Chapter Ninety-eight(1/2)
After finishing dinner without knowing how to eat, Zhao Keren returned to her room. She still doesn't know that her parents are trying to help her solve the issue of the engagement that worries her the most! What if?
If he knew, maybe he wouldn't be so upset.
As soon as the door was closed, Zhao Keren's expression completely changed. The smile that had been on her face just now was replaced by a haze. Zhao Keren wanted to throw something to vent her frustration, but she still
He tried very hard to restrain himself, because after all, this was not the Taishi Mansion, but the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. It would be bad if someone caught him by his pigtails here. Therefore, Zhao Keren could only live like this.
Sulking.
Seeing that Zhao Keren seemed to be in a very bad mood, Xianyun and Xianluo who were waiting on the side were both guessing the reason for Zhao Keren's bad mood, but there was really no communication between the two people. In fact, since Xian Lu
After Luo Luo came back this time, the two of them had slowly become estranged. You know, since Xian Luo came back, Zhao Keren has become more and more indifferent to Xian Yun. If anything happens, they are just talking to Xian Luo.
So Xianyun's rejection of Xianluo is certain. And what about Xianluo? She has always looked down on Xianyun's timid personality, especially the matter of choosing between the Crown Prince and Prince Lin.
Above, she even felt that Xianyun was unlikely to achieve anything big, so she also looked down upon Xianyun.
However, although the two of them are very at odds now, they are just competing secretly, and they still seem to be very harmonious. In this way, the two personal maids around Zhao Keren have always been at odds with each other.
They got along well together. Even now, when Zhao Keren is in a very bad mood, the two of them still refuse to unite and work together to share Zhao Keren's worries and solve problems. Instead, they go their own ways.
Xianluo is worthy of being a thoughtful person. She quickly figured out the reason why Zhao Keren was upset and said, "Miss, are you still thinking about your wife's mention of your marriage during dinner just now?"
After hearing Xianluo's words, Zhao Keren's face became even more melancholy, and he slowly said, "Xianluo, you know me best. Now whenever I think about my marriage, I feel troubled.
.”
After hearing Zhao Keren's praise, Xianluo glanced at Xianyun very proudly. Xianyun suddenly felt furious. After thinking about it, he said, "Miss, are you doing this because of His Highness's affairs?"
Does this exclude your engagement?"
Zhao Keren sighed, "Yes, the prince has already confessed his love to me. You have to know that if I really marry Lin Xiran, then at most in the future, I will be just a prince's wife. But if I marry
If I give it to the crown prince, then I will be the crown prince, and I will most likely be the empress of the world in the future."
After hearing Zhao Keren's answer, Xianyun was shocked, because she didn't fully understand what Zhao Keren said, especially when she heard that the prince had confessed to the young lady.
However, she secretly glanced at Xianluo, and there was no expression of surprise on Xianluo's face, which meant that Xianluo already knew about this matter.
Thinking of this possibility, Xianyun felt extremely bitter in his heart. He and Xianluo were both Miss's personal maids, and they both grew up together. However, since Xianluo came back this time, Miss Xianluo has obviously been leaning towards Xianluo.
Now, this situation makes me anxious and sad at the same time.
"Miss, I think the most important thing for us right now is to find a way to resolve this engagement." Xianluo said at the side, "You know, the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for you, miss."
After hearing Xianluo's words, Zhao Keren frowned, "How do you say this?"
"Miss, think about it!" Xianluo began to analyze, "We all know very well how high the prince's status is, so you must have thought about how many beauties there are around him. You must have thought about it before.
Didn't Miss Yimiao warn you just for the sake of the prince? You have to know that no matter how much you like someone, if you can't get him, the passion in your heart will gradually fade away. "
After hearing Xianluo's analysis, Zhao Keren thought for a while and said, "You mean, if I never agree to the prince's promise, the prince may marry someone else, right?"
Xianluo nodded, "Miss, you have to know that the prince is not young anymore, so it's time to choose a concubine! Think about it, you are engaged now, if the prince really chooses a concubine
, you are absolutely unqualified. Even if the prince really likes you, what about the emperor and the queen? How could they agree? So, miss, your top priority now is to find a way to terminate the engagement as soon as possible. "
After hearing Xianluo's words, Zhao Keren became even more irritable, "I also want to cancel the engagement! But, do I have a way? If it was really that easy to cancel the engagement, I wouldn't do it now
So upset."
Xianyun, who had been watching from the side but could not say a word, was very anxious. If, if this really continued, he would really have no status in front of the lady. Before, he had always been
I was making plans for the young lady, but the young lady became more and more indifferent to me, and instead trusted me more and more. It seems that I have to change something!
Thinking of this, Xianyun secretly made a decision in her heart. She must regain the trust of the young lady. So what she has to do now is to find ways and make suggestions to help the young lady handle her affairs. Only in this way can she
Regain the importance of the lady.
Thinking of this, Xianyun said, "Miss, do you really want to terminate this engagement? If it is true, then I have an idea."
If it was in the past that Xianyun had been planning for Zhao Keren, then what Xianyun is doing now is just to consolidate her position next to Zhao Keren. What she is doing now is just catering to Zhao Keren
She is just a pleasant person, and she is definitely not planning for Zhao Keren. In fact, speaking of it, Zhao Keren is really quite pathetic. Xianyun, who has been planning for her by her side, has been forced by her to just go along with it.
, I have long forgotten my original intention.
When Xianyun said this, both Zhao Keren and Xianluo were very surprised, because Xianyun had always been very opposed to Zhao Keren's termination of the engagement, but unexpectedly, now Xianluo actually said that he would help find a way to terminate the engagement.
engagement.
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren was shocked and asked, "Xianyun, haven't you always been opposed to my dissolution of my marriage to the Zhongyi Marquis? Why do you now say that you can help me cancel my engagement?
?”
After hearing Zhao Keren's question, Xianyun smiled and said, "Miss, I was too conservative before, and the prince's attitude was not clear at that time. That's why I always advised you not to act rashly. But, you
As I said just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has confessed his love to you. If I still advise you to keep your engagement at this time, wouldn't it be hindering your future, Miss? My slave is devoted to Miss, so how can I hinder it?
Where is your future, miss?"
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren nodded with great satisfaction, "Xianyun, that's great if you can figure it out. In fact, I didn't mean to neglect you in the past few days, but,
You must also know that under the circumstances, the prince was showing kindness to me, but you kept objecting. I was really upset, so I ignored you."
After hearing Zhao Keren's words, Xianyun nodded, "Miss, you don't need to say anything, all slaves understand."
After Zhao Keren smiled, he couldn't help but ask, "Xianyun, you just said that you have a way to help me resolve this engagement, right? Tell me quickly."
Seeing Zhao Keren's anxious look, Xianyun stopped procrastinating and said, "Miss, you have to know that if this engagement is to be terminated, it will definitely not be easy. We have to take the initiative to terminate the engagement, but
We can’t break off the engagement rashly.”
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren frowned and asked, "What do you mean-"
Xianyun smiled and continued, "Young lady, you have to take the initiative to break off the engagement, so that you can keep your reputation. However, if you really want to break off the engagement, you have to have a name, such as what mistakes Prince Lin made, etc."
Only in this way, Miss, can you legitimately terminate the engagement."
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren nodded in agreement, "Actually, I have already thought about what you said, but how can I find Lin Xiran's fault?"
"Miss, you can't handle this matter alone." Xianyun said, "So, miss, you have to find someone to help?"
"Looking for help?" Zhao Keren was very confused, "Who can I ask for help? You know, I want to terminate the engagement now! How can I tell others such a thing?"
After hearing what Zhao Keren said, Xianyun shook his head, "No, miss, there is still someone who will definitely help you. As long as you tell her everything, she will definitely help you."
"Who is it?" Zhao Keren asked quickly, "Tell me quickly, who are you talking about? Tell me exactly."
"It's Madam." Xianyun then said, "Miss, you can go to Madam, and Madam will definitely help you. You know, Madam wants you to have a good home more than anyone else, so as long as you take care of this matter
If you tell her, of course, you must also tell her what the prince has confessed to you. Only in this way will the lady help you."
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren frowned, "But if you want me to tell my mother about this, will she scold me if she doesn't agree?"
Seeing Zhao Keren's hesitation, Xianyun smiled mysteriously, "Miss, as long as you tell Madam what Miss Yimiao has threatened you with more jealousy, she will definitely agree to help."
After finishing the meal, Zhao Keren's eyes lit up. "You mean--"
Xianyun nodded, "Madam and uncle have always been at odds with each other. We are all very clear about it. If we know that Miss Yimiao likes the prince, and the prince also likes you, and Yimiao
If my cousin threatens you for this, Madam will definitely help."
After listening to Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren's frown finally relaxed and he praised, "Xianyun, I didn't expect you to be quite smart and analyze problems very thoroughly. If only you could do this well before."
If you help me make suggestions, I won't neglect you."
After hearing Zhao Keren's praise, Xianyun looked at Xianluo who had been silent at the side intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes full of provocation.
Naturally, Xianluo did not miss Xianyun's look. She would never allow Xianyun to dominate alone. Thinking of this, Xianluo smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "Miss, since this matter has been decided,
Then should we go find Madam as soon as possible?"
Just as Zhao Keren was about to nod, Xianyun spoke, "Miss, I think we should wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival and return to the Grand Master's Mansion before we go find Madam."
After hearing Xianyun's words, Zhao Keren frowned and was very puzzled, "Isn't it better to do this as soon as possible? Why do we have to delay it until after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Miss, think about it!" Xianyun said, "Now we are in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the people here are not ours. If what we told Madam spreads, then for you, Miss,
What a disadvantage! Especially if the prince's confession to you, young lady, is really known to outsiders, the lady's reputation will be ruined. Then, even if the prince likes you again, he will never admit it.
.If he admits it, wouldn’t he become an unkind and unjust person?”
After hearing Xianyun's analysis, Zhao Keren nodded in agreement, "Xianyun is right. It seems that this matter really cannot be rushed! We still have to wait until we return to the Taishi Mansion.
Tell your mother again, this is better."
After seeing all this, Xianluo on the side felt itchy with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Zhao Keren suddenly took the hands of Xianyun and Xianluo and put them together, "Xianyun, Xianluo, you are both my personal maids, and you have grown up with me since childhood.
I have never treated you as outsiders. Even Xianyun has figured it out now, so that's the best. From now on, you two must have a good discussion and solve my problems together, do you understand?
"
Xianyun and Xianluo looked at each other, and both saw dissatisfaction and rejection in each other's eyes, but their faces were still full of smiles, and they replied in unison, "I know this, and I will definitely cooperate well in the future.
Let’s help the lady solve her problems together.”
Xianyun and Xianluo thought that they had hidden their dissatisfaction with each other very well, but what they didn't know was that Zhao Keren had already seen the rejection and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
However, Zhao Keren remained calm about his discovery, and still looked at them with a smile, as if he did not notice the discord between them at all.
In fact, Zhao Keren naturally knew about the discord between Xianyun and Xianluo. She was not an idiot. She had already discovered such an obvious situation, but she still allowed it to continue.
To be continued...
