070 jade pieces
Huhu——
A biting cold wind roared in, slapping the branches and making a crackling sound.
The cold wind penetrated her collar, and the British princess shivered suddenly. Her eyes, which had been in a daze, regained focus, and her mind returned to normal.
Her whole body woke up, and it was only at this moment that she realized that she had just said everything she shouldn't have said.
Her heart was beating uncontrollably, and she was in a panic. She didn't understand what had happened to her just now, and why she had told everything so secretly!
Is she possessed by a ghost?!
After the British duchess finished speaking, she shuddered suddenly, her eyes that had been in a daze regained focus, and her mind returned to normal.
She blinked, and it wasn't until this moment that she clearly realized what she had just said.
Her heart was beating uncontrollably and she was in a panic.
She didn't understand what happened to her just now, why did she tell everything so secretly?
Is she possessed by a ghost?!
Thump, thump!
The British princess was in a state of uneasiness. She looked around anxiously, always feeling like a sinister wind was blowing.
"Mingfeng..." She wanted to explain a few words remedially, but she felt a hot feeling coming from her right sleeve, as hot as a cluster of flames burning, burning and painful.
The British princess let out a soft cry and quickly took out the phoenix-patterned jade pendant from her sleeve pocket, only to find that the mutton-fat white jade pendant had been broken into seven or eight pieces. The fragments of the jade pendant were so hot that they almost burned her.
How could this happen?! The British princess was shocked and confused. She felt like there were countless ants swarming in her heart. She didn't notice Fang Mingfeng's ugly face at all.
Fang Mingfeng's eyes turned red, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and his joints creaked.
King Kang, King Kang Chuyou again!
What makes him inferior to King Kang?!
The next moment, I couldn't help but think about what Gu Yanfei said back then:
"Fang Mingfeng, in terms of status, you can't compete with Prince Kang."
"As for appearance...what are you going to do to compete with King Kang?"
That contemptuous voice pierced Fang Mingfeng's heart like a nail, making him miserable.
It was as if someone had pushed him into a bottomless abyss from behind. Fang Mingfeng felt that darkness and coldness surrounded him, completely engulfing him, leaving him unable to see any hope anymore.
His throat was filled with a fishy sweet taste.
A mouthful of blood vomited out from his throat, and his thin lips were stained red with blood.
"Mingfeng!" The British princess shouted in shock, feeling extremely distressed, "Quick... hurry up and call the doctor."
She was worried about her son and forgot about the broken jade pendant in her hand. The fragments of the jade pendant fell out of her hands and fell to the ground, but no one paid attention to them.
The surrounding servants were in chaos.
Fang Mingfeng didn't seem to hear anything and rushed out. Behind him, the British princess shouted in a trembling voice: "Mingfeng, where are you going!"
He was going to settle accounts with King Kang! Fang Mingfeng stumbled out of the mansion. The concierge and other servants were at a loss as to whether they should stop him or not, until a loud and majestic male voice came from the northwest:
"Come here, take the crown prince to me!"
A figure in a sapphire blue brocade robe strode towards this side. The man was in his late teens, with a rough appearance, a beard, and a strong and burly figure. He stared at Fang Mingfeng coldly, with piercing eyes.
Behind the man was a young boy who was out of breath. Just when he saw the prince injuring the guard and running out, he hurriedly ran to report to the Duke. Fortunately, he was still in time.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards quickly clasped their fists at the man in brocade robes and accepted the order.
The guards did not hesitate any longer and boldly stepped forward to stop Fang Mingfeng. They did not restrain themselves at all and clamped his arms firmly.
"Let me go! I'm going to find Chu You!" Fang Mingfeng's heart was occupied by anger and jealousy. He roared hysterically and struggled. The left half of his face covered with fine scars was extremely ferocious.
The British Duke frowned and waved his hand. The guards immediately understood and forcefully dragged Fang Mingfeng down.
"..." The British princess looked at her son's back and hesitated to speak. After all, she did not dare to plead for her son.
The British duchess's dark eyes moved to the British duchess again, and he noticed a few fragments of jade pendant scattered around her skirt, so he took another look.
"My lord..." The British princess quickly moved a step, her long skirt blocking the broken jade pendants.
The British father-in-law didn't want to hear her nonsense at all, so he interrupted her directly: "How is it?"
The British princess gritted her teeth nervously, a cold sweat broke out from her back, and her chest was filled with irritability, anger, and repressed emotions.
She pretended to be calm and whispered: "You asked me to go to the Gu family. I went, and Prince Kang came too... As you wished."
She said the last five words through gritted teeth, glaring at the British father angrily with her beautiful eyes, her body trembling slightly with anger.
In the past few days, not only Fang Mingfeng had been depressed, but also the British father-in-law. It was as if the world had suddenly turned upside down overnight, and the person beside her had turned into a stranger who made her feel terrible.
She really didn't understand why he wanted her to go to the Gu family and be humiliated for nothing!
Fortunately, she didn't get nothing this time. At any rate, she got the jade pendant back...
A strange light flashed across the eyes of the British duchess, her plump chest heaved violently, she looked up and looked directly into the British duchess's eyes, and said: "Fang Huairui, our son is going to become the laughing stock of the entire capital, how can you Are you happy and satisfied?"
Fang Huairui's gaze stabbed at the British duchess like a knife, chilling the air. Their eyes collided fiercely in mid-air, engaging in a silent duel.
Extremely complex emotions surged through Fang Huairui's eyes, leaving deep disappointment in the end.
He shook his sleeves heavily and walked towards the outer study, leaving only one sentence: "Mr. Yu, if you have nothing to do, don't go out."
This sentence is equivalent to issuing a ban on British parents-in-law.
"..." Mr. Yu's whole body was shaking like chaff, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
She wanted to catch up, but years of upbringing made her unable to let go of her pride as a daughter of an aristocratic family, so she did not move after all.
Her face turned red, and she felt like the servants around her were looking at her with piercing eyes.
"Bang!"
The door of the British Duke's mansion was tightly closed, sealing away the hustle and bustle in the mansion so that outsiders could not pry, but it could not stop outsiders from gossiping.
The British father-in-law went there in a very public manner today. Almost half of the people in the capital knew that the Fang family went to the Gu family to make a wedding ceremony. Now that the British father-in-law returned disappointed with the wedding ceremony, people have to guess whether the Gu family refused. This marriage.
Logically speaking, if the marriage can reach the stage of a small decision, it must be that the two families have been discussing the marriage for a long time, and it cannot be that the British government came to propose marriage out of nowhere.
Especially King Kang's sudden intrusion made this marriage even more topical.
In the next few days, everyone in Beijing couldn't help but speculate. Various gossips spread a lot and became more and more lively. Some good people went to the British government office to test their words. Unfortunately, the British government office closed its doors and refused to visit.
Many people have the mentality of watching a good show and are looking forward to whether there will be some bloody marriage drama between Prince Kang and the British government.
The British Crown Prince Huairui, who was the center of public opinion, finally left the palace and entered the palace after being closed for three days.
He did not go to court, but was led all the way to Dongnuan Pavilion by the chamberlain.
"Your Highness, the First Prince, the matter has been settled."
Fang Huairui lowered his eyebrows and solemnly saluted the person behind the case with clasped fists.
There was an incense burner lit in the corner, the incense was curling up, and the air was filled with a mellow scent of sandalwood.
Chapter completed!
