C158 Cancel the Engagement
After eating, they chatted with Yun Hong for a long time. Feng Yu then went to rest in Yun Hong’s courtyard. As for Yun Yixuan, he was dragged by Yun Hong to play chess.
These days, Feng Yu and Yun Yixuan were both in the academy. Even Long Zixuan, who used to frequent the General’s Mansion, had several roles, so he was so busy that he didn’t come. Yun Hong felt that he was about to go crazy.
Therefore, he obviously wouldn’t let go of Yun Yixuan. The two of them played a round after round on the stone table outside. Of course, most of the time, Yun Yixuan would give way to Yun Hong.
When Feng Yu woke up, it was already the afternoon. The sun gradually set, and the faint afterglow of the setting sun was scattered. She pushed open the door and saw that Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan were still playing chess in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan looked over. Yun Hong held a piece in his hand and looked at Feng Yu with a smile. His muddy eyes were narrowed into a line, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
“Girl, you woke up?”
“Yes, Grandfather.” Feng Yu rubbed her eyes. She didn’t look very energetic. She had already slept for four hours, but she still felt that she didn’t sleep enough.
Seeing her sleepy appearance, Yun Hong couldn’t help but feel distressed. “Girl, if you’re sleepy, go back and continue sleeping. When dinner is ready, I’ll call you.”
Feng Yu shook her head and said, “I’m not sleeping anymore. I have something to do.”
“I really don’t know what can happen to a girl like you. Why are you always running out?”
Yun Hong complained unhappily. Feng Yu smiled at him and said, “Grandpa, I really have something to do.”
Yun Hong snorted and said, “Go. Let your brother go with you.”
Feng Yu looked at Yun Yixuan. Yun Yixuan smiled at her and put down the chess piece in his hand. He said, “Third Sister, let me go with you.”
Feng Yu immediately shook her head and said, “No need, Brother. I will go out to do something. It won’t be dangerous. Don’t worry. I promise that I will come back before dark.”
Hearing that, Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan had nothing to say. They could only watch her leave.
Feng Yu walked a few steps and suddenly turned around. She looked at Yun Hong and said, “Grandpa, if I break off the engagement with Eleventh Prince, will you be unhappy?”
Yun Hong did not expect her to ask such a question. He thought for a moment and sighed. He said, “Actually, Grandpa doesn’t care who you marry. As long as that person loves you and treats you well, it doesn’t matter what status he has. Obviously, Eleventh Prince doesn’t like you and he won’t love you. Grandpa hopes that your engagement can be canceled. But it seems to be a bit difficult.”
He knew that the only reason why Beiming Jiuli wanted her to be a member of the Beiming Family was because she was. Even if she was not Beiming Hao, she would be a prince.
“Grandfather, there is nothing in this world that is difficult. I’m afraid that there is someone who is thinking about it.” Yun Yixuan suddenly spoke in a gentle voice. “If Third Sister wants to cancel the marriage, there will be a way.”
Yun Hong sighed and didn’t say anything. In the end, the Hao Yuan Empire was still ruled by the imperial power. Although Xuan Er’s cultivation was deep, he couldn’t resist the imperial order.
Therefore, cancelling the marriage was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Yun Yixuan looked at Feng Yu and said, “Third Sister, don’t worry. Big Brother will think of a way with you. It is simply wishful thinking for Beiming Hao to marry my Third Sister.”
Feng Yu bit her lips and suddenly laughed. She looked at Yun Hong and then at Yun Yixuan and said, “It’s good that Grandfather and Big Brother aren’t angry. Leave the rest to me. You don’t need to worry too much about me. I, Yun Fengyu, am not as useless as the rumors say.”
Yun Hong and Yun Yixuan looked at her and didn’t know what she wanted to do. Yun Hong said worriedly, “Girl, don’t do anything rash. If you want to cancel the marriage, let your Big Brother think of a way with you. Don’t put yourself in danger, understand?”
Feng Yu nodded heavily and then joked, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I still have to be filial to you. How can I put myself in danger? Alright, I’ll go first. Remember to leave dinner for me.”
After saying that, Feng Yu leapt up and disappeared on the roof.
Yun Hong looked at the place where she had disappeared and said, “Yixuan, what do you think this girl is trying to do?”
Yun Yixuan shook his head and said, “Third Sister is very meticulous. I don’t know what she is trying to do. However, if Third Sister says that there will be no danger, then there will really be no danger. Why do you think so much, Grandfather?”
Yun Hong sighed. Although he knew that Yun Yixuan was right, he couldn’t put his mind at ease.
Feng Yu left the General’s Estate and headed straight to the Chen’s Estate. It was the third day since they had agreed to meet. He didn’t know if Beiming Chen had really gotten the marriage annulment letter. He hoped that she wouldn’t waste her time.
Feng Yu jumped over the wall and arrived at the Lofty Dust Garden. She saw Ye Feng standing on the stairs. He was wearing his grey robe and looked very clean. It seemed like he was waiting for someone.
“Miss Feng.”
Ye Feng saw Feng Yu appear and walked over. He bowed to her. His handsome face wasn’t very warm, but it wasn’t distant either.
Feng Yu nodded at him and asked, “Where is your Royal Highness?”
Ye Feng seemed to know that Beiming Chen was waiting for her. After she asked, he answered without thinking, “Your Royal Highness is waiting for you in the study. Miss Feng, let me bring you there.”
Feng Yu nodded and nodded.
Ye Feng led the way in front. She followed him. The study was also in the Lofty Dust Garden, so after a few steps, Ye Feng stopped in front of a tightly shut door.
He knocked on the door and said respectfully, “Your Highness, Miss Feng is here.”
“Please come in.”
The cold voice came from the door. Ye Feng respectfully said ‘yes’ and then pushed the door open. He made a hand gesture to Feng Yu and said, “Miss Feng, please come in.”
“Thank you.”
Feng Yu walked in. Ye Feng closed the door behind her. Once she went in, she saw that the bedroom was similar to the study room. The study table and bookshelves were made of black sandalwood and were filled with a dark aura.
Feng Yu didn’t suppress it, but she felt repulsed.
She lived in darkness in her previous life and couldn’t see the light of day. Therefore, she instinctively felt repulsed by darkness in this life. She believed that it wasn’t what she wanted.
Behind the study table stood a man in black clothes. Just the side of his face made people think that he was extremely handsome and extraordinary. Feng Yu looked at him and didn’t speak for a long time.
After a long silence, Beiming Chen raised his head and looked at her with eyes that were dyed with ice and snow. However, he didn’t speak, as if he was waiting for her to speak first.
“Did you get the marriage annulment letter?”
Feng Yu asked when she saw him raise his head.
Beiming Chen walked out of the black study table and held a bright yellow cloth in his hand. Feng Yu looked at the bright yellow cloth in his hand and her heart started to beat excitedly.
Was that the marriage annulment letter?
Did Beiming Chen really get the marriage annulment certificate for her?
Beiming Chen walked to the black round table and sat down. He looked up at Feng Yu who was staring at the cloth in his hand. He said in a cold voice, “Come here.”
Feng Yu raised her eyebrows and walked to him. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Her eyes fell on the yellow cloth on the table.
Beiming Chen reached out his hand and pushed the cloth on the table to Feng Yu. He signaled Feng Yu to open it.
Feng Yu looked at him and excitedly picked up the cloth. She opened it without thinking. Her eyes swept across the big words on the cloth. Her face that was already ugly became even uglier.
“What is going on?”
It was a marriage annulment certificate, but it was also a marriage certificate. It meant that she and Beiming Hao’s marriage was canceled. However, it also meant that she and Beiming Chen, the man in front of her, would get married.
Feng Yu couldn’t understand how Beiming Jiu Li’s head could grow so fast. She had seen her ugly face. How could he be so cruel as to marry her to his most talented son and let her ruin him?
Beiming Chen was so handsome. How could Beiming Jiu Li let her ruin him?
Beiming Chen looked at her and said in a cold voice, “Beiming Jiu Li said that you must be the daughter-in-law of the Beiming Family. Beiming Hao is not the only prince. You must be the other prince.”
Feng Yu was furious. She felt like she was going to go crazy. The marriage annulment that she had been waiting for for so long had suddenly become a marriage decree. Who could understand her feelings?
Why did she not want to have anything to do with the Beiming Family? Why did he not let her go?
What was so good about her that he was so interested in her? He was so interested that he would not let her marry someone else even if it meant harming his own son? Could she not marry anyone in her lifetime?
She bit her lips and looked at Beiming Chen unwillingly. She clenched her fists and said, “Why? Why do I have to marry into the Beiming Family? Why?”
Beiming Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Feng Yu took a deep breath and tried to hold back the urge to tear the cloth in her hand into pieces. She said, “Fine. But why is it you?”
Beiming Chen looked up at her. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss. They were so dark that there was no light in them. His cold voice was like ice. “Then who do you want to marry?”
Feng Yu swallowed her saliva and looked at him with a gloomy look. She said, “Anyone is fine, but why is it you?”
“Why not me?”
Beiming Chen closed his eyes. His cold voice was much softer. It was so low that it was almost inaudible.
“I, Feng Yu, have never been interested in other people’s feelings,” Feng Yu sneered. She suddenly stood up from her chair and looked at him coldly. She said, “You and Princess Ling Yan are in love. You are a match made in heaven. So, I will not interfere with your relationship.”
She hated mistresses the most in her life, so how could she be a mistress?
Besides, she didn’t have any feelings for Beiming Chen, so why should she get involved? Beiming Chen was undoubtedly the most outstanding prince. It would be fine if she liked him, but she didn’t like him. Why did she marry him?
If she had to marry into the Beiming family, then she might as well marry Beiming Hao. At least, Beiming Hao was weaker. She could mess with him whenever she didn’t like him, but could she do the same to Beiming Chen?
She suddenly spread out the imperial edict with her hands and said with a sneer, “I think I should tear this imperial edict. Beiming Chen, our deal ends here.”
After saying that, she tore the imperial edict. However, after hearing what she said, Beiming Chen opened his eyes and looked at her coldly. Then, he moved quickly and stopped her before she could do anything. He took the imperial edict.
