After awakening, the eldest daughter was slapped all the way

"Princess Princess——"

Butler Wu frowned!

The princess never spoke so bluntly before, and she would always leave some room for maneuver.

But thinking about what the princess had experienced in the past few days, Butler Wu finally stopped talking.

Huo Tang thought that this old butler was loyal to the palace and was the one who had watched her grow up.

She suppressed the coldness in her eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Butler Wu, I know what you want to say, but I don't want to see him right now!"

Hearing this, Wu Guanjia thought that the princess was still angry. He sighed and said, "It was indeed that Master Gu who made the mistake before. But, princess, Master Gu is of noble status and a rising genius of Luo Ling Country..."

Before, Mr. Gu just had a misunderstanding about the princess. Now that the princess is fine and the other party has come to her on his own initiative, he thinks the princess should have a talk with him.

I can also take advantage of this opportunity to control the other party, and even better, make Mr. Gu retract his previous intention to cancel the engagement.

The other party didn't say anything else, but based on Huo Tang's understanding of the old housekeeper, she knew exactly what he was thinking.

She sneered and stood up: "When I was in trouble, this person blamed me without knowing the truth. Do you think such a person can have a good ending?"

"But, this..." Butler Wu was a little anxious. He also knew that Master Gu had gone too far, but the two families had already made a marriage contract, and now there was no one to support the palace. If they lost the marriage with the Gu family, it would be another blow to their palace.

He looked up: "The princess and Mr. Gu have been childhood sweethearts, could it be..."

"There is no need to talk about this anymore. If Gu Yeming still has a conscience, he would not embarrass me in public!" Huo Tang waved his hand to interrupt Butler Wu, his tone already displeased.

She was impatient in her heart, but she was still thinking about the friendship of more than ten years, and she also knew that the housekeeper was thinking about her wholeheartedly, so she patiently told him all this.

But this does not mean that the other party can interfere in her affairs.

Steward Wu was a shrewd man, so he could naturally hear the tone of the princess at the moment.

He was silent, inevitably shocked.

The princess was thirteen years old when she took charge of the palace. Over the years, the princess had always discussed everything with him, but this was the first time that the princess's tone was so firm.

He was shocked and realized that he had lost his duty as a servant.

I feel a little lost, but also a little relieved!

He nodded: "Since the princess has made up her mind, then this old servant will report back to Master Gu!"

The princess is the owner of the palace. Although he has his own considerations, he should trust the princess's own decision.

"Go ahead, not just him. Pass the order down. This princess has been ordered to stay at home and reflect on herself for the next few days. She is not to see anyone!"

Huo Tang waved his hand, signaling the other party to go down.

Butler Wu bowed and left, but came back in soon after, his expression even uglier than before.

"My Lady, the princess of the Gu family said she came to you to break off the engagement and return the marriage certificate and tokens signed by both families. If you refuse to let her into the mansion, she will ask you to leave and talk to her!"

As Butler Wu spoke, his face turned pale: "This is too much!!!"

He had previously thought that the young master of the Gu family came to apologize, but he never imagined that the other party had such an idea and wanted to cancel the marriage completely.

Huo Tang was not surprised and replied, "No, go tell him that this princess is under house arrest. If you have anything to say, wait until this matter is over!"

It's not that easy to cancel an engagement so easily!!!

She will withdraw from the marriage, but it won’t be the other party who withdraws!

There was no way she would let him break off the engagement so easily.

"Princess, you are not..." Butler Wu was puzzled.

Didn’t the princess’ previous attitude make her feel disappointed with the young master of the Gu family? Why is she unwilling to discuss this matter with him now?

Although he was angry about what Master Gu had done, since he was so heartless and ungrateful, and the princess had no interest in him anymore, why not take this opportunity to completely cancel the engagement between the two families and have no further involvement in the future.

"If I agree to his breaking off the engagement just like that, considering what he did before, the people of Lingdu will just think that I was disliked by Gu Yeming and was rejected by him. Then where will I be able to save my face?"

Huo Tang sneered.

Butler Wu was shocked. After hearing what the princess said, he finally understood the danger involved.

What the young master of the Gu family did was truly despicable. He had absolutely no regard for the long-standing friendship between the two families. Everything he did was to ruin the princess's reputation and make her a laughing stock!!!

"My princess is wise, and I am confused!"

He broke out in a cold sweat, almost harming the princess. If the princess hadn't seen through all of this, after today, their palace would have become a real joke.

He looked worried: "But, this Mr. Gu is not a good man. If the marriage is not cancelled, in the future..."

Huo Tang felt that he was indeed not smart. She said, "This princess already has a solution for this matter. I will withdraw from the marriage, but it will be Gu Yeming who will be embarrassed. Now you must do as I have just said. If he dares to make trouble in front of the palace, let him learn a lesson!"

Butler Wu was already convinced by the princess, and this time he did it without any hesitation.

......

"She doesn't want to see me?"

After hearing what Butler Wu said, Gu Yeming pondered for a moment, his expression complicated.

Huo Tang doesn't want to break off the engagement with me?

After all, the two have been in love for more than ten years, and he feels a little reluctant. He doesn't want them to end up like this.

However, he already had someone in his heart and had no feelings for Huo Tang. Moreover, he had already promised Qing'er that he would marry her.

Only a talented woman like Qing'er is a suitable partner for him, and the two of them can go further in the future.

His face turned cold. "My love for your princess has ended. I have withdrawn from the marriage between our two families, and my family elders have also agreed. So, her avoiding me like this won't solve the problem!"

Steward Wu suppressed his anger and said calmly, "The engagement was originally agreed upon by both families. Even if we want to cancel it now, we can't just do it based on what Young Master Gu's family says. Once my princess's confinement is over, I will discuss this matter with Young Master Gu. As for Young Master Gu disregarding the friendship between our two families and arbitrarily proposing to cancel the engagement in public, he should give our palace and the princess an explanation when the time comes!"

After Wu Guanjia finished speaking, he did not want to say anything more to the other party and directly ordered the doorman to close the door: "The princess is under house arrest. The palace is not convenient for receiving guests!"

The door was closed tightly under Gu Yeming's unpleasant expression. Butler Wu had already gone to the backyard and reported the matter to Huo Tang.

"He's the one who wants to cancel the engagement now. This princess is not in a hurry, let him be left alone for now!"

Huo Tang smiled and rocked lightly on the chair...

"This princess remembers that Lingdu will hold an open martial arts competition in half a month. The winner can ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree, right?"

"Yes, Princess. We have several outstanding candidates in our mansion who will also participate this time!"

Steward Wu didn't know why the princess suddenly brought up this matter, but he still answered truthfully.

"Okay, go get someone to sign me up for the martial arts competition in half a month!"
