Chapter 172 Jun Qi's Engagement Cancelled
Ling Junqi listened carefully to He Tingxi's narration. After He Tingxi finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, if that's the case, even if the marriage is cancelled, we can still maintain a superficial friendship without tearing each other apart."
"Yes, that's exactly the effect we want. As for your injury, when it will heal depends on when Miss Ma San gets married. As long as she gets married, your injury will heal." He Tingxi nodded.
"What if they delay marrying off Miss Ma San?" Ling Junqi asked worriedly.
He Tingxi smiled lightly, "Don't worry about this, because he doesn't know when your body will return to normal. He is afraid that you will regret it, so he will definitely let Miss Ma San get married as soon as possible."
Ling Junqi was stunned for a moment, then he understood He Tingxi's intention. He smiled and said, "This is why Your Highness did not announce the extent of my injury to the public."
"That's what I mean." He Tingxi nodded and smiled.
"Okay, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. After I get injured, I can only live in Prince Yan's Mansion, right?" Ling Xiyue asked.
"Well. Why don't you stay in Prince Yan's Mansion for a while? This way, you don't have to run around, and you can spend more time with Xiyue." He Tingxi nodded.
"What about my father? Was it Your Highness who persuaded him, or was it me who said it?" Ling Junqi continued to ask.
"Let me do it. After you are injured, he will come to see you naturally. Then I will tell him in detail." He Tingxi responded.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Your Highness." Ling Junqi was immediately delighted at the thought that the problem could be solved quickly.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the study and make some arrangements. Don't disturb Xiyue's lunch break." He Tingxi glanced at Ling Xiyue and said.
"Yes, of course." Ling Junqi nodded.
"Okay, you guys go and make the arrangements. I won't bother you any more." Ling Xiyue was not particularly interested in the detailed arrangements, so she responded readily.
"it is good."
Afterwards, He Tingxi took Ling Junqi out of Ling Xiyue's room and walked towards the study.
After arriving at the study, He Tingxi called Shi Hui to discuss Ling Junqi's "injury" together.
They deliberately created an "accident" to cause Ling Junqi to fall from a high place and get injured. In order to make it easier to take care of him, He Tingxi let Ling Junqi rest in the guest room to recuperate.
In order to let more people know about this, He Tingxi deliberately asked people in the mansion to spread the news of Ling Junqi's injury in the form of "gossip", but they only said that he fell at the waist and deliberately did not mention the severity of the injury.
With a topic of conversation, news of Ling Junqi's injury quickly spread.
In addition, after Ling Xiu learned about it, he immediately went to Prince Yan's Mansion to see Ling Junqi.
Ling Xiu, who didn't know the truth, was instantly heartbroken when he saw Ling Junqi lying on the bed.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that everything was a plot by He Tingxi and Ling Junqi.
Ling Xiu's attitude towards Ling Junqi's marriage was just as Ling Junqi and the others had guessed, so he quickly agreed to He Tingxi's suggestion.
They also decided that after the news of Ling Junqi's injury spread throughout the capital, they would go to the Ma Mansion to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.
In addition, to prevent gossip, He Tingxi instructed Ling Xiu to keep the fact that Ling Junqi had faked his injury a secret and not to tell anyone, including Mrs. He.
Ling Xiu agreed readily.
Two days later, the news of Ling Junqi's injury spread throughout the capital, including the Ma Mansion, and even He Jingcheng knew about it.
Ling Xiu felt that the time was ripe, so he went to the Ma Mansion to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with Ma Lun.
Seeing Ling Xiu coming forward on his own initiative, and thinking of Ling Junqi's injury, Ma Lun was afraid that it would affect Ma Yuanyuan's life, so he agreed to cancel the engagement reluctantly.
The two families each had their own plans in mind, so the entire conversation was very harmonious. There was no unpleasantness and they maintained superficial friendship.
Ling Xiu was overjoyed to see that the marriage was successfully concluded.
After the matter was settled, he went directly to Prince Yan's Mansion and informed He Tingxi, Ling Junqi and others about the matter.
As for Ling Junqi's recuperation in Prince Yan's Mansion, Ling Xiu had no objection and left everything to He Tingxi's arrangements.
He Tingxi ordered housekeeper Xiao to send Ling Xiu away, while He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue remained in Ling Junqi's room.
"The marriage has finally been called off. What a cause for celebration." Ling Xiyue sighed as she looked at Ling Junqi.
When Ling Junqi saw that there was no one else in the room, he got up, stood beside the bed, and responded, "Yes, I finally solved a knot in my heart."
After saying that, he turned to He Tingxi and bowed to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me solve this difficult problem."
"Junqi, we are family, so don't be so rude." Upon seeing this, He Tingxi patted Ling Junqi's arm in response.
"I believe that in the near future, Ma Lun will help his daughter find a suitable family and arrange a marriage. By then, Junqi, your injury will be healed." He Tingxi continued.
"Yes." Ling Junqi smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, it won't take too long, right?" Ling Xiyue asked curiously.
"No, because he is afraid that we will go back on our word and that things will get more complicated, so he will definitely help Ma Yuanyuan find a suitable person quickly. I guess he will get things done before you give birth to the baby." He Tingxi analyzed.
"That's great." Ling Xiyue was overjoyed.
Ling Junqi thought about his job and asked, "Your Highness, what about my job?"
He Tingxi looked at Ling Junqi and said calmly: "From now on, your work location will be changed to here. It will not affect your work. In order to prevent anyone from snooping, I will send two guards to guard outside the yard. No one can enter your room without your permission."
Ling Junqi then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Yes, I was just thinking how boring it would be if I had nothing to do."
"I just have to endure it in front of outsiders and can't move around freely. It has no other impact." He Tingxi smiled.
"Don't feel wronged. If you want to achieve your goal, you must pay the price." Ling Junqi said calmly.
He Tingxi nodded, then he took Ling Xiyue's hand and said to Ling Junqi: "Junqi, you take a rest. I will accompany Xiyue back to the room to rest first."
"Farewell, Your Highness." Ling Junqi said respectfully.
"Brother, you take a rest. I'm going back to my room."
Ling Xiyue followed He Tingxi out of the room.
On the way, Ling Xiyue felt uneasy when she thought about how Ling Junqi's problem was solved so smoothly.
"Tingxi, I don't know why, even though my brother's engagement has been called off, I still feel uneasy in my heart?" Ling Xiyue couldn't help but frown.
Seeing Ling Xiyue's worried look, He Tingxi comforted her: "Don't worry too much, it's not good for your health."
"I know, but I just feel that something bad is going to happen." Ling Xiyue said seriously.
Ling Xiyue's words reminded He Tingxi that the first person he thought of was He Jingcheng.
I also had a bad feeling in my heart.
But in order not to let Ling Xiyue affect his mood, he suppressed his uneasy expression and comforted Ling Xiyue.
"Xiyue, you are about to give birth, so you should focus on your health first. Don't think too much and it will affect your mood. I will take care of everything. You have to believe in my ability."
