Zhao Xinru was stunned and pursed her lips: "Brother Yuwen, you are joking again. I don't want to marry Ji Baiyu, but you saved me! Zizi definitely doesn't want to marry Gongyang Tongzhi, so you also saved her.
What are you going to do?"
"Saving you is a robbery, so saving Zizi... Shanren has his own clever plan..." Xia Yu smiled slightly and whispered a few words to Zhao Xinru.
"ah?"
Zhao Xinru was stunned, "Brother Yuwen, isn't this too dangerous?
There are many masters in the Ye family."
"It doesn't matter..." Xia Yu smiled faintly, "Now that there are so many people from the Gongyang family living in the Ye family, the Ye family must be in chaos, so there will be an opportunity to do something."
"Then...I'll go with you!"
Xia Yu shook his head, "No, your qinggong is worse than mine. If someone finds out, you will be in trouble. Just wait for me at the inn. Don't worry."
...That night, under Zhao Xinru's worried look, Xia Yu put on his night clothes and went to the Ye family compound.
He looked at the terrain near the Ye family compound and lingered for a while. It was estimated that the time was almost up, so he returned to the inn.
Zhao Xinru was still waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she immediately looked concerned, "Brother Yuwen, are you okay?"
"It's okay, am I not okay?"
Xia Yu was very happy to see his sister caring about him so much.
"Then...is the matter done?"
Zhao Xinru asked.
"Well...it's done. Let's rest. We have to go find An Jingxu tomorrow."
"Okay, good night, brother Yuwen."
Seeing Zhao Xinru heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yu secretly shook his head. The girl is so pure, but the brother always deceives her. It feels a bit guilty.
...One day passed, and on the morning of the third day, the Ye family courtyard was filled with exquisite boxes of all sizes. These boxes were made of the finest purple agarwood. They were so hard that ordinary swords could not touch them.
No matter how hard it is, in addition to being hard, the extremely purple agarwood also exudes a light fragrance, which has a calming effect.
If it were in the southwest, a string of extremely purple agarwood bracelets would already be very precious, but here, it is used to make a box, which shows the strength of the Gongyang family.
These boxes contain betrothal gifts. In addition to countless high-grade spiritual stones, there are also many elixirs and elixirs, as well as various valuable and rare treasures.
Gongyang Tongzhi was dressed in rich clothes, sitting in the living room, smiling and high-spirited, thinking about the beautiful lady who was about to get engaged to him, and his body was warm from top to bottom.
Gongyang Tongzhi's uncle Gongyangli sat next to Gongyang Tongzhi, also smiling.
He was the first to propose a marriage with the Ye family, and it was naturally for the benefit of the Gongyang family. At this time, the matter was about to succeed, which could be regarded as a great achievement of his.
The head of the Ye family, Ye Qingnian, is a handsome middle-aged man, and his wife Cheng Qiuya is also a beautiful middle-aged woman. It is this combination of handsome men and beautiful women that gave rise to the two sisters, Ye Qianmo and Ye Zizi.
Ye Qianmo inherited more advantages from his father, and was pretty with a bit of heroism, while Ye Zizi inherited more advantages from her mother, and was more delicate.
In addition to Ye Qingnian and his wife, there was an old man sitting in the living room, named Ye Xiangrong. He was Ye Qingnian's second uncle and the second elder of the Ye family.
Ye Qingnian's father had expired a few years ago, and the position of head of the Ye family fell to Ye Qingnian. However, the oldest person in the family was his second uncle Ye Xiangrong. Ye Xiangrong would naturally have to take part in such a big event as the engagement of the Ye family's legitimate daughter.
Gongyangli was the first to speak. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Ye Qingnian, "Master Ye, we have lived in Guibao for so long. Your care is quite considerate. I am here to thank you on behalf of the Gongyang family.
Yes, the Ye family’s head also knows our purpose of coming. This is our betrothal gift list, please take a look at it.”
"Brother Gongyang, you're welcome!"
Ye Qingnian nodded and asked the servant to take the gift list.
According to the custom of Ziyue Plain, receiving the gift list is equivalent to preliminary agreement on the engagement. The engagement is mostly completed, and the next thing is to "sing the ceremony".
The so-called "singing ceremony" means that the woman's family reads the contents of the gift list aloud. If the woman has no objection to the betrothal gift, the engagement process is completed.
In fact, according to the customs of Xuantian Continent, the prerequisite for an engagement is that both the man and the woman agree. Of course Gongyang Tongzhi wanted to marry Ye Zizi home immediately, but Ye Zizi did not agree at all. However, the engagement ceremony remained the same.
Held.
As children of aristocratic families, especially women like Ye Qianmo and Ye Zizi, how many of them can make their own decisions when it comes to marriage?
The Gongyang family's betrothal gift was quite heavy, and the gift list was all written in small regular script. It was a thick stack. The servant chosen by the Ye family had a good voice. His voice was high-pitched and melodious, and could be heard throughout almost half of the Ye family's compound.
Outside a small courtyard in the backyard of Ye's family, there were more than a dozen serious-looking guards standing outside, almost completely surrounding the small courtyard.
This is Ye Zizi's yard. In the house, Ye Zizi is crying in Ye Qianmo's arms.
Her family forced her to marry Gongyang Tongzhi, which broke her heart. She thought that her father, who had always loved her, would not force her to do something she didn't want to do, but for the sake of the family's interests, her father still had to sacrifice her.
"Sister...what should I do! I don't want to marry that Gongyang Tongzhi!"
Ye Zizi wiped away tears and said.
Ye Qianmo sighed. Although his family protected his fellow members of the Wanhua Sect, for him and his sister, it was like falling into a trap.
"Zi Zi, don't be sad, it's just an engagement!"
Ye Qianmo said, "No matter what my parents arrange, as long as I find an opportunity, I will take you to escape!"
Ye Zizi shook her head, "Dad said that if I run away, I won't care about Elder Tai Shangtian and the others... But sister, I really don't want to marry Gongyang Tongzhi... I... I want to die!"
"Good sister, don't think like that!"
Ye Qianmo was also frantic with anxiety.
Ye Qingnian knew the temperament of his eldest daughter very well. He knew that Ye Qianmo would definitely find a way to ruin the marriage. Therefore, after deciding to marry the Gongyang family, he imprisoned the two sisters together. Now Ye Qianmo
In the end, she was helpless and could only keep comforting Ye Zizi to prevent her from committing suicide.
Ye Zizi wiped her tears and said: "Sister, when we were arrested by the Shanhai Gang last time, it was Brother Yuwen who saved us. Do you think Brother Yuwen will come to save us this time?"
Ye Qianmo felt irritated after hearing this, and frowned: "I'm afraid that heartless bastard is still working as a handyman in the Star Picking Pavilion with a shy face! Stop thinking so wildly! Zizi... I tell you, don't be anxious now,
