Chapter 745: No Love Between Men and Women

Chapter 745: No Love Between Men and Women

Yesterday...

Thinking back to the carriage from the Qing Mansion that I saw last night, Xie Ying's bodyguard Xie Zheng was also on that carriage, "I know."

Tao Wenjun nodded, and seeing Xiao Zhenzhen was about to leave, she quickly called out, "Prince..."

"what happened?"

"This token..."

Xiao Zhenzhen knew what she meant, "Chang Weihao and his traitors only have a few days left to live. If you want to go to the Ministry of Justice to see him, go ahead."

Isn’t it said that women are soft-hearted and can’t accomplish great things?

Then you should harden your character. "The token I give you is your confidence. As long as you don't do anything that is against the law, my token will be your amulet."

"How could Tao Wenjun deserve such care from the prince?"

Xiao Zhenzhen smiled, "Maybe it's because it happened to be you, and it happened to be you who won the first place in the Jinzhou competition, and it happened to be you who was targeted..."

Tao Wenjun's eyes were slightly red, but she kept a steady smile, "Although I am unfortunate, I am also very lucky."

"Yes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand," Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Tao Wenjun, with a lot of expectations in her eyes. What Sister wants to do requires a lot of women, many tough women like Tao Wenjun to support together. "I help you, and I also help myself and the millions of women in the world."

"I know."

"Ah."

Walking out of the academy, Xiao Zhenzhen looked up at the clear sky. It was a very nice sunny day. She hoped that the future would be as pleasant as today's weather.

Zhou Yiqing stood beside her until she came back to her senses before asking, "Are you going to the Duke's Mansion?" He guessed.

Xiao Zhenzhen asked: "Yesterday, Xie Ying and Qing Chang'an went out to meet, but why didn't they come to the academy today?

Not only did she not come, but even Xie Jiaojiao didn’t come.”

"Perhaps, perhaps, something did happen."

Xiao Zhenzhen nodded, stepped on the horse stool, and said to Zhou Jian: "Let's go to the Duke's Mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Zhenzhen went in smoothly and saw Xie Jiaojiao with her hands on her hips, shooting arrows and practicing with swords in Xie Ying's yard. There were fruits and snacks beside her, and she looked very comfortable.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Xie Jiaojiao brought the servants from the mansion to pay their respects.

Xiao Zhenzhen asked, "Why didn't you sisters go to the academy today?"

Xie Jiaojiao frowned and glanced at the closed door. It was obvious that she was actually worried about Xie Ying, so she stayed at home to look after her sister.

Zhou Yi cleared his throat and said, "I'll go sit in the pavilion over there for a while."

Xiao Zhenzhen nodded.

After Zhou Yiqing left, Xiao Zhenzhen asked, "I saw Xie Zheng in the carriage of the Qing Mansion last night. Sister Aying went to meet with Lord Qing, right?"

Xie Jiaojiao opened her mouth, since His Royal Highness the King of Yue knew everything, "Yes, after returning, he locked himself in the room."

Ying'er frowned, "At least, you can't be bullied by someone, right?"

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Qing Changan dares to bully my sister, I will kill him!"

Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Xie Jiaojiao, who was half a head shorter than her, and asked, "You are so young, why are you shouting for war and killing?"

"What's wrong with me being young? If a woman doesn't become strong and doesn't want to fight and kill, then she can only get married and have children!"

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

"Girl, who taught you these things?"

"Because I am a young girl, no one can deceive me. If it weren't for my sister's intention to get engaged to Qing Chang'an, I think it would be fine if the marriage was cancelled."

Xiao Zhenzhen: “…”

Ying'er: "..."

Miss Xie is so brave!

“Men are so good, they can do many things, at least they can have a successful career and love life, but what about women?

She is so delicate and weak, and no one loves her much. She gives all the glory of motherhood, but in the end, it is just a trick to impress herself. Who wants that great reputation, who wants that glory of motherhood?

Rather than helping your husband achieve his ambitions, it is better to earn a fortune on your own."

Xie Jiaojiao sighed more and more as she spoke, "Why do women have to get married?"

Xiao Zhenzhen: "We can't simply judge everything." Although she couldn't explain the reasoning behind it, she knew that people couldn't just go extinct on their own.

We must always find a balance so that everyone can live well!

"Then why can't the man marry into the wife's family?" Xie Jiaojiao asked unconvinced.

“There are cases.”

"There are so few. There are probably only about ten of them in the whole capital."

Xiao Zhenzhen smiled and looked at Xie Jiaojiao, who was a few years younger than her, but spoke with some hostility, "Are you not convinced?"

"Well, I don't accept it."

"Then study hard. If you pass the exam, go and help my sister."

"I will definitely pass the exam!" Xie Jiaojiao said firmly.

Xiao Zhenzhen gave a thumbs up, but her mind was still on Sister Aying, "Is the door bolted?"

"It's tied."

Xiao Zhenzhen wanted to go over and knock on the door, but Xie Jiaojiao shook her head, "Sister said she'll come out when she figures it out."

"But she is like this..."

"Don't worry, she ate all the food I sent in."

In this way, Xiao Zhenzhen was relieved. It seemed that she would not be able to see her today. "Okay, then I will go back."

"Farewell, His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Xiao Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was really a fool today. In less than half an hour, before it even got dark, she had to go back home.

"Stay."

Xiao Zhenzhen called Zhou Yiqing and left the Duke's Mansion.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the tightly closed door, walked forward, and was about to knock when the door creaked open.

"Sister, the Prince of Yue just came over."

Xie Ying nodded slightly, "I heard it."

"So what happened yesterday?"

What happened yesterday...

Yesterday, they flew kites in the suburbs and ate cakes from Babaolou. Everything was fine, and then they talked about their marriage.

Ada and Mingzhu had gone to pick wild fruits a long time ago, and Xie Zheng happened to be gone for just a stick of incense...

She had clearly told Qing Chang'an that she wanted to cancel the engagement, and he actually knelt on one knee in front of her, begging her not to cancel the engagement...

Recalling that time, she was so resolute.

Qing Chang'an's eyes were red, and he looked like he was in deep pain. "Ah Ying, I don't just love you today, but four years ago, when you stood under the cherry tree and competed with your brother, I admired you from that time on, and I was determined to ask for your hand in marriage when you grew up...

It’s not that no one wants me, nor that I can’t marry a suitable girl, but that I only have A Ying in my heart.”

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to respond.

He was such a well-mannered man, but with red eyes, he grabbed her hand without regard for etiquette and begged her not to cancel the engagement.

This was something she never expected.

"But I don't have any romantic feelings for you."

"I don't care," he said in grief, "I knew you might not want me. I prayed to God day and night, hoping that we could get married smoothly."

"But I feel more and more uneasy. Today, you finally said it out loud. Ah Ying, even if you want to cancel the engagement, can you tell me who you are going to marry so that I can give up? Otherwise, I will not cancel the engagement..."
