C5 The Engagement be Annulled

Her heart was thrown into turmoil, but fortunately, Miss Qin Wan'er still had a lot of words to say to her before. Momo Lee cried out in injustice:

"That's because Eldest Miss wants to comb her phoenix hair bun. This old servant has no choice but to take a step back."

A bun?

Shu's Father felt a wave of fear and slammed the table:

"Scoundrel, what crime should you take?!"

Only the empress could comb the phoenix hair bun. If she were to really go out with it today, forget about Prime Minister's Mansion, even the crown prince might be dismissed.

Gong Wushang pursed his lips and looked at her.

Shu Jingxin felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. Gong Wushang was fine, even as a father, he would rather believe in a servant than a daughter like her.

She hid the pain in her heart and looked at Shu's Father calmly.

"My daughter hasn't even been back to Prime Minister's Mansion for two years, and has yet to be taught how to dress up. How can I know what kind of outfit to put on for what occasion? These costumes were all groomed by maidservant and the others by the side!"

which meant, as the direct daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Momo did not even know about these things, what crime should she be punished for!

maidservant, who had been eavesdropping, was so scared that her face turned pale.

Momo Lee was even more astonished. Not only did this little miss' character become steady, even her words were flawless.

With just a few words, he had completely removed himself from the group, and all the blame was placed on them. Such intelligence was something that even Miss Qin Wan'er might not possess.

Momo Lee kept her shock in check. According to Miss Qin Wan'er's method, she secretly pinched her thigh with her hand as she said with tears in her eyes:

"Eldest Miss, this old servant knows you want to vent your anger, this old servant …" "Just accept it, but don't take your anger out on maidservant and Momo. They still have to wait on you."

maidservant, who was listening outside, was extremely grateful to Momo Lee. She was even more obedient to her, and at the same time, was even less fond of Shu Jing.

Shu Jing's heart however, turned cold. How could Momo Lee say such words. Who else could the one who taught her this? Moreover, Qin Wan'er was the one who had asked Momo Lee to comb her hair into a bun.

"Momo Lee means that I often get angry at you for no reason, right?"

The reason why her reputation in the capital was so bad was because of these rumors she had spread around with her personal guards, maidservant and Momo. After all, this was what made her more convinced.

"Eldest Miss, this old servant definitely doesn't mean that."

Momo Lee quickly waved her hand and her sleeve fell down, revealing the criss-cross bruises on her arm. Then, as if she had done something wrong, she quickly covered the wounds and explained to Gong Wushang by kowtowing.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, our young mistress has never beaten or scolded a servant. We are all servants guilty. Please punish this old servant, His Highness the Crown Prince. Please don't break from our young mistress's kiss."

The moment the obvious scar appeared, Shu's Father and Gong Wushang immediately looked at Shu Jing with sharp eyes.

As expected, it was a good move. Shu Jing's heart skipped a beat.

This Momo Lee was really taught well by Qin Wan'er, and she still kept this move. Momo Lee said that she had never hit her before, but the wounds on her body clearly showed that she was the one who had hit them.

This way, no one would believe her words anymore.

"Alright, you can leave for now. You have nothing to do here."

As expected, Shu's Father clearly knew that the fault lay with Shu Jing. He withdrew his servants with an appearance of being completely humiliated.

Overjoyed, Momo Lee quickly took her leave.

"Yes, master. This old servant will take his leave first. His Highness the Crown Prince and master, please do not blame the big miss."

Shu Jing watched Momo Lee leave with a cold expression. At this moment, Shu's Father said to Gong Wushang,

"His Highness the Crown Prince, you should know about my evil girl. She has only been back at home for a short period of time, and she has indeed not learned the chignon etiquette. I did not mean to offend you, and for my sake, I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can forgive my bad girl."

Shu Jing sneered in her heart. According to her previous life, Gong Wushang wanted to break off the engagement immediately.

And she wouldn't cause trouble for the empress like she did in her previous life.

This kiss was guaranteed.

Gong Wushang's gaze was dark and unfathomable like an ancient pond. Shu Jing met his gaze without any cowardice and looked at her lips that were slightly pursed.

"It seems that the Momo from Prime Minister's Mansion isn't very good at etiquette. Since I still haven't learned Gu Ruoyun's fiancee, I can only personally enter the palace to beg for her mother's help and assign Momo from the palace to teach etiquette. Prime Minister, there shouldn't be any doubts, right?"

Shu Jing's heart sank. What Gong Wushang meant was...
