canceled the engagement, but why did that kid Xiao Si come to propose marriage?
Facing the prince's questioning, Madam Qian was like a still pool of water, her eyes indifferent, "Since you don't want to touch Miss Xue, and don't want to delay her, isn't it just what you want to cancel this marriage?"
"I………"
The prince was so angry that he was fuming.
"But you can't just cancel the engagement like this. Don't you know that canceling the engagement will make a girl unable to hold her head up from now on? You are not saving her, but pushing her into the abyss."
Madam Qian was furious, "Don't worry, after you broke off the engagement, Ling Xiao has already proposed marriage. Now the girls in Nanling will not only not laugh at her, but will envy her, because she will soon become the most honorable prince's consort in Nanling."
The prince was suddenly speechless, "..."
"Son, since you don't want to delay her, and I have helped her find her ideal husband, why are you still so angry?" Madam Qian pretended to know nothing. "I have always acted according to your wishes. Why do you look so angry now?"
How could he not be angry?
She was about to get married, how could he not be angry?
But facing Mrs. Qian's aggressiveness, he was unable to explain or ask. The anger in his heart grew more and more intense, so he simply left in rage.
Seeing this, Master Tiandao was worried, "Madam, will this... backfire?"
Madam Qian sighed and said, "If he is really indecisive, I think it would not be a bad thing for Miss Xue to marry Ling Xiao's child."
After the prince left, he felt as if his heart was being eaten by millions of ants. He could not stay in the yard any longer, so he took a carriage out. However, after only a few steps, he saw a familiar figure...
Xue Jinhua was shopping, and he was wondering whether he should go down to say hello, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of Ling Xiao standing beside him, and his heart suddenly tightened.
His heart suddenly felt blocked, as if there was a fire burning.
"Second Master, do you want to keep going?" A questioning voice came from outside. The prince frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, decided to give up the idea of getting off the car to say hello.
He couldn't help but ask himself: What should I do now? With what identity should I greet her? Wouldn't this just make things difficult for myself? Thinking of this, the prince felt even more depressed. He said, "Forget it, let's go to the Prince's residence."
He wanted to see why Ling Xiao was so crazy as to propose to her!
As soon as the prince left, Ling Xiao returned home.
When he saw the prince, he showed surprise on his face and quickly called out, "Second brother?"
"Well, where did you go just now?" the prince asked with a gloomy look.
"Oh, I just went out for a while, and when I came back I happened to run into Miss Wen, so I went up to say hello." Ling Xiao answered calmly, but when he mentioned Xue Jinhua, a hint of imperceptible tenderness revealed between his brows.
It can be seen that he likes Xue Jinhua very much.
This realization made him feel as if his heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"She just broke off the engagement with the Qian family, and you're already rushing up to propose marriage. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at behind your back?"
Ling Xiao didn't know that Master Qian and the Prince were cousins, let alone that they were actually the same person.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. The Qian family has done something really unkind this time. How could they cancel the engagement with Miss Wen for no reason? Miss Wen was not mentally prepared at all. If I hadn't come to propose marriage in time, Miss Wen would have become a laughing stock among the people of Nanling."
"Oh? If you say so, Miss Wen should thank you very much." The veins on the prince's forehead throbbed and he sneered in his heart. This man was clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but he still spoke so righteously. He felt ashamed for him.
Ling Xiao blushed, and said awkwardly: "Well... you can't say that. I have always admired Miss Wen. Now I finally have this golden opportunity. Of course I have to act quickly, lest the Qian family suddenly regrets it, then I will have no chance, right?"
