It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Chapter 406 Agree to Cancel the Engagement

However, at this moment, the servants were all there and the person had not entered the house yet, so it was not a good idea to ask too much.

After entering the house, the old lady kept holding Miss Lan and calling her her darling, not caring about anything else.

He just took a wet, hot handkerchief from the servant and wiped Miss Lan's hands and face.

He didn't ask why she ran away, nor did he blame her. He just felt heartbroken.

"Have you suffered? Have you been in pain? Are you tired? Have you been hurt?"

The old lady wiped her hands and face while carefully checking her body for any wounds.

Fortunately, Miss Lan was fine and there was nothing wrong with her, so the old lady felt relieved.

"Grandma, I'm fine and I didn't suffer. But I made you and Grandpa feel distressed. It's Lan'er who is unfilial."

Miss Lan waited until the Prime Minister's wife had finished wiping and examining her before she knelt down in front of the old lady. There was a hint of unease in her expression as she looked at the old lady.

Miss Wang had been standing nearby. When she saw Miss Lan kneeling down, she knelt down too.

I wanted to confess several times, but I felt that the timing was not right, so I hesitated.

Maybe, it can be concealed?

Miss Wang still had a glimmer of expectation and hope in her heart.

The old lady was a little surprised when she saw Miss Wang kneeling down as well: "Isn't this... the girl from the Wang family? What are you doing, what are you doing..."

The old lady also felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she said to Miss Lan, "Get up first. Don't be anxious."

Miss Lan knelt, unable to get up: "Lan'er has made grandparents worry. Sitting down is such a treasonous act. Lan'er is guilty. Lan'er dare not get up!"

The old lady's eyes were red and she started to cry: "Lan'er, why are you leaving? Is there something wrong, or are the servants treating you harshly?"

"If you have any grievances, why don't you tell grandma? Grandma can protect you. If something happens to you outside, how will grandma explain to your parents in the afterlife..."

The old lady became sadder and sadder as she spoke, and her tears flowed more and more violently.

As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something and glanced at Miss Lan. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be... because of the virtuous prince's marriage? That virtuous prince doesn't know what's good for him. If you've been wronged, ask your grandfather to go to the palace to see His Majesty."

"If it really doesn't work, change a prince to be the principal consort! What's so good about that virtuous prince? He doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't know how good our Lan'er is. Don't do anything stupid."

Miss Wang was watching from the side, and her heart, which had been hanging high in the air, finally relaxed a little at this moment.

Perhaps, things are a little better than she imagined?

Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion thinks highly of Miss Lan, and it seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined.

Perhaps, there is still room for improvement, and it is not time to despair!

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the Prime Minister beside him snort coldly and say, "You are still protecting her and criticizing the virtuous king?"

"It was the wise king who found the man. If it weren't for the wise king, who knows where he would have gone!"

"I have already promised the virtuous king that I will go to the palace another day and explain to His Majesty that this marriage has been cancelled!"

The old lady, however, grabbed Miss Lan's hand, her attitude of protection very obvious: "If you want to withdraw, then withdraw. Our Miss Lan doesn't care about this marriage!"

"Lan'er can match better!"

"you……"

The Prime Minister looked at his old wife who was so stubborn in protecting him, then looked at Miss Lan, and felt helpless for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"She's just been spoiled by you. I know you care about her and want to do this for her own good, but you also have to consider the situation!"

The Prime Minister said, "We are in the wrong now, not the virtuous king. Why don't you ask her why she ran away?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember the important matter.

She looked at Miss Lan hesitantly and puzzledly, and couldn't help asking, "Lan'er, why did you run away? Tell grandma, I'll take care of it for you, don't be afraid!"

She glared at the prime minister and her son, then snorted, "Look, who dares to embarrass you while I'm here!"

Seeing the old lady defending them like this, Miss Lan and Miss Wang felt inexplicably guilty and uneasy.

After the two looked at each other, they were both speechless.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Lan'er, don't be afraid, be good, tell grandma and she will take care of it for you."

Miss Lan bit her lip and looked at the old lady with a bit of trance and uneasiness.

After a long while, she glanced cautiously at the old lady and said in a low and timid voice, "Grandmother, Lan'er doesn't want to marry the virtuous king."

"That's it?"

The old lady seemed to be about to laugh out of anger, and she felt even more distressed when she saw Miss Lan: "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. Since the virtuous king won't give in anyway, it's a good opportunity for your grandfather to withdraw."

"You...you don't have to run away. How dangerous is it outside? Not only is it so cold, but if you run into any bad guys, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Do you know how worried grandma has been these past two days? She can't eat or sleep, she's almost going crazy..."

The old lady must have been really sad. When she said this, tears started streaming down her face. She looked at Miss Lan pitifully, as if she was about to cry out loud at any moment.

Miss Lan gritted her teeth, looked up at the old lady, and said anxiously, "Lan'er knows she is wrong. It is Lan'er who is unfilial. Lan'er... Lan'er has a lover."

"what?"

The old lady was stunned, and the prime minister and his son were also stunned.

The old lady's expression changed complexly for a moment, then she suddenly waved her hand and said to the people below, "All of you retreat, all of you retreat!"

The servants understood what was going on and immediately retreated and closed the door.

The old lady's confidant personally guarded the gate and didn't let anyone in!

The old lady held Lan'er's hand and asked, "When did you find a lover? Whose son is it?"

"If you have a sweetheart, why didn't you tell me earlier? Even if your grandfather has to sacrifice his reputation, he will make sure your wish comes true!"

Miss Lan just lowered her head, bit her lips and cried, not daring to speak.

The old lady felt something was amiss. After frowning and pondering for a moment, she couldn't help but ask Miss Lan, "Could it be... that the man you like doesn't come from a good family? That doesn't matter. Your grandfather can support him if he's just an average guy with good character!"

"If he is willing to marry into your family, your father's lineage can also be inherited by him."

"We don't want you to be rich and famous, we just want you to be successful. Since you haven't said anything, we just want to help you climb up the social ladder!"

The Prime Minister had a vague guess in his mind, but after hearing the old lady's question, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and said to Miss Lan, "Yes, who is it? Tell grandfather that as long as he is a good person, we won't mind your escape."

"Grandfather is here to help you clean up this matter."

Miss Lan was still biting her lips and unable to speak.

I felt uneasy, as if I didn't know how to start.
