Chapter 453 Can We Break Off the Engagement?
lying, "Old woman is going to Wu Xuan to fetch Ye Hongzhuang's night makeup. Then, I will find a carriage to personally deliver her to the wilderness outside the city." 。Don't ask me where I took he...Mu Shi heard the incongruity in her words and quickly asked, "Qing Mei, have you encountered something" Ye Qing Mei covered her face with both hands, not crying, but just feeling very sad. 。When Mu finally let go, she saw that her eyes were bloodshot, filled with a despair that seemed to encompass everything. 。 She immediately became flustered, “Child, what on earth happened” 。Ye Qingmei gently spoke, "You said, could my fate be like Yan'er's, with unexpected turns and a blossoming future" Mu Shi's heart skipped a beat. To be like Yan'er... it was the very thing she feared most. 。She knew her Yan'er what she was like, even though she could see her every day, but this Yan'er wasn't her real daughter. 。Although she still treated this child well, in her heart, she knew that this was not her real daughter. 。The thought of losing one daughter already tore her heart apart. If she lost another, she wouldn't have the courage to live on. 。That's not a sudden brightening, that's called being reborn after being placed in death. 。She told Ye Qingmei, “Although it is born, it must die once before it can be formed like that.” 。 。I saw the two of them walk up to a rouge shop. The maid looked inside several times, and Fu Liangzhe asked her if she wanted to go in and buy a few things. 。The maidservant said she didn't have any silver, the rouge at the shop was very expensive, and her six months' allowance wasn't enough to buy even a small jar. 。Fu Liangzhe then said, “Don’t spend your money. I bought it and will give it to you. But if you accept my rouge, from now on, you will have to serve in my house. Although I haven't taken a proper wife yet, it's not easy to take a concubine. But taking a few concubines is no one’s business.” 。I'm twenty years old this year, I can't let myself not take a concubine for three years just because of that woman from the Ye family. Our Fu family doesn't owe her anything from the Ye family. 。The maid blushed immediately and nodded, saying she didn't need a name or title, just being by the young master's side would make her happy. 。The two of them entered the shop, and after a while, they walked out again. By then, the maidservant was already very close to him. 。Fu Liangzhe whispered something in her ear, and the maidservant called him "Husband." 。Fu Liangzhe laughed happily, saying that things are different now compared to before. Back then, with two generals in the Ye family, he had to be more careful. Even taking a concubine, he had to do it secretly, afraid that the eldest lady of the Ye family would be unhappy if she found out. 。Now he has nothing to worry about, because all the generals of the Ye family are dead. The main branch of the Ye family has fallen to the point where they live off the generosity of others and have to look at the second branch's face for everything. Even the most beloved Fourth Miss was robbed of her marriage by the daughter of the second branch. 。Now he has nothing to be afraid of. Let alone a concubine, even if he truly takes a wife, the Ye family wouldn't dare say anything, would they If they dared, he would just break off the engagement. Anyway, he doesn't care about the Ye family anymore. 。"
Ye Qingmei started talking about what she saw yesterday, and as she spoke, hope rose in her. She asked Mu Shi: "Since my brother's marriage has been called off, can mine be called off too Now that grandma is being oppressed by Yan'er, if we propose to break the engagement at this time, wouldn't she dare say much I know that no matter whether breaking an engagement succeeds or not, and no matter what the reason, it is very disadvantageous for the woman." >>> 。But I'm not afraid, Mother. I really don't care about fame. I just want to live a good life and not be with those people. 。"Mother, please help me! I have to go beg Yan'er. Even if I lose all face, I must ask her to help me with this." 。My grandmother clearly wants to scheme against our eldest branch, and I won't let her take me in too. Even if it means shaving my head and becoming a nun, I refuse to marry into the Fu family. 。Mother, you must help me. 。" Mu Shi listened to her words, her heart racing as she quickly analyzed the situation. 。The Fu family is the one the old lady favors. The reason she gave back then was that the Ye family should keep a low profile. Ye Wenyan had already been betrothed to the Sixth Prince, and if the main branch were to marry into another high-ranking family, it would arouse suspicion in the court and the royal family. 。The old woman wouldn't allow the eldest daughter to marry well. The Yu family was of that disposition, and the Fu family was acting in such a manner. Why should she marry her daughter off to them It's true that being a daughter-in-law would be better than marrying someone like this. She couldn't let her daughter suffer, nor could she fulfill the old woman's wishes. 。"This matter, mother will definitely get it done for you" 。"Mu shi gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "There's no need to ask Yan'er, mother can do it for you." 。Don't worry, no matter how harsh people talk after the marriage is annulled, your mother won't send you off to be a spinster. 。Just keep running your clinic. Live your life however you want. Better yet, spend the rest of your sister's life with her. 。"
Night Qingmei was stunned, "Which sister of mine Lianlian or Yan'er How come it hasn't finished"
Mu shi took a sniff and forcibly held back her tears, "I just said that, there's nothing >>>" 。Just live your life peacefully, I'll take care of things on my side. When your uncle brings his new wife home, we'll deal with the Fu family matter. 。Ye Qingmei didn't know what methods the Mu family would use, but she wasn't worried. At least her mother had agreed to break off the engagement and was completely on her side. This gave her psychological comfort. 。Even if this doesn't work out, even if she ultimately still has to marry that person, she wouldn't feel too sad about it. 。After all, since I've made an effort, my family is still moving towards their own path, and that's enough. 。As for what the rest of life will be like, that's all up to fate. 。The next day, finally arrived the day that Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang mother and daughter entered the mansion. 。The night view began to rise very early that day, almost as soon as the sky was just beginning to lighten, Xi Chun got up from her bed. 。She got up, still complaining: "With the new mistress coming in tomorrow, I shouldn't have stayed in your room last night." 。You're being incredibly disrespectful. Not only did you fail to warn me, but you also tried to persuade me to stay. This is an insult to the new mistress of the house and a bad omen. 。"
Xi Chun heard this and without hesitation, knelt down on the bed, half bowing her head and half choking back tears. "It's all my fault, it's because I'm not good enough. I shouldn't have been clinging to my husband all the time. Knowing that the new mistress was entering the house today, I still insisted on keeping him with me last night>>> 。Bodhisattva, with your wisdom and insight, if there is misfortune, please let it befall me. I beg you to take all punishment upon myself, and spare the new wife from any harm. 。“Speaking of which, she leaned closer to Night View Sheng, “My lord, I truly adore you and can’t bear to let go.” 。After the new mistress entered the house, the master will definitely be with her every day. As a concubine, I have no one to rely on in the house, so I can only depend on you, master. 。So, whenever I think about my lord distancing himself from me in the future, my heart aches. 。"
Seeing her act so pitifully, Ye Xing just softened his heart and quickly comforted her: "Alright alright, I didn't mean to blame you, and besides, I never said I wouldn't come back." 。The new wife is pregnant, so you'll still have to attend to her. How could we possibly distance ourselves 。"Now you are my concubine, your status is much higher than before. You have to act like a concubine, understand"
Xichun immediately nodded, "My servant understands, Master rest assured, I will definitely listen to the mistress and the new mistress." 。As she spoke, she got off the bed and began to help Ye Jingsheng put on his clothes and shoes. 。Today's night scene is splendid. From inside to outside, everyone is dressed in red. Although there isn't a happy occasion, the family still sets up a banquet at home. 。And he privately always felt that he had never given Chang Xueqiao a proper wedding, which was very unfair to her. 。Now that I've finally been accepted into the family, I can't celebrate because of a major funeral at home. If I don't put on some red to mark this occasion, it would be too disrespectful to my beloved woman. 。The elderly Master Ye Er, dressed entirely in crimson, walked out of Taiyu Courtyard. He hadn't taken a few steps when he encountered Xiao Sh beyaz. 。The red was so bright that Xiao Shu's eyes hurt. Suddenly, he thought of when she got married years ago. Ye Xing also wore a crimson outfit to pick him up at the Xiao family. He was tall and handsome, with an upright posture. 。Everyone envied her, saying she had married into a good family. But who could have foreseen that decades later, her life would be like this, and their relationship would have reached this point 。Even during a major funeral at home, the master should not wear bright red when welcoming a new wife. 。"Xiao Shu Bai spoke to him with a pale face and no expression, "Furthermore, a concubine is not a legitimate wife. In Bei Qi, only when marrying a legitimate wife can one wear red. A concubine, she doesn't deserve it." 。 "Shut up!" Ye Jian really pissed Xiao Shu Bai off, "What color I wear has nothing to do with you. Whether it's a proper funeral or not is the Night family's business, an outsider like you shouldn't talk so much! And you don't need to use Northern Qi law to pressure me. Take a good look at my clothes, they are just red, they are not a wedding robe" 。"I want to wear this color today, what's it to you"He finished speaking, let out a snort, pushed Xiao Shubei aside, and strode towards the front yard. 。Xi Chun followed behind, and when she passed Xiao Shuang Bai, she laughed and rolled her eyes. 。Xiao Shǔbái wasn't angry, her face remained unchanged, she simply told Jǐnshù: "Since he is heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. What will happen today, Yèjìngshèng can't escape either!"w steps, circled around Madam Ye several times, and then listened to him shout loudly: "No wonder the celestial chart on the second day of the first lunar month showed that an evil spirit blocked the...
