Chapter 1316: Why Do You Want to Break Off the Engagement?
Before leaving the Jiang Mansion, Bai Zhi’er said to Jiang Ying, "Sister Jiang Ying, if you have free time, you should go see my little uncle."
"To prevent him from talking nonsense and making my father angry again, and ending up getting beaten."
Jiang Ying paused.
Then she thought, that fool Prince Qing is probably still in the dark, thinking she’s two-timing!
Jiang Ying quickly nodded, "I’m going to the Prince Qing Mansion right away."
Some matters need to be explained face-to-face.
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly with relief.
Then she left with Feng Fuce.
Jiang Ying rode a carriage to the Prince Qing Mansion.
Just as she arrived outside the mansion, the sharp-eyed gatekeeper saw Jiang Ying’s figure.
He ran into the mansion as if his legs were on fire.
"Prince, Prince, Miss Jiang has finally arrived!"
At this time, Prince Qing was reclining on a chaise lounge, with a book covering his face, basking listlessly in the sun.
The servant beside him was boiling tea by the stove.
But upon hearing the gatekeeper’s announcement, Prince Qing sat up with a start, almost kicking over the kettle on the stove!
"Why is she here? Did she come alone? Without that cousin?"
The gatekeeper nodded affirmatively, "No, she didn’t bring him!"
Prince Qing immediately picked up the book, "Quick, pour me some tea."
He had to put on a nonchalant appearance to show her how relaxed he was.
After the servant poured the tea, he couldn’t help but remind, "Prince, your book is upside down."
Only then did Prince Qing hurriedly turn the book right side up.
Just at this moment, Jiang Ying was led by the housekeeper into the main courtyard.
Prince Qing glanced at her with a cold expression, "I’m very busy, I don’t have time to listen to you."
Jiang Ying pursed her lips, "It’s something important, I know you saw me stopping Song Yucheng at the dock."
Prince Qing put down the book, slightly raising an eyebrow, "So you’re here to explain?"
Jiang Ying fell silent for a moment, "Yes, and no."
"I’m here to discuss with the Prince about breaking off the engagement."
The servants around them: !!
Prince Qing: ...
He had initially been happy to see Jiang Ying taking the initiative to come.
But when he heard her words, the joy in his eyes vanished instantly.
The housekeeper hurriedly led the idle people around them to leave.
Prince Qing spoke coldly, "Why do you want to break off the engagement? To marry your cousin Song Yucheng?"
Jiang Ying rubbed her brow, "I don’t like Song Yucheng, and he’s not my cousin."
Prince Qing, extremely angry, crossed his arms with a sneer, "Do you think I’m a fool? If you’re making excuses, choose a better one!"
Jiang Ying spoke helplessly, "I’m not making excuses, he’s not my cousin because I’m not Jiang Ying."
Prince Qing frowned, looking at her suspiciously.
Jiang Ying said, "I knew these words might be hard for you to believe, so I didn’t say anything before."
"But now that the matter is resolved, I feel it’s necessary to tell you."
"I’m not Jiang Ying, I’m Jiang Ying’er, from a thousand years in the future. That’s right, I don’t belong to this place."
Prince Qing fell silent.
After a pause, he said, "If you want to break off the engagement, say the reason directly, but don’t lie."
Jiang Ying was almost fainting from anger.
"I’m not lying! Zhi’er can testify for me on this matter."
She explained the whole situation, including why she was torn between Song Yucheng.
It’s because she’s not Jiang Ying, so naturally, she couldn’t sever Jiang Ying’s ties!
How did she have the right to replace Jiang Ying in telling Song Yucheng she didn’t like him?
After hearing everything, Prince Qing, though still shocked and silent, clearly showed belief in his eyes.
