After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"I wish to marry Wanwan, and I hope your Majesty will approve it."

Song Qiyan knelt down before the emperor.

Everyone's eyes fell on the emperor's face.

I saw a hint of anger on Song Chengzhong's face.

"Yan'er, what on earth is going on?!"

"Father, I have never let Miss Jiang down. This is just a misunderstanding."

As he spoke, Song Qi Yan waved his hand and called Qing Luan in.

"This woman is a refugee I rescued earlier. She stayed with me and worked for me. She has been with me these days because of some things she has to deal with. I think Miss Jiang made such a fuss because of a misunderstanding. I hope that father will forgive her."

After saying this, Song Qi Yan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wanyu with the corner of his eyes, causing Jiang Wanyu's heart to tremble.

Misunderstanding?! Wasn't my second brother certain that the woman had an affair with Song Qiyan? How could it be just a misunderstanding?

Sure enough, this matter cannot be left to my second brother to handle...

Jiang Wanyu felt a little embarrassed, and her heart trembled when she came to her senses.

Then I'm doomed?!

Jiang Wanyu looked at Song Qiyan's eyes and for the first time truly felt the feeling of being controlled by a wolf. Those eyes seemed to want to devour her.

She didn't dare to think about how she would face the gaze of these eyes in the future.

"Your Majesty, I was an orphan when I was young. The prince took pity on me and kept me by his side as his servant. As for these few days, it was because it was my brother's birthday and the prince accompanied me to pick out gifts. It is definitely not like what you all said that the prince and I had an affair. Your Majesty, please check it out."

Qingluan immediately knelt down and asked for instructions.

After hearing this, everyone had different opinions and the atmosphere in the venue remained tense.

"That's enough, shut up! Since it's just a small misunderstanding, there's no need to investigate it, and there's no need to talk about it anymore. Yan'er, you should also be more careful. How can a man be with a female subordinate? No wonder Wanwan is suspicious. I guess you haven't taken good care of Wanwan these days, which is why this happened!"

"The child knows he was wrong."

Song Qi Yan pursed his lips, bent down to apologize, but there was no sincerity on his face.

But it's also true that no one would be able to laugh if they encountered such an unfair thing.

Jiang Wanyu secretly wondered what to do next.

In this way, she would not be able to cancel the engagement with Song Qi Yan, and all her efforts would be in vain.

Just when Jiang Wanyu was frowning, Jiang Xun knelt down and asked Song Chengzhong solemnly, "Your Majesty, even so, my little sister does not want to marry Song Qiyan. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

"what?"

Song Chengzhong just breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became even more angry. Just as he was about to speak, Song Qiyan spoke first. "Mr. Jiang, Wanwan has just fallen into the water, and she has forgotten many things. This engagement is a big deal, how can we cancel it? And everyone knows that Wanwan has loved me for a long time, how can this feeling change so easily? I think Wanwan's illness has not yet recovered. If we make such a hasty decision, it will inevitably make Wanwan sad after she recovers. Don't you think so? Wanwan."

Song Qiyan was kneeling beside Jiang Wanyu. When he turned his head and smiled at her, Jiang Wanyu actually felt extremely chilled.

That's not a smile at all, it's an expression that clearly wants to hurt me.

After being stunned for a while, just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Song Qiyan whispered in Jiang Wanyu's ear in a cold voice.

"Jiang Wanyu, do you think that your father will cancel the engagement? Don't be naive. It will be your Jiang family that will suffer."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu's lips trembled slightly, and her pupils were blinded by fear.

Jiang family? She certainly couldn't let the Jiang family be destroyed because of her.

But why is Song Qi Yan so sure?

Jiang Wanyu then looked up and noticed Song Chengzhong's anger, as if he would get furious in the next second, which made Jiang Wanyu's heart tremble.

It was at this moment that she completely understood what Jiang Xun said.

"The Emperor is a very paranoid person."

Yes, how could such a paranoid Song Chengzhong easily destroy this opportunity to atone for his sins? To him, the engagement between Jiang Wanyu and Song Qiyan was just a means for him to make up for Concubine Xian.

"Wanwan, do you really want to cancel the engagement?"

"I……"

Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Wanyu.

He lowered his eyes and thought carefully.

She can't drag the Jiang family into this.

"This is Wanwan's fault. Wanwan misunderstood the Third Prince. Wanwan did not want to cancel the engagement..."

After saying that, Jiang Wanyu pursed her lips unwillingly. Jiang Xun, who was standing beside her, frowned, and the expression on his face became more complicated. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Wanwan, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Jiang Wanyu just lowered her eyes in disappointment, and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes for a moment. However, when she raised her eyes, the forced smile concealed her inner helplessness.

She moved her lips, signaling Jiang Xun to stop and end this farce.

"Your Highness is right. I fell into the water these days and my mind is not clear yet. Plus, I saw the Third Prince meeting a woman, so I couldn't help but feel suspicious. I was careless in this matter. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Seeing Jiang Wanyu bowing slowly, Song Chengzhong breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hand to calm the noise at the banquet.

"Let's leave it at that. You don't have to say anything more."

After a pause, Song Qi Yan slowly stood up and left his seat, and everyone knelt down.

"Let's end the banquet here today. You all can go away. You two can follow me."

After that, in front of everyone, Song Chengzhong took Jiang Wanyu and Song Qiyan away, leaving everyone else in shock.

Song Chengzhong walked in front, followed closely by Jiang Wanyu and Song Qiyan. Every step he took was chilling, as if he was walking on ice, biting and chilling.

In front of her was the paranoid emperor, and behind her was the sinister prince. Jiang Wanyu was caught in the middle and felt that something was wrong.

"What? Are you scared now? Why didn't you think about this before when you wanted to break off the engagement with me?"

Song Qiyan whispered softly in Jiang Wanyu's ear in a voice that was icy and chilling.

Jiang Wanyu had a gloomy face. Firstly, she didn't dare to look at him, and secondly, she was in no mood to pay attention to him. Looking at the haze ahead, she didn't even know where she was going.

"Don't worry, Father won't do anything to you."

Song Qiyan looked straight ahead, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and it was impossible to guess what kind of emotions were mixed in those eyes.

Jiang Wanyu didn't say anything but just quietly guessed about him. This was the first time she felt he was so strange and scary.

The road was not long, but just walking in silence, as if walking on thorns, made Jiang Wanyu feel it was very long, so long that it made her breathless.

Later, he walked through the wall, broke through a series of small doors, and squatted in front of the ancestral hall.

"Wanwan, please wait outside first. Yan'er, follow me in."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu and her attendants waited outside the ancestral hall, while Song Qiyan followed behind Song Chengzhong, biting his lip.

"Someone, get a whip."

"Yes."

Soon, the servant handed a thick and short whip to Song Chengzhong.

"Kneel down."

Song Chengzhong frowned and shouted harshly, and Song Qiyan knelt down in front of the token.
