Chapter 629: Breaking off the Engagement

Because of this sentence, Xue Hefeng immediately closed his mouth.

Liu Yunxiang saw the little girl sitting on the steps in front of the door, as if she was stupid, with a dull expression and motionless. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked around Xue Hefeng.

Walking to the little girl, she bent down and asked gently, "What's your name?"

Seeing that she was intact, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved, but the child was indeed young, thin and weak, with patches on his clothes. Looking at the house, although it was worn out, it was clean.

This is a diligent and good kid who works hard to support himself and that gambling father.

Perhaps Liu Yunxiang's voice was warm, and the little girl slowly raised her head as if an ice sculpture had been melted, but her eyes were still dull, "Xiao, Xiaolan."

Liu Yunxiang reached out and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder, "You need help now, sister can help you."

Xiaolan looked at the door and saw Xue Hefeng's body shivered, then sobbed and cried, "I'm afraid, I'm so scared..."

Liu Yunxiang hugged Xiaolan, "Tell my sister, what happened just now?"

"I dare not..."

"Don't worry, sister can help you."

Xiaolan cried and hesitated for a while before pointing at Xue Hefeng and said, "He...he wants to insult me..."

As soon as the little girl said, Xue Changfeng slapped her hands, "Cousin, you are so damn bad. How old is this little girl? Can you do it? Also, it is obvious that she was forced. As a noble family and a court official, do you know that if this matter is spread, not only will the face of the Duke of Yang Guo’s Mansion be damaged, but you will also be discredited and you will not even be able to keep the black hat."

Xue Hefeng shook his head quickly, "No, it's not like this. I didn't insult her, I..."

"Then report to the official and let the government investigate!" Yan Mu shouted softly.

Xue Hefeng looked at Yan Mu again. It was clear that they were the ones who hit him just now, which meant that they had been ambushing here for a long time and knew the whole thing. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and then sighed.

"Your Highness and cousin, you two are men, you should know that men's affairs. This is not a big deal, so don't make things difficult for me."

"It's not a big deal?" Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "You almost ruined a good girl, and you still have the face to say it's not a big deal!"

Xue Hefeng pursed his lips, "What my cousin said is, I remember the lesson and I will never do such a thing again in the future. Please ask the two of you to give it a thumbs up."

Xue Changfeng hummed, "Apologize to that girl first."

Xue Hefeng breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the little girl, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Xue Changfeng chuckled, "No sincerity at all. It seems that you are not sincere in repentance."

Xue Hefeng was silent for a moment, then got up with difficulty, and said sorry to the little girl.

"I'm sorry, the three words light and fluttering, I almost got bullied by you!" Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth.

"What do you want me?"

"Kneel down and apologize!"

"I am the third son of the Duke of Yang Guo Mansion. If you want me to kneel down, you..."

"You still have the face to touch the Duke of Yang's Mansion!"

Seeing Xue Changfeng's unyielding look, Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth secretly, and had to kneel down, turn around and say sorry to the little girl.

Obviously, this sorry sentence cannot eliminate the harm to the little girl, but at least let her know that if she is wrong, she is wrong. There is always justice in this world.

Liu Yunxiang patted the girl on the shoulder, then stood up and walked towards Xue Hefeng.

"Master Xue San, my niece Xie Wenqing, do you know?"

Xue Hefeng was stunned for a moment, then understood something, and his face became darker again, "I know, we are about to get married."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed her eyes, "Why did you want to marry her?"

"If you like it, marry it."

"What have you done to her?"

Xue Hefeng looked up, "She went up the mountain to collect herbs and sprained her foot. I happened to pass by and save her. When I was taking care of her, we fell in love with each other and she gave me her body. Of course, I have to be responsible, so I proposed to Marquis Jing'an shortly after going down the mountain. Princess, don't worry, I will be good to the five girls."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, and what he said matched what Xiao Wu said to her.

But she still doubted, but she could only doubt.

"You are not a good match for her."

"What does the princess mean?"

Liu Yunxiang tilted her head and said coldly: "I want you to withdraw from the marriage."

Xue Hefeng sneered, "Are you kidding?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "The injuries on her body hurt very much, right?"

Xue Hefeng's expression was tense. She said this sentence with a smile, which was obviously a threat, and he didn't even dare to say a word of refutation. He was being held by them when he hit the snake.

Xue Hefeng forced a smile, "I still have to give you the princess face."

"Is it possible to withdraw from the marriage tomorrow?"

Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Liu Yunxiang stood up straight and nodded with satisfaction.

When leaving, Liu Yunxiang was afraid that Xue Hefeng would come back to take revenge on the little girl, and that her father would harm her again, so she took her away and asked Zijin to arrange it.

Some of the shops below were short of staff, so she just helped her.

The next day, Jinyan came back from outside and said that Xue Hefeng had already gone to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to retire. Everyone knew about this.

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved.

"You go and prepare some snacks and send them to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to the fifth girl, and let her go back to the pharmacy early."

"I'll do it now."

Seeing the snacks she gave, Xiao Wu knew that she used the means to force Xue Hefeng to withdraw from the bride. She might be angry with her now, but one day, she would know her good intentions.

Xiao Wu's matter was just handled, but Mr. Xu from the Minister's Mansion came to the door again.

"Girl, my wife has been sleeping day and night recently. She is really worried about the young master's marriage. Do you think you can help me and talk to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion?"

After sending Butler Xu away, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to find Zhang Qi. After a while, his son Jin came back and he also took a few bills of debts.

"Han Wei really owes a lot of money outside, and Brother Qi used the money to redeem these bills."

Liu Yunxiang calculated carefully and found that there were 30,000 taels.

She shook her head, "Han Wei has recently obtained a idle position, with an annual salary of only 500 taels. It will take thirty years for him to pay back these accounts without food or drink. He is so brave!"

"These people who were owed the debt were frightened by the forces of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, which made Han Wei owe these debts. Brother Qi also said that this is only a small part of them."

"These aristocratic families are worse than the next generation. They have begun to break from it and will sooner or later be overthrown."

Liu Yunxiang said as she stood up and picked up the bills, "Let's go, let's go to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion."
