The prince looked at his happy expression and couldn't help but feel a nameless anger burning in his heart, as if countless small insects were gnawing at his heart.

He turned and left angrily, his steps quick and heavy, as if he wanted to trample all the anger under his feet.

However, he had no intention of returning to his mansion. "Second Master, where are you going?" As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard the guard's concerned voice behind him.

The prince stopped and turned around, with a determined light in his eyes: "Let's go to the Wen family."

The guard was slightly stunned, but then nodded and said, "Okay!"

However, before they had taken a few steps, the guard suddenly seemed to remember something and asked cautiously, "Second Master, in what capacity are we going this time?"

Upon hearing this, the prince was suddenly speechless.

Yeah, that's a tricky question indeed.

If it were in the past, it would be fine for him to go to the Wen family as Master Qian, after all, they were still engaged at that time.

But now that the engagement has been cancelled, it would be inappropriate to go there rashly.

What gave him a headache was whether he should act as Master Qian or as the Crown Prince?

Just as the prince fell into deep thought, the door of the Wen family slowly opened, and a familiar figure appeared before him - it was Xue Jinhua.

She was wearing a light green long skirt, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like a flower blooming in spring.

Her makeup was delicate, bright and charming, and it was obvious that she had dressed up carefully.

The prince's mood became a little subtle at this time. He was hesitant and didn't know whether he should step forward.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a carriage that had just stopped nearby.

The carriage was extremely gorgeously decorated, with a striking Ning Wangfu logo printed on the body. He could guess who the visitor was without having to think.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw Ling Xiao's high-spirited and cheerful face.

Tsk tsk tsk, if it weren't for the fact that they knew he had only been engaged to the Wen family, people would probably mistakenly think he was here to marry his bride today! Look at how excited he is.

Is he really that happy?

What’s even more infuriating is that when Ling Xiao walked in front of Xue Jin’s screen, he said something to her that actually made her laugh exceptionally happily.

Afterwards, the two of them boarded the carriage together, not knowing where they were going.

"Second Master, do we...still need to go in?"

"Everyone has already left, what's the point of going in? You don't feel ashamed, but I do."

Hearing this, the guards outside stopped talking, but the prince could not be happy no matter what.

Whenever he thought of Xue Jinhua's face just now, he felt as if his heart was blocked.

He knew clearly that he couldn't give her anything... At this moment, seeing that she had a good home, he should be happy, but for some reason he couldn't be happy at all.

The more His Royal Highness thought about it, the angrier he became.

There is only one possible explanation, that is, Ling Xiao is too conspicuous.

No, Ling Xiao is definitely not a kind person. She can marry anyone, but definitely not Ling Xiao.

On that day, no one knew where Xue Jinhua and Ling Xiao went. In any case, when Xue Jinhua returned home, it was almost completely dark.

She got off the carriage, and only slowly walked forward after Ling Xiao's carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.

"draw………"

Xue Jinhua was about to walk into the house when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She was slightly stunned, and when she looked carefully, she found that it was Master Qian standing there.

The tall man in front of me, wearing a silver mask, exudes a hostile aura that makes people dare not approach him easily.

To be honest, if Madam Qian hadn't told her herself, she would have found it hard to imagine that the person in front of her was the gentle and jade-like Crown Prince.

"Second Master."

Xue Jinhua bowed slightly, with a hint of indifference in her expression.

The prince's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a steel needle. "Huahua, why do we have to be so distant from each other?"

"Second Master, we have already called off the engagement. Now I have a fiancé, so I hope you will respect yourself."

These two simple sentences hit his sore spot accurately.

"I have something to tell you." The prince was extremely angry, but he still considered her face. After all, this was the Wen family's place, and he couldn't act recklessly.

"Second Master, if you have something to say, just say it."

"This is not the place to talk. There is an inn ahead. Let's go over there and talk."

After saying this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked towards the inn on his own. Xue Jinhua hesitated for a moment, but turned around and followed him.

In the inn, after Xue Jinhua came in, Master Qian said bluntly, "Ling Xiao is definitely not a good match for you. You should find a way to end this marriage."

Xue Jinhua was a little annoyed, but it was also expected. "Second Master, we have already called off the engagement. Aren't you meddling too much in my affairs?"

"I know what you're thinking, but Ling Xiao is a bohemian person. How could he be sincere to you?"

Xue Jinhua thought it was ridiculous, "But Second Master, don't you know that people can change? I want to believe that he is sincere to me, and I want to believe that he will change for me."

The prince was speechless for a moment, and Xue Jinhua continued, "Besides, Second Master knows that Xue Lao San has been arrested, and the Xue family will definitely track me down to Nanling. They will know my identity sooner or later, and even if Ling Xiao is not very good, he is still a member of the royal family."

"For me, his marrying me is like a talisman. I think the Xue family will have some reservations. So, no matter what, Ling Xiao is my best choice now."

These words went straight to his heart, causing him to feel pain.

"Do you really think so? Are you really willing to marry Ling Xiao?"

At first, he thought that the Wen family would not be able to refuse this marriage due to Ling Xiao's status, so he thought that if Xue Jinhua was unwilling, he could find a way to cancel the engagement.

Unexpectedly, things went against her wishes... She was actually willing to do it.

The prince felt like he had something stuck in his throat and didn't know what to say.

"Yes, I did it willingly."

"As for the problems that Second Master mentioned, they are not difficult for me. I am very grateful that the prince does not mind my past and my identity, so I am willing to accept this marriage."

Looking at the silver mask, Xue Jinhua slowly stood up and saluted, "Second Master, it's getting late. I've been out for a long time. I should go back."

After saying that, Xue Jinhua walked out of the door. The prince stared at her back as she walked away, but finally he restrained himself and did not chase after her.

After leaving the house, Qing Yi felt a little bit sorry, "Miss, I see that the Second Master is not ruthless to you."

"So what if he has feelings for me?" Xue Jinhua lowered her eyes. "He has too many concerns."

Looking at the sunset glow gradually rising in the sky, Xue Jinhua sighed, "Let's go, let's go back, some things can't be forced."

Her blood feud has not yet been avenged, and her fate has not yet been reversed. Now is not the time to talk about love.

After the prince returned to the palace, he tossed and turned all night, his heart still wavering...

The next morning, an invitation arrived from Prince Ning's Mansion.

"Second Master, the prince's wedding date has been set, it will be the day after tomorrow. Here is the invitation letter. Please be sure to attend the banquet on time."

The Crown Prince's face darkened instantly. "The engagement was just arranged yesterday, and the wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. Isn't Ling Xiao too anxious?"

How could the royal family marry so hastily? How could it be so quick?

"His Highness said that in order to prevent any complications, the wedding should be kept simple."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince's face turned ugly, and he snorted in his heart: "Hmph! Ling Xiao is so anxious to marry her." But on the surface, he still maintained his calm and said: "Go tell the prince that I will definitely attend on time the day after tomorrow."

The prince thought secretly in his heart that Ling Xiao was always careless about other things, but he was faster than anyone else when it came to getting married.

However, he couldn't think of marrying Xue Jinhua easily right under his nose.

The more the prince thought about it, the more infuriating he found this matter, so he went straight to Madam Qian's room.

At this time, Madam Qian had just learned the news about Prince Ning's Mansion. She was very surprised at the efficiency and decisiveness of the Ning Palace.

While she was still immersed in surprise, the prince rushed in with a cold face.

"Please prepare the mansion well, I will be welcoming my bride the day after tomorrow." After saying this, the prince turned around and left without looking back, leaving Madam Qian standing there in a daze.

By the time Madam Qian came to her senses, the prince had already disappeared without a trace.

Master Tiandao, who was standing by, was overjoyed when he saw this and asked excitedly, "Is this... Did the Second Master finally figure it out?"
