The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 267 It seems that you are eager to cancel the engagement

"No one lives in this yard anymore. We didn't just barge into someone else's house!"

Although his face was very stern, he could still speak with a childish voice.

Jiang Suining looked at them and finally did not walk into the yard. "I know, I disturbed you. I'm sorry."

Not long after she turned around and left, Biyun said to Jiang Suining, "Miss, how about I go buy some food and bring it over?"

These children look so pitiful.

Jiang Suining was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can only help them temporarily, but not forever. Short-term assistance will not have a big effect. We must find a way to give them a way out in the end."

As the carriage left, the scenery in front of us slowly changed from a remote and desolate house to a bustling and prosperous street.

The highest place in this imperial city is the Moon-Viewing Pavilion in the imperial palace.

It is said that standing on it, one can overlook the entire imperial city.

Jiang Suining didn't know whether the emperor, clan members and court officials had ever stood on it, nor did he know whether they could see this place when they stood on it.

It is amazing to see that behind the prosperity, bustle and wealth, there is such a dilapidated and depressed place.

Perhaps they saw it, but were unwilling to use the national treasury to pay for the reconstruction, so they thought of selling that place and letting them turn the dilapidated and depressed place into a prosperous and bustling one.

However, if that place also becomes a den of wealth, where should the beggars and refugees hiding there go?

Jiang Suining was thinking deeply in his heart.

……

The first day of September.

This was the day when Yang Manman and Li Zheng got engaged, and it was also the day when the court officially announced the sale of the land in the west of the city.

This time, the court adopted a bidding method, and the highest bidder won, and the bidding day was set on September 15th.

Jiang Suining devoted himself to a series of preparatory work.

Mei Qinnan saw how carefully Jiang Suining had prepared, and knowing that Jiang Suining had done her work carefully and seriously before, she felt very relieved, so she did not make too many preparations, but just raised enough money.

At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Zheng's legs were finally able to move up to the ground.

Despite the threat from Duke Yang, Yang Manman still visited him every now and then.

But after listening to Yang Manman's concerned words again, Li Zheng no longer felt happy and touched, but instead felt an indescribable disappointment and discomfort.

But after all, he had spent so many years, broken off the engagement, lost his reputation, and now broke his leg. Li Zheng couldn't just let go and cancel the engagement.

An inexplicable depressing atmosphere continued between the two of them.

During this period, Li Zheng started drinking, as if he wanted to swallow all his depression and repression along with the wine.

The servant who knew the reason couldn't bear to see his son in this state. After several attempts of consolation failed, he began to persuade Li Zheng to go out for a walk.

Although his leg was broken, he had to face it eventually. He couldn't stay in the house all his life without going out.

Li Zheng was reluctant at first, but every time he saw Yang Manman, he felt more depressed. Finally, on the Double Ninth Festival, he agreed to go out.

This was the first time he left the Prime Minister's Mansion after being injured.

Originally, he just wanted to find a restaurant to have a good drink and vent his anger, but unexpectedly, he met Bi Yingjie and Yang Manman, who was wearing men's clothes again, on the street.

Before, Li Zheng really liked Yang Manman’s casualness and unrestrained style, and he also thought she looked very cool when she wore men’s clothes.

But at this moment, seeing this scene again, his face instinctively darkened, and he felt it was extremely glaring.

Yang Manman and Bi Yingjie were chatting and laughing, but when they saw Li Zheng, their smiles froze on their faces.

Why is Li Zheng here?

His legs are broken and he's already a cripple, yet he still goes out and runs around!

Yang Manman felt disgusted again.

When Bi Yingjie saw Li Zheng, he was also stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he immediately walked forward with a smile.

"Brother Li, it's great to meet you here. I was just talking to Manman about whether I should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you, but Manman said you were in a bad mood and didn't want to go out, so I gave up."

"She is my fiancée now. Do you think it's appropriate to call her Manman?" Li Zheng looked at Bi Yingjie coldly.

The latter was stunned by these words. He had called Yang Manman like this in front of Li Zheng before, but then he thought, they were already engaged, and it was natural for Li Zheng not to want to hear him call her like this again, so he changed his words.

"I did say something wrong, Brother Li, please don't be angry. Now that you are out, it's just right. You, me and Man, no, Miss Yang, can have some fun together."

"What Miss Yang? Didn't I tell you that I don't like this title? It sounds petty." Yang Manman said in a muffled voice.

Li Zheng was so crazy. Just because I didn't visit him today, he turned his face away in front of Bi Yingjie.

Bi Yingjie felt helpless. He looked at Li Zheng's cold face, then at Yang Manman's unhappy face. After thinking for a while, he said.

"Brother Yang, it's ok for me to call you Brother Yang, right?"

Yang Manman snorted lightly and did not comment, taking it as her consent.

And ever since Li Zheng opened his mouth, his eyes have been fixed on Yang Manman.

The latter was a little annoyed by his gaze and frowned and said, "Li Zheng, what's wrong with you today? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't look at me like that."

It was as if she had done something wrong, but she had just made an appointment with Bi Yingjie to go out for a drink and stroll around.

"I'm your fiancé, can't I even look at you?" Li Zheng was very unhappy, and his tone was unusually cold and hard.

Yang Manman, who had never been treated in such an attitude by Li Zheng, suddenly became furious when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows and stared at Li Zheng.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think that since we're engaged, I have to ask you for your approval on everything? Li Zheng, if you don't like it, we can just dissolve our marriage. Stop being so sarcastic!"

"Manman, it seems like you really want to cancel the engagement."

Li Zheng looked at Yang Manman with disappointment.

The latter's heart skipped a beat, and he spoke again immediately.

"Stop talking nonsense here. I am sincere and you are the one with the problem. I am just hanging out with Bi Yingjie. You know I am not a fussy person. If you have wild thoughts, I can't control you. If you want to cancel the engagement, I can agree. But don't try to throw dirty water on me!"

Yang Manman's words sounded so righteous and reasonable. If Li Zheng had not heard her dislike for him with his own ears before, he would have been fooled by her and believed her so-called sincerity.

But at this moment, Li Zheng knew clearly in his heart that Yang Manman just disliked him but did not want to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion.
