Early in the morning, Wang Yirong washed up as usual and prepared to go to tend to the sick, but a servant was waiting for her at the gate of the yard.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yirong asked.

The servant handed some boxes and packages to Wang Yirong, "Second Miss, the young master of the Zhao family heard that the master was ill, so he sent someone to deliver some things to you."

Wang Yirong frowned as she looked at the thing in the servant's hand. She opened a box and saw a ginseng as thick as two fingers inside.

Wang Yirong didn't look at the rest. She closed the box and said calmly, "Send the things back to Mr. Zhao and tell him that my father is much better now and I thank him for his concern."

Wang Qing's injury and current condition have not been disclosed to the public.

The servant was not clear about the situation, but he knew that Wang Yirong and Zhao Xingzhou were still engaged. He didn't know why Wang Yirong didn't accept it, so he left with curiosity.

"Don't you like Mr. Zhao?" Dian's voice came from behind the rockery.

When Wang Yirong looked up, she saw that Dian was wearing a green long coat with peony patterns on it and trimmed with white fur, and on her head were several peony gold hairpins and peacock hairpins.

He walked towards us leisurely, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, supported by a nanny.

Wang Yirong bowed and said, "Greetings to the Madam. Mr. Zhao doesn't like me. He sent me gifts just to get closer to my father. Now that our family is in this state, we can't help him. In the future... I don't know if I can repay him."

"I don't want to rely on his in-laws to take his things and then be unable to hold my head up in his house in the future."

"What if you don't marry him?" Dian raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a warm smile, "You don't have to serve the master in person today, change your clothes and jewelry, and follow me. You will be rich and prosperous in the future, and you will have endless dreams."

After saying this, he winked at the nanny beside him, and the nanny handed the bag in her hand to Wang Yirong.

Wang Yirong's heart tightened and she did not take the bag that the nanny handed over to her.

She raised her eyes to look at Dian and asked, "Madam, what does this mean?"

The entire mansion was ruled by the Dian family. Wang Yirong, a concubine's daughter, did not dare to disobey her. She did not beat around the bush and said, "I have an appointment with King Jing to meet at Zuixianju today. Now someone is seeking revenge, and only he can protect your father. Are you willing to serve King Jing?"

"His Royal Highness King Jing!"

Wang Yirong's heart was in her throat.

In the past, Wang Qing and Dian also wanted to give her to a rich and powerful man, but they did not force her and only let her seduce.

Today I actually want to give him directly to King Jing.

She deliberately went to provoke Dian last night, just hoping that she would do something to reveal her true colors, so that she could be executed by the emperor along with her father in the future.

Unexpectedly, Dian's method was to use her to bribe King Jing.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, lowered her head and said, "But, if I do this, my sister..."

The person Wang Jingshu likes is Prince Jing. If she knew that her sister had entered Prince Jing's mansion in her place, she would not be able to survive under the current circumstances.

Dian stared at her straightly, with a heavy look of oppression, and said: "When you are taken into the palace by King Jing, Shu'er will visit you often, don't worry."

Wang Yirong was speechless for a moment.

It seems that King Jing has made his decision today, and for the rest, we can only take one step at a time.

She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Thank you, Madam, for finding a good match for me. However, I still have an engagement with the Zhao family. If I enter the Jingwang Mansion at this time, I'm afraid it will affect Madam and my father's reputation."

Dian sneered, her ageless face full of contempt, "He is just a businessman, just quit. I have already sent the marriage certificate, engagement letter and engagement token. From now on, he has nothing to do with you anymore."

Wang Yirong nodded respectfully: "Thank you, Madam. Rong'er will no longer have to worry about anything. Everything is up to you, Madam."

The maid took the package from the nanny and went into the house with Wang Yirong to help her wash and dress up.

Back in the room, Wang Yirong loosened her clenched hands, revealing a mark of pinching by her fingernails on her palms.

She seemed unaware and said to the maid, "Xi Que, help me dress and change my clothes."

Xi Que frowned and looked at Wang Yirong, moved his mouth but said nothing, and began to change her clothes and do her makeup.

Zhao Xingzhou rushed back home as fast as he could and saw his father, mother, aunts, grandparents and all waiting for him in the living room.

There was also an unfamiliar woman sitting in the guest seat.

"Father, what is this?"

Father Zhao looked at him and said with an unhappy face: "Miss Wang sent someone to cancel the engagement. The marriage certificate, engagement letter and token of trust have all been delivered. I sent someone to call you back just to let you know."

Zhao Xingzhou paused and stood there motionless, "Father, what did you say?"

Father Zhao frowned and asked coldly: "Did you do something to upset Miss Wang? How could you be so ignorant and ignore the family!"

If it were in the past, he would have argued with this series of questions even if he had a mild temper.

At this moment, he didn't want to say a word.

He had a sense of unreality, as if he were in a dream.

His head and feet felt light, but his hands were extremely heavy and he couldn't lift them to take the things sent by the Wang family.

When Zhao's father saw that he didn't answer, he became even more furious: "Speak up, my rebellious son! What did you do to make Lord Wang, Madam Wang, and Miss Wang so angry that they want to return your marriage certificate!"

Zhao Xingzhou looked pale and said nothing.

"Master, the young master really didn't do anything! You can't wrongly accuse him."

Zhao Cai defended Zhao Xingzhou, "The young master heard that Lord Wang was ill, so he picked out the best ginseng, deer antlers, bird's nests and other valuable supplements and sent them to Lord Wang's house early this morning!"

Zhao Xingzhou moved his body to the table and finally saw clearly that on it were the marriage invitation, marriage certificate, and engagement token.

"Master Zhao," the maid sent by the Wang family smiled, "Originally, the master, the mistress, and the second young lady should have come in person to cancel the engagement, but the master is ill and cannot come, so they sent me here."

"I don't blame you for cancelling the engagement. In fact, the young lady has been begging the master and the mistress that her husband must be a dragon among men. The master is still ill, so he can't bear the second young lady's pleading, so he sent me here to exchange for the two marriage certificates."

At this point, she paused, "Actually, this can't be blamed on the Second Miss. The people she has been in contact with are either rich or noble. Although the Zhao family is already a wealthy family in the capital, there is still a difference between them and the powerful. Mr. Zhao, please return the betrothal gift and other things, so that the two families can be respectful!"

"You! You!" Father Zhao's face turned red with anger because of his words. He covered his chest and couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao and several concubines hurried forward to pat his chest, scolding him as they patted:

"Even if you are from Lord Wang's house, you can't humiliate me like this! My Zhao family is extremely wealthy, but we don't have to have your daughter!"

"It is! It is!"

These words directly nailed the Zhao family to the pillar of shame.

They have only sent a nanny. If the Zhao family still doesn’t let go of this humiliation, then they are greedy for power and wealth and want to marry up to the Minister!

No wonder!

Everything he sent was returned!

So that’s it!

It was a pity that he looked down on Wang Yirong before, but in the end, it was others who looked down on him as a mere businessman.

"Haha!" Zhao Xingzhou laughed at himself, his face pale.

Zhao Xingzhou knelt down with a plop: "Father, Mother, give her to her! We are marrying above our station!"

The old woman from the Wang family chuckled: "Young Master Zhao is very sensible! There will definitely be a better match in the future!"

Mother Zhao glared at her and winked at the nanny beside her. The nanny immediately followed her advice and went to take out the engagement certificate and other necessary items.

The old woman from the Wang family happily took the things and left leisurely.

Mr. Zhao looked at the old woman's back, and his blood surged up and he fainted instantly!
