After severing all ties with family and friends, the villain's entire family was filled with re

Chapter 128 Why is she allowed to marry a prince?

Qin Wan subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingyan, her face showing worry.

Everyone in Fengdu City knows what kind of person Xiao Jingyan is, including my grandmother.

Although her grandmother hadn't explicitly said so, Qin Wan knew that her grandmother was unhappy with the marriage.

Now that his grandmother wanted to see him, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But since Granny Sun had already arrived, Qin Wan couldn't refuse and could only look at Xiao Jingyan.

"Since it's Grandmother who wants to see me, let's not delay. Wan'er, come with me!"

Before Qin Wan could speak, Xiao Jingyan spoke first.

Granny Sun heard the word "Grandmother" come from Xiao Jingyan's mouth.

He was momentarily stunned. They had just gotten engaged, and he was already changing his address to her. The Fifth Prince was really... casual!

The two followed behind Granny Sun, Qin Wan's steps were very slow.

She knew her grandmother didn't like Xiao Jingyan very much, but she wasn't sure what her grandmother would say.

She was also afraid that Xiao Jingyan might speak without thinking and say something unpleasant that would displease her grandmother...

In short, Qin Wan's mind was filled with countless thoughts, all of which focused on the worst-case scenario.

Sensing Qin Wan's nervousness, Xiao Jingyan moved closer to her, nodded slightly, and whispered in her ear.

"Wan'er, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Qin Wan paused, then let out a long sigh.

Well, his sense of propriety is best left unmentioned!

As the group walked towards the Tranquil Courtyard, a beautiful figure witnessed everything from behind the artificial hill.

Su Yan'er almost shredded the handkerchief in her hand; jealousy and envy were written all over her face.

She had assumed that the Fifth Prince was out of favor and that marrying him would be a bad marriage.

Before this, she had been secretly pleased that Qin Wan was going to marry that useless prince.

But today's betrothal gifts opened her eyes to a whole 128 loads of them.

The amount of real gold and silver alone is enough to last a lifetime.

This was the first time Su Yan'er had truly experienced the richness of royalty, something that ordinary families could never match.

She had also inquired indirectly about how much betrothal gift the Marquis's mansion would prepare for her if she married Qin Lang.

The answer she received was only thirty-six loads, which she thought was enough. However, Qin Wan's load was more than three times hers.

How could she accept this!

Xiao Jingyan was nothing but a useless prince, yet His Majesty still managed to prepare so many betrothal gifts for her.

If she were to marry a prince, a prince who is slightly better than Xiao Jingyan, wouldn't that be much better than living in this marquis's mansion?

Moreover, it's uncertain what Qin Lang's final state will be, or whether he can fully recover.

Although she was not as noble as Qin Wan, she believed that her talent and emotional intelligence were far superior to Qin Wan's.

If she could curry favor with a prince, why couldn't I?

Today's betrothal ceremony truly shocked her, and her mindset underwent a complete transformation.

In this life, you should fight for yourself.

Even if he fails, Qin Lang will be there to back him up, since she has already given him her all.

"Miss, look at how smug Fourth Miss is. She's just going to marry a useless prince. In the future, she'll still have to rely on the Marquis's mansion. When Second Young Master recovers and wins military merits, Fourth Miss will have to be mindful of your feelings!" Cuizhu gently comforted Su Yan'er when she saw her hatred rising.

Su Yan'er kept staring at Qin Wan until she entered the Tranquil Heart Courtyard, at which point she reluctantly looked away.

"Come, follow me out of the manor!"

Cuizhu was taken aback, then quickly followed Su Yan'er's footsteps.

"Miss, where are we going?"

"Don't worry about it, just keep up!"

......

Tranquil Courtyard.

"Madam, the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Miss have arrived!" Granny Sun announced.

As everyone entered the room, before the younger generation could even offer their greetings, Old Madam Qin rose and bowed to Xiao Jingyan.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I could have personally greeted you when you came to my residence to propose marriage, but my health is not good enough. I would be grateful if Your Highness would have to make the trip."

The person bowing to him was Wan'er's grandmother, who was also his future grandmother. How could he accept her bow?

Xiao Jingyan hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to raise his hand to help, but due to etiquette, his hands remained frozen in the air, unsure of what to do.

"Grandmother, you are the elder, how can you bow to a junior? It is I who should bow to you!"

After speaking, Xiao Jingyan bowed and clasped his hands in a salute to Old Madam Qin.

"I should have come to pay my respects to my grandmother earlier this morning, but I was too busy today and forgot. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Jingyan humbled himself greatly, showing no airs of a prince, which surprised Old Madam Qin.

She had heard rumors about the prince, but had not had much contact with him.

Meeting him today, he doesn't seem particularly intelligent, but he's not as stupid as rumored either.

These few words made Old Madam Qin feel very comfortable.

She had met Xiao Jingyu and also seen her granddaughter's humble attempts to please her.

Compared to Xiao Jingyu's aloofness, she still felt that a somewhat foolish prince was more suitable for her granddaughter.

At the very least, he was willing to lower his status, and that was for Wan'er's sake.

Madam Qin, who had been feeling anxious, felt a little relieved.

Seeing that the two got along well, a smile appeared on the grandmother's face, and Qin Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.

She stepped forward and took Old Madam Qin's arm, saying in a coquettish tone, "Grandmother, today is Wan'er's big day, Wan'er looks beautiful in this outfit!"

Qin Wan took on the role of lightening the mood, changing the subject to try and get Old Madam Qin to talk to her more and distract her from Xiao Jingyan.

"So beautiful, so beautiful! My darling granddaughter looks good in everything!"

......

Meanwhile, Su Yan'er left the Marquis's residence.

We arrived at an alley at the end of Zhuque Street by carriage.

Looking at the deep alley that seemed to stretch endlessly, Cuizhu felt a little timid, and her heart pounded.

"Miss, what are we doing here?"

Cui Zhu's voice trembled slightly as she looked around. There were very few pedestrians, and the inn in front blocked out the sunlight, casting a chilling shadow over the area where they stood.

Su Yan'er lifted the curtain in front of her to confirm that this was the alley, and then walked straight in.

Cui Zhu received no response, so she had no choice but to muster her courage and follow Su Yan'er.

"Miss, please slow down. It doesn't seem safe in here. Perhaps we should bring some thugs and come back tomorrow!"

Su Yan'er scolded from the ground, "Shut up! What we're doing can't be known by more people, and it can't be spread around!"

The further she went, the more Cuizhu's legs began to tremble. She was so nervous that even a cat's meow could terrify her.

Su Yan'er was very angry at her appearance.

Qin Wan's subordinate Nianqi can protect her safety, but her own maid is so useless.

Su Yan'er suddenly tugged at her sleeve, feeling that the person holding her from behind was getting in her way.

"If you're scared, go wait in the carriage. Don't hold me back!"
