After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Nanfu.

"Cousin!" Nan Yuan saw Xie Luochen kneeling in front of her house from a distance. It was raining heavily and it would be bad if he got wet.

She quickly walked over and raised the oil-paper umbrella above her head: "Why are you still kneeling here?"

Xie Luochen suddenly could not feel the rain, so he looked up and saw Nan Yuan. There was a thin layer of moisture on her face, and her eyes were filled with concern and worry: "Cousin... I'm fine."

Nan Yuan frowned and looked at him, saying distressedly: "You have been kneeling for half an hour. What if you get sick in such heavy rain? Hurry up and get up!"

"It's really okay." He smiled faintly, his eyes were as deep as the sea, but his lips were pale, "Cousin, all the mistakes are my fault, don't be angry."

"I will talk to my mother, I will definitely be able to convince her.

The princess is not someone I want to marry, and I certainly won’t marry her.”

"Don't talk about this for now, get up first." Nan Yuan quickly reached out to help him up, "It's raining hard outside, and you've been in the rain for half an hour. If you don't get up, you'll probably catch a cold.

I'll have someone take you back to the Xie family first, so you don't catch a cold."

Xie Luochen used Nan Yuan's strength to stand up, but he didn't know if it was because he had been kneeling for too long or what, he couldn't stand up after trying several times.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan quickly stretched out her other hand and pulled him up from the ground.

"If you don't forgive me today, I will never go back no matter what." Xie Luochen said stubbornly.

Nan Yuan sighed. She also had some doubts in her heart that she wanted Xie Luochen to answer, so she stopped forcing him and just asked, "If you want me to forgive you, do you need to explain to me first what exactly is going on with the broken engagement?"

Xie Luochen lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes. After a moment, he looked up, with a hint of bitterness in his tone: "Actually, I should have told you about this matter, but I was in a hurry to take up my post that day, so I thought I would explain it to you after I came back. Who knew that my mother would come to cancel the engagement."

Xie Luochen briefly told the story of how he rescued Princess Zhaoren that day and how Princess Zhaoren came to stay in his house.

"Cousin, you have to believe me. I have no idea about the cancellation of the engagement, and I will never cancel it."

After hearing this, Nan Yuan's suspicion towards Gu Jingheng reached its peak.

The so-called Princess Zhaoren is just a chess piece of Gu Jingheng!

Nan Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I believe everything you said."

"You'd better go back first, lest you catch a cold."

A warm current surged in Xie Luochen's heart, but he still shook his head. He rubbed his hands awkwardly and stammered, "It's just that my uncle..."

His words became quieter and quieter, and Nan Yuan couldn't hear clearly, so she asked, "What happened to my father?"

"Cough cough!"

Before Xie Luochen could say anything, a cough was heard behind him.

They both looked back and saw Nan's father standing there, looking at them with displeasure on his face.

"Father, why did you come out?" Nan Yuan hurried forward.

Father Nan glanced at her without saying anything, his eyes fell on Xie Luochen.

"Even though our Nan family is a small one, our daughter is not someone who can be bullied casually. If you continue to harass my daughter in front of my house, don't blame me for turning my back on you. I will report you to the authorities and make both families embarrassed!"

Xie Luochen lowered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan hurried forward and held Nan's father, explaining, "We just met at the door, so we exchanged a few words, but there was no tug of war."

Upon hearing this, Nan's father glared at her. Should he say that his daughter was stupid or naive?

Didn't he know that he sent her away because he was afraid that she would be soft-hearted?

Originally thinking that half an hour's lesson would be enough, he came out to send Xie Luochen away, but he didn't expect to see his own daughter coming back and speaking for Xie Luochen!

"My uncle is right." Xie Luochen bowed respectfully to Nan's father and waved to Nan Yuan, signaling her not to speak for him.

Nan Yuan was silent for a moment, then broke the awkwardness and said, "Father, why don't we go home and talk? It's too noisy outside, and if it gets out, people will say that our Nan family doesn't know how to entertain guests."

Father Nan's face was slightly stained with anger, but he was also concerned about his daughter's face, so he didn't refute her after all, and said, "Come in."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xie Luochen bowed respectfully, and when Nan Yuan helped Nan's father walk in, he followed closely behind.

"Please sit down." Father Nan pointed to the seat beside him, signaling Xie Luochen to sit down, but his tone was still not very good: "I don't think you care about my tea, so I won't serve it to you. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly, and then leave."

Xie Luochen, who had just sat down, stood up immediately and said respectfully: "My nephew came here to report the progress of the marriage."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Father Nan remembered that Princess Xie had used the same rhetoric yesterday, and he immediately became furious.

Father Nan looked at Xie Luochen, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "You want to cancel the engagement?"

"No, no, no," Xie Luochen waved his hands in panic, "That's not what I meant. I'm not canceling the engagement, I'm postponing it."

"Postpone?" Father Nan snorted coldly and said, "Although my Nan family is a small family and not as prominent as your Xie family, our daughter is not someone that anyone can abuse.

Yesterday you said you wanted to cancel the engagement, and today you postponed it again. Since you despise this marriage so much, our Nan family will not flatter you, so let’s call it quits.”

Xie Luochen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Uncle, you really misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

"Hmph!" Father Nan snorted coldly, not intending to listen to his explanation: "Someone, send the guest away!"
