The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Shangguan Haitong turned around and ordered, "Huan Shuang, count the betrothal gifts for Madam to see. If there are any bumps or scratches afterwards, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes." Huan Shuang took out the betrothal gift list and read it from the top. Every time she read an item, the servant opened the corresponding item.

The people watching had never seen so many rare treasures before; they stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks.

This opportunity is rare. I wish I had eight pairs of eyes to stare at this valuable item.

It is their blessing to have such an experience in their lifetime. As expected of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, they are really generous.

Outside the crowd, on the street.

Three men were watching the fun on horseback.

They are all in their teens, unbridled and wanton.

The eldest grandson of the Duke of Huguo, Wei Yuyou, is seventeen years old and still unmarried.

He received the message from his grandfather and asked his brother to rush there. On the way, he met the ninth prince Xie Qiuguang, who insisted on coming with him.

Wei Yuyou admired the girl from the Shangguan family: "She openly challenged the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. This girl is truly admirable."

The young man on the far left is Wei Jingyan, the second grandson of the Duke of Huguo. He laughed the happiest: "It's so refreshing. That jerk Li Xizu hides away and dares not see anyone, leaving two women to take the blame. He is not a man at all. Oh, it seems that he is indeed not a man anymore."

Xie Qiuguang looked at the unyielding figure from afar and rode his horse slowly towards him.

The two young masters hurried to catch up. The horses stopped outside the crowd, so they could see more clearly from a high place.

When Shangguan Haitong turned around to talk to Huanshuang, he caught a glimpse of three people on horseback.

She looked over and was stunned.

The two young masters of the Duke of Huguo’s Mansion should be the helpers that my uncle found.

Why did the Ninth Prince come to join in the fun? Haven't you seen a broken engagement? What's so good about it?

Wei Yuyou noticed the look Shangguan Haitong gave the Ninth Prince, and there was obviously some story behind it.

He asked jokingly, "Does the Ninth Master know the girl from the Shangguan family? Could it be that he has attracted her heart without realizing it?"

Xie Qiuguang thought about it carefully: "Maybe we met a few times, but we were too far away to have much contact."

Whether it was a banquet or a flower viewing party, it was highly unlikely that someone from the Shangguan family could get close to the prince.

It's normal that he has no impression.

That's why I was wondering why the girl from the Shangguan family looked at me with resentment and anger in her eyes.

There are only a few spectators, so Shangguan Haitong keeps a calm mind.

Huanshuang was still reading the list and showing the betrothal gifts.

The wife of the Marquis could no longer hold back: "Enough! Have you ever thought about the consequences of humiliating my Marquis Mansion like this?"

The eldest daughter-in-law wanted to persuade him, but it was too late. It was hard to take back the words once they were spoken.

Shangguan Haitong was puzzled and said, "I'm sorry that I don't understand what Madam said. The betrothal gifts were brought to Shangguan Mansion by the Marquis' Mansion in broad daylight. What's wrong with me returning them in broad daylight? Madam doesn't want the treasures to be made public, so she ordered people to move them back to the Marquis' Mansion. Haitong will never stop you."

The wife of the Marquis's mansion felt a tightness in her chest. She certainly knew that taking back the betrothal gifts meant canceling the engagement.

But those things belong to the Marquis' Mansion. It would be heartbreaking to leave them in front of her without being able to take them back.

Shangguan Haitong winked and Huanshuang continued reading. She laid out everything one by one.

The wife of the Marquis's heart was bleeding.

There has always been a voice saying: Just cancel the engagement. The Marquisate cannot afford such a daughter-in-law.

Reason reminded her that she had to consider the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and not let the Shangguan family succeed.

"Who bullied my mother?" At this time, Li Xizu walked out aggressively.

He knelt in the ancestral hall, with wounds on his body, and walked with a limp, but moved very fast.

The protagonist appeared, and Shangguan Haitong stepped forward: "Mr. Li Ba. I am here today to cancel the engagement, and you give me an explanation."

"Break off the engagement? What right do you have to break off the engagement? You are the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, and it is your blessing to marry into the Marquis's mansion. You want to break off the engagement? No way. Let me tell you, I already have a candidate for the principal wife. You can only be a concubine when you marry here in three years." Li Xizu said proudly.

When this statement was made, the people were talking about it. Although there was a saying about having a concubine, in reality few people did it.

It's going to be stabbed in the spine.

The two brothers of the Wei family were dumbfounded. They didn't expect the Marquis' Mansion to have such an idea.

Xie Qiuguang frowned slightly, looking unhappy: "I remember that the girl from the Shangguan family was the original wife of the Marquis' Mansion. She returned home because her grandmother passed away. She was so filial, but she was treated like this by the Marquis' Mansion? The Marquis of Yong'an simply bullies people by taking advantage of his power and disregards filial piety and human ethics."

When Li Xizu heard this, he raised his head and put his hands on his waist and shouted: "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak?"

The wife of the Marquis and the eldest daughter-in-law went to the palace for a New Year's banquet and saw the Ninth Prince from afar, but they could not see him clearly.

The ninth prince is a maverick and doesn't like banquets.

He basically just showed up and left, and most of the ministers only had a brief encounter with him.

The two were unsure whether it was the Ninth Prince who had come. Why would a prince support the Shangguan family?

The branch of the boss of Shangguan Mansion is still possible.

The second son is just an idler, with ordinary abilities and not a remarkable character...

Xie Qiuguang dismounted. The two Wei brothers followed him. The common people made way for him.

The three of them walked up to Shangguan Haitong. Wei Jingyan winked as he passed by, signaling that he should rest assured that they were there.

Nodding in return, Shangguan Haitong's eyes unconsciously fell on the Ninth Prince. Her savior in her previous life...

At that palace banquet, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess launched an attack. The Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and other princes fought back.

The family members attending the banquet were scattered by the officers and soldiers who rushed in, and they hid and fled for their lives.

That night, the palace was bathed in blood. So many people were so bloodthirsty that they could not distinguish between friend and foe.

As she was running, she was approached by a group of soldiers, and saw the raised knife about to fall.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front, leading a team of elite soldiers to kill the enemy.

The man raised his hand to wipe the blood splattered on his face and turned back: "Are you okay?"

She recognized him, King Lingzhao Xie Qiuguang.

After clearing the obstacles, King Ling Zhao led his men to prepare to leave, heading towards a more brutal battlefield.

Shangguan Haitong couldn't help but say: "It's dangerous over there, you'd better not go."

Rushing into the center of the battlefield with such a small number of people would be tantamount to committing suicide.

King Ling Zhao shook off the blood on his sword and said coldly, "It's okay. I have something important to do."

What is more important than life? If you have never participated in the fight for the throne, why did you get involved at the last minute?

"You guys..." The Ninth Prince hesitated before turning away and said, "Take care."

This departure was a farewell. The fire in the palace burned many things, including the life of the Ninth Prince.

He saved her, she killed him.

If the Ninth Prince knew that the coup was her doing, would he still help her? ...

"How dare you! This is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince." Wei Yuyou shouted harshly.

Shangguan Haitong came back to her senses. She was not afraid of being discovered because she was standing behind a few people. She looked at the young and immature Ninth Prince without hesitation.

He was not the tall King Ling Zhao who swung his sword with such a swift and decisive move.

The sixteen-year-old young man, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, already had the rudiments of a calm, composed and mature appearance.

Facing this figure, she wanted to say thank you and apologize. She believed that she did not owe anyone in her previous life.

Only the Ninth Prince...
