Chapter 10 You Don't Want to Break Off the Engagement, Do You?
No matter what, Shangguan Yue had to be treated first, so Yumei hurriedly asked someone to call a doctor.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingzheng stood in Wang's courtyard with a puzzled look on his face. Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little wary: "Auntie, what did you ask me to come here for?"
Wang smiled and said in a friendly tone, "Miss, there is no need to be so defensive towards me. I have no ill will towards you."
She gently pulled her daughter closer, her eyes filled with tenderness: "I was able to give birth to Zhi'er smoothly, thanks to the care and help of the eldest lady back then. I will remember this kindness until I die."
At this time, Shangguan Zhi also bowed slightly and asked softly, "Big sister, are you feeling better now?"
Shangguan Qing was startled. She immediately became alert, staring at the other person intently, and couldn't help asking, "How did you find out?"
Wang smiled slightly, as if she saw through Shangguan Qing's thoughts. She said calmly, "Miss, you must have just recovered recently. Your eyes can't deceive anyone. But don't worry, Miss. I won't tell anyone about this. I just hope you can remember that if you need any help, just come to me."
Shangguan Qing nodded slightly, but her face didn't show much expression. She thought to herself, "Although I can't see any malicious intent from them, I can't let my guard down. After all, people's hearts are hidden!"
She decided to observe for a while, and at this moment, Wang said softly, "Miss, if you can, go find Zhixia."
Shangguan Qing frowned slightly and looked at Wang Shi with a puzzled look, "Why, she is Yumei's maid now."
Wang smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. She said softly, "Some people may be forced by circumstances. Many things are not as simple as the young lady sees. If I am not mistaken, if it weren't for her, the young lady would have died countless times."
Shangguan Qing's heart was shocked. He pondered Wang's words carefully, then nodded slightly and turned away silently.
She secretly sighed in her heart that the situation in the general's mansion was indeed more complicated than she had imagined.
Fortunately, her good uncle and aunt had no time to care about her at the moment, giving her enough time to think about all this.
Shangguan Qing returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and thought quietly.
She tried hard to recall her childhood and thought of the maids who came with her mother Yu as a dowry.
I remember that my mother, Yu, had four loyal maids, namely Chuntao, Zhixia, Qiuju and Dongmei.
Later, Chuntao and Dongmei were sent to take care of him. In Shangguan Qing's memory, some people gradually became strangers since his mother disappeared.
Because they were all trained by the Yu family, they did a great job in etiquette and rules.
As the adopted daughter of the Yu family, Yumei naturally transferred Zhixia to her side, while Shangguan Qingcheng got Qiuju as her maid.
However, it now seems that Chuntao and Qiuju have obviously betrayed their master, but as for Zhixia, Shangguan Qingzhen does not dare to draw conclusions easily.
After all, in the past period of time, Dongmei has always been by his side, taking care of him wholeheartedly.
Shangguan Qing decided to wait until Dongmei woke up before making a decision.
Only when Dongmei regains consciousness and communicates with her can the truth of the whole incident be better understood.
Before that, Shangguan Qing needs to remain vigilant and be prepared for various possibilities.
Soon, another servant from the front yard came back with a trembling voice, "Miss, the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness has come to cancel the engagement."
The visitor thought Shangguan Qing would be angry, but he said happily, "Great, great! Did he bring gold?"
The servant replied nervously, not really knowing what the young lady meant. "I brought a lot of boxes."
Shangguan Qing was very satisfied and nodded slightly, "Okay, lead the way, I'll be there now."
Shangguan Qing came to the front yard and found that this was not a front yard at all, but the gate of the mansion.
Shangguan Qing was also stunned by the scene in front of him. The gate was surrounded by people watching the excitement. His good second uncle was supported by others and came out with a happy face. His good second aunt's face was full of greed, and the red rashes on her face looked very scary.
Shangguan Qingcheng, who was standing aside, was wearing a veil, and her graceful figure looked extremely mysterious, which made the prince stare at her in amazement.
Shangguan Qing smiled. The prince hadn't seen Shangguan Qingcheng's true face. He didn't know what he would think when he saw it. He would definitely help them now.
Seeing Shangguan Qing approaching, the prince came back to his senses, "Shangguan Qing, I'm here to cancel the engagement."
Shangguan Qing nodded, his tone unfathomable, "Very good, is it all gold?"
The prince didn't expect Shangguan Qing to ask this, and he was a little nervous. "Where can I get so much gold at once? I only have a portion, and the rest will be replaced with silver. You won't be left without any."
Shangguan Qing nodded, his heart filled with joy, but his face showed obvious displeasure. "Okay, as long as it's not bad, I'll take inventory."
The prince was immediately furious. "Shangguan Qing, are you crazy? You want to count here? You are a lady from a wealthy family. Do you have the nerve to do this in front of so many people?"
Shangguan Qing said with a face full of grievance, "Your Highness, it was you who placed the silver here, wasn't it for everyone to witness our breaking off of the engagement?"
The prince was choked. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Shangguan Qing, but now he was being controlled.
Seeing the prince like this, Shangguan Qing shouted to the outside, "Oh, no way, could it be that the prince didn't bring enough silver and didn't dare to let me count it?"
The prince's face darkened and his eyes shrank. It was obvious that Shangguan Qing was right.
At this time, people outside the door had already started to discuss. Shangguan Qing started to perform again, crying and saying, "Prince, why do you have to do this? I know that you can't bear to leave me. In this case, how about..."
The prince interrupted her with a single word, "I really haven't raised enough in one day. I'm short of over 90,000 taels. How about canceling the engagement today? I'll make it up to you later."
Shangguan Qing asked reluctantly, "When will it come down? I don't believe it. Why don't you write an IOU and indicate the repayment date?"
The prince was instantly furious. "Shangguan Qing, please don't go too far. This prince's words are his bond."
Shangguan Qing shook his head slightly, "How could someone as good as his word cancel an engagement?"
The prince was choked again. At this moment, Shangguan Qingcheng whispered a few words in the prince's ear, and the prince soon smiled. "Okay, Shangguan Qing, I will write it now. I will not owe you anything. I will give you 100,000 taels."
Shangguan Qing was almost dying of laughter. How could he not guess what they were thinking? It was undoubtedly the second branch that wanted to embezzle the money, but it was all a dream.
Shangguan Qing clapped his hands happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The prince waved his hand and prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Soon an IOU was written and stamped with his own private seal. Shangguan Qing blew the ink dry and looked at it carefully to make sure there was no problem. Then he threw it into the space and handed it to the three.
The prince was very disdainful of Shangguan Qing's behavior. "In that case, this is the engagement jade pendant. I'll return it to you."
Shangguan Qing took the box, opened it and took a look. It was indeed an engagement jade pendant, so he threw it into the space.
The prince said, "If you return the engagement gold hairpin to me now, the engagement will be cancelled."
Shangguan Qing was a little confused. What golden hairpin? He didn't seem to know. It seemed like he had one, but where was it?
Seeing Shangguan Qing like this, the prince was obviously displeased, "Shangguan Qing, you don't want to cancel the engagement, do you?"
Shangguan Qing said with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Highness, you are overthinking it. The golden hairpin is in my courtyard. Your Highness, please have the gold and silver transported to my courtyard. I will definitely give you the golden hairpin when the time comes."
