Chapter 218 Even if the King of Heaven Comes, He Will Cancel the Engagement

Originally, Ling Chu was worried that Guo Rong would not want to marry Zhao Jingming again after seeing such a disgusting scene.

Unexpectedly, she underestimated the appeal of the position of the Crown Prince's Consort of Zhao Guogong.

She was quite satisfied with this result, "Congratulations to Miss Guo for finding her ideal husband, and congratulations to Mrs. Wu for finding a good son-in-law."

Suddenly, Zhao Jingming heard a voice from behind, his expression froze, and he turned around with a gloomy face.

"Why are you here?"

Ling Chu glanced at him.

Is there any need to ask this?

Of course, I came here to expose your scandal!

"Mr. Zhao, since you and Miss Guo have already made a private commitment, I can't stop you. However, let's cancel our engagement first, so that Miss Guo's belly won't be able to wait.

It's better to do it today than to choose a day. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Zhao, I will ask my parents to come to cancel the engagement when I return home."

For some reason, seeing that Ling Chu had no nostalgia for this marriage, Zhao Jingming felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing him frowning and not speaking, Guo Rong was unhappy.

She first puffed out her belly, then pulled Zhao Jingming's sleeve and shook it, and called out in a tender voice, "Cousin."

Wu glanced at Zhao Jingming and deliberately said to Ling Chu, "Although Miss Ling and Jingming are not in name only, there is no need to be sad.

Without the marriage with the Duke Zhao's Mansion, there may be a better marriage waiting for you.

Isn't it, Jingming?"

Zhao Jingming knew that Wu's last question was deliberately asking him to warn him.

In order to appease Wu and Guo Rong, Zhao Jingming could only nod, "Since Miss Ling wants to cancel the engagement today, I also have this intention."

Hearing Zhao Jingming's words, Ling Chu's eyes were full of light and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Jingming was dazzled by the smile on her face and suddenly felt a little dazzling.

Originally, after learning that he had an engagement with the Ling Mansion, Zhao Jingming had always resisted this marriage.

When he learned that his fiancée had been fostered in a Taoist temple since childhood, he disliked her even more.

What's more, the Ling Mansion had already fallen. If he married a girl from the Ling Mansion, it would not only not help his career in the future, but would even hinder him.

Zhao Jingming had always hoped to cancel such a marriage as soon as possible.

However, he never thought that Ling Chu was more eager to cancel the marriage than he was.

He wanted to cancel the engagement, but she was not sad at all, but was full of joy.

She didn't feel reluctant at all.

It seemed that abandoning him was a great joy.

But why should she do that!

The Ling Mansion had already fallen, but it was just a commoner.

And his Zhaoguogong Mansion was still a famous noble in Kyoto, and Zhao Jingming's talent and appearance were also among the best in the capital. Now he was the prince of Zhaoguogong Mansion, and he would still be the Duke in the future.

Why should she abandon such an outstanding fiancé like him?

If she canceled his marriage, with the current status of the Ling family, it would be impossible to find a better marriage than him.

She shouldn't have reacted like this.

In his imagination, if he wanted to cancel the engagement, she should be like those infatuated women, extremely reluctant to let him go, crying and begging, and doing everything she could to keep him.

She might even cry, make a scene, and hang herself to force him not to abandon her.

Zhao Jingming originally wanted to cancel the engagement, but thinking of the happy smile on Ling Chu's face, he couldn't help but want to ruin it.

Ling Chu had no idea what Zhao Jingming was thinking, and she was already rushing home with her maid.

No matter what, she would cancel the engagement this time.

Seeing that Zhao Jingming and Ling Chu were both going to cancel the engagement, Guo Rong was full of pride, and she was finally going to be the prince's consort.

Wu was also very satisfied, and she had already started thinking in her heart that after Zhao Jingming canceled the engagement, she would immediately discuss the marriage with the wife of Duke Zhao.

Without the engagement from the Ling Mansion, what excuses can her sister-in-law use to refuse the marriage?

Although Zhao Jingming could see what Wu and Guo Rong were thinking at a glance, he did not say anything about it, but pretended to be casual and said, "By the way, aunt, why are you and Rongrong here?"

Wu was worried that her daughter would say that they came to catch him cheating, so she hurriedly said, "I heard that Rongrong's father got drunk and broke into someone else's house. He was unwilling to leave and insisted that it was his home.

I was worried that he would be beaten, so I hurriedly brought people here. I didn't expect that the messenger was lying. I don't know what he was thinking."

Although Zhao Jingming could see that Wu was not telling the truth, he did not continue to ask. He just planned to avoid her and ask Guo Rong later.

He always felt that it was definitely not accidental that Wu and Guo Rong could discover his secret.

And the appearance of Ling Chu here was also very strange.

Thinking of what he heard about her a few days ago, Zhao Jingming suddenly became gloomy.

He intuitively felt that what happened today might be related to her.

Could it be that she knew his secret and wanted to use it as an excuse to force him to break off the engagement?

Was she so eager to draw a line with him?

Guo Rong was going to marry Zhao Jingming. Wu didn't want today's incident to spread, so as not to ruin the reputation of her daughter and son-in-law. She was telling the maids and old women she brought with her not to spread Zhao Jingming's secret.

However, although Wu could shut up the servants of the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion, she couldn't control the people outside who were watching the fun.

At this time, she regretted deliberately letting people outside come to watch the fun in order to ruin the reputation of the Wen'an County Master.

But regretting was useless. Although they were civilians, there were too many people, and she couldn't silence them all.

Guo Rong saw that Zhao Jingming seemed unhappy since Ling Chu left.

Pursing her lips, she deliberately leaned closer to Zhao Jingming, put her head on his shoulder, and rubbed his arm. When he came back to his senses and looked over, he said softly, "Cousin, I'm tired, let's go back."

Smelling the fragrance of Guo Rong, Zhao Jingming came to his senses, nodded, and helped her out.

After Ling Chu returned home, he did not go back to his courtyard, but went to the main hall.

Just as the meal was being prepared, the flower hall was full of people.

From Mrs. Ling Shangshu to the aunts of each room, as well as the younger generation, no one is left behind, they are all there.

After Ling Chu greeted the two people above him, he didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.

"Grandpa, grandma, I want to break off the engagement..."

Madam Tai frowned, but before she could speak, Mrs. Dong slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Sister Chu, do you still see me as a mother in your eyes? I have told you time and time again that an engagement is not a child's play and that we cannot break it off again, but you have disobeyed me again and again. Are you determined to make me angry to death? You are willing to be a mother, right?”

Seeing Mrs. Dong getting angry, the second and third ladies learned the lesson from before. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were full of gloating.

Ling Chu was unmoved by Dong's anger. Today, even if the King of Heaven comes, she will break off the engagement.
