Failed to Cancel the Engagement
Ye Yichen squeezed his sharp eyes and said, โShe is here to cancel the engagement!โ She was already here so early in the morning, from which he could tell she was really eager to cancel their engagement .
โI know!โ Old Prince Jing glared at him, โWhen you see Xueโer, say some nice words and apologize to her . Make promises to win her heart back, so she wouldnโt mention this again . โ
To say some nice words? To apologize? To make promises? Did it mean he had to lay down his pride to coax Mu Rongxue?
A slice of sulkiness flashed in Ye Yichenโs eyes . He said impatiently, โI donโt know how to coax a woman . โ
โThen learn to!โ Old Prince Jing snatched up the pillow behind and threw it at Ye Yichen, โArenโt you the God of War of Qingyan Kingdom? You could even sweep away the mighty forces of Mo Bei, but donโt know how to coax a girl? Donโt come back before you nail it . โ
Ye Yichen tilted his body and avoided the pillow throwing at him . Looking at his angry father, he frowned and said to himself, โKilling and coaxing are two different things . How could you put them together?โ

Besides, the old Murong Xue was soft and adored him heart and soul . He might win her back saying some nice words, โThe present her is headstrong . She hates me now and canceling the engagement is the only thing on her mind . She wouldnโt believe a word I say, and may urge me to cancel it as soon as possibleโฆโ
โThen what are you gonna do?โ said Old Prince Jing angrily while glaring at him . He said to himself, โYou messed up such a great marriage now . Iโm so pissed offโฆโ
After a momentโs silence, Ye Yichen said, โIโll ask someone to persuade her to go back first . Then Iโll try to figure it out . Our engagement is still there . I will try to win her heart back . โ
The new Murong Xue was arrogant and proud who totally ignored him . He wouldnโt lower his head to coax her .
His father still hadnโt recovered from the old disease . If he disobeyed his father, his father may get infuriated and hurt his body . So he used this as an excuse to comfort his father and then thought about how to solve this problem .
After a momentโs silence, Old Prince Jing said, โIโll leave it to you then . But, remember one thing . Your wife could only be Murong Xue . And your engagement can never be canceled!โ
โI know!โ Ye Yichen nodded reluctantly with sharpness flashing in his eyes .
The bright and warm sunlight was shining . Murong was outside the gate of Prince Jing Mansion, walking back and forth slowly, and looked into the mansion now and thenโฆ

Suddenly a tall and straight figure appeared on the empty bluestone road . Navy blue robe, cute face, it was the son of the empress of Ministerโs Household Xu Tianyou .
He walked before Murong Xue slowly and saluted politely, โLady Murong!โ
โWhy is it you?โ Murong Xue frowned lightly . She was here to cancel the engagement . It should be Old Prince Jing and his son to exchange their tokens back . Why did they send Xu Tianyou who had nothing to do with this here?
Xu Tianyou smiled, โOld Prince Jing has an old disease . Yichen is taking care of him and has no time to meet you . Iโm entrusted to invite you to have some rest in the guess room . When Old Prince Jing wakes up, he will come to see you . . . โ
โWhen will Old Prince Jing wake up?โ Murong Xue pulled her face .
โUrghโฆItโs hard to tell . โ Xu Tianyou shook his head, looking scarcely serious . โThe imperial doctors are still waiting outside . They also couldnโt tell the exact time when Old Prince Jing would wake upโฆโ
Murong Xue was a little surprised, โIs it very serious?โ
Xu Tianyou blinked and lowered his voice, โOld Prince Jing has even got severely wounded during the war times . Now he could never go back to the battlefield and has just passed the throne to Prince Jing . This time it is because of his old wounds . Every time it relapsed, it would take half of his life awayโฆโ

Murong Xue narrowed her eyes . She clearly knew the condition of Uncle Hui who had served as the housekeeper in her mansion for many years . Those who got badly wounded on battlefields should not get angry or use kung fu too much . Otherwise, when the old disease relapsed, it would be a real torture .
Last night Old Prince Jingโs old disease relapsed and he nearly lost half of his life . Fortunately he took a pill in time . However feeble he was, he should be sober now, โCan I go in and check on him?โ
Xu Tianyou smiled awkwardly, โIโm sorry . Prince Jing said his father needs some rest now . Before he wakes up, no one should disturb him . โ
โReally?โ Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and said word by word, โIโm just gonna take a look . I wonโt make any sound, I promise . โ
โLady Murong, this is Prince Jing Mansion . I only listen to the prince . So please donโt embarrass meโฆโ
Xu Tian spoke the perfect reason he had already came up with before he came . When he raised his head randomly, he saw that Murong Xue was staring at him with a faking smile . Her eyes were crystal clear like the stars and also as cold as the ice, as if she had already seen everything throughโฆ
Xu Tianyouโs eyelid was twitching drastically . And he could only stop his perfect reason . He curled his lips to make a faking smile, โWell, itโs really hot today . What about we talk inside? Lady Murong, please come with meโฆโ
โNo need!โ Murong Xue turned him down and then said with a flat tone, โSince Old Prince Jing has an old disease and needs some rest . I shouldnโt disturb him then . Iโll come visit him when he becomes sober . โ
Old Prince Jing should be sober now . He just didnโt want her to cancel the engagement, so he made an excuse to refuse to see her .
Jing Prince Mansion was heavily guarded . And those guards in the mansion all had been through numerous wars and owned superb kung fu . When she broke through all those obstacles and finally saw Old Prince Jing and Ye Yichen, Old Ping Jing had already been in โcomaโ as Xu Tianyou just described, and Ye Yichen was โtaking care of himโ just like what Xu Tianyou had told himโฆSo she still couldnโt cancel it successfully even if she saw them todayโฆ
โItโs late . I should go . Iโll leave these boxes to you then . โ Since Old Prince Jing didnโt want to see her, even if she waited till dawn, he still wouldnโt become โsoberโ . So she wouldnโt wait here under the sun like a fool .
Xu Tianyou cast a glance at those seven or eight big sandalwood boxes behind Murong Xue, and twitched his mouth . Werenโt these the betrothal gifts, New Yearโs gifts and festival gifts Prince Jing had sent to her? She took them all back . Did she really want to draw a clean line with Prince Jing?
But Prince Jing told him not to agree with it . So he could never keep those boxes!
โLady Murong, for the betrothal gifts, youโd better give it back in person . As an outsider, I shouldnโt step in your personal thingsโฆโ
Murong Xue cast an eye over him and said in a cold tone, โSince Ye Yichen asked you to receive me on his behalf, he would never take you as an outsider . Just a few boxes of betrothal gifts . It doesnโt make any difference to give you or himโฆโ
