Marriage is not a child's play, it is not something that Yuan Zixuan can do without it just because he wants to. It can only be done with the approval of the county and prince's palace. To enjoy the glory and wealth of the family, he has to sacrifice his own marriage. Nothing is ever perfect.
"Ms. Wen, don't get me wrong. I'm here to apologize. My brother was reckless. I'm sorry, Miss Wen. The wedding will not change and will continue as scheduled."
Wen Yao: "..."
This is not what she wants.
Looking at Yuan Zixuan who had a resentful look on his face, he said with a smile: "My brother, there is no sign of apology at all. Although my Wen family is not as noble and distinguished as the Duke's Palace, it is still a respectable family. As the eldest daughter, I still have a good reputation."
There is no reason why you can't get married."
"If I continue to tolerate your brother's behavior and the wedding continues, what will outsiders think of my Wen family?"
"I am gentle and have self-respect, and I will not beg to marry into your family."
Yuan Zixuan snorted coldly: "If you don't marry me, I don't want to marry you yet. You are a shrew and a savage woman. How can you be as gentle and considerate as Miss Lianpan? Whoever marries you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."
He hated Wen Yao so much that he not only dared to beat him, but also beat his elder brother again. As long as Wen Yao was having a hard time, he would be happy.
In fact, Yuan Zixuan was also rebellious at this time. The more things his family asked him to do, the more he didn't want them.
"Shut up, someone, come and stop his mouth. Even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up and get married."
Yuan Zimo was so angry that he would have beaten him if he were not at Wen's house.
Wen Yao shook his head, "Forget it, forceful melons are not sweet. Please call off this marriage. It was your brother who humiliated me, Wen Yao, first, so I, the Wen family, had to ask for the breakup. It was me, Wen Yao, who didn't want you to marry me."
Zixuan, it’s not that you dislike me, Yuan Zixuan, you took note of it.”
Yuan Zimo was helpless, Wen Yao was right, her family was sorry for her, and anyone with a bit of backbone would not be able to continue marrying in.
"Oh, that's really nice to say. Don't think I don't know. You married me to qualify as an imperial merchant. If you break off the engagement, you will have no chance of becoming an imperial merchant."
This is also the reason why Yuan Zixuan doesn't want this marriage. Yuan Zixuan is indeed not a good person. He is a playboy and a prodigal, but he still needs face. The Wen family does not like him as a person, but only likes what his family has given him.
The good thing is that this marriage is an exchange of benefits.
He, Yuan Zixuan, is not as qualified as an imperial merchant. Is he so worthless? The more he thinks about it, the angrier he becomes. Even if there is nothing to do with Lian Pan, he will try his best to resist.
Wen Yao said coldly: "You know quite a lot. The matter about the emperor's business is no longer a concern for the county and prince's palace. Since the engagement has been broken off, the Wen family and the county and prince's palace no longer have anything to do with it."
Yuan Zixuan was silent instead. He wanted to see this woman beg for mercy in pain, but she gave up easily, as if she had been punched on cotton.
Seeing that Wen Yao had made up his mind, Yuan Zimo felt regretful that his brother was unlucky for such a good woman, but he still wanted to fight for it, "Will the elders in your family agree?"
After all, it is the elders who make the final decision regarding parents' orders.
"I'm asking my grandfather to come forward. I also know the etiquette. Someone, go and ask the old man to come over."
The servants were very surprised. Who didn't know that the old man had not cared about the house for many years, so he asked the old man to come?
Wen Yao glared at them coldly, and her many years of majesty prevented the servants from asking any more questions and hurriedly went to invite the old man.
Mr. Wen had been waiting, and soon he arrived. Yuan Zimo saluted: "I have met Mr. Wen."
"This is the heir apparent of the county prince's palace. Please ask my grandfather to make the decision for me."
Mr. Wen saw that Yuan Zimo was polite and talented, and couldn't help but think that if this prince was the prince, he would have a good marriage.
"grandfather?!"
Wen Yao reminded him, and the old man came back to his senses and said regretfully: "My family is not lucky enough to be able to afford a noble house. Where is the marriage certificate?"
Wen Yao had been prepared for a long time. The advantage of being the master of the house was that everything was in her hands. No matter how Nuan Nuan and the old lady, Su Qiuyue jumped around, they were always helpless towards Wen Yao.
The breakup of the engagement went smoothly. As long as the old man signed it, he could go to the government to terminate the engagement. The big stone that was weighing on Wen Yao's heart was finally lifted.
Wen Yao took the divorce letter and smiled. This time it was not a mask-like smile, but a smile from the bottom of her heart. She finally got rid of the bad luck in her previous life.
From now on, there will be a new life.
Yuan Zixuan looked at her smile and felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, as if something important had been lost.
"Prince Yuan, please go slowly. I won't give it away anymore. I will return the betrothal gift to your mansion."
Wen Yao couldn't wait to go to the government office to terminate the engagement. She didn't want to greet the two brothers and extended her hand to see them off.
"Miss Wen, my family can't help you, so there's no need for the betrothal gift. It's my compensation for you. I will also help you get the imperial business, don't worry."
Yuan Zimo felt very guilty. Regardless of whether the Wen family took the initiative or not, it would be difficult for a girl who broke off the engagement to remarry, let alone Wen Yao, who was already twenty and an old girl. What should she do?
Wen Yao waved her hand: "No need, no reward for no merit, please don't mind, Your Majesty. No one between you and I owes anything to the other. We should all be well."
Wen Yao didn't owe him this favor. Yuan Zimo just wanted to say goodbye and didn't want to get angry with Yuan Zixuan. The matter had come to this, and there was no point in beating or scolding her. It was because he, the county prince, was not lucky enough to marry such a good girl like her.
Yuan Zixuan thought he would be stubborn, but did not expect that there was no fart. He was secretly happy, sneaked out, and went to find a lottery girl to report the good. After three days, no, now there are two days left.
, Big brother, if mother objects to him, he will not live.
Wen Yao came out of the Yamen. She was free now, without the shackles of marriage, and felt comfortable all over.
Suddenly she saw Yuan Rui walking towards her, with complicated eyes, his gentle smile faded, and he saluted, "I've met the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite, you, you can leave it to me, why bother to solve it yourself? As part of our deal, I have the obligation to help you terminate the engagement."
Wen Yao smiled, bright and bright, Yuan Rui avoided it unconsciously, and just heard her say: "How does Prince Yuan plan to solve it? Is he going to make a cross and make enemies with the county prince's palace?"
"Even if the county prince's palace has to give you face, I will never feel comfortable. It will not be good for your reputation. I didn't think carefully before."
"I don't care about those false reputations."
Yuan Rui was a little sulky, feeling that Wen Yao looked down on him.
"But what I care about is that in the future I will also be a member of Prince Jing's palace. I am also helping myself. Thank you Prince for thinking of me."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal and ask Miss Wen for a favor."
"Thank you. Actually, I shouldn't have promised you. I broke off the engagement and went to dinner with you. Someone saw me. I don't think it's nice to say it or not!"
Wen Yao pretended to be distressed and became a bit more playful. Yuan Rui raised the corners of her mouth, and now she looked like a young girl. She was much prettier than before, with her stern face and serious and indifferent look.
