When Xiao Yan was mentioned, Su Qian immediately pictured the man’s domineering figure. She immediately thought of something and lowered her eyes with a smile. “There’s nothing between the Ninth Prince and me. In the future, when I have a stable foothold in the imperial capital, I’ll think of a way to dissolve the engagement.”
“Alright. Since I know your intentions, I know what to do.” Nangong Mufeng had no intention of getting close to the royal family, but with the Ninth Prince slowly gaining popularity. If his niece did not want to marry, he had to find a way to deal with it.
“Then let’s cancel the engagement.” Nangong Lie didn’t think much of it, “Our Qian’er is so good. In the future, she must marry the best man in the world. That man must be wholeheartedly devoted to our Qian’er and must not let her suffer.”
Nangong Lie didn’t say. In fact, among the many princes, he had always valued Xiao Yan the most. He always felt that in the future, his limelight would definitely surpass the other princes.
Xiao Yan was a member of the imperial family, so it was inevitable that he would have three or four wives and concubines. He couldn’t bear to let Su Qian suffer that kind of grievance, so he was happy that Su Qian was unwilling to marry him.
Su Qian smiled but didn’t respond.
In fact, she had no intention of getting married again.
First of all, she didn’t want the two children to be wronged, nor did she want to share a man with other women. Nangong Lie was so devoted, but he only cultivated Nangong Mufeng’s infatuated son. Men like them were too rare, let alone a man who could accept her children.
Therefore, Su Qian had already planned to spend her whole life with her children. After all, she had two of the most obedient and sensible children in the world. Men were not as important as earning money for her children to live a good life.
Next, Su Qian sat down with Nangong Lie and his son and chatted about their family. They talked mostly about the two children.
The family was happy and harmonious. That night, the Nangong family held a grand banquet to welcome Su Qian and the two children home.
Because it was too hasty this time, Nangong Lie and Lady Zhou felt that they couldn’t let Su Qian and the two children be treated unfairly. Therefore, only the people of the Nangong family were invited to attend. In the future, they would hold a banquet and introduce Su Qian and the children to people from other forces.
The pitiful second and third branches of the Nangong Family had just been beaten up during the day. Their injuries had not recovered yet. They were all wrapped in bandages and sat in wheelchairs to attend the family banquet. No one dared to offend Nangong Lie and his precious granddaughter.
Soon, the news of Su Qian’s return to the Nangong family spread through the streets and alleys. However, everyone said that the Nangong family intentionally approached Su Qian. They knew that Su Qian was doted on by the Empress Dowager, so they were in a hurry to acknowledge Su Qian and build a relationship with the royal family.
As for the fact that Nangong Lie was seriously ill and that Su Qian took out a fifth-grade elixir to save him, the commoners just laughed it off. No one took it to heart. They felt that this was just an excuse for the Nangong family to acknowledge Su Qian.
This news also reached the Second Prince’s residence.
The room was a luxurious sight. Xiao Hengjun was lying on the bed, wearing only an inner shirt. His clothes were wide open, and his arms were wrapped around a stunningly beautiful woman in a cool dress. Even his legs were propped up on the kneeling beauty, and there were a group of beautiful maids serving tea beside him.
Xiao Hengjun was living his life so freely. He looked at the steward standing in front of him and narrowed his eyes as he asked, “Did you say that the Nangong family held a banquet for Su Qian? The second and third branches of the Nangong Family have nothing better to do?”
“Reporting to the Second Prince, it wasn’t the Nangong family’s first and second branch, but Nangong Lie who proposed it. I heard that Master Nangong recovered after eating a fifth-grade elixir given by Su Qian.” the steward reported honestly.
“Heh.” Xiao Hengjun laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. “What a joke. There aren’t even a few fifth-grade elixirs in the national treasury. Where did Su Qian get them? I think Nangong Lie is seriously ill. He knows that his days arc numbered and wants to rely on the Empress Dowager’s favor toward Su Qian to make a comeback, right? It’s really ridiculous. It seems that when a person was about to die, they will use any means necessary.”
“Who says otherwise? I don’t believe it either.” The steward quickly agreed.
“However, Su Qian is quite interesting..” Xiao Hengjun recalled Su Qian’s alluring figure at the palace banquet and felt as if a cat had scratched his heart. “Help me change. I’m going to attend the Nangong family’s banquet..”
