Chapter 1822: Was Just Working for a Living
Ying Su took a sip of tea and said unhesitatingly, “Just tell them that I’m not coming.”
“Miss…” Zhi Tao still wanted to try and persuade her. If she let the miss be like this, she’ll be reprimanded by Madam again and won’t be able to leave this courtyard in her lifetime.
She didn’t want to serve the fourth miss, who was always getting violent and breaking people’s wrists.
What disloyalty and unrighteousness? She was just working for a living.
With this thought in mind, Zhi Tao did not bother with Ying Su any longer. She left the room and went to report to the madam. Not long after, Zhi Tao ran back to Ying Su and anxiously said, “Miss, if you do not go over, the general will be angry and Feng Residence would be censured by the Emperor for neglecting the imperial family.”
Ying Su remained expressionless. “What does that have to do with me? Since he is looking for me, let them come to this courtyard, or is this courtyard too shabby for people to see? “
Zhi Tao was stunned and looked at Ying Su incredulously. “Miss, they are men, how can they enter the inner courtyard?”
Ying Su snorted. “I don’t want to go and they can’t come, so it’s too bad.”
Zhi Tao shook her head and left. She didn’t want to serve the fourth miss anymore. From the start, the fourth miss had a quiet personality, so among the misses of Feng Residence, she was non-existent. There was no future in following such a master, and besides, she could sense that the master didn’t like her.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but ask, “Why won’t you go?” Was it really okay to act this aloof?
Ying Su’s expression was cold. “Why should I go? I’m not someone who can be beckoned so easily.”
Ning Shu: ……
It didn’t take long for footsteps to sound outside the house. Soon after, people walked in.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man, with a long beard, thick eyebrows over big eyes and a sturdy build.
Next followed a young man dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a jade crown. He had beautiful looks with grand bearing, giving off the air of imperial reserve and nobility.
At this moment, he was surveying his surroundings and frowning.
Ying Su saw Feng Chang and the second highness and couldn’t help but sneer, “It is truly an honor for this shabby courtyard of mine that it could welcome two distinguished guests.”
Ying Su’s words were full of sarcasm.
Feng Chang couldn’t help but glare. “What were you doing? Why didn’t you go to the front room when you were told to?”
Feng Chang’s voice was loud. “Look at yourself! And His Highness is still waiting for you.”
Feng Chang scolded Ying Su.
“Pei Lan, go and pour some tea for the honored guest,” Ying Su instructed Pei Lan. “Sorry, I don’t have any good tea in my courtyard.”
The second prince frowned and said, “No need to prepare tea, General Feng. This time I came to say that I want to break off the engagement with the fourth miss.”
“Why? This marriage contract was decreed by His Majesty, how can Your Highness withdraw from the marriage just like this? Does His Majesty know about this?” Feng Chang asked in a loud voice, shaking his head. “Your Highness, you can’t break off the marriage contract in such a hasty manner.”
The second prince couldn’t help but say, “General Feng, Fourth Miss and I are really mismatched, such a marriage is too absurd.” He really didn’t like Feng Qingqian.
Ying Su gave a sneer, “Break off the engagement?”
He was simply despicable.
Ying Su stood up, looking very stern. “You don’t like me so you want to withdraw from the marriage. How can I let that happen? I don’t like you anymore so even if you want to withdraw from the marriage, it should be me who breaks off the engagement.”
“Second Prince, I, Feng Qingqian, break off all ties with you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
Ying Su slightly raised her head, proud as a phoenix soaring in the nine heavens, brilliant and eye-catching, bright and beautiful. There was no trace of the previous cowardice and inferiority complex between her eyebrows.
The second prince froze and looked at Ying Su, then realized that this woman Feng Qingqian actually wanted to break off her engagement with him. A ‘woman’ wanted to break off all ties with him?
