CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 691, PRINCELY HEIR BREAKS OFF THE ENGAGEMENT

Yun Jinnian heard the words and slightly lifted his head, locking eyes with Mrs. Han as he curved his beautiful lips, "Mother, you tell me!"

"I can’t explain it all in a moment!" Mrs. Han took a deep breath.

"Mother, rest assured, I have a plan!"

Mrs. Han held Yun Jinnian’s hand, "It’s just unfair to you!"

"It’s not a hardship!"

Being able to leave the Yun Residence, sever ties with those people from the Yun Family, and from then on not having to care about their lives or deaths—what was a bit of suffering in the process?

"I’ll listen to whatever you say!"

Yun Jinnian smiled, "I’ve said I would protect Mother. Just be happy and cooperate, that’s all!"

"Alright!"

The New Year was approaching, and every household was busy preparing their New Year’s goods.

Inside the Prince Rui Residence

Chu Yu slouched on the chaise longue without any proper posture.

On one side, Chu Renzhi sipped tea while speaking, "Dear royal uncle, please help me!"

"Help you? Who told you to provoke Miss Chen of the Chen Family in the first place? Now that you don’t want to marry her, I can’t help you!" Chu Yu said, tossing a peanut into his mouth.

Without Yun Jinnian, Chu Yu felt that life lacked much of its enjoyment.

Especially since the annoying Zhou Yunshen was still living in Capital City, stubbornly refusing to return to the Great Zhou Kingdom, which infuriated him even more.

"At that time, wasn’t I young and frivolous? But now, I’ve met my true love, so..."

Chu Yu threw a handful of peanuts at Chu Renzhi, "True love, a courtesan is your true love? Chu Renzhi, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"

"Dear royal uncle..." Chu Renzhi exclaimed in shock.

He couldn’t dodge in time and could only let the peanuts roll off his head onto the floor.

"You dislike her that much? You’ve met your true love? After you break off your engagement with Miss Chen, what do you plan on doing with your true love? Marry her as your wife or take her as a concubine?"

"This..." Chu Renzhi hesitated.

Chu Yu looked at him and said, "I’m telling you, with your behavior, you’re not worthy of Miss Chen. Get out, I’ll go find Elder Chen soon and have the Chen Family break off the engagement!"

Chu Renzhi hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, dear royal uncle!"

Chu Yu, looking at Chu Renzhi, sighed, "Treating feelings with such irresponsibility, one day you will regret passing up a good girl, and one day you will understand why I threw these at you today."

He waved his hand, "Get out!"

An unfeeling and unrighteous man, even if he was his nephew, wasn’t worth a second glance.

Upon hearing this, Chu Renzhi felt an emptiness in his heart.

But he truly didn’t want to get married and felt that after marriage, having someone to control him would be unbearable.

He left the Prince Rui Residence sluggishly.

Chu Renzhi didn’t know what was wrong with himself and didn’t rush to leave.

Waiting in the alley, he watched Chu Yu get on the carriage to the Elder Residence, and only then did Chu Renzhi start to feel a little panicked.

Without any reason, he felt as though he had lost something important.

Chu Yu arrived at the Elder Residence, where Elder Chen personally received him.

"Prince Rui!"

"Elder!"

Chu Yu held great respect for Elder Chen.

And Chen Danyan, whom he had also met, was indeed a very fine young woman.

Renzhi was foolish.

"Why has Prince Rui come today?"

"It’s about the annulment between Renzhi and Miss Chen."

Outside the room, Chen Danyan, carrying a tray, had deliberately come over to inquire about Yun Jinnian from Chu Yu. But hearing Chu Yu mention her, she felt it inappropriate to enter the room.

She stood at the doorway, waiting.

"Please speak, Your Highness," said Elder Chen, who was advanced in years and had seen much of life. He could tell by Chu Yu’s hesitance that the matter was probably troubling.

"Renzhi, he..." Chu Yu licked his lips and finally said earnestly, "Elder, Miss Chen is a lady of grace and virtue, a rare jewel. In the future, many will wish to seek her hand in marriage!"

Elder Chen suddenly stood up, "Is this your intention, Your Highness? Or the intention of the Princely Heir?"

"Renzhi’s intention!"

Having spoken, Chu Yu lowered his head.

The damned brat, when he gets back, he won’t be coming out of bed for three days!
