A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1370 - 1368: Neither of Us Gets to Decide

Seeing that he didn’t continue to respond, she spoke again.

"Master Prince, you are in such high spirits!"

Nan Yunze’s eyebrows furrowed again, the impatience in his heart seemed to have reached its limit.

"County Princess is also in high spirits!"

"Hunting right in front of your fiancé!"

With this comment,

Yilan’s face turned as red as a burning iron.

The last shred of her inner defense was finally breached, her hands relaxed, and the bow and arrow fell down. Her legs felt weak.

But fortunately, she could still stand.

"You..."

She stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"You... you..."

Nan Yunze sneered.

"What’s wrong with me?"

"County Princess Yilan!"

"You, a dignified daughter of a Royal Clan, behave like a common-born?"

"Could you not wait?"

Although he didn’t dislike her personality, he found her behavior impossible to agree with.

She lacked any qualities of a noble lady, and yet was eager to see her fiancé.

If such a woman were brought home, how would she stand in the social circle of Capital City in the future? Wouldn’t she be laughed at by others?

He’s marrying a wife, not taking a concubine, and should focus on choosing someone virtuous and dignified.

From County Princess Yilan, he saw no trace of virtue, making him very disappointed.

Yilan was also very disappointed. She looked at him in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

She, who grew up cherished by her parents and brothers, had never suffered such grievances.

Her eyes quickly reddened.

"You actually..."

She was too tired to pretend anymore and boldly admitted.

"I just wanted to see you once, say a word to you!"

"I don’t want to marry and not know how the other person looks, not even recognize them!"

"Is there any need for such disdain? I haven’t done anything outrageous!"

Nan Yunze was slightly shocked by her honesty.

But due to her personality, her previous actions, and her lack of virtue and gentleness.

He still found it hard to muster any goodwill.

Turning his gaze elsewhere, Nan Yunze stated indifferently.

"It’s not anything outrageous, but it does lack elegance!"

"You are a daughter of the Royal Clan, of noble birth, you should understand that!"

"Considering our impending engagement, I won’t trouble you, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it. You should go back quickly!"

After speaking, he coldly turned away to continue fishing.

Yilan was completely stunned.

Not troubling her, ha! What a great favor!

She didn’t even know how to repay it!

Her heart grew cold, and she too sneered.

"Since Master Prince looks down upon the daughters of the Royal Clan, why agree to engage with me!"

"The news hasn’t been announced yet, everything is still uncertain, you still have room to reconsider!"

Don’t let a Royal Clan daughter taint your family’s grave.

"You can pick whoever you like—someone gentle and dignified, virtuous, magnanimous, and filial—can’t you?"

Nan Yunze said blandly.

"I would like that too, but my mother really likes you!"

"And it seems your mother quite likes me too!"

"Marriage is a matter dictated by parents and matchmakers, neither of us can decide!"

Yilan was about to burst with anger, speaking harshly.

"You..."

"I’ll tell my mother now, I want to annul the engagement!"

She fell in love at first sight, she was willing to give everything, but it didn’t mean she had to suffer humiliation.

Her parents and brothers raised her from childhood not to endure grievances.

Just as she was about to turn around, a voice came from behind.

"By all means, go!"

"When the time comes, everyone will know you secretly came to see me!"

"I won’t lose anything, but you’re different, oh and your parents and brothers too!"

"They would all be mocked for failing to teach their daughter!"

"Would you be satisfied then?"

Yilan was immediately stunned; he was right.

While the marriage between the two families hasn’t been finalized, it’s almost certain. There’s no secret in Capital City that can be hidden; probably everyone already knows.

If engaged is annulled at this moment, when reasons are investigated...

She stared at him furiously, coldly spat out.

"Despicable!"

Nan Yunze faintly smiled.

"County Princess, you are wrong!"

"How am I despicable?"

"I’m not bullying you, nor hurting you, nor am I speaking ill of you in front of others!"

"To the future in-laws, I am respectful and dare not overstep a single boundary!"

"If you marry into my home, I certainly will not let you suffer any grievances! No one in the backyard can overshadow you!"

"I conduct myself upright and properly, in what am I despicable?"

Nan Yunze seemed indifferent.

He was indifferent to the marriage his parents picked for him.

Under the command of parents and matchmakers, he wouldn’t resist, as long as it was someone his mother liked and confirmed, he would marry.

Even now, the County Princess Yilan of not-so-great character and temperament, he had never considered annulling the engagement.

Thus, he felt he was beyond reproach.

But if she wanted to hope for affection, sorry, that’s impossible!

Yilan was utterly infuriated by his twisted logic, but couldn’t think of any rebuttal.

She could only turn her head and leave angrily.

...

Holding back tears, she returned to her residence, throwing herself onto the bed and crying uncontrollably.

The maids were all scared stiff.

"County Princess, what’s wrong with you!"

"County Princess, County Princess!"

The maid who was knocked unconscious by her earlier had now woken up.

The doctor checked and found no major issues, so she continued to serve.

Now she felt both self-blame and pain.

"Had I known, I would have stopped County Princess!"

"What should we do now? Did something happen to you!"

Yilan continued crying without speaking.

The maid panicked and quickly ordered a few little maids.

"Go quickly and invite the Imperial Concubine!"

The little maids responded and were about to leave.

Yilan, crying, stopped them.

"No one is allowed to go!"

The little maids were frightened, looking at the head maid in confusion.

"What to do?"

The head maid thought for a while.

"Quickly go invite the Fourth Princess and Miss Chen!"

This time, Yilan didn’t stop them.

...

Yue Er and Chen Weiyu heard the news and rushed over.

County Princess Yilan was already crying, her eyes red and swollen, her makeup and hairdo disorderly, looking very disheveled.

The two exchanged a glance, dismissed the servants and sat down on her bed.

"What’s wrong?"

"You just went out for half an afternoon, what happened!"

Yue Er asked.

Chen Weiyu was also somewhat worried.

Yilan wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve, speaking harshly.

"I..."

"I went to see Nan Yunze!"

"Ah?!" Yue Er and Chen Weiyu looked shocked.

Though they had guessed earlier, hearing it directly from her was still surprising.

But upon thinking further.

Yilan was inherently outspoken and straightforward, so it wasn’t odd for her to say it.

Yue Er frowned slightly.

"Then why are you like this now?"

"Did he bully you?"

Yilan remained silent.

Chen Weiyu said: "Looks like I guessed right!"

She said fiercely.

"That Nan Yunze is really too much, bullying before even entering the family, if Yilan were to marry over, then what?"
