After the whole incident, Ming Mei escorted Jin Ling who was carried back to his room and treated by some physicians.
Upon stepping out to get some ginseng tea from the kitchen, Ming Mei ran into Li Wei, the third prince.
Still angry, Ming Mei only bowed slightly, ready to leave but was stopped by him.
"I wonder why you are angry with me, don't forget I was also a victim of the incident."
He declared as he stared at her with a rather weak and apologetic gaze and upon hearing his words, Ming Mei sighed slightly.
"Your highness, don't get me wrong but you of all people should have been the one to defend Brother in-law. After all he was the one who saved you, despite the fact that he was also a victim yet you kept quiet and watched my mother slander him like that!"
Ming Mei muttered, slightly angry, "I know that i should have said something but everything happened so fast, I Didn't know how to react. And as for Jin Ling, he saved me and I will truly reward him for that."
"However you reward him is non of my business, I'll take my leave now your highness," she said ready to leave but was stopped once more by Li Wei.
"Wait! Umm.. about our engagement, I-i was thi-"
"Ah! Thank you for reminding me about that your highness. Actually I was meaning to inform you that I would like to call off our engagement." She declared leaving Li Wei shocked and taken aback.
"W-what do you mean by that? C-call of our engagement? How would you do that."
She shouted slightly angry but Ming Mei kept a calm smile.
"Yes your highness, I've thought things through and I'm Just twelve.. What possibly could I know about marriage so I hope his highness can understand and let us call off the engagement because I plan to get married in at least ten more years to come!"
She stated as Li Wei shouted, "How dare you say that!? Just a month ago you were begging my mother to have you engaged to me and now you act this way! Are you insulting my mother and family?"
Placing her head down, Ming Mei replied, "I won't dare to do such but your highness since it was I who was begging it would be easier to call off the engagement. I hope your highness isn't too annoyed?"
Hearing that, Li Wei just scoffed as he turned around and left and with him gone, Ming Mei just sighed.
'As expected, he won't want to let go of Ming Mei so easily but I'll make him pay a little after all he Did make the villainess suffer in some way that was even wrong to the point that got readers to hate him.. '
Turning around, Ming Mei Left straight for the kitchen.

Hidden at the side of a tree was a young man dressed in a servant uniform.
And before him was a slender female although her face couldn't be seen, her voice was still quite familiar.
Pa!
The servant was slapped in the face by a female servant.
"Lain, that's enough!" Said Ming Xia as she looked at him with an intense gaze.
"M-my lady, W-what did I do wrong? I already did the task I was given.. I pushed his Highness into the well and the young-"
"That's exactly what you did wrong, you imbecile!" She shouted slightly.
"You were only supposed to push the third prince but instead you pushed
brother -in-law along with him, you completely messed up the plan.. how stupid are you?"
She questioned angrily as the servant shivered slightly.
"I-i was wrong M-my lady please forgive my mistake," he begged as he bowed slightly.
Sighing, Ming Xia then threw out a pouch filled with money, "That's your payment, you must leave the mansion immediately, I don't want to hear from you ever again!"
She commanded as he immediately nodded and fled from there.
"My lady, what are we going to do now? The plan was completely ruined by that servant.. now the young master probably likes the third Missy more!"
Lian commented but her words only made the Ming Xia grudge grow stronger.
"Enough, the plan isn't complete yet.. we still have plan B, let's see how she's gonna get past that one.. quick go get the maid!"
She instructed as she then turned around and left. With lain out and about to do what she was told.
Unknowingly to her, hidden behind the bushes was no one other than the victim of her vicious scheme.
With her hands clenched together, Ming Mei whispered, "So all this was your doing Ming Xia? I won't let you go freely!"
