Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 287: Love in the Sadistic Story (34)

As for why Zhou Yulin knew General Han so well, it was all thanks to the scene that appeared in his dream.

In the dream, Han Qingqing fell in love with him at first sight, but how could General Han, who doted on his daughter like his life, let his legitimate daughter become a concubine?

Naturally, he disagreed, and even cruelly confined her to her room. Later, Han Qingqing went on hunger strike every few days, cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, which forced him to compromise.

But when she got married, Han Qingqing was extremely glorious. Each load of her dowry was filled to the brim and heavy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the first load arrived at the Third Prince's mansion while the last load had just left.

But now Han Qingqing did not fall in love with him at first sight as in the dream, and did not pester him to marry her. Instead, she seemed to look down on him.

Zhou Yulin clenched his back teeth tightly. How could he not know why she had changed like this?

It was because he was not valued by his father and trained as an heir as he had dreamed, so even she, a mere daughter of a general, dared to look down on him.

"Hmph, just wait. When the time comes, I will make that old bastard Han Qiao come to my house and beg me to marry you."

After discussing with his staff, Zhou Yulin has decided to give up the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and instead take advantage of the situation and marry into the Han family.

After all, General Han has a lot of troops under his command. If he marries his favorite youngest daughter and gets his support, it will be a great help to him.

Later, just as they expected, the affair between the two spread throughout the capital. However, after several days of spreading the news, there was no sign that the Third Prince proposed to marry General Han's daughter, which made the rumor become more and more outrageous.

Some even suspected that Han Qingqing had some hidden illness. Otherwise, with such a beautiful face and a distinguished status, how could the Third Prince remain silent?
After hearing the news, the elders of the Han family came to the door one by one, and their words and deeds were intended to put pressure on Han Qiao.

No matter how much Han Qiao loved this legitimate daughter, this marriage had to go through with it. After all, who knew if it would affect the unmarried girls in the clan if it was delayed any longer? So Han Qiao had no choice but to bow his head and accept the marriage. However, he was not manipulated into begging him to marry Han Qingqing as Zhou Yulin had expected. Instead, he directly asked the emperor to grant the marriage, shutting up those people.

Just like that, no matter how unhappy Han Qingqing was, the fact that she would become Zhou Yulin's wife was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

"It's really strange. Chuan'er would send a letter every month to let me know he was safe, but he hasn't received any letters for two consecutive months."

Yan Qingman was muttering something while putting a newly bought hairpin on her little daughter's head. Suddenly, the sharp end of the hairpin pricked her hand, leaving a mark. She touched her chest and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Shen Heng, who had just returned from court, stood in front of the door, looking at the mother and daughter happily painting together, and hesitated as he held the letter in his hand.

"Dad, you're back! Why don't you come in?"

It was when Shen Su looked up that he saw him first and spoke quickly.

"Manman, this is a letter from General Liu."

Shen Heng handed over the letter that was crumpled to pieces in his hand, pursed his lips, and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Why would General Liu write to me? Did that brat Chuan'er get in trouble and send someone to complain?"

Yan Qingman stood up suddenly, took the letter from his hand, and quickly read it while speaking...
