Tang Cheng was very unhappy about Tang Xin's sudden intrusion. The Peony Garden was her territory, and Tang Xin just barged in so casually, showing no regard for her at all.
Tang Cheng's pretty face was full of indifference, and she was very angry.
"Tang Xin, what are you doing here? You are not welcome here!"
Tang Xin was so happy that she didn't expect that her fourth sister would ruthlessly drive her away in front of Master Wen. She felt embarrassed and angry, and her pretty face turned red.
However, she is a person with a strong heart. She dressed up carefully this time with a clear purpose, which is to be for her male god, Prince Wen. How could she leave easily
"Fourth sister, didn't you say before that you wanted the tricolor peony I cultivated? I brought it to you."
Tang Xin took a deep breath, raised a gentle smile towards Tang Cheng, and explained the purpose of his visit in a gentle tone. After that, he asked Jinshu to bring out a pot of tricolor peonies in the basket.
One of her goals was to show off her flower-growing skills in front of Wen Huaian.
She had just pointed out thoughtfully that this unique tricolor peony was cultivated by herself.
Peony symbolizes wealth and splendor and is loved by many noble ladies.
Once Tang Xin's unique skill in growing flowers is revealed, it will surely be sought after by everyone.
Prince Wen is a nobleman, and he should also like precious flowers and plants.
As expected, she saw Wen Huaian's look of amazement and shock.
Tang Xin felt a little proud.
The tricolor peony is very beautiful, with pink, yellow and blue colors complementing each other, and the petals layered on top of each other in bright colors, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Wen Huaian is no exception.
Except for Tang Cheng, she had seen countless beautiful and famous flowers, and this tricolor peony was only average.
She lost interest after just a glance. She recalled the original owner's memory and finally dug it out from the horns.
Tang Xin did not lie.
The original owner did ask Tang Xin for the tricolor peony. It was on the morning of the day she first traveled through time. The original owner particularly liked the rich peony, and when she learned that Tang Xin had cultivated the tricolor peony that she had never heard of, she hurriedly sent someone to ask for it.
Tang Cheng forgot about this matter after she came here. Unexpectedly, three days later, Tang Xin actually took the initiative to send her flowers.
interesting.
Tang Cheng's gaze fell on Wen Huaian's handsome face, and then he saw Tang Xin's eyes with a hint of shyness and joy glancing at Wen Huaian from time to time, and he instantly knew Tang Xin's purpose.
He is thinking about the father of her child, and is clearly using her as a bridge to get close to Wen Huaian.
What a good calculation!
Is she so easy to use
Tang Cheng snorted in dissatisfaction and ordered them to leave without any hesitation.
"I have received the flowers. You can leave now."
Tang Xin, who was caught off guard and driven away, froze the smile on her pretty face, and couldn't help but look at Wen Huaian.
Unfortunately, Wen Huaian's eyes were on the tricolor peony and he ignored her.
Tang Xin felt depressed.
"Tang Xin, why are you looking at what Wen Huaian is doing? He is just a guest and cannot make the decision. Don't waste your time. I am the owner of this peony garden."
"Wen Huaian, don't you think so?"
Tang Cheng raised his chin and bluntly exposed Tang Xin's girlish thoughts.
When Wen Huaian heard Tang Cheng's question, he turned his gaze from the tricolor peony to Tang Cheng and smiled at her.
"Well, you are the master and you have the final say. I just discovered that your peony garden is not worthy of its name. There is not even a pot of peony flowers. Why don't I ask someone to send some over?"
Tang Cheng looked at Wen Huaian with satisfaction. The child's father did not disappoint her. In particular, his good intentions pointed out a way for her to cheat others.
So Tang Cheng very generously rejected Wen Huaian and unceremoniously tricked Tang Xin.
"No need. Didn't Tang Xin say that she cultivated the tricolor peony? She must be good at growing flowers since she can cultivate such precious tricolor peonies. I can just ask her for peonies. Then we can plant peonies all over this yard and the Peony Garden will be worthy of its name."
Tang Cheng asked Tang Xin for peonies in such an open and aboveboard manner.
Tang Xin's pretty face twisted for a moment.
It turns out that he is addicted to taking advantage!
Wen Huaian added, "That's right, Tang Cheng. Miss Tang San and you have a deep sisterly bond. She's willing to give you a tricolor peony. She'll definitely be happy to help you grow a yard of peonies." He raised his head to look at Tang Xin, his thin lips curled up slightly, "Miss Tang San, don't you agree?"
Wen Huaian saw the admiration in Tang Xin's eyes at a glance, frowned slightly, and immediately cut the Gordian knot to stop her from thinking about it.
Tang Cheng alone exhausted him, and he had to be on high alert to prevent her from finding a stepfather for his child. How could he have the time to care about other women
Jinshu was stunned.
In the huge Nanyang Marquis Mansion, everyone knows that the fourth young lady always likes to snatch the young lady's things openly.
Prince Wen was still talking about the deep sisterly love. Didn’t he see how the fourth lady drove the young lady away in public just now? He actually lied with his eyes open!
Jinshu didn't dare to look at the young lady's expression, for she was afraid that she would be angry.
Tang Xin was really furious. Her love, which had just sprouted not long ago, was shattered into pieces. She could no longer maintain a good expression. She had truly witnessed the shamelessness of her fourth sister. She had never expected that the handsome and noble Prince Wen in her mind was also a guy who aided and abetted the evil. Clearly, both of them had called off the engagement. She really misjudged him. Her fantasy was shattered, and her good impression of Prince Wen was instantly wiped out.
Tang Xin was too lazy to maintain her gentle and virtuous appearance anymore.
She must be stupid to come to the Peony Garden, and Tang Cheng is just an idiot who keeps asking for more.
You want to continue taking advantage of her? No way!
Let’s walk around the peony garden from now on.
It’s a pity that her tricolor peony has fallen into Tang Cheng’s hands and it is probably impossible to get it back.
Just think of it as feeding the dog!
Tang Xin endured the heartache of losing a pot of three-color peonies and sneered, "Prince Wen, you are joking. Tang Cheng and I have always been at odds with each other and have a very bad relationship. This pot of three-color peonies was demanded by Tang Cheng through threats. Now that the flowers have been delivered, I should leave."
"Jinshu, let's go!"
After saying that, Tang Xin left angrily with Jinshu.
The anxious back looked like he was fleeing in panic, and he didn't even notice the cracked table from beginning to end.
Tang Cheng smiled and gave Wen Huaian a thumbs up: "Well done!"
Wen Huaian smiled modestly: "No, this is all your credit."
The four maids: "..."
"Do you need me to send some peonies over?" Wen Huaian asked with a raised eyebrow.
Tang Cheng flatly refused: "No, the flowers and plants in the yard are pretty good now, I don't want to change them yet."
They are just ordinary flowers and plants anyway. It doesn't matter what you plant. As long as they are trimmed neatly and beautifully, it's fine.
"Aren't you afraid of not living up to the reputation?" Wen Huaian smiled.
After Tang Xin's interruption, Wen Huaian also came to terms with it. Tang Cheng's ideas were different from others and could not be viewed with common sense. He needed to take it slow.
"It's just the name of a courtyard. If you don't like it, you can change it. There will always be times when the name doesn't live up to the reality. Why bother with that?"
Tang Cheng didn't care at all.
The four maids were speechless.
Doesn’t the young lady often mess around
"That makes sense!" Wen Huaian agreed, "Rumor has it that Miss Tang Si is a straw bag beauty, but I don't think that's true."
Tang Cheng smiled happily.
"You have good taste!"
The Straw Bag Beauty was the original owner, but she was not.
"Anyone with a brain can see that!"
Wen Huaian curled his lips and secretly laughed in his heart. It turned out that Tang Cheng liked to hear nice words. This must be remembered.
The four maids: "..."
Wen Huaian took a sip of tea and joked with interest: "Tang Cheng, I just helped you, is there a reward?"
Tang Cheng was a generous person. She pointed at the pot of rich and gorgeous three-color peonies and said generously: "Here, this pot of three-color peonies is for you."
Wen Huaian: “…”
He was silent for a moment, looking into Tang Cheng's eyes: "Can I change one?"
Tang Cheng looked at Wen Huaian strangely. He clearly liked the tricolor peony just now. Did he want a strengthening potion
Tang Cheng frowned.
"Do you want a strengthening potion?"
Wen Huaian paused for a moment, and simply said directly: "No, can we get engaged again?"
You wish!
Tang Cheng turned his head and decisively refused: "No, let's just have the three-color peony."
Anyway, it was given by Tang Xin, so I don’t feel bad about giving it away.
The four maids felt sorry for her.
A pot of tricolor peony can be sold at a sky-high price.
Wen Huaian: “…”
It still doesn’t work.
Wen Huaian was not disappointed either, because he had never thought about asking for a reward anyway.
"No need, it's just a small favor." He then changed the subject and said seriously, "Sorry, I was in a hurry to go out today. I will send you the reward for the strengthening potion later."
Seeing that Wen Huaian didn't want anything and even mentioned the reward, Tang Cheng's unhappiness disappeared. She waved her hand generously: "No need, I accepted one thousand taels of gold from your mother. People should keep their promises and not be greedy."
Can you please not mention the one thousand taels of gold
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched.
It was almost noon, and now that the engagement had been called off, there was no possibility of re-engagement. Wen Huaian didn't want to stay for long and got up to say goodbye.
The peony garden fell silent.
"Miss, the tricolor peony is a new species that has never appeared before. It is rare and precious, and worth a fortune."
Zhenzhu was afraid that the young lady would give the flowers away again, so she quickly told Tang Cheng the value of the tricolor peony.
The other three maids nodded.
Tang Cheng was surprised when she heard this. She looked carefully at the pot of tricolor peony and was very puzzled.
"Isn't it just a mixture of three colors? It has no other use except for viewing. Is it so precious?"
In Tang Cheng's opinion, flowers are valuable only if they have other uses besides being beautiful.
The four maids nodded in unison.
"Once the word of this three-color peony gets out, it will surely cause a sensation throughout the capital."
Tang Cheng looked incredulous that a mere tricolor peony could be so precious.
But she still doesn't like it, but my father, the Marquis, should like it.
She broke off the engagement with the Duke of Zhenguo. When the Marquis comes back, he will definitely feel guilty and feel sorry for her.
Let's give this pot of flowers to my father, the Marquis.
Tang Cheng happily decided the ownership of the tricolor peony.
…
After leaving the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Wen Huaian looked at the vermilion lacquered gate of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion behind him, then looked at the cloudless blue sky, then mounted his horse and left.
There is ample time.
Wen Huaian rode his horse through the bustling streets of the capital, ignoring the glances from all directions. He met two good friends on the way.
The eldest son of Marquis Dingbei and the eldest son of Duke Qi.
The two of them excitedly took Wen Huaian to the teahouse.
In the teahouse box, the prince of Dingbei held up the teacup and shouted happily.
"Come on, let's use tea instead of wine to celebrate Huai'an's escape from the sea of suffering and the straw bag beauty!"
"Congratulations!"
The eldest son of Duke Qi's mansion also happily followed to congratulate.
Laughter echoed in the box.
Wen Huaian looked at the two happy friends in front of him, and his handsome face instantly darkened.
"I never thought about breaking off the engagement!"
"Do you have any ideas for me to re-engage with Fourth Miss Tang?"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
The eldest son of Marquis Dingbei and the eldest young master of Duke Qi's mansion were horrified. Was Huai'an mentally ill
What's so good about being nostalgic about Miss Tang Si, that arrogant, vain, brainless and foolish beauty!
The two of them rolled their eyes and immediately came up with an idea.
