He looked down at the remaining ring on his hand and asked, "Why haven't I heard that giving a ring means a promise of love?"

There are such things in modern society, but he has been in this world for half a year and has never heard of any connection between rings and feelings.

Rong Wanli looked at his master like a fool, "It has nothing to do with the ring. Even if you give him a piece of straw paper in return, it will be considered a token of love."

Oh my goodness, Rong Tang is absolutely amazing.

Rong Zhan glared at Rong Wanli and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. Hurry up and take the master to the Earl's Mansion to wash and change clothes."

After sending Rong Tang away, Madam Sima said to her daughter with a look of relief, "Now that my son-in-law has made it clear that he will not break off the engagement, what else do you have to worry about?"

Mrs. Tang sighed and said, "No, as long as it doesn't affect Tiantian's marriage, I'm fine with anything."

"Even if you regret your decision and want to go back to live with that beast, I won't allow you to do so. It's too late today. Tomorrow morning, I will personally go to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint and swear to sever all ties with the Tang family. Our Sima family is upright and honest, and we will never marry such a villain. I cannot bear this."

Mrs. Tang couldn't swallow it either. When she thought about how Tang Yuanze had been so cruel and ruthless that he wanted to kill his children even though he knew they were his own, her heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an icy cave.

She once thought that Tang Yuanze really suspected that the child was not his blood, so he killed him. Although she felt wronged, she still persuaded herself to forgive him. After all, with two children like that, any normal man would be suspicious.

She never dreamed that this man could be so cruel and outrageous.

When I returned to the yard where my mother and I lived, I saw that my daughter looked depressed, which was a bit strange.

She sent Rui'er and Mother Shen out and asked, "Tiantian, what's wrong with you? I asked you to go out and see Prince Rong, but you refused to go. If you don't want to go, then don't go. You gave him the sachet, and he gave you a token of gratitude in return. Why are you still unhappy? Could it be that you have other thoughts on your mind right now?"

Tang Tiantian's eyes turned red, "I don't have any other thoughts."

"You don't like him?"

"No. I... I just can't be happy."

She suddenly fell into her mother's arms and sobbed, "Mom, he has a girl he likes. I saw them looking into each other's eyes with deep affection yesterday."

(Rong Tang: No, which eye did you see it with?)

(Tang Tiantian: Two.)

Mrs. Tang was shocked, but the next moment, she suddenly slapped her, "Silly girl, who told you to go see him privately? Aren't you afraid that people will criticize you for being unruly?"

Tang Tiantian's eyes were filled with tears of grievance. Madam Tang finally couldn't bear it and comforted her instead, "Tiantian, this is how the world is. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women must be faithful to one man. I originally wanted to tell you this a few years later, so that you can have a few more years of sweet life. Now that Rong Shizi already has someone by his side, you must be mentally prepared and be a virtuous and generous wife in the future. As for the others, they are all concubines and can't surpass you. You must not alienate Rong Shizi because of this. A man's dignity cannot be challenged."

Tang Tiantian cried, "But I feel really bad. Others have two or three years of comfortable life after getting married. At the very least, they only let their husbands take concubines after they get pregnant. I still have three years to get married, but he got pregnant first... Wuuuuu... and gave birth to another illegitimate son... Wuuuuu..."

Mrs. Tang was also heartbroken. Tang Yuanze was no longer a human being. She had only taken in Concubine Cao after she became pregnant. Her Fuyun was still the eldest legitimate son. If Prince Rong fathered a concubine's eldest son and then married Tiantian, how would Tiantian cope with it?

(Rong Tang: Thank you for your consideration. I don’t have that function.)

The more Mrs. Tang thought about it, the sadder she became, and she started crying too, until Rui'er realized something was wrong and called the old lady over.

Madam Sima was speechless for a while after hearing this, but she was old and knew a lot, so she quickly realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, Rong Shizi will only be fifteen in October, he shouldn't be... grown up yet... Besides, he's still in mourning, how could he possibly be messing around with a girl? I think this kid is a man of action, he won't let anyone use this as a handle on him. Then again, at his age, what does he know about love? At most, he and the girl have been childhood sweethearts, half relatives and half friends, not necessarily for taking her as a concubine. You two are crying here without asking anything clearly, don't make people laugh."

Mrs. Tang sighed and suddenly felt embarrassed, "Mother..."

Madam Sima was very disappointed. "You are not a child anymore, but you don't think before doing anything. Come on, stop crying. I'll ask your eldest brother to hint at it someday. Even if you have an affair with that girl, let him be careful."

Tang Tiantian was too embarrassed to sit up, "Grandma..."

Mother Shen listened for a while and suddenly interrupted, "How could Madam forget? Prince Rong signed the document not to take concubines, but then he got so busy moving that he forgot where he put it."

Madam Tang and Madam Sima looked at each other and did not take it to heart. If men's words could be believed, even a sow could climb a tree.

Tang Tiantian wiped away her tears, feeling melancholy. Was she lucky enough to marry a husband who didn't take concubines?

She whispered to her mother, "I still have something to tell him, can you please..."

"No."

Madam Tang tapped her head and said, "You're just being awkward. What happened at home just now is hard to talk about, and it won't get out. Now that they've just left, are you going to chase them after them?"

Seeing her daughter's dejected look with her head down, she finally said in a bad mood, "If you need anything, go find him. If not, let Rui'er go."

Tang Tiantian said, "Regarding the Water Dragon Car Workshop, Princess Zhao Ling and I have an appointment to meet at Rong Fei's Villa at 3 p.m. If he's free..."

Madam Tang covered her mouth tightly. "I told you you have no brains, but you still refuse to accept it. A maid makes you sad for a whole day. If it was Princess Zhao Ling... you have a stupid brain."

Old Madam Sima looked at the mother and daughter and sighed, each one more naive than the other.

Rong Tang staggered back to the Bo's residence. The gatekeeper jumped up three feet high when he saw him and said, "The prince is back."

Open the middle door wide to welcome you.

Butler Tao came running over and helped Rong Tang down from the sedan chair, praising it, "This sedan chair is really unique, it must be very comfortable."

Rong Zhan said, "The master wants to take a bath, and ordered water to be boiled."

At the command, everyone in the mansion became busy. The main reason was that Rongxiu didn't like to order people to serve her, and the male and female servants in the Bo's mansion were afraid of losing their jobs.

After Rong Tang finished washing, he came out feeling refreshed. He saw that Butler Tao had brought out a foot-operated fan and had a servant step on it to fan everyone.

Rong Tang sat down and said casually, "The Bo Mansion also bought this."

Steward Tao chuckled, "It's just a frame worth fifty taels of silver. The prince is often away from home, so we don't deserve it. This was given to the Sima family yesterday when I sent sweet wine to them. Lord Sima sent it back. He said it was designed by the prince, and his own children can make it, so it makes no sense for the prince not to have a use for it himself."

Ever since the fan came out, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital were proud to buy a few fans. Only Rong Tang, who was the first to draw the blueprint, did not follow suit. It was not that he did not want to enjoy it, but everyone in the compound had a serious job to do, and he would be embarrassed to ask someone to step on the fan for him.

Finally, Rong Tang realized something was wrong. Where was that person who ran after him every time he came?

"Where's the Madam?"

Steward Tao gave a bitter laugh and said, "She was told by Concubine Rong that she couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she's chanting in the small Buddhist temple in the backyard."

Since Rong Xiu came to live in the uncle's house, she has set aside a few rooms to turn into small Buddhist temples, where she would go in to chant scriptures when she was bored.

Rong Shi felt that he needed to talk to Rong Xiu.
