Li hated Ning Yue to the core, and was extremely uncomfortable to hear that her beloved daughter's biological mother had suddenly been replaced by Ning Yue.

But for the sake of her daughter's future, Li had no choice but to grit her teeth, swallow her bitterness, and nod with a smile.

"Yes, although Aunt Ning and I had some past grievances, my child died unexpectedly after I gave birth, so I simply took her in. In a way, it's like we have a mother-daughter bond."

Yan Xi didn't respond immediately. He looked at the Sang family of three for a moment, then suddenly asked about something else.

"Excuse me, how many children does Mr. Sang have?"

"Why does the Crown Prince ask that?"

"curious."

Yanxi's words were concise and to the point.

Sang Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Li Shi before speaking.

"If you include the one whose wife died young, there are a total of seven sons, five daughters and two sons. The boys are all doing business far away from Jiangnan."

Yan Xi nodded. "Mm."

After replying with that sentence, he said nothing more.

The atmosphere froze again. Sang Ling, standing in front of him, felt embarrassed and aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Sang Chengfeng was also baffled by the other party's unpredictable temperament, and was just about to change the subject by talking about eating.

A guard hurried out and whispered a few words in Yan Xi's ear. Yan Xi suddenly stood up and gave Sang Chengfeng an apologetic look.

"I apologize for my intrusion, Master Sang, but I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot accompany you this time. I will certainly visit you with generous gifts to apologize when I have time tomorrow."

After saying that, he didn't give Sang Chengfeng a chance to react and strode away.

Inside the house, only the Sang family of three remained.

Sang Chengfeng was stunned by this turn of events, and Sang Ling couldn't hold back her tears of grievance. She threw herself into Li's arms and cried bitterly.

"Mother, does the young master not like me?"

Sang Ling was heartbroken, and all thoughts of Pan Lang vanished the moment she saw Prince Jing'an.

She had never seen such a handsome man. The thought of becoming his wife made Sang Ling's heart pound like a drum, and her eyes were filled with infatuation.

She had even thought about what to name her and Prince Jing'an's future child.

Sang Ling was full of anticipation and ready to spend time with the other person, but what she got in return was such a blow. No wonder she was heartbroken.

Madam Li was also somewhat bewildered by this turn of events. Seeing her usually domineering and spoiled daughter crying her eyes out, she felt heartbroken and even harbored some resentment towards Prince Jing'an for leaving without a word.

But Li was more thoughtful than Sang Ling. She patted Sang Ling's back to comfort her, while looking at Sang Chengfeng with concern.

"Master, has the young master discovered something?"

Sang Chengfeng was also pondering Yan Xi's unusual behavior, and shook his head when he heard Li's words.

"It shouldn't be."

Given Prince Jing'an's status, if the other party really knew, they would probably just lead their men and storm into the mansion. Why waste time pretending to be friendly with them?

Hearing Sang Chengfeng's explanation, Li couldn't help but frown.

"If it's not because of this, then why... could it be that the young master looks down on Ling'er?"

Otherwise, what other reason could there be to turn around and leave without even eating?

Sang Ling was struck dumb upon hearing this. She cried even louder and, disregarding everything else, clung to Li's clothes, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Mother, the young master doesn't like me, what should I do? Didn't we agree to a marriage contract? Does the young master intend to break it off...?" Sang Ling's eyes were brimming with tears, but before she could finish speaking, Li Shi covered her mouth and scolded her in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you just say things like that?"

They say walls have ears, and if someone overhears what they're doing, they could lose their heads.

Sang Chengfeng also frowned, looking over with displeasure.

"Prince Jing'an enjoys a stellar reputation in the capital, and everyone knows he keeps his promises. How could this engagement be called off so easily!"

"Then what was the explanation for what just happened?"

Sang Ling choked up and shed tears. Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, Sang Chengfeng couldn't help but soften his tone and comfort her.

"The young master had previously sent someone to mention the token, and he must have come to the banquet for that token as well. I was so focused on introducing it that I forgot to explain. He must be leaving because of that, not because of you."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ling's broken heart immediately recovered somewhat. She wiped away her tears, and her desire to be with Yan Xi reached its peak.

She turned to look at Li, her eyes resolute.

"Mother, let's go back to the manor now and have Sang Huan bring out the token and explain it to the young master!"

Seeing Sang Ling's sudden change in attitude, Li's eyes flickered as she looked at Sang Chengfeng.

"Master, this..."

"Alright, let's go back to the manor first."

With no other options at the moment, Sang Chengfeng could only return to his residence to retrieve the token.

The banquet ended abruptly because Prince Jing'an left first. The Sang couple lost their appetite, and Sang Ling, whose heart was filled with thoughts of the prince, also couldn't eat. She simply dragged her mother and hurriedly returned to the mansion.

She planned to personally seek out Sang Huan to retrieve the token, hoping to reconcile with her Prince Jing'an.

On the other side, Yan Xi was riding her horse toward the inn where she was staying.

The shadowy figure beside him couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, why were you putting on an act in front of the Sang family just now?"

This morning he was completely captivated by that Sang family girl, saying she was going to be the future Crown Prince's wife. How come he turned on her the moment he saw her at noon? It's really strange.

"It wasn't her."

"What? Oh, isn't this the person you met this morning?"

"Um."

Tianxiang Tower was not far from their inn, only about a mile away. Yan Xi quickened her pace, dismounted when she arrived at the inn, handed the horse to the guards waiting at the door, and strode upstairs.

"Shadow, bring the portrait your mother gave you to my room."

"Okay, sure."

Shadow moved swiftly; just as Yan Xi sat down in her room, he climbed in through the window.

He unfurled the scroll, and a beautiful woman appeared lifelike on it.

Yan Xi took it, lowered her eyes for a moment, and then sneered.

The Sang family is incredibly audacious!

They even came up with the idea of ​​impersonating someone else!

Seeing his expression suddenly darken, Shadow's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. "Master, what's this?"

Yan Xi closed the scroll in her hand and threw it back to Shadow's hand. Her dark, deep eyes were filled with a cold, menacing look as if a storm was brewing.

"Give the order to investigate whether Sang Chengfeng's family situation is true!"

Shadow rarely showed anger, and seeing this, his heart sank, and his ominous premonition grew stronger.

Just as he was about to agree, Yan Xi suddenly turned around, her voice low and gloomy.

"Furthermore, immediately send people to monitor the Sang family, especially that Li woman. Report any unusual activity immediately!"

"promise!"
