The regent is a yandere who needs to be pampered

"Yin Shuang." Walking to a secluded place far away from Songhe Courtyard, Nan Xi turned around and ordered, "What I just said to Gu Qingshu, you find a few people to spread it, saying that I have cancelled the engagement with Gu Qingshu, and Gu Qingshu also agreed."

Paused, "Remember not to find people from the Regent's Palace."

Yin Shuang hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Gu doesn't seem to agree."

"It's not up to him." Nan Xi sneered, "The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to cancel the engagement, how can he disagree?"

Just now in Songhe Courtyard, she didn't stab him with a knife, which was already restrained. She still wanted to have an engagement?

It would be best if no one would ever bring them together again from now on. Now she felt sick just hearing Gu Qingshu's name.

Yin Shuang nodded: "Yes." Turned and left.

The mother and daughter returned to Tingyu Tower, dismissed the servants, and sat down in front of the carved window in the inner room.

"Xi'er." Madam Nan looked at her thoughtfully, "Are you really going to break off the engagement with Gu Qingshu?"

"More true than Pearl."

Madam Nan did not object to her breaking off the engagement with Gu Qingshu. She was just wondering why her daughter's attitude suddenly changed after only being in the Regent's Palace for more than a month?

After all, she saw with her own eyes that her daughter had been devoted to Gu Qingshu for four years, and she was not living well in the Regent's Palace.

"It's hard to describe all these things." Nan Xi took a deep breath, raised a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth, and took her mother's arm, "I don't have any feelings for him now. Don't worry, mother, I was not forced, nor did I have any unspeakable secrets. My daughter really hated Gu Qingshu and wished he would die immediately."

But Gu Qingshu couldn't die yet, because there was no sufficient reason.

Nan Xi knew that the self-righteous Gu Qingshu would never believe what she had just said to him. He would automatically imagine that Nan Xi was coerced by the Regent, or that Nan Xi deliberately acted for the Regent's maid, thinking that Nan Xi would never let him go.

But it was true. Gu Qingshu was talented and had a good appearance among men. He could say sweet words easily, and he had occupied the most beautiful years of an ignorant girl for four years. How could such a relationship change so easily?

But Nan Xi wanted him to deceive himself. The more he didn't believe it, the more she could return to him everything he had done to her in his previous life.

And the most important thing right now was not Gu Qingshu.

Nan Xi said, "Mother, where does Dad's mistress live?"

When mentioning the mistress, Madam Nan's face instantly turned cold, "She's just a prostitute who sells her body, let's not talk about it."

People are born into different classes, but the way to make a living is often beyond one's control and not something one can choose, so she never looks down on those who sell their smiles in brothels.

Just like she doesn't think that she should be inferior to these powerful people just because she was born in a merchant family, there is nothing shameful if she walks upright and has a clear conscience.

But whether Liu sells her smiles or her body, it is her livelihood. It is her freedom to choose to devote herself to the prime minister, and it is also her own decision to give birth to a daughter for the prime minister.

However, if she has unrealistic thoughts and wants her daughter to enter the prime minister's mansion legitimately, it would be a bit presumptuous.

The prosperity and splendor of the Prime Minister's Mansion today is largely due to the efforts of her, the original wife. No matter how shameful she is, she cannot watch a daughter born to a brothel prostitute enter the Prime Minister's Mansion openly and enjoy the fruits of his labor, seizing the honor that can only belong to Xier.
