Chapter 28 The runner is a concubine

Shen Jingxuan came to the front hall, found a chair and sat down, without saying a word, just sitting there quietly.

Old Master Shen felt distressed when he saw her appearance.

Her precious granddaughter, the one whom the whole family dotes on, was hurt without making a sound.

Looking at the prince and Shen Jinghuan standing on the other side, Mr. Shen couldn't suppress his anger no matter how hard he tried.

Xie Zihan looked at Mr. Shen and said, "Mr. Shen, Huan'er and I have been in love with each other for a long time. Please agree to let me marry her."

Mr. Shen was displeased: "Marry her? What about your engagement with Xuan'er?"

"Have you ever thought that you are already engaged, the Crown Princess hasn't married yet, but you are going to marry her sister?"

"Tell me, have you ever been concerned about Xuan'er? What kind of status did you give her sister?"

Mr. Shen asked Xie Zihan a series of questions, leaving him speechless.

Shen Jingxuan sat there with her head down, listening to their conversation. Xie Lingxiao sat opposite her, glancing at her from time to time.

Xie Zihan was silent for a while, and as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I want to break off the engagement with Shen Jingxuan and marry Huan'er."

Shen Jingxuan raised her head abruptly: "Don't even think about it. Unless the emperor issues an order, you will never be able to cancel the engagement and you can only marry me."

She blinked her slightly red eyes and said, "As long as I don't agree to cancel the engagement, you can't cancel the engagement, and the person you like will never be able to become the Crown Princess."

When Xie Lingxiao heard Shen Jingxuan's words, his brows unconsciously frowned again. It turned out that she really liked Xie Zihan.

Xie Zihan said angrily: "We must cancel the engagement. I will never marry you, and Huan'er must be my Crown Princess."

"One hundred thousand taels, didn't you say you would agree to cancel the engagement if I gave you one hundred thousand taels as compensation? I'll give you one hundred thousand taels."

Shen Jingxuan taunted, "Oh, Xie Zihan, you're actually willing to pay her 100,000 taels as compensation?"

"Send someone to get the banknotes now, and I will break off the engagement with you immediately."

Seeing that Shen Jingxuan seemed to have made up her mind to agree to cancel the engagement, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but say, "Three hundred thousand taels, go back and get it."

"Imperial uncle?" Xie Zihan was surprised.

Xie Lingxiao urged: “Send someone to get it.”

"You are already engaged, but you are having sex with her sister. You should make more compensation." Xie Lingxiao said lightly.

"Yes." Xie Zihan was already afraid of Xie Lingxiao, and he didn't dare to disobey him after hearing his words.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen sat there in silence. Although Shen Jinghuan felt weak all over, a smile was on her face.

Xie Lingxiao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Shen Jingxuan stared at Xie Zihan without blinking, her eyes even redder than before.

The way she glared at Xie Zihan while trying not to let her tears flow was like needles pricking Xie Lingxiao's eyes.

Soon footsteps were heard outside, and the guard came in and handed the silver note to Xie Zihan.

He turned around and handed the banknote to Shen Jingxuan. When he saw her almond-shaped eyes slightly red and her lips tightly pursed, Xie Zihan felt a little better.

Isn't it just spending some money? There will be more money in the future, as long as I can break off the engagement with this fool.

Xie Zihan gradually began to laugh: "Shen Jingxuan, take the silver and we'll cancel the engagement."

Shen Jingxuan raised her hand to take the banknotes and stood there counting them one by one.

After counting the banknotes, she looked at Mr. Shen and laughed, "Grandfather, I agree to cancel the engagement."

"Chun Tao, prepare pen and ink." She turned and sat down at the table.

"Yes, miss." Chuntao responded and hurried to prepare.

When Shen Jingxuan saw the pen and ink in front of her, she picked up the pen and started writing.

Today, Shen Jingxuan broke off the engagement with Crown Prince Xie Zihan. In the future, they are free to marry and there will be no interference in each other's marriage.

After she finished writing two copies, she picked up one and slapped it on Xie Zihan: "I can only break off the engagement with you."

After saying this, Shen Jingxuan left with her maid without looking back.

She had been sitting here for so long just to get these banknotes.

Xie Zihan and Shen Jinghuan are not worthy of her company.

Since they wanted to harm her, how could she not tear a piece of flesh from them?

Since ancient times, those who were engaged became wives, and those who escaped became concubines. Shen Jinghuan would never be able to become a crown princess in her lifetime.

There were footsteps behind her, and Shen Jingxuan turned around to see Xie Lingxiao following her out.

Thinking that he had just helped her, Shen Jingxuan did not leave immediately.

If she turned around and left, it would seem like she was being ungrateful.

She looked at Xie Lingxiao patiently: "Is the Regent planning to leave the palace?"

Xie Lingxiao, who wanted to leave immediately, saw her stop talking to him and said "hmm" expressionlessly.

Shen Jingxuan didn't care and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out of the house."

She walked in front, regardless of whether the people behind her caught up.

Xie Lingxiao hesitated for a moment, then followed him. The two of them walked towards the mansion gate one after the other, and no one said another word.

When the two of them stood outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Shen Jingxuan turned around and looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Thank you, Prince Regent, for your help just now."

"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao looked at the woman in front of him and responded.

Looking at the indifferent woman in front of him, Xie Zihan frowned slightly.

A woman who is recognized as mentally retarded by the whole capital, and has been mentally retarded for more than ten years, when did she become like this?

I don't know if she was pretending for the past ten years or if she suddenly stopped being stupid overnight.

Shen Jingxuan saw that the person in front of her was staring at her without saying a word.

She gradually lost her patience and frowned: "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Xie Lingxiao, turned around and left with her maid.

Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but wonder if this stinky man was sick. He just stared at her without saying a word.

She doesn't want to have any contact with the opposite sex now, thinking of Guo Yanting in her previous life, the prince now.

Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure out whether it was because she hadn't met a good man, or if all men were the same.

If all else is the same, she hopes to stay away from men in this life, and being alone is enough.

Only when Shen Jingxuan disappeared from his sight did Xie Lingxiao turn around and walk away.

Shen Jingxuan brought her maids back to Yuxuan Courtyard, and the maids were still excited.

Chun Tao handed the box in her arms to Shen Jingxuan: "Miss, what should we do with these banknotes?"

Shen Jingxuan did not answer. She took the box casually, opened it, and looked at the banknotes inside quietly without saying a word.

Then she looked up at the maids. She remembered that they followed her every day when they were young.

At that time, her mother and father always taught her something, and several maids also learned along with her.

Although he was stupid at that time, he studied hard. Chuntao and the others had a rare opportunity like this, so they worked even harder.

Her eyes scanned several people one by one, then lowered her head to look at the box in her hand.

The maids watched Shen Jingxuan look at them for a while, then lower her head in thought, not understanding what had happened to their young lady.

Chun Tao looked at Shen Jingxuan and asked, "Miss, are you worried about something? Why are you looking at us?"

As soon as she said this, several pairs of eyes looked at Shen Jingxuan.

"We have been learning things together since we were young. Who do you think learned the fastest back then?"

Chun Tao's face turned slightly red: "Miss, Qiu You is the fastest learner, and I, I am the slowest."

"Puchi..." Seeing Chuntao's blushing face, Shen Jingxuan and others laughed.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the laughing people and asked, "I want you to help me do something, are you willing?"
