Xiao Yu Likes to Eat Cats
It was clearly not her fault,
But the man wanted to break off the engagement.
This fourth miss of the House of Changning Bo was a bit too pitiful.
There were people who were pitied, and there were people who were slandered and stepped on,
Yang Shuqing, as the female lead, naturally attracted the jealousy of women.
As her fame grew, the people who were jealous of her were like leeks that grew crazily, cut and grew again.
Xie Jingyi, who had a good reputation, also had many people who took the opportunity to hit him when he was down,
They had to ruin his reputation.
"Fourth Miss Jiang is so pitiful."
"Fourth Miss Jiang is also unlucky,
She didn't do anything, but the engagement was broken off. I don't know if Lady Yang is too charming,
Or if Prince Xie is too heartless. "
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense,
The Crown Prince of the Duke House broke off the engagement because he wanted to be responsible,
I heard that the Crown Prince of the Duke House will recognize Fourth Miss Jiang as his meimei, the kind that will enter the genealogy. Actually, it's not bad to go from fiancee to eldest miss of the House of Duke Dingguo. "
"Bah, what kind of responsibility is this,
Don't insult the word responsibility. If you ask me, this Prince Xie is also ruthless,
I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that Lady Yang gave him, but I pity Fourth Miss Jiang. "
"Actually, it's not bad to be the eldest miss of the House of Duke Dingguo."
"What's not bad,
The Fourth Miss Jiang is an outsider,
She will enter the genealogy of the Xie Family,
At first, it might be good,
But after she marries, who can guarantee it? "
"I have insider information. Lady Yang and Prince Xie have known each other for a long time. Lady Yang's fall into the water at Rui Wang Fei's peach blossom banquet was actually a carefully planned scheme."
"What? Are you serious?"
"It's true. Very few people know about this."
"So that's the truth. Prince Xie probably already had thoughts of canceling the engagement. Poor Fourth Miss Jiang, she was plotted against by Lady Yang and Prince Xie."
"To think that I thought Lady Yang was extremely intelligent and not inferior to men. I didn't expect her to be so scheming. She actually shamelessly schemed against someone else's fiancé."
Jiang Lingbao, who was staying at home, didn't know that the rumors outside were getting crazier and crazier. The female lead, Yang Shuqing, and the male lead, Xie Jingyi, had their images tarnished. She had already become the target of everyone's sympathy.
If Jiang Lingbao knew, he would only laugh it off.
It was useless to smear the male and female protagonists. The worse the smear, the more exciting it would be to turn the tables.
House of Marquis Anyuan
Yang Shuqing sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth in the bronze mirror. Sweetness rose uncontrollably in her heart. She hadn't thought that the powerful Duke Dingguo and Crown Prince would cancel the engagement with Jiang Lingbao for her.
"Fourth Miss Jiang, I really didn't mean to steal your fiancé."
Yang Shuqing muttered in a low voice, hesitation flashing through her eyes. In the end, she stood and walked to the table. She wrote a letter with a brush and called in her trusted servant girl, Qian Bi, to give it to her.
"Qian Bi, give this letter to Duke Dingguo and Crown Prince."
Qian Bi took the letter and put it in her sleeve. She respectfully responded and left.
Yang Shuqing looked at the smoke curling up from the incense burner with a complicated expression. She admitted that she had feelings for Duke Dingguo and Crown Prince, but she hadn't yet dealt with the enemies from her previous life. She hadn't yet ruthlessly taken revenge on the King Of Jin and the King Of Jin's Consort. She didn't want to get married so soon.
But for her to give up Xie Jingyi, she … she couldn't bear to.
She also wanted to be held in the palm of someone's hand and be pampered. She wanted a gentleness that belonged solely to her. There was no other woman, only her.
Only Xie Jingyi could give her such feelings.
In his previous life, he only had one woman, Jiang Lingbao, and all the women in the capital were envious.
Yang Shuqing was one of them.
During those years in the Cold Palace, she had countless delusions. If she hadn't disregarded everything and married the King Of Jin as a concubine … would everything have been different?
Even if she couldn't marry a man as devoted as Xie Jingyi, she could still be a well-respected official wife.
She wanted to wear a phoenix coronet and a red gown, get married in a dignified manner, and be the official wife.
This had already become Yang Shuqing's obsession.
In this life, Yang Shuqing had changed from her previous life's pampered and brainless girl. She was no longer blinded by love, advancing step by step, seizing opportunities, and disguising herself as a man to make friends with powerful people in the future.
However, the rumors outside were abuzz. Many people were fishing in troubled waters and vigorously slandering her. Her father's concubines and stepsisters must have played a part in this. At this time, she couldn't forcefully stand out, lest the more she slandered, the worse the situation became.
She could only let Prince Xie make a move.
However, she couldn't do nothing. Yang Shuqing lowered her eyes and pondered, a clear light flickering in her eyes. After a while, she decided to invite Jiang Lingbao to personally apologize to her.
Yang Shuqing immediately acted on her thoughts. She called over another trusted servant, Qian Rong, and handed her another letter. After whispering a few instructions, Qian Rong hurriedly left the House of Marquis Anyuan.
House of Changning Bo
Jiang Lingbao quietly waited for her engagement with Xie Jingyi to be annulled. After waiting for three days, there was still no news. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and secretly wondered if Xie Jingyi had decided not to annul the engagement because of the rumors outside, right?
No, that shouldn't be possible.
The male and female protagonists in rebirth novels were extremely attractive, especially Xie Jingyi who already had a trace of affection for the female lead Yang Shuqing. How could she let the female lead be wronged?
"Miss, there hasn't been any news for three days. Prince Xie probably won't annul the engagement."
The servant, Chun Xi, couldn't hide the joy on her face. Even if there was an uproar outside, the engagement between Miss and Prince Xie hadn't been officially annulled. Perhaps there was still room to turn things around.
Didn't you see that the First Madam in the mansion was watching and didn't dare to go too far?
"Chun Xi, what are you so happy about? Prince Xie hasn't said that he won't annul the engagement." Jiang Lingbao chuckled and poured cold water on her without hesitation.
The joy on Chun Xi's face faded. She glanced at Miss with hidden bitterness. Why did Miss always think in a pessimistic direction?
"Chun Xi, I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the House of Duke Dingguo and the House of Marquis Anyuan. Did you find anything?" Jiang Lingbao didn't want to pay attention to the trivial matters of Xie Jingyi, the male protagonist of the original novel. She only wanted to know what Old Lady Xie thought.
It had been three days, but Steward Zhao still hadn't given her a definite answer.
Eldest Aunt's side was constantly making small movements. According to what Jiang Lingbao knew, the confidants of the Zhang Clan had met several times with Xie Jingyi's manservants. She didn't know what they had done with Prince Xie.
Jiang Lingbao frowned slightly.
Yesterday, Eldest Uncle, who had never cared about her, came over to give her a warning. His words implied that it was imperative to annul the engagement and that she shouldn't make any unnecessary small movements.
Eldest Uncle's qualifications were mediocre. He inherited the title of Changning Bo as the eldest son of the first wife. He also had a sixth-rank official position. For so many years, he hadn't been promoted.
Duke Dingguo and the Crown Prince compensated with a fifth-rank official position. Needless to say, it must have been targeted by her Eldest Uncle.
Jiang Lingbao narrowed her eyes and thought indifferently. How could a fifth-rank official position fall into the hands of the First Madam? She still had an elder brother.
