Duke Zhen suddenly turned around and saw Jing Miaoyi walking into the hall alone. His temples jumped. He subconsciously took a small step back and called out rather awkwardly: "Mrs. Shen."

Mrs. Shen!

Jing Miaoyi's heart sank when she heard such a call.

More than 20 years later, Zhen Guogong's charm has not diminished. Instead, he has gained the steady temperament of a mature man. He is no longer just a young man full of teenage dreams.

She didn't like him calling her that.

"Xie Lang, sit down."

Duke Zhen Guo frowned, but did not dare to sit down. After Jing Miaoyi sat down at the mistress's seat, Duke Zhen Guo said, "Mrs. Shen, you should call me Duke Zhen Guo."

Jing Miaoyi frowned slightly and raised her eyes to look at Lord Zhen Guo: "After all these years, you still blame me?"

Duke Zhenguo: "..."

He just came to talk to her about the children today, not so much.

"I'm sorry about the engagement between you and me back then..."

"Today, I'm here to talk about my son's marriage to your noble daughter, Mrs. Shen. I know I'm here at the wrong time, but right now, our Xie family has no other options."

After Jing Miaoyi was interrupted by him, her expression changed. A ball of anger suppressed her chest, and then she let out a long breath.

She knew that Xie Ling had never let go. He still blamed her and loved her in his heart.

Jing Miaoyi did not mention what happened back then.

"I heard that Young Master Xie is still unconscious. Duke Zhen Guo came here this time to cancel the engagement."

After all, when the Jing family asked Xie Mansion to break off the engagement, Duke Zhen Guo agreed.

Now that Duke Zhen Guo came to visit him personally for the purpose of his son's marriage, he might not be able to ask for the eldest daughter of the Shen family to marry him again.

After hearing Jing Miaoyi's words, Duke Zhen Guo was also stunned: "I'm not here to break off the engagement."

Jing Miaoyi's eyelids twitched and her eyes were stunned: "Then you want our Shen family to ask the Emperor to terminate the engagement of our two children?"

If an agreement can be reached in private, and then the two families come to the palace to request for the marriage to be terminated, then this will be the best outcome.

however……

Jing Miaoyi thought wrong.

Duke Zhen Guo said with difficulty: "No, I just want to tell Mrs. Shen that our Xie family plans to let Miss Shen come over as soon as possible."

"What?" Jing Miaoyi's voice rose a little higher, and she looked at Duke Zhen Guo in disbelief: "Whose idea was it?"

Thinking of his current Mrs. Zhen Guo, Mrs. Zhou, Jing Miaoyi gritted her teeth: "Mrs. Zhen Guo hopes that my daughter will marry your son who can't wake up as soon as possible?"

The Duke of Zhen was said to be a bit disdainful, and he was indeed unkind in celebrating the occasion. This was indeed because the Xie family was not honest enough in their work.

And Jing Miaoyi immediately guessed the secret, and her voice became a little louder: "You, the Xie family, want to celebrate your unconscious son by holding a wedding event!"

She stood up from her chair at once.

Duke Zhen Guo quickly explained: "It was not my wife Zhou's idea, it was mine."

Jing Miaoyi covered her tight heart, sat back down in her chair, and complained in silence: "Xie Ling, are you taking revenge on me? Then come to me. Don't do anything to my daughter."

"You don't know your son's situation yourself? If you let my daughter get married at this time, wouldn't you be ruining her future?"

The Duke of Zhen frowned and his face was ashen.

What happened to him twenty years ago, he never expected to happen to his son today.

He smiled bitterly: "I never thought about taking revenge on you."

"You..." Jing Miaoyi's expression changed.

What does he mean?

Embarrass her.

Do you want to tell her that she is being too sentimental or that she is overthinking?

"You are right. We just want to help A Ci find a wife as soon as possible. My son's current situation requires a caring person to take care of him, so I came here today to propose marriage to Mrs. Shen, not to cancel the engagement."

Duke Zhenguo straightened his back and spoke to Jing Miaoyi in a somewhat forceful tone.

Jing Miaoyi stood up from her chair angrily and shouted angrily: "Xie Ling, how dare you."

"How dare you try to make plans for my eldest daughter? I don't agree with her getting married, and you don't see what your son looks like now. How dare you come to propose marriage at this time."

"You were not like this when you were young, Xie Ling. After you got married, why did you become so terrible, selfish, and inconsiderate of others? Have you ever thought about my feelings? You let me down so much."

Jing Miaoyi didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she said with a cold face: "A lot of things have happened in my Shen mansion recently, and I don't have much time to entertain you. You can go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Miaoyi walked quickly in front of Duke Zhen. When she stepped out of the hall, Nanny Song opened the courtyard door and hurried over to report: "Madam, there is an imperial edict. It is Eunuch Gao who is beside the emperor." Sent."

Nanny Song stepped forward to support Jing Miaoyi.

Jing Miaoyi said happily: "Then I must have been pardoned and not guilty. I knew that I could survive this disaster safely. There must be a traitor who framed me."

When she mentioned "treacherous person", Jing Miaoyi had a cold face, glanced slightly sideways, and glanced at Duke Zhen Guo who was still standing in the hall with the corner of her eye.

Nanny Song reminded her of the path under her feet: "Yes, madam, walk slowly."

After walking out of the main courtyard, Nanny Song looked back in the direction of Duke Zhen and asked, "Madam, what did Duke Zhen say to you?"

The muscles on Jing Miaoyi's face twitched obviously for a few times, and she said: "I don't even know what a big family is, but I also want to marry me, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. I want to take this opportunity and let Sui Sui marry him to his half-dead wife." Happy son."

"Ah, Lord Zhenguo is so selfish." Nanny Song agreed.

A look of disgust appeared on Jing Miaoyi's face: "Fortunately, my mother stopped my marriage to Xie Ling back then. I was born as a martial artist. I only think about myself and never consider other people's feelings. I am selfish. I shouldn't leave any part of it today." Give him some favor.”

The master and servant talked as they walked.

Duke Zhen Guo, who was walking in another corridor, had high internal strength and good hearing. Even though he didn't want to hear the ugly words of Jing Miaoyi and Aunt Song, those words would still reach his ears from time to time.

At this time, Shen Wan, Shen Lian and their family members walked from each courtyard to the main courtyard, kneeling to listen to the imperial edict.

Jing Miaoyi walked up to Shen Wan and held her hand, but glanced in the direction of Duke Zhen, then looked at Shen Wan: "How is your elder brother now?"

"Very good, the imperial doctor has prepared some medicine for Aunt Meng to feed."

"That's good. Your father should be back soon."

Come back soon, you think too much.

Everyone in the Shen family went to the largest courtyard of Guanlan Courtyard and knelt on the ground.

The Duke of Zhen Guo also knelt in the pavilion to listen to the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The son of Duke Zhen, Xie Ci, and the daughter of Shen Shangshu, Shen Wan, are a perfect couple. They are specially given the grace to get married. The wedding date is: the third day of the third lunar month is designated as the auspicious day for the wedding..."

After Jing Miaoyi heard the content of the imperial edict, her already bloodless face became even paler.

The third day of March, isn’t that tomorrow?
