Tian family.
As Tian Yuan walked by, there were endless jeers and whispers.
The girl seemed to be walking on a stage, being watched and pointed at.
When the college exam was approaching last month, she went to the temple to burn a stick of incense and worshiped Wenxian Bodhisattva, hoping that her future husband would go to high school. But at this moment... what she did before became a joke. .
After her mother died, she thought that there would be no more pain or sadness in this life.
But at this moment, her "thinking" was broken.
Her face was expressionless, but her heart felt like it was being stabbed by Ling Chi, with blood flowing across it and scars everywhere.
She had placed extremely high hopes on that boy, and he was also her best destination.
She needed that boy.
Really needed.
And that boy should also need her.
These days, she has even begun to study the Li family's industries carefully, thinking about how to help her husband's family make these industries bigger, stronger, and better.
but now...
Tian Yuan came to the living room, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, endured the discomfort in her heart, and walked in.
The head of the Tian family said: "Tian Yuan, do you know everything?"
Tian Yuan said calmly: "I know."
The head of the Tian family asked, "Then do you have anything else to say?"
Tian Yuan looked at the steward of the Li family and said politely: "I gave Mr. Li a flounder jade pei before. The jade pei was a gift from my mother and she said she would give it to my future husband.
Since this is the case, I also ask Mr. Li to return the jade Pei.
Also, this scroll was given to me by Mr. Li. Yuan did not dare to accept it anymore, so she asked the steward to return it on her behalf, and then the two parties would be settled. "
The manager of the Li family said: "I will tell you when my eldest young master comes back."
Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment. At first, she thought that Young Master Li had returned to the county, but she just didn't want to come to Tian's house to break the engagement in person. But now... with her intelligence, she quickly thought of another possibility.
But thinking about it, she still laughed to herself.
So what if it wasn't Li Xuan's decision?
It's just that Mr. Li and his wife made the best choice for their son.
Li Xuan, how could he resist?
The thought flashed across her mind, and the girl took out the writing scroll, handed it to the steward, and said, "Thank you for that."
Then, she stood there, feeling like she was enduring the hottest torture every minute and every second.
I don't know how long it took, but it was finally over. She walked out of the living room, raising her head and trying hard to smile, but she clearly...clearly...wanted to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."
Tian Yuan murmured, her eyes widened, the corners of her lips raised, and she smiled.
It wasn't until she returned to her house that she lowered her head and the tears couldn't stop rolling down, soaking her clothes and staining her cheeks.
...
...
Noon the next day.
Four fast horses and two carriages entered Xiongshan County from the west gate and arrived at Li's house.
As soon as Li Xuan got out of the car, he saw everyone's smiles and respect.
The maids and servants looked at him with admiration.
Mr. Li immediately called his son to the study, and the eldest lady was also in the study.
The two people exchanged greetings and couldn't help being happy.
As we chatted, the topic of marriage naturally came up.
Mr. Li and the eldest lady looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, you are talented and a young hero. There is a better woman in the world for you. Your mother and I made a decision to help you cancel the marriage. .”
After he finished speaking, he found that his son suddenly became quiet.
The next moment, Li Xuan stood up, fell to the ground, and kowtowed to his parents.
Mr. Li and the eldest lady were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, helping each other from left to right.
The eldest lady was shocked: "Xuan'er, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Li Xuan didn't say much, he just said: "A son is unfilial; a son is unfilial."
Mr. Li was also dumbfounded and at a loss for a moment. He kept helping his son, but Li Xuan just couldn't bear it.
Mr. Li said angrily: "The man has gold under his knees, let's get up first and then talk!"
Li Xuan just maintained his kowtow posture and said: "It is unfilial to disobey your parents; it is unjust to break the marriage contract. A son is unfilial and unrighteous, and he is unfilial and unrighteous..."
Master Li understood and was stunned. He kept saying: "This... you can't believe everything in this book. My son... this... why is this unfilial and unjust? What a big deal. ?”
But the eldest lady understood, pulled Mr. Li, ran to the side of the screen, and said softly: "It's better to let Xuan'er decide the marriage by himself."
Mr. Li frowned and said angrily: "Isn't this all for his own good?!"
The eldest lady felt distressed and said: "Look at Xuan'er like this... He has always been affectionate and righteous. At this time, he must not want to break the contract, but he also does not want to disobey you and me."
Mr. Li said angrily: "What Madam said, it seems that I have become a villain. I think this child is stupid because of studying! Anyway, he can't tell the difference!"
The eldest lady came closer to him and said quietly: "Xuan'er is going to be an official. Do you want him to cherish his wings?"
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, his mind finally turned around and he lowered his voice and said, "This kid, can't you just say it?"
The eldest lady said angrily: "I'm afraid it was an unintentional match.
No, can you say this? "
After saying that, she added: "Master, it's okay for us to be embarrassed. Let's make Xuan'er happy."
"Shameful?" Mr. Li chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "Madam, I am more shameless than you think."
The eldest lady covered her lips and smiled.
The two of them had discussed it and cooperated in a tacit understanding.
Mr. Li walked out of the screen and said in a cold voice: "If you want to kneel, kneel down and go outside. I still have things to do."
The eldest lady hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master."
Mr. Li waved his hand.
Li Xuan was also speechless. Although his father and mother's words were very soft, he was a master of 17 points of agility. How could he not hear them? Combining what his father and mother said and his demeanor at this time, he probably knew what his father was going to do.
This is giving him an assist...
So, without saying a word, he ran outside and knelt on the road.
The servants and maids were happily preparing for a dinner party for the young master, but when they suddenly saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded and asked questions.
Then, everyone soon learned the reason.
The eldest young master...refuses to break off the engagement!
There was an uproar!
...
...
Not long after, the news reached the Tian family.
Because of Tian Yuan's engagement, she had handed over all her affairs in the chamber of commerce and mobilized all her confidants.
I regret pressing the golden thread every year to make wedding clothes for others. The prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce, which was gained through hard work, was plucked in the blink of an eye. But those who pick peaches only do it for wealth.
If it were anyone else, he would have gone crazy by now.
But Tian Yuan calmed down, holding a book in the sun and reading quietly.
The clouds were scattered and the sky was high, the flowers were falling and the leaves were blooming. The golden light fell on her clean and pretty face, illuminating the hidden and melancholy smile hidden in the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, a maid came in a hurry from outside and ran to Tian Yuan's side, gasping for air.
Tian Yuan teased and said: "Qiao'er, I'm so busy, what else can I do?"
She has stabilized her mentality and will hold on no matter what the storm is.
The maid had a strange look on her face. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. She just said: "Li Xuan, Li Xuan... He knelt in the Li family courtyard for a long time. He... .He doesn’t want to break off the engagement.”
Tian Yuan:......
The girl's smile suddenly disappeared.
She asked: "Kneel for a long time?"
The maid nodded and said: "Yes, I went to inquire about it, and it was said that Mr. Li was furious, but Mr. Li was just kneeling..."
Tian Yuan was silent for a long time. She wanted to get up, but she didn't. She just sighed.
But suddenly, the grievances she suffered disappeared.
Although the world is dangerous.
But this time, after all...
She never betrayed anyone.
No one ever failed her.
Two hearts connected.
very nice.
...
...
One night, Tian Yuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The late spring wind blew slowly outside the window.
She had a sleepless night, and at dawn she rested half asleep.
Drowsily, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Qiao'er, what's the matter?" Tian Yuan asked.
But there was no answer outside the door.
Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong. She suddenly woke up and raised her hand to grab the dagger under her pillow.
This was something she prepared for herself when she was picking flowers for thieves.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix..."
Tian Yuan's delicate body trembled, and her eyes suddenly turned red for some unknown reason. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and replied, "It makes sense."
The door opened, and the boy outside stood in the golden light of dawn, his face haggard.
Tian Yuan recognized him at a glance.
Their eyes met, speechless and choked.
Li Xuandao: "Tomorrow is the third day of June. How can any bride still cry on the bed at this time?"
Tian Yuan pursed her lips and cried, then she laughed out loud.
