The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 345 Agree on the time to cancel the engagement

 When he returned home, Du Wan brought so many beautiful lanterns with him, which was very eye-catching.

 The eldest princess asked someone to come over and ask what was going on.

Du Wan told the truth, and the eldest princess was a little dumbfounded.

 The next day, someone came to the palace.

A palace maid came to the door with ten thousand taels, saying that Qin Yuyu wanted to buy Bu Yao back. She also mentioned that Bu Yao was a gift from the queen and could not be given away casually, etc.

Du Wan didn't care and asked Ningqin to give Bu Yao to the palace maid, "This princess will add another ten thousand to her private treasury."

 “Congratulations, Princess.” Ningqin flattered her.

Du Wand drank the fruit wine seductively, "I used to think that it was difficult to make money, but suddenly I found that it is possible, but it's a bit of a bad character. The most important thing is that this way of making money... cannot be copied."

“…” Ningqin quickly lowered her head and laughed muffledly.

The princess was actually very self-aware when she did something random.

 Normally, noble ladies in the capital would not behave like the princess, who would act mercilessly whenever she thought of something.

Ningqin could imagine that the story of the princess yesterday must have spread throughout the world today.

Unexpectedly, what people are talking about outside is not the princess's deception, but the princess's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, where the stall owners presented beautiful lanterns one after another. Later, some good people went to find out that Prince Pei carefully arranged it before going out to quell the chaos, just to make his fiancée happy.

Du Wan was quiet for a while when he heard this gossip.

 Zhenguogongfu.

Pei Huiyu told Mrs. Pei what happened to Du Wan during the Lantern Festival as a joke, and said that Du Wan must have cheated.

 When I learned the reason today, I was very angry.

 But the money that fell into Du Wan's hands will definitely not be recovered.

Pei Hui said in a tone: "Mother, how can such a woman be worthy of marrying into the Duke's palace? She is greedy for money. You don't know her face yesterday. She actually wanted Bu Yao, the princess' favorite. How shallow-sighted she is. ."

Mrs. Pei said: "Is this serious?"

"Of course it's true. With so many people watching, how can I still lie? The princess also said that she is the only one in the palace who doesn't have to follow the rules, and she also said that she envied her." Pei Huiyu snorted coldly, criticizing Du Wan for nothing. , "Bringing her in will drag us down sooner or later."

Mrs. Pei knew that her daughter had unexpectedly won the favor of the princess, "Did the princess really say that?"

"That's still fake. My mother called off the marriage as early as possible, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause if she delays it any longer. You see, my eldest brother has become a joke in the capital this time because of her."

 “Canceling an engagement is not a trivial matter.” Mrs. Pei thought about it calmly. It was not an easy move. The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is not afraid of the Princess Mansion, but it doesn't want to offend the other party. Furthermore, the marriage was decided by the elders, and the Duke would not agree to break off the engagement. "Have you ever thought about the trouble after breaking off the engagement? Your father will have a hard time with it."

"Hide it from my father first. When the matter is finalized, can my father kill us? As long as it is for the best for my eldest brother, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little injustice."

“…” Pei Huiyu said it sincerely.

  She really thinks so, that’s why it’s scary and very convincing.

Mrs. Pei thought for a long time and said, "The Princess Mansion may not agree to cancel the engagement."

“Didn’t Du Wan promise that he would agree?”

"Probably out of anger, she accepted your eldest brother's lantern during the Lantern Festival." Mrs. Pei didn't believe that Du Wan had no feelings for her son. Accepting the lantern was the best proof.

Pei Huiyu said: "Find an opportunity to explore her voice, and then make an appointment to come to her home to cancel the engagement."

"Can."

 Mrs. Pei is determined.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and it is not a problem to delay it any longer.

 So that afternoon, Du Wan received an appointment from Pei Huiyu. Du Wan didn't want to pay attention to it, but finally saw that she was serious about it and went out to keep the appointment.

The meeting place was a teahouse near the Princess Mansion. Du Wan climbed over the wall and walked for a while to get there.

Du Wan stepped into the box and saw Pei Huiyu alone.

Pei Huiyu's attitude was average. When she saw Du Wan, she said directly: "Last time you said you were going to cancel the engagement, did you really mean it? Don't let us come to cancel the engagement then, and the princess palace will find excuses to delay it."

Du Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you sure you want to come to cancel the engagement?"

"Of course, you won't regret it, right?" Pei Huiyu asked disdainfully.

Du Wan sneered, "No."

Pei Huiyu said: "My mother will visit the princess mansion tomorrow. I hope you will do what you say and don't be shameless and pester my elder brother again."

"Don't worry. Pei Hao has an uneducated and stupid sister like you. No girl with normal outlook will marry him." Even though Du Wan has been amazed by Pei Hao's appearance more than once, she still has no idea of ​​getting married. , "You can ask Mrs. Pei to come to your door tomorrow."

 “Then it’s settled.”

As long as Du Wan agrees to break off the engagement, Pei Huiyu doesn't mind being scolded.

Du Wan turned around and left, and Pei Huiyu also hurried back home.

He agreed happily. Du Wan, who returned to the princess's mansion, had a bit of a headache and wandered around the main courtyard. Considering the eldest princess's pregnancy, she didn't dare to go in and talk for fear of irritating her.

Du Wan did not go in in the end, but turned around and left the house to go to the Hubu Yamen.

When he arrived at the Hubu Yamen, the office dedicated to the Minister, Du Wan did not see his father. Instead, he saw Su Che copying something, and there was a boy beside him who was sorting out the account books.

As soon as Su Che and the boy saw Du Wan, they quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

Du Wan picked up the princess's shelf, walked around the table, and glanced at the account books on the table, "Where is my father? Why are you the only ones here?"

Su Che lowered his head and said, "Master Shangshu has entered the palace."

 “Have you said when it will be released?”

“I haven’t told you yet.” Su Che replied truthfully.

Du Wan didn't ask any more questions and sat aside to wait, telling Su Che to ignore her.

Su Che hesitated a little, but continued busy with the matter at hand.

The boy went to bring Du Wan a cup of hot tea, then stepped aside and continued working.

Du Wan saw that the two of them were quite busy. This was still Du's consort's work. Is being a minister so busy? Du Wan, who was sitting aside, looked from time to time at Su Che, who was sitting in front of the desk and writing furiously.

 A truly powerful person can still get up even if he falls. And some people fall but never stand up again, which only shows that they are not strong enough.

Su Che's hand holding the pen suddenly shook and he made a mistake.

 He raised his eyes and met Du Wan's calm gaze, "Princess."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Du Wan picked up the tea and took a sip, looking like she didn't know what he wanted to ask.

What Su Che wanted to say suddenly couldn't be said. Do you want him to ask her not to look at it again?

 Her gaze was nothing, but he was under a lot of pressure.

At this time, familiar footsteps came from outside, and Su Che's heart dropped instantly. He quickly put down his pen, stood up respectfully, and quickly packed away the account books on his desk.

Someone stepped in, it was Prince Consort Du who came out of the palace.
