Chapter 403 - 382 Second Update
"Prince Duan, Yunqian did not mean that," the Duke of Qing spoke up immediately. The boy had completely lost his head; how could he say such a thing? They only learned about yesterday’s events after the fact, but the Duke of Qing was not foolish. If they were unaware of the slightest inside information, how could the people from Prince Duan’s Mansion possibly know?
Prince Duan’s face turned extremely ugly, and even Zheng Haoyuan was too frightened to speak at this moment. The words of Zong Yunqian were insulting his cousin sister.
"Zong Yunqian, you’re seeking death. My cousin sister is pure and upright—," Zheng Haoyuan no longer pretended to have a limp and swung his fist directly at Zong Yunqian’s face. To think you can insult my cousin sister like this, it’s simply seeking death.
Prince Duan grabbed Zheng Haoyuan in a flash, his chest heaving.
"Zong Yunqian, this marriage was not something my Prince Duan’s Mansion begged your Zong Sheng Family for. Since that’s the case, there is nothing much to say about breaking off the engagement. Another day... no, right now, I will have someone return the engagement gifts—"
"Prince Duan, my foolish son has acted rashly..." The Duke of Qing’s face changed immediately; he took a step forward, but Prince Duan didn’t give him the chance to continue, "Show the guests out—"
Housekeeper He was also furious. No matter if it was the Zong Sheng Family, how could they mess with the lifeline of the Prince? Regardless of what Aristocratic Gentry Clans you hail from.
"Duke of Qing, Heir Zong, our Prince’s Mansion is too small to accommodate your esteemed selves. Please leave—," Housekeeper He was not polite anymore.
The Duke of Qing knew that nothing he said would help at this point; he heaved a sigh, preparing to talk again once Prince Duan had calmed down.
Zong Yunqian was stunned and instantly realized that Prince Duan had misunderstood his words. That was not what he meant at all. The stake that Ghoul Ravine held in Zheng Capital must be significant.
"Prince Duan—" Before Zong Yunqian could speak, Zheng Haoyuan sprang up, ready to fight again. Gu Dao and Xi Feng were about to intervene but were stopped by the guards beside Prince Duan. The guards accompanying Zheng Haoyuan were too slow to act and could only signal with their eyes their thanks to the people from the Crown Prince’s Mansion who intervened.
