Chapter 1213: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (3)
"Speaking of which, although the Wei family has many descendants, Master Wei doesn't have many brothers and sisters." Du Ruoheng continued her cousin's words, "Other noble families' sons would marry and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
But Master Wei is already over eighteen and still has no children. Now that Miss Li is about to give birth, he should take good care of her. I will not disturb your family reunion. Breaking off the engagement is my gift to you."
After hearing this decisive tone, Wei Yanshan finally realized that Du Ruoheng really wanted to cancel the engagement.
He thought about the scene after the matter was exposed, and could also imagine Du Ruoheng crying, but what kind of situation was this expression of disgust?
Mrs. Wei had already felt ashamed when the matter of the jade pendant was brought up, and now she felt even more embarrassed.
If she didn't have only this one son, she would have wanted to slap Wei Yanshan to death right now.
"It's my Wei family who has disturbed you today, so we'll go back first." As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wei glanced at the maid who was following her.
The man understood what she meant and immediately stepped forward to support Li Yuemei. The increased strength in his hands was completely different from the gentle tone he used when speaking. "Auntie, you are heavy. I will support you. Please watch your step and don't embarrass yourself in the Du family's place."
The following sentence was obviously a sarcasm, which showed that everyone had seen Li Yuemei's several movements of leaning back.
The most surprised person was Wei Yanshan, because he knew that the title of "aunt" basically defined Li Yuemei's identity. He wanted to say a few words for her, but when he met his mother's eyes, he did not speak again.
He had had enough of the hard life in the mountains. He was born to be the young master of the Wei family and the majestic General Wei on the battlefield, not a porter delivering food to a Taoist temple.
At this point, Li Yuemei knew that she could no longer rely on Wei Yanshan, so she could only let the maid "help" her walk out.
Everyone thought the matter was over, but within a few days rumors started spreading again in the city.
There are all kinds of rumors, such as that Du Ruoheng couldn't tolerate Wei Yanshan's savior, and that Wei Yanshan broke off the engagement because he looked down on Du Ruoheng's character.
What's more, some people say that although Du Ruoheng has superb medical skills, he has been exposed to medicinal herbs for many years and has long been poisoned by them, making him infertile.
"Miss!" Hongdou told Du Ruoheng the news she had just heard. Seeing that she was indifferent, she became more and more anxious. "Miss, if you continue like this, your reputation will be ruined. If you can't get married in the future..."
"Then I won't get married!" Du Ruoheng touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror. "In the future, I can earn money to buy flowers to wear, and I can live a good life."
Hongdou looked at the other party's lukewarm attitude and became even more anxious. "I know that the young lady is capable, but now they let me be slandered like this. I am really angry."
Du Ruoheng smiled and used the ink she had just used to draw her eyebrows to add the final stroke of the Chinese character "正" (correct) on the booklet beside her. "Don't be impatient. Let the rumor spread for a while. The bigger it gets, the better."
Hongdou didn't quite understand what Du Ruoheng meant, but the next day Qingyan, who had been away from home for a long time, finally came back.
Looking at the dusty Qingyan, Du Ruheng simply said, "Let's get started!"
An hour later, the yamen's drum of complaint was struck.
A couple from a border town knelt in the lobby with their son, accusing Wei Yanshan, the son of the Wei family, of abducting a good girl.
"Who are you talking about?" The county magistrate did not expect that the Wei family would become the defendant, but this was indeed a pleasant surprise.
The county magistrate was assigned to the post at the beginning of this year. He and General Wei belonged to different factions. Originally, due to the need to appease the military commanders and pressure from others, he would be transferred at the end of this month.
Who would have thought that at the last moment, he could achieve such a great achievement.
This couple was none other than Li Yuemei's parents. They had already betrothed their daughter to a wealthy local family as a second wife, and had also given them a large sum of money to marry their son.
Who would have thought that the daughter would suddenly disappear before the wedding.
They originally thought that their daughter had met with an accident, so they paid compensation to the rich man and even sold their land.
But when Qingyan told the couple that their daughter was fine and had even followed her lover into a wealthy family to enjoy a good life, they were instantly furious. However, they also thought about the long distance to Huanzhou and the fact that the Wei family was a powerful family...
"You sold the land and lost money, and your son will be single for who knows how long." Qingyan did not try to persuade them, but just kept talking about how miserable they were. "She lived a good life in the Wei family,
That's fine! We're all family after all, and if your daughter doesn't enjoy the happiness you didn't, she'll get it for you."
Regardless of his parents' thoughts, the son refused: "Why? Xiaolan waited for me for five years, and we finally got married. Now, because of my sister, not only can I not raise the betrothal gift, but I also have to sell our land.
A few days ago, the Chen family married Xiaolan to the next village. I can't let her go, I can't!"
