She actually thought it was quite good.
In this way, Gu Xingchuan would no longer have any lingering thoughts about her.
She really didn’t want to owe any emotional debts, as it would prevent her from living carefree.
That was exactly the case with Xiao Jinxing.
Because he harbored a trace of guilt towards her, his resolve in emotional matters became inadequate.
And such an outcome truly hurts both others and himself!
"By the way, Princess," Lu You suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "I just heard from the steward in the mansion, saying that the eldest young lady of the Duke Mansion will soon be married!"
"The Duke Mansion’s eldest young lady? Ruotong?!" Ye Qichi couldn’t help but be curious.
"That’s right. I specifically inquired about it, and it’s on the fifteenth of this month, in three days. It seems that the Duke Mansion has sent over an invitation, probably to invite the Prince and Princess to attend Miss Xie’s wedding banquet."
"Xiao Jinxing hasn’t recovered yet; he definitely won’t go." Ye Qichi knew the outcome without even thinking.
"Does that mean we can’t attend?" Lu You felt somewhat disappointed.
She actually quite missed Miss Xie.
She’s getting married, and she wanted to see it.
"He won’t go, but that doesn’t mean we won’t!" Ye Qichi made a swift decision and immediately turned and walked towards the departing Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing could feel someone approaching from behind.
With hurried footsteps.
He slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
So after holding back for so many days, he finally couldn’t help himself.
"Xiao Jinxing," Ye Qichi called out to him.
The moment Xiao Jinxing turned around, he had already resumed his indifferent demeanor.
He looked indifferently at Ye Qichi without speaking.
Ye Qichi never bothered to guess Xiao Jinxing’s thoughts. As for his chilly attitude, she was used to it, "I heard that Xie Ruotong is getting married?!"
Xiao Jinxing’s expression visibly changed.
Ye Qichi came just for Xie Ruotong?!
"I have already arranged for the steward to send the wedding gift. I am not well enough to attend the wedding," Xiao Jinxing said.
"Just because you’re unwell doesn’t mean I am!" Ye Qichi was somewhat speechless, "You prepare the wedding gift, and I’ll deliver it for you when the time comes."
"Ye Qichi, can’t you follow some rules?! If I cannot go, as a mere woman, is it appropriate for you to go?!"
"What’s inappropriate about it? The housewife of the Duke Mansion is your own aunt, and as a junior, you naturally ought to go and give your congratulations in person. However, since you can’t go due to health reasons, I will attend in your place. Wouldn’t your aunt be even more touched if she knew?"
"I do not allow it!" Xiao Jinxing flatly rejected without listening to Ye Qichi’s explanation.
"I am not seeking your permission, nor am I asking you to let me go. I am simply informing you!"
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing was so angered he gritted his teeth.
"Xiao Wu, as a mere woman, there are indeed some inconveniences for me to go by myself. Could you or Yuan Wenkang see who is available to accompany me?" Ye Qichi directly ignored Xiao Jinxing’s rage and began arranging the next matter.
Xiao Wu did not dare to answer at this moment.
The Prince was about to explode with anger. If he agreed, wouldn’t the Prince vent all his fury on the Princess?!
Xiao Wu also couldn’t help but sigh at this moment.
The Prince, having just been able to get out of bed, was enduring the pain and walking around the courtyard, deliberately passing by the courtyard where the Princess was about to leave, back and forth, just to attract the Princess’s attention. After holding back for so many days, he finally endured long enough for the Princess to take the initiative to greet him, but it turned out not to be a confession of love-sickness but a desire to go out and have fun herself...
It was said that the Prince was injured in his heart this time.
Now, it is likely that the wound is bleeding again.
"You can answer me tomorrow," Ye Qichi knew that Xiao Wu dared not respond to her at this moment, so she gave Xiao Wu a way out.
Without further ado, she walked away with Lu You.
As Lu You left, she couldn’t help but stealthily glance at the Prince.
The Prince’s eyes must be spewing fire by now, right?!
She’s really afraid that one day, the Princess might anger the Prince to death.
Ye Qichi returned to her own courtyard.
Then she began to ponder about Xie Ruotong’s matter.
Just now, with Lu You, she went to inquire with the steward and looked at the received invitation; Xie Ruotong was indeed marrying Song Yanqing.
But at the hunting festival, she saw Song Yanqing and Xie Ruilin, who appeared deeply in love. It seemed that Song Yanqing wanted to break off the engagement with Xie Ruotong, wholeheartedly wishing to marry Xie Ruilin. One month later, how could it be that Xie Ruotong is still marrying Song Yanqing?!
Did Song Yanqing fail to achieve his wish?!
Would Xie Ruotong be happy marrying Song Yanqing?
Because of Xie Ruotong, Song Yanqing couldn’t marry the girl he liked. Not only would he not like Xie Ruotong, but he might even hate her.
And Xie Ruotong happened to like Song Yanqing.
She mentioned it to her back at the mansion.
Ye Qichi felt concerned, thinking that this marriage might not turn out to be very happy.
But the wedding invitations have already been sent out.
The wedding is definitely going to happen.
In ancient times, not to mention that the invitations have been sent out and cannot be canceled, even if a woman was engaged and then the engagement was called off, her reputation would be greatly affected!
Once a woman was jilted, it would become very difficult for her to find another good family to marry into. Some women, not willing to lower their standards, might remain spinsters for life. Even if some did lower their standards and marry again, even a legitimate daughter or princess, they would definitely marry someone of a lower status.
Ye Qichi didn’t want to think too much about it.
At worst, when she leaves, she’ll take Xie Ruotong with her and roam the world together!
