Chapter 362: Accomplishing You, Revoking the Engagement

t a single tree left." 。"Yan'er, why are you looking for plum blossoms in Mei Yuan" She made up a lie: "I know a prescription that requires plum blossoms as an ingredient. It doesn't matter if the tr...Seeing Jiang Wanting raise her head and gulp down a mouthful of wine, Chi Feifei tugged at Ye Wenyan's sleeve and leaned closer, whispering to her: "I can tell you're not feeling well lately. Although I don't know what's wrong, I bet it has something to do with your brother." 。"Ye Wen listened and frowned. She had long seen through Jiang Wanting's thoughts, but last time at the Jiang residence, Madam Jiang's attitude made her hesitate, unsure whether to support or oppose this wave." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。Chi Fei Fei: "Actually, your brother and Wan Ting are really a match made in heaven. Your family and the Jiang family have been close friends for generations, so if they were to get together, it would truly be a perfect union." 。It's just that the Ye family holds military power and the Jiang family controls the Ministry of Punishment. Both sides have concerns and fear that if they marry, they will be targeted and suppressed by the court. That's why your grandmother took charge and arranged a marriage with the Yu family for your older brother. 。“I listen to my parents and Wan Ting, but I also have my own analysis.” 。She pulled on Ye Wenyan's arm, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Why do I always feel like this is actually a scheme by your grandmother What's the matter with fearing the court Those words are all your grandmother's. I remember that when the old general was alive, he didn't have so many worries." 。If he were truly concerned, he wouldn't have allowed your father to join the army. 。" Yè Wényán felt that her analysis was right! Jiang Wǎntíng had already drunk two large bowls of wine. Although the alcohol content of this era's wine wasn't particularly high, she was a young lady who didn't usually drink. To suddenly drink so much like this, it would be strange if she wasn't drunk. " 。Seeing that Jiang Wanting was a bit unsteady, Ye Wenyan quickly called out to Chi Feifei: "Let's eat quickly, if we don't eat soon, we'll have to send her home on an empty stomach. Come on, one bite at a time." 。The two of them ate in silence, accompanied by Jiang Wanting's mumbled words, and finally managed to fill themselves up about eight points. 。He just wanted to get the drunk home as soon as possible! Ye Wenyan even considered using a magic spell to sober Jiang Wanting up, so she wouldn't be scolded when she got home. 。At this time, someone pushed the door open and she saw that it was Ji Rong. 。"Master, the young master has been invited by the eldest Miss Yu..." 。"Ji Rong came up and said only that sentence, which actually made her stunned." 。"Elder Sister Yu" Ye Wenyan glanced at Chi Feifei, then at Jiang Wanting. He thought to himself, this Elder Sister Yu really couldn't stop thinking about her. They had only spoken a few words just now, and she appeared as if on cue. 。"Master, would you like to go and take a look Although Eldest Miss Yu no longer resides in the Yu Mansion and has had no contact with the people there, this sudden summons of the Young Master leaves me guessing. I simply came to inform Master." 。"

Ye Wen nodded. "I'll take a look, you send Jiang Jie home" 。"I'm not going home! I'm going too!" Jiang Wanting, who was dazed just a moment ago, seemed to have woken up a bit. She stopped swaying and opened her eyes, arguing with Ye Wenyan for her right to go — "I have to go on this trip!" 。You always told me in the past to fight for my own things and not wait for others to feed me. That would be too passive. What if they don't feed me Wouldn't I starve So I have to grab the bowl and eat myself, no one can depend on... 。Yè Wēn yán knew that arguing with a drunk was pointless, and since letting her tag along wouldn't hurt, he nodded. 。A few people took a carriage all the way to the north of the inner city, where Mrs. Hai and Yu Xuanji now reside. 。The house wasn't large or imposing, certainly not comparable to the former Yu Residence, but for the two of them, it was cozy and refined. 。When they arrived, Ye Feiyu was just getting there too. After all, it was still a long way from General's Mansion to the Hundred Perfumes incense shop, so when Hai Fu-ren personally came to open the door, she saw not only Ye Feiyu but also a whole bunch of people. 。She wasn't surprised either, just said: "It's good that you all came. Let's bear witness together. It will be even better in the future." 。Ye Feiyu frowned, first looking at Ye Wenyan as if she wanted to speak to her, but before she could, she caught sight of Jiang Wanting being supported by Chi Feifei. 。The smell of alcohol was still lingering, which made his two brows furrow even tighter. 。"Come in and talk!" Mrs. Hai ushered the person into the house, all the way to the front hall. 。The front hall was very crowded. They had all come in and filled the room, chairs just barely enough. 。Then the people stood in the outer courtyard, none speaking, waiting to see what business Madam Hai and her daughter had. 。Yu Xuánjī was also present. She wore simple, plain clothes and had lost a lot of weight. 。But thankfully, his mental state is quite good. He looks more energetic than before. Seeing so many guests, he's cheerful and busy pouring tea for everyone. He even found a cushion for Jiang Wanting to lean on the chair comfortably. 。The hangover soup was also made by Hai Fu Ren herself. She let it cool for a while in the yard before sending it to Jiang Wan Ting, where it was just the right temperature to drink. 。Jiang Wanting felt a little embarrassed. After she sobered up, she felt that she shouldn't have come and started to pack her things to leave. 。Yefeiyu patted her, and then pressed her back into the chair. He said, "Since Madam Hai is here and willing to be a witness, Jiang Jie should stay for a while so that we can all hear what Madam Hai has in mind." 。“ Jiang Wanting stayed behind, Chi Feifei also stayed behind. Seeing that everyone had settled down, Yu Xuanji stood up and bowed to Ye Feiyu, saying, “Please give me one hundred taels of silver, Young Master Feiyu!” People were stunned. How could she ask for money as soon as she came Yu Xuanji continued, "The night Yu Die went to cause trouble, I had already returned the marriage certificate and betrothal gift. Our engagement is considered dissolved.” 。Since the young master Feiyu took pity on me, if I sever ties with the Yu family, our engagement will still be valid. 。But I don't want to count anymore. Today, I'm asking Feiyu Young Master for one hundred taels of silver. With so many people here as witnesses, if I take the silver, it'll be considered compensation, and we'll owe each other nothing. There will be no further ties between us. 。“ Night Flying Jade said nothing. He just stared at Yu Xuanji for a long time, until Yu Xuanji thought he didn't want to give her the silver, or that he thought one hundred taels was too much, and she wanted to take the initiative to reduce it, when he finally opened his mouth and asked her, “Was this your own idea, or your mother's Or did someone else suggest it to you” Yu Xuanji shook her head. "No one gave me any suggestions. This was my own idea." 。I know one hundred taels is no small sum, but for the Ye family it shouldn't be considered much. 。I'm a girl, and it was my family who first proposed the betrothal. It happened quite suddenly, and this engagement has had some impact on me. 。So I'm asking you for one hundred taels, as compensation from your family for my troubles. 。Moreover, my mother and I have already packed our luggage. We will be leaving Lin'an tomorrow to live in another province. 。“She took a deep breath and spoke in one long rush, then took another deep breath and smiled, ‘Once I go out of province, no one will know me. No one will know about my past engagement. I can start my new life and meet someone who’s more suitable for me.’ ” 。< Fei Yu Young Master, thank you for these past years of not looking down on me and keeping to our marriage contract > 。If it weren't for the great loss in your family, we might have already been married. 。She sniffed, although she was smiling, her voice was tinged with a hint of bitterness. 。"Flying Jade Young Master is the best person I've ever met. I once yearned for the life we would have after marriage, and even now, I am deeply regretful, even a little heartbroken." 。But please believe me, I won't give up on my future because of this, and I won't wallow in sorrow and live a miserable life. 。Just like what I just said, I also have a yearning for a new life and expectations for my future husband, but this city of Lin'an... I never want to stay here again. 。She lowered her head, twisting her hands in front of her, slightly nervous but also very determined. 。The Sea Lady kept smiling, listening to her daughter's words. She watched her daughter's stubbornness and strength, and she also watched Ye Feiyu stand up, let out a long sigh, and even reached out to gently pat Yu Xuanji's shoulder twice. 。Yu Xuanji sniffled again, but still no tears came. Instead, she lifted her head and broke into a brilliant smile. 。Yu's eldest sister wasn't considered very attractive, at most one could say she was pretty. 。But the smile at this moment carried a unique charm particular to women. Ye Wen knew that it marked the beginning of an independent woman's transformation, a symbol of Yu Xuanji truly shedding her shackles and being reborn. 。"Accomplish you" 。"Nightfly Jade, I'm breaking off our engagement. Let this be a true farewell." 。"

Yu Xuanji bowed, "Thank you!"

Because there was no preparation beforehand, the silver was brought back by the servant.

" 。Ye Feiyu gave Yu Xuanji one hundred taels of silver as compensation for the broken engagement, and also as spending money for her and her mother to go far away to another province. 。Besides, there were another five hundred taels of silver notes as a private gift. 。Yu Xuanji took 。On the way back, I first sent Chi Fei Fei off. When Jiang Wanting arrived home, the carriage was also returned to the Jiang family. 。Ye Wenyan moved to sit in Ye Feiyu's carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, just to see Jiang Wanting standing at the gate of the mansion, her eyes following the carriage all the way until it turned a corner and disappeared from view. 。She lowered the curtains and tugged on Yè Fēiyù, "Brother has been silent ever since he came out from Lady Hai's place. What is he thinking about"Yè Fēiyù honestly replied, "I was thinking, maybe in a year or two, if I met Xiān Jī on the streets of an outer province, I might not even recognize her." 。id, "Don't be impatient, I'm almost dead. Perhaps heaven has mercy on me and wants me to see my daughter one last time, that's why it let me live a few more hours..." 。It's also possible that it was...
