Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"...Young Marquis, please don't feel sad for me. This is me... ah?"

"What?"

Wei Shimu paused, a look of misery frozen on his face. His overly engaged emotions were suddenly interrupted, and for a moment he was unable to react.

"Little...young marquis?"

Is there something wrong with his ears? Did he hear it wrong just now?

After a while, he tentatively opened his mouth:

"You, you just said that you agree to cancel the engagement?"

Yes, Nan Xi said with a straight face:

"Yes, you heard me right. Actually, you don't need to say so much. Since you have lost your virginity, even if you don't mention it, I will come to cancel the engagement."

"You're quite sensible now that you've taken the initiative to come to my house. I'll give you some face and not pursue your crime of stealing. But from now on, we'll go our separate ways and not interfere with each other's business."

"If you're ever unhappy, don't come crying in front of me. I don't want to listen!"

"This, you..."

Wei Shimu was speechless, a little confused for a moment. This is not right?

When he mentioned this matter just now, the expression on the face of the playboy Lu Liluo was obviously very excited, as if he could not accept it even if he died and vowed to seek justice for him.

He was still thinking about how to make her agree to cancel the engagement without involving the Second Princess and the Wei family.

It would be best if this fool could still feel sorry for him, so that this ex-fiancée and the power of the Duke's Mansion could continue to be of use to him in the future.

How come this dude's expression changed so suddenly?

It seemed like she didn't care about him at all.

Was it possible that the reluctance, heartache, and anger she had just expressed were all just his illusions? Or was she...playing tricks on him?

When Wei Shimu thought of this possibility, his handsome face suddenly became distorted. But he did not dare to speak easily and offend the Duke's Mansion.

So much so that the words that came out were a little stammering:

"Obviously, obviously, that's not what you said just now... We've been together for so many years, can you just sit there and watch me suffer..."

"What you said is so boring."

Nan Xi wasn't one to tolerate his bad habits, and she didn't have the same compassion and tenderness as the original owner. Most importantly, she felt a little sickened by his pretentious appearance, so it was no wonder she had nothing nice to say.

He immediately leaned back and said coldly:

"I thought you were going to the Second Princess's residence to serve her well and enjoy a good life, but you said you were going there to suffer. If that's the case, you and I are engaged, how could I really just stand by and watch?"

Nan Xi said:

"How about this, I'll go and ask the Second Princess for you. Just tell her that you find life in her mansion hard, and ask her to let you go and not take you in."

"The Duke's Mansion still has some face, so I'm sure the Second Princess will be willing to do me a favor. What do you think?"

“No, no, no, no.”

Wei Shimu took three steps back in fright, his face turning pale.

Is this Lu Liluo a fool?

If she really did that, it would not be helping him, but definitely harming him. He had gone to great lengths to seduce the Second Princess into his bed.

If Lu Li Luo really said this to the Second Princess, she would definitely be angry with him and might not even let him into the palace.

What would he do in the future? If his mother and father knew about this, they would never forgive him.

Stop, stop, stop.

This Lu Liluo was a complete failure, more trouble than success. Fortunately, he hadn't chosen to marry her. It was best to get the divorce papers and put an end to this matter.

"Ahem! Just now, just now I spoke out of turn. Please don't blame me, young marquis. In this case, please give me the letter of withdrawal of engagement. From now on... from now on, young marquis, please take good care of yourself..."

After saying that, he once again covered his face with his sleeves hypocritically and shed a few tears.

"There's no rush regarding the marriage certificate," Nan Xi said.

Autumn Frost

"The slave is here"

"Go get the mandarin duck jade pendant from the mezzanine in my study."

"promise!"

Wei Shimu was a little anxious:

"Young Marquis, actually, actually you don't have to..."

Nan Xi put her hand to her lips and made a silent gesture. After a while, Qiu Shuang walked in, holding a jade pendant of average quality.

There was a slight flaw in the middle of the jade pendant, which was the token given by the Wei family when the two families got engaged. Because the Wei family did not have a deep foundation, the token given was not valuable.

At the time, the old Duke had even joked that it didn't matter, saying that "a flaw doesn't outweigh a flaw." In Nan Xi's eyes, the quality of this jade pendant was like the man before her.

What's the point of saying that the flaws don't outweigh the merits? It's obviously a fake and very cheap.

But even such a cheap item was treated as a treasure by the original owner in his previous life.

In the plot, the original owner, for the sake of Wei Shimu's reputation, not only agreed to cancel the engagement after Wei Shimu's crying, but also promised to take all the responsibility for the cancellation of the engagement on herself.

And the next day, he went to Wei's house to formally break off the engagement.

But the original owner was unwilling to give in. So, although she proposed to cancel the engagement, she refused to accept the token of trust that belonged to the Duke and returned by the Wei Mansion, and she also refused to return the broken jade pendant, saying that it was lost by a servant.

The Wei family humiliated and verbally bullied him to the point that he became a laughing stock in the capital. The old Duke was so angry that he had a stroke.

The original owner in the previous life wore this broken jade pendant all day long after breaking off the engagement, and held it tightly in her hand until she was executed.

Now Nan Xi was just glad that this fool hadn't hung up yet, otherwise she would have been unable to pretend to be tough today.

"Give the jade pendant to Lord Wei,"

"No~"

Wei Shimu reluctantly took the mandarin duck jade pendant handed to him by the maid, and always felt that something was very wrong.

"It shouldn't be like this, this isn't right!"

There seemed to be a voice in his heart saying this. Although it was true that he had taken the initiative to cancel the engagement today, he always felt that the development of the situation was out of his control.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

But he didn't have time to think about it right now.

This time, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the government, he did not even bring a servant with him. He ran away alone. If he stayed away for a long time, he was afraid that the government would send people to look for him.

It would be bad if we made a big fuss about it.

After thinking it over for a while, he had no choice but to accept the jade pendant from Qiu Shuang in humiliation.

Suddenly, Lu Liluo's voice sounded above his head:

"Since the mandarin duck jade pendant has been returned, shouldn't Lord Wei also return this marquis's engagement token?"

"what,"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shimu seemed startled again: "Lu, Young Marquis, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I came in a hurry. I was also worried about some trivial matters at home, so I forgot to bring the token. I'll bring it another day..."

His tone circled around "trivial troubles" for a few times, as if he was recalling some sad things. Tears soon welled up in his eyes again, and his body began to stagger.

He thought to himself:

Ask me, what happened? I’ll tell you right away.”

Nan Xi didn't want to listen to his nonsense.

She rolled her eyes and just wanted to end this boring "broken engagement" drama as soon as possible - she had just arrived and wanted to rest.

"Lord Wei is really funny."

"You came to my house to break off the engagement, but you didn't bring the original token. Do you think my mansion can be played with?"

"No, young marquis, I, I absolutely have no such intention. I, I actually have my own difficulties..."

Nan Xi quickly interrupted his miserable drama:

"Stop, stop!"

"Lord Wei, since our engagement has been cancelled today, I don't want to hear any more."

"...I have only one thing to say. If I don't receive the token before nightfall, I'll have to come and ask for it myself tomorrow."
