Xu Mingxi felt relieved after receiving the news from Yang.

This is the best news I have heard in recent days.

Xu Mingxi had finished his porridge by this time and had recovered some strength.

I was slowly drinking the bird's nest and milk soup that Jin'er had just served me.

After taking two sips, she found that Jin'er was still standing there, with no sign of leaving, and looked at her worriedly.

"Jin'er, what's wrong?"

"Miss, Jin'er has something to ask you, I don't know if I should ask you..."

Xu Mingxi lowered his eyes and said weakly, "What do you want to ask?"

"My lady, your attitude towards Prince Rong... Actually, ever since you woke up from a high fever that day, I have noticed that your attitude towards Prince Rong and Prince Qi is completely... different."

Jin'er chose her words carefully: "You avoided Prince Rong before... but since you woke up that time, you have been..."

Before this, Jin'er thought it was another scheme by the young lady and Prince Qi.

However, ever since the young lady fell into a coma after receiving the imperial decree to break off the engagement, Jin'er discovered that everything seemed different. The young lady seemed to...really fall in love with Prince Rong.

The rumors out there these days...

Jin'er was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should tell Xu Mingxi.

If it were in the past, it would have been good news for her, but now it was very different. She felt that Xu Mingxi would be even more upset after hearing it.

Xu Mingxi noticed that Jin'er was a little strange.

Jin'er seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times, as if there was something she found difficult to talk about.

"Do you have anything else to tell me today? You seem to be hesitating."

Jin Er finally made up her mind: "Miss, there are rumors outside. In addition to those about Madam, there are also rumors about... Prince Rong..."

Xu Mingxi's voice remained calm, without any change in his expression. "What happened to him?"

"At the poetry and prose gathering yesterday, someone witnessed Prince Rong and a girl behaving very intimately. Even when the girl was being bullied, Prince Rong repeatedly protected her... It was rumored that the girl was Prince Rong's favorite..."

The more Jin'er spoke, the lower her voice became. When she saw Xu Mingxi's gloomy expression, she simply shut up.

Carefully watching the changes in Xu Mingxi's expression.

After a long silence, Xu Mingxi's clear and gentle voice reached Jin'er's ears again: "He and I have broken off the engagement. We have nothing to do with each other now.

Who he is with is... none of my business."

There was a sob in his throat, but he still pretended nothing happened.

It seems like he doesn't care at all.

Continue to drink the soup in small sips with a spoon.

"Miss... don't you want to know... who is the girl he likes?"

Jin'er bravely asked again.

Xu Mingxi wanted to say "I don't want to know" but when the words came to his lips, they turned into: "...Who is she?"

"Yes, she was the daughter of the third branch of our Xu family...Xu Xinyue..."

With a "pop" sound, the celadon spoon shattered.

Xu Mingxi's fingers trembled slightly, and he turned his head little by little, facing Jin'er, his almond-shaped eyes wide open, full of disbelief:

"Who did you just say?"

Jin'er had anticipated that Xu Mingxi might have a reaction, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so big.

Trembling, she answered timidly, "Yes, Third Miss, Xu Xianyue."

Xu Mingxi was stunned: How could it be, Xu Xinyue!

Why is it Xu Xinyue!

She is also the daughter of the Xu family, even if it is Xu Xinyue, can't it be her?

How could she be inferior to Xu Xinyue?

In terms of family background, her father was the Minister of War... Although he had been demoted to Vice Minister of War, it was still much better than Xu Xinyue's father who had no official position!

Therefore, as both of them are legitimate daughters, her status is naturally much nobler than Xu Xinyue's status as a merchant girl.

In terms of knowledge, brains,...feelings, no matter what, there is no place for Xu Xinyue to compete for!

Yes, Xu Mingxi admitted that there were times when she admired Xu Xinyue.

Although I didn't know much about her in my previous life.

But I have also heard some rumors about her:

The most popular rumor is that she is from the He family...

Although it seemed to have nothing to do with it later, he never returned to the He family.

But at that time, Xu Mingxi also truly admired Xu Xinyue.

Despite this coincidence, even if it was just a misunderstanding, Xu Xinyue never used the He family as an excuse to build momentum for herself.

She relied on her own efforts to become the number one female businessman in Beixuan.

But even so, so what!

Nothing has happened in this life yet, and Xu Xinyue is now just an unknown merchant girl.

Xu Mingxi couldn't figure out why Qin Yuechuan was with Xu Xinyue. This had never happened in his previous life.

Since her rebirth, many things have been interconnected and have completely deviated from the established route, even out of her control.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this...Xu Xinyue, Qin Yuechuan, how could they have any connection! How could they..."

Xu Mingxi muttered incoherently, his pupils were unfocused, and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he could not bear the blow of reality.

Jin'er was frightened. At this moment, she really wanted to slap herself hard. Why did she say all these things to the young lady for no reason?

Xu Mingxi finally recovered from the blow of breaking off the engagement, and now she...

Jin Er wanted to cry but had no tears. She bravely stepped forward to comfort Xu Mingxi: "Miss, these... are just rumors, and rumors may not be true... Maybe someone did it on purpose!

Maybe they did it on purpose?"

"Rumor has it...deliberate..."

After hearing this, Xu Mingxi gradually regained his senses.

Seeing Xu Mingxi gradually calm down, Jin'er cleaned up the leftover bird's nest and spoon fragments, and poured her a cup of tea.

He gently helped her hold the teacup in his palm, and then carefully and softly stroked her back, saying softly: "Miss...all these are rumors, don't believe them.

You don't have to take it to heart. I'm telling you today because I'm worried that when the young lady finds out about this in the future, she won't be prepared and will be taken advantage of by others."

With Jin'er's kind words of persuasion, Xu Mingxi's eyes gradually became clear.

"Jin'er, I know."

Hearing her say this, Jin'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Mingxi fell into deep thought again...

Rong Wangfu

At this moment, Xu Xinyue was hiding quietly behind the red lacquered carved columns. She stuck her head out and observed two figures, one in blue and one in red, who were talking in the distance.

It was Qingyang and Xiaoshu.

Xu Xinyue was concentrating on watching their every move and did not notice someone approaching quietly from behind.

Follow her example and peek in.

Suddenly he asked her:

"Yueyue, what are you looking at?"

Xu Xinyue was so frightened by this sudden sentence that she trembled all over. When she turned around, she found that Xu Yuanshan was behind her without her knowing.

But at this moment she still lowered her voice and whispered:

"Daddy, why did you suddenly appear here?!"

"I've been here for a long time. What on earth is Yueyue looking at that makes her so engrossed?"
