Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Wan Shu was so excited that she even forgot Prince Qin Ming's identity and called him by his full name.

In the back, Song Dingsheng and Chang Baishan looked at each other and both shrank their necks.

They are Qin Ming's confidants, and no matter what His Highness does, they will follow him in the end.

As for the matter of choosing between the Sun family and Guan Yue, they had no way of interfering and could only stay away.

However, when Chang Baishan hid in the corner, he looked up at Qin Ming.

He knew His Highness's temper, but now was not the time to act on impulse.

If we look at it rationally, the best choice is actually the Sun family.

Facing everyone's questions, Qin Ming slowly took a sip of tea and bowed to Sun Miao seriously.

"The Sun family is very good, but I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of it."

"You have some conscience."

Wan Shu hummed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, she had secretly decided in her heart that if Qin Ming really gave up Guan Yue, her Lingnan Chamber of Commerce would never cooperate with him again.

No matter how much money she lost, she didn't want to see Qin Ming again!

Fortunately, Qin Ming did not give up on Xiaoyue.

A hint of joy appeared on Chang Baishan's face.

"You seem very happy?"

Song Dingsheng glanced at Chang Baishan in confusion.

"Yes, although this choice is not the best, it makes me feel at ease."

Chang Baishan whispered.

Song Dingsheng was stunned for a moment, he had the same feeling.

Doing this will actually make his brothers feel at ease.

At this time, facing Qin Ming's rejection, Sun Miao did not show any emotional change.

There was still a faint smile on his face.

"Your Highness, is this your choice?"

"Yes, it's impossible that the Sun family didn't know who I brought with me when I came to Lingnan."

Qin Ming nodded seriously.

Since the Sun family was willing to lend a helping hand, he was naturally happy to cooperate with them.

But if it was done in this way, Qin Ming would definitely not nod his head!

Even if I rely on myself, I can still gain a foothold in Lingnan, so why should I rely on others?

"But if you don't cooperate with the Sun family, I'm afraid your future will be difficult."

Sun Miao spoke earnestly, and then continued:

"Do you know why the Sun family originally maintained a wait-and-see attitude, but now they are taking action against you using the incident at the Yingbin Building?"

"Why?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly.

Wan Shu and others also noticed something unusual.

Logically speaking, the Sun family has now chosen to extend an olive branch.

The previous attempts were actually unnecessary.

After all, no one understands Qin Ming's abilities better than them.

"This is our explanation to the Xiao family... Concubine Xiao Shu's Xiao family."

Sun Miao spoke lightly, but his words contained thunder!

“The Xiao family…!”

Qin Ming's face darkened. As the former crown prince of Daqian, he knew too well the strength of the Xiao family.

I didn’t expect that this group of people would actually take action!

"Yes, it was the Xiao family who asked us to take action. The Sun family didn't actually want to target you. In order to give them an explanation, we used some painless means."

"But Your Highness, you must know that if the Sun family really takes action, given your current crimes of smuggling, reselling military supplies, hoarding food, and so on, you won't be able to get away with such childish tricks."

Now the Sun family has been protecting Qin Ming.

He even covered up all his crimes, and even the Xiao family and the court were unaware of it.

But without the protection of the Sun family, the Xiao family and the imperial court would attack again.

At that time, Qin Ming will become the target of public criticism and will be unable to fight back.

"Then now, Your Highness, could you please tell me your answer again?"

Qin Ming had long anticipated that since Sun Miao had come, he must have a backup plan.

But he didn't expect that the current situation the other party described was so serious.

Wan Shu also fell silent.

The Sun family is already in a difficult situation, not to mention the Xiao family behind Concubine Xiao Shufei.

The Xiao family's strength far exceeds that of the Sun family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the Sun family to help.

"Your beauty can marry into the palace as a concubine after my sister marries you."

"The Sun family will hold a grand wedding for you two, and the standards will definitely not be lower than those of my sister."

"It's just the difference between a princess and a concubine. There's no need to be so stubborn. Your Highness, you have more than just women behind you. There are also tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. I don't need to say more about which is more important."

Sun Miao's tone remained calm.

But within this peace, there is a feeling of confidence in victory.

Having said that, even the impending crisis will be difficult for Qin Ming to resolve.

If Qin Ming still insists, the Sun family's attitude will be ambiguous.

Maybe he will turn around and help the Xiao family.

After all, if Qin Ming does not marry, the relationship between the two sides will be difficult to advance further, and he is not worthy of the Sun family's trust.

Even Wan Shu, who had realized the seriousness of the matter, chose to remain silent at this time.

But Qin Ming suddenly laughed.

"I'm sorry, no one can force me in this life. If I don't want to marry, I won't marry."

"What!?"

For the first time, surprise appeared on Sun Miao's face.

Qin Ming's words were very strange and had no beginning or end.

But he understood the meaning.

Wan Shu suddenly looked up and stared at Qin Ming with trembling eyes.

But he found that Qin Ming was not afraid at all. Instead, he picked up the food and ate it calmly.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she thought of Guan Yue.

This girl really met a good man...

The look of surprise on Sun Miao's face took a long time to fade away.

Qin Ming said:

"If the Sun family is willing to cooperate, we are open to you at any time. I have never been the kind of person who would betray others, and you don't need to resort to such tactics that would hurt both parties."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Sun family will turn around and cooperate with the Xiao family?"

Sun Miao's face darkened, and his tone became somewhat threatening.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chang Baishan, Wan Shu and others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

If they turn against the Sun family today, they may not be able to complete the transaction with the Nanyang merchant caravan and will be arrested by the imperial court.

However, facing the other party's threats, Qin Ming has already let it go.

"If I were really afraid of these things, would I still come to Lingnan?"

"Okay, very good...it seems you can already afford the price."

Sun Miao stood up with a sneer.

His actions brought the atmosphere at the scene to a standstill.

"My sister will probably be very sad when this news gets back to her. After all, this is her first engagement."

"I apologize for any offense I've caused you."

Qin Ming nodded lightly and waved to Chang Baishan, asking him to see him off.

But Sun Miao did not leave at this moment.

The gold, land deeds, etc. that he had sent were not taken back.

Everyone was very surprised to see his strange appearance.

Qin Ming said:

"Mr. Sun, is there anything else?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet. You can put my sister's matter aside for now. The Sun family is willing to cooperate with you."

Sun Miao changed the subject, the gloomy look on his face disappeared without a trace, and he actually laughed!

"Ok?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
