When He Yan was kicked out of the He Mansion, he only took one step and looked back three times. It was obvious that he still had infinite attachment to this family relationship.
After Chen Yan came out of He's Mansion, she couldn't help but look back at the man beside her. Seeing He Yan's reluctant look, Chen Yan couldn't help but said to He Yan, "He Yan, you don't still miss them, do you?" ?”
He Yan seemed to feel a little embarrassed when Chen Yan said this directly. He turned around without saying a word.
Chen Yan only felt that He Yan was a bit honest and kind, so she couldn't help but kindly said, "I can see that your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't actually regard you as a relative, otherwise they wouldn't treat you like that. Sometimes some people You can't call someone a relative just because they have the same blood flowing through them. Since they have no affection for you, why should you waste everything you have on trying to please these people?"
"In the final analysis, people have to make their own way in this life, not to mention that you have made it this far, and it will only get better and better in the future. If you really value feelings, you can definitely find some people like you. You Be good to others. If others are good to you, this is the healthy development of a relationship."
He Yan still looked dull after hearing this. He lowered his head, and Chen Yan didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing his appearance, Chen Yan didn't say anything more. After all, talking too much about many things might be counterproductive, so at the moment, she just took the initiative to hand over the key she got from the master of the He family to He. Yan.
"I'll give you this, and this box. Wherever you live now, I'll have someone carry it to you. If you find a time to carry it to my house, just say you just break off the engagement. As for any reason, you can make up any reason. That’s all, I think my father won’t make things too difficult for you.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Yan didn't say much. He seemed a little silent at the moment.
Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you say anything? Are you going back on your word?"
Upon hearing Chen Yan's unreliable guess, He Yan could not help but wave his hands immediately and said, "No, no, I have no regrets!"
Seeing what He Yan said, Chen Yan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered to herself, "It's okay if I don't have it. You know, I'm a face-control person. To be honest, I already have someone I like." Although he and I may not be able to be together, I still want to be with someone who looks good."
He Yan originally wanted to talk, but after hearing what Chen Yan said, he obviously didn't understand Chen Yan's feelings.
After all, in his opinion, when it comes to marriage, shouldn't this woman want to be a couple for the rest of her life?
How come when it comes to Chen Yan's mouth, this relationship can become fleeting, and the person you love can still be with someone else.
However, He Yan is a person with a strong sense of boundaries. Although he cannot understand Chen Yan, he also feels that it is best not to say this to Chen Yan.
So he just chose not to get involved in Chen Yan's words.
Fortunately, after Chen Yan sighed for a moment, she just brought the topic back, "By the way, do you have any concerns about breaking off the engagement?"
Facing Chen Yan's questions, He Yan just looked embarrassed.
"I do have some concerns," he whispered.
"Didn't my brother and sister-in-law use the contents in that box? I'm wondering how I can get back the things they took away."
Upon hearing He Yan's words, Chen Yan immediately sneered, "You still want to get the things back? Don't be stupid, they have probably pawned those things a long time ago. I don't even want the things back, you idiot must be It’s even less likely to come back.”
"Then what if I can't replenish that box of things?"
Upon hearing that He Yan was worried about this, Chen Yan immediately waved her hand and said, "So you are worried about that, then you don't have to worry."
He Yan looked at Chen Yan blankly and said, "Why?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Because it's impossible for our family to count them. Just listen to me and just return these two things."
However, when He Yan heard this, he immediately said, "That won't work. How can I fool others just because I can't make up for it."
Then He Yan only looked at Chen Yan seriously and said, "Tell me where you bought those things. I will use my salary to make up for it for you."
Upon hearing He Yan's words, Chen Yan burst into laughter, "You are such a fool! Can those things be fixed by just asking for them?"
He Yan heard this and immediately said, "I can borrow it."
"Borrow?" Chen Yan seemed to have learned a new vocabulary, and then she suddenly burst into laughter.
He Yan looked at Chen Yan with some confusion, "Why are you laughing?"
Chen Yan immediately said, "I laughed at you for borrowing money to pay off this bad debt. Who are you going to borrow from? How to borrow it? How are you going to pay it back, and will it take you a lifetime to pay it back?"
He Yan didn't like Chen Yan smiling like this. That smile seemed to be laughing at a fool.
Chen Yan looked at He Yan and said, "He Yan, let me tell you this, those pair of golden pots cost one hundred taels of silver. I remember your salary is thirty taels of silver a month, right? Renting a house in the capital is especially close to the central area. The house is certainly not cheap, at worst it will cost you ten taels of silver to move up! You are single now, and you will need about ten taels of silver to eat out for a month. If you spend more to socialize with friends, then you will not have any money left at all. What kind of money?"
He Yan didn't expect that Chen Yan knew these things so clearly. He was somewhat surprised. After all, the rich ladies in Beijing were all aloof. They lived in a golden cage built by the upper class, so they didn't know The life of the people below is difficult.
However, this Chen Yan seems to be completely different from them. She is obviously a rich young lady, but she can still understand the lives of these ordinary people.
This feeling only gave her a momentary sense of fragmentation.
In response to Chen Yan's guess, He Yan nodded silently, and then he just whispered, "But I can also move away from there and save money later. If I save ten taels a month, it's still no problem."
Upon hearing what He Yan said, Chen Yan immediately laughed out loud.
When He Yan looked at her without any mistakes, Chen Yan couldn't help but whispered, "He Yan, what I just said was the price of a pair of gold pots. There are other things I didn't tell you. Those things." The price is more expensive than a golden pot. How do you plan to pay it back or borrow it? Who can lend you a thousand taels of silver without changing their expression? I'm still waiting for you to break off the engagement."
He Yan couldn't help but take a breath when he heard Chen Yan's words. This was simply a price he couldn't imagine.
Indeed, everything was just like what Chen Yan said. He couldn't afford to pay back the money, and he couldn't find anyone to lend him the money.
Even for the prince Zhao Chengyuan, I am afraid that if he borrows a sum of money from his own treasury and lends it to him, he will only be able to come up with a few hundred taels of silver, and if he has to make up the remaining shortfall, wouldn't it cost him his life?
So He Yan was obviously in some kind of helplessness.
Chen Yan originally didn't want to ask He Yan to fill in.
After all, this thing didn't belong to He Yanhua in the first place. Now she didn't want to argue with that flower over her brother and sister-in-law of the He family, let alone the more honest He Yan.
So she just continued, "So, don't worry about this matter. My dad won't check this anyway. As for you, just pretend you don't know anything. Even if my dad thinks of checking this on a whim, he won't." You would never have thought of this. So just do what I say."
However, even though Chen Yan was so persuasive, she didn't want He Yan to be a fool, but she still said, "I will make up for these things, just give me some time."
Hearing He Yan's words, Chen Yan immediately said angrily, "How do you make up for it? How long will it take? If you make up for it for decades, don't I have to wait for you for decades?"
He Yan immediately said, "I can borrow it."
Hearing He Yan's words, Chen Yan waved her hands impatiently and said, "You don't need to return this thing in the first place, why are you so stubborn!"
He Yan didn't say anything when Chen Yan said it.
And Chen Yan has also seen that this person is a stubborn donkey, and she has never been stubborn like a stubborn donkey.
Therefore, she only proposed her own method at the moment.
"Well, since you plan to borrow it, instead of borrowing it from my employer and borrowing it from my employer, you might as well lend it to me. Anyway, just pay it back slowly. Don't starve yourself to death. I don't have any problem with you paying it back for the rest of your life."
He Yan obviously still didn't understand, "Is this appropriate?"
"If it's not suitable, just wait until next month to marry me." Chen Yan said unceremoniously.
Hearing Chen Yan's words, He Yan finally compromised.
After all, this marriage must not be concluded. Since His Highness the Prince has hinted at himself, there must be some bad consequences.
So He Yan whispered, "Okay then, I'll do as you say."
And Chen Yan didn't think the money was valuable, so after giving He Yan a thousand tael of silver, she just told He Yan again, "He Yan, after you finish making up these things, remember to come to my house right away. I don't want our The engagement has been delayed for too long.”
He Yan heard this, although he was silent, he nodded cooperatively.
…
In the small hall in the middle of the lake on the other side, several women were standing together, drinking tea and talking about their parents' shortcomings.
They were dressed luxuriously and looked like official wives.
The tall and thin lady sitting in the middle only turned to look at the woman on her left and said, "Mrs. Chen, I still envy you. Your children's marriages have been taken care of, and even your youngest daughter Chen Yan has her own destiny." .”
"Unlike my daughter, who is very arrogant and looks down on ordinary families. She insists on going to Lu Zhizhang to propose marriage, and she falls in love with him, but he doesn't want to think about whether he can fall in love with her?"
Hearing the wife of the Minister of Justice complaining about her daughter, Chen Yan's mother just said in a low voice, "Madam, I don't know, but my daughter is also reluctant. This is because we forced her, so we reluctantly talked about this marriage." , and as long as I don’t marry her off and let him calm down, I actually feel very uneasy, after all, my daughter has a very bad personality.”
