Chapter 795 I dare not promise you this chapter

"Father."

After Qing Chang'an entered the study, he saw his usually steady father sitting at the desk with a frown on his face.

"What on earth did you do to make Miss Xie break off the engagement with you?"

Qing Changan said: "My son did nothing."

"Then why did she cancel the engagement?"

"She doesn't like her son."

"Don't like it?" Qing Chengshi laughed. "Marriage is a big deal. It's decided by parents and matchmakers. We have a matchmaker and our parents agree to the marriage. Why do we want to cancel the engagement?"

"Father, have you forgotten?" He looked at Qing Chengshi. The current emperor advocated equality between men and women. Let alone engagement, even if they were married, they could get divorced for any reason if they had different tempers, different values, or couldn't get along well!

Qing Chengshi was choked.

He had never opposed the emperor's policies, but he had never thought that this boomerang would hit his own son!

These girls, if they get the slightest bit of rights, will take advantage of others!

How can you be so hasty in cancelling an engagement?

"Didn't you have a good talk with Miss Xie?"

"We talked about it, and I even begged her, but she was unwilling and still wanted to cancel the engagement..."

Please, beg her!

Qing Chengshi was really mad.

He looked at Qing Changan, "Just because you don't like you? Why did you agree to the marriage in the first place if you didn't like me? There must be a reason! There must be a reason!"

Qing Chengshi looked at Qing Changan, but his son was not a person with any flaws.

Qing Changan smiled bitterly, "Because Mengchun knelt in front of her, begging her to give Mengchun and her son a chance to live!"

"what?"

Qing Chengshi looked at Qing Changan, "Who is Mengchun, your concubine?"

"Yes."

"She's pregnant with your child?"

"Yes."

"Where are people?"

Qing Changan said: "In my house."

Qing Chengshi thought of something, "This child cannot be kept. If you break off the engagement with Xie Ying and have another illegitimate son, how can you talk about the daughter of a good family?"

"Someone is coming..."

"Father!"

Qing Changan hurriedly stopped him, "Father, Mengchun cannot be killed!"

"She is just a maid, why can't I kill her? Since the child is not born yet, she is not a member of my family! It's just his bad luck that he has to be in the belly of a concubine at this time!"

Qing Changan said: "If Ah Ying knew that Mengchun was dead, she would never look back."

Qing Chengshi pointed at Qing Changan and said, "I never thought that I would give birth to a love-crazy person like you!"

"What are women? They are nothing but clothes. Maids and concubines are nothing but toys. Do you really want to let such people give birth to my family's eldest son? How foolish!"

Qing Changan opened his mouth and said, "Father, please be careful with your words. If the emperor knew about these words, it would be treason!"

"Oh, even if the emperor wants to reform, it can't be done overnight. Let's see if the noble families agree or not?"

"Gender equality is already the greatest concession made by the aristocratic family. Could it be that she wants to free the slaves? Let's dismiss the eunuchs and maids in her palace first!"

Qing Chang'an knew that what his father said made sense, but he would never agree with it. If Aying knew, she would probably never speak to him again.

Even, they will look down on him!

"Don't worry about this matter, let your father do it!" Qing Chengshi said.

Qing Changan took a long breath and said, "Father, if I can't marry Xie Ying, I will never marry again, and I won't touch any other woman. As for Mengchun, she may be the only woman who gave birth to my son."

"presumptuous!"

Qing Chengshi was so angry that he threw the inkstone at Qing Changan. Qing Changan did not dodge, and his forehead instantly became red and swollen, and a big bump appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Why don't you dodge?

Just crazy!

"Father, you should know that I never speak empty words."

"You are unfilial!"

Qing Changan doesn't know whether it is filial or not, but——

He had never felt so dejected. If he had known this would happen, he would never have kept Mengchun.

It's all his fault for being soft-hearted.

It was also his fault for being impulsive and unable to bear the loneliness during those years.

Qing Chengshi certainly understood his son. "If that's the case, then let's go and cancel the engagement tomorrow. If Xie Yunchu really comes to cancel the engagement, what will you do in the future?"

"Father, I..." He didn't want to cancel the engagement, but what could he do?

"Asshole, it's already this late, so what if you don't want to? Do you really have to wait for them to come and cancel the engagement?"

"I always listen to my father."

Qing Chengshi breathed a sigh of relief. It was such a great humiliation!

The Duke's Mansion.

Chujiu came to the Duke's Mansion with a message. When she saw Xie Ying, she smiled happily and said, "Miss, please don't go to the National Women's Prison tomorrow."

Xie Ying asked: "Why is that?"

"My Lord said that the Qing Mansion should come to cancel the engagement tomorrow."

Come and cancel the engagement!

Xie Ying couldn't stop being excited. Xie Jiaojiao beside him said, "Do I have to call Yun Ce back? And the uncles in the clan?"

"The uncles and aunts must be called, as for Mr. Xie, it depends on what the eldest and second young ladies think."

Xie Ying said: "It's just a cancellation of the engagement. It's not a glorious thing. It's just to avoid delaying his studies."

"Look at how hard he's working. It looks like he'll be able to get the top spot in the exam this fall."

Xie Ying said: "It's a good thing that he is working so hard to improve himself."

"That's it, that's all."

Seeing that the two young ladies had stopped arguing, Chujiu said, "Then I will go back to the palace to report."

"Well, please go there."

"Miss, please don't be polite to me. Just thank you, Miss. Everything is fine with the people in the Duke's Mansion. It is my blessing."

This Chujiu's mouth is really good at talking.

Just a few words made Xie Ying feel relieved.

Xie Jiaojiao said: "That's great. From now on, when I go to see His Royal Highness Prince Chen, can I be more open and aboveboard?"

Xie Ying looked at Xie Jiaojiao, "Don't tease me. One day, you will meet someone you like. I'll see what you will do."

Xie Jiaojiao pouted, "That's impossible. I will never get married in my life."

"You don't want to marry?"

"Ah."

"So you want to be an old sister-in-law?"

"I'll be your sister-in-law. At most, you can have two more children and give one to me, or you can have Yun Ce have two more children and give one to me."

Xie Ying chuckled, "I dare not promise you that."

Although having children is still a long way off, who would want to send their children to be raised by others?

Even if she was her own sister, she would not agree.

Day two.

Sure enough, the Qing Mansion sent someone to inform them early in the morning.

Xie Ying hurriedly went to find Xie Zheng and asked Xie Zheng to go and take charge with his fellow uncles and aunts from the clan.

When Xie Zheng received the order and went there, Xie Yunchu had already brought Chujiu back to the Duke's Mansion.

"Brother." Xie Ying stepped forward and bowed, a little nervously, "The Qing Mansion has sent someone to tell them to come at noon."

Xie Yunchu nodded, "That's good." Fortunately, he found out Qing Chang'an's rest time, so he didn't have to delay it.
