Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

Nan's father saw a clue and said sarcastically: "What? You said you wanted to break off the engagement, but you weren't even ready to hand back the token of the engagement?"

"I, I just left it at home. When I go get it, we will break off the engagement immediately." He retorted hard, thinking about how to redeem the jade ring.

The family was originally satisfied with him joining a wealthy family like the Nan family. Even if they are now prosperous and some don't care about the Nan family, they will never agree to break off the engagement.

As for their son's involvement with a woman named Qi Qiqi outside, they didn't care. Men were like this. As long as it didn't endanger their interests, they wouldn't care what Young Master He did.

Of course, they will also keep an eye on Master He and not go too far, in case the Nan family becomes angry and breaks off the engagement.

So Master He often went to find Qi Qiqi without telling his family, and even danced in front of the Nan family.

He originally wanted to break off the engagement first without telling his family and the Nan family, and then he could pursue Qiqi openly.

He is the only son in the family, so even if the family gets angry again, nothing will happen to him.

But the difficulty now is that he has mortgaged the token, and he doesn't have enough money to redeem it. If he asks his family for money, he will definitely be asked what he wants.

Tsk, really, why not just hold off until the family pays him money next month, and then redeem the jade ring.

I happen to still have some money on me, so why not go find Miss Qi and tell her about this great thing.

Master He was thinking about this and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Nan Qian stopped him.

"You know I went to "Bliss" today, right?"

Bliss was the name of that dance hall.

This was not the first time that the original owner would go there to find him. Someone from Master He's side would usually tell him.

From the look on his face, he obviously knew that Nan Qian had been looking for him, but he obviously didn't care.

But it’s just a matter of making trouble again. Anyway, it’s the Nan family’s face that’s being lost.

"Do you know what news I learned when I went to Paradise today?"

Could it be that? He had just mentioned the token thing, and now that he was talking about it again, Master He began to feel a little panicked.

After all, they were not married yet, so the jade ring was not his property. Logically speaking, he had no right to mortgage it.

"...What do you know?" Master He asked, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Nan Qian smiled and looked at him with an inexplicable expression: "Huh? I only went there once and I knew it. Don't you, a regular customer, know it yet? I heard that Ji Le is going to hold a grand thank you party, and then everyone will know it. Dancers or singers will perform.”

Master He's tense heart relaxed.

"Oh...ah, of course I know about this."

He was so nervous that he didn't even notice that this conversation was weird.

"Okay, let's go. Remember to bring that token as soon as possible."

Because of his guilty conscience, he didn't even notice that there was anything wrong with Nan Qianhe.

It wasn't until he quickly walked out of Nan's mansion that he suddenly realized why Nan Qian was so anxious to ask him to bring the token to break off the engagement.

Shouldn't a woman from the old times like her be ashamed to break off the engagement?

Could it be... playing hard to get?

He couldn't help but let out a mocking "Humph".

Shaking his head and striding away, he was now going to Ji Le to confirm that the jade ring finger was intact.

And Nanfu on the other side.

"Qianqian, if you are sad, don't hold on, there are no outsiders at home." Nan's mother was very worried about her child.

She was really sad to see her poor daughter forcing a smile after her engagement was annulled.

In her eyes, her child was the best girl in the world. At that time, she didn't know how many aristocratic families begged to marry her.

But the world has changed so fast, Xiao even she can feel the gap, let alone her shallowness.

"It's okay, mother. I'm really not sad now. I just came back from Paradise." Nan Qian comforted Nan's mother and changed the subject.

"Why did you go to that place because of your surname?" Nan's father continued.

"Yes and no."

Attracting the confused eyes of Father Nan and Mother Nan.

"I went there originally to find Master He, but when I got there I realized that I was out of place compared to the women there."

"Qianqian, there's no need to compare with them, they are all...irregular, it's fine as long as you stay the same." Nan's mother couldn't see her daughter saying this.

"Mom, I understand. The new era is coming, and I think it's time to make changes, but I won't imitate her."

"So I made an okay friend there."

Seeing Nan Qian say this, Nan's mother moved her lips a few times, and finally said: "It's good to make friends...it's good to make friends."

"father."

Nan Qian looked at Nan's father, she wanted to confirm the attitude of the original owner's family.

"I think this new era is a bit bad, do you think I can turn it into a newer era?"

The huge hall fell silent at this time.

Nan Qian looked at Nan's father. His expression changed. Nan Qian knew that Nan's father understood what she meant.

"...You are my daughter. What can't be done successfully? Whatever you want, my family can help you." Nan's father finally said this.

There are not many people left in the Nan family, and there are even fewer people in the collateral lineage. As the head of the family, he is the only one left.

The exchange of the old and new eras brought an almost fatal blow to the aristocratic families. Many aristocratic families have disappeared in that era. If the Nan family can survive, Nan's father will naturally not be a rigid and stubborn person.

He was surprised by what his daughter wanted to do. As a businessman, he was sometimes exposed to many ideas. Among them, the idea of ​​the dancer named Qi Qiqi was the most widely known.

But he thought that was bullshit.

New ideas that appear to be free on the surface contain a core that is even more feudal than the old era.

Are you sure this isn't a fig leaf used by this dancer to cover up her frivolous behavior?

Why do the public admire it so much? Poems, books, etiquette, where are virtues and etiquette placed?

If we talk about freedom, who are those warlords? Humph, just another form of emperor.

Those who preach freedom are now snuggling up to the warlords and telling others that this is freedom.

But there is another idea, which is currently weak and hidden among the crowd.

But Nan's father felt that this was more in line with the "freedom" he wanted in his heart.

If it comes to fruition, it might be a good time.

But what their group of people have to face are the now powerful warlords, which is equivalent to the difficulty of a peasant uprising.

But...if it succeeds, it will be a wonderful era.

The prospects are wonderful, but the process is unimaginable.

Nan's father couldn't help but ask: "Qianqian, aren't you afraid of hard work?"

His daughter is a young lady raised in a boudoir. Is what she wants to do too difficult for such a young lady?

"It's a little scary, but I want to do it."

"Qianqian, don't worry, your father will tell you everything." Although Nan's mother didn't quite understand what they were talking about, she knew that this must be a difficult task.

The original owner's parents really loved her.
