After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 439 Threatening to Break Off the Engagement

Ye Qing saw her actions and stopped as well.

"Miss Sun, is there something going on?" Ye Qing stared at the master and servant.

"Miss Ye, let's not beat around the bush. Do you think you and Lin Wenxuan are a good match? Brother Wenxuan is well-educated and is destined to pass the imperial examination. What can you bring to him?"

"Miss Sun, this should have nothing to do with you." Ye Qing looked at Sun Youyou playfully.

Chunxiang lowered her head and supported Sun Youyou without saying anything, and it seemed that she agreed with what she said.

Sun Youyou ignored what Ye Qing said, "You and Brother Wenxuan grew up together. Will Brother Wenxuan take you to socialize with other wives of officials when he becomes an official?"

Ye Qing didn't say anything. What else could he say when he looked at her?

Sun Youyou raised her hand and looked at her freshly painted nails while continuing to speak casually.

"By that time, you will be old and ugly. If Brother Wenxuan divorces you, how will you survive?"

Sun Youyou didn't give Ye Qing time to speak, "Besides, do you think Brother Wenxuan doesn't have any thoughts in his mind right now? The elders make the decisions between you two. Brother Wenxuan doesn't like you at all."

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, "How do you know? Do you know what he is thinking?"

Sun Youyou looked at Ye Qing sharply, "Of course, when Brother Wenxuan was studying in the capital city, he often took me out to play and gave me books he had copied himself."

Ye Qing felt a little moved. During these few months of their engagement, Ye Qing had felt something.

"When I was sick, Brother Wenxuan personally went to invite a doctor and made medicine for me before he left."

Sun Youyou's eyes no longer had the arrogance from before, only sadness remained. It was like a pair of loving young lovers who were separated by Ye Qing.

Ye Qing felt very sour in his heart, as if he had eaten an unripe apricot, and his heart was somewhat bitter.

"Miss Sun, you shouldn't have told me this."

Sun Youyou's face was covered with tears. "Miss Ye, I beg you, please help us. I know that you saved Grandpa Lin, and the Lin family wants to marry you to repay their kindness, but how long can a marriage without love last?"

Ye Qing looked at the girl in front of him whose expression changed so quickly, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had never been in a relationship before and didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

But she has a principle that she will not accept love that is given to her by charity.

Chunxiang looked at Ye Qing without any movement, let go of the hand that was supporting Sun Youyou, and knelt in front of her.

Ye Qing was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't react, so Chunxiang actually knelt in front of him.

"Miss Ye, I beg you, please let Master Lin go. Our girl has not slept for two days since she knew you were engaged. The last time they met, they had agreed to propose marriage, but it has only been a short while since they last met, and it has turned out like this."

Sun Youyou took up her handkerchief and wiped away her tears. "Miss Ye, I know that breaking off the engagement will be bad for your reputation. I promise that as long as you are willing to break off the engagement, I will give you fifty taels of silver and arrange a marriage for you. From now on, we will be sisters."

Ye Qing thought about Lin Wenxuan's usual performance and decided to trust him this time.

"Miss Sun, what if I don't want to? You've already said that Lin Wenxuan has a bright future. I should seize the opportunity now and hold on to him tightly."

Sun Youyou widened her eyes. She didn't expect to hear such an answer.

She reacted quickly, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and returned to her usual ladylike appearance.

"Miss Ye, you should know what is good and what is bad. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a few scholars in your family. A scholar can still have a say in Wu'an City, but in the prefectural capital, he is nothing."

Ye Qing snorted coldly, "Now Lin Wenxuan is also a scholar."

Sun Youyou didn't look at Ye Qing, but stared at the mountains in the distance with a cold voice.

"It's not easy for a farmer to support several scholars. If one of them breaks an arm or a leg while out, it's heartbreaking."

Ye Qing was furious, "You are threatening me."

"You can think so. Miss Ye can't beat me. I'm willing to talk to you now, but when I'm not willing anymore, you tell me what will happen."

Ye Qing didn't expect that he had misjudged a little girl, acting so boldly.

Ye Qing didn't spoil her. Lin Wenxuan was his man. Even if they separated, it was because he didn't want him anymore.

Just as Ye Qing was about to speak, the door to the yard behind him opened and Lian Ye walked out.

"Boss, why are you here? Several workshop managers are waiting for you to discuss something." The little girl walked out, exerting force with her hands and accidentally broke the stick in her hand, which was as thick as a child's arm.

Ye Qing thought for a moment before realizing that this girl must have heard what Sun Youyou said and came out to support her.

"I'll be there in a minute." Ye Qing didn't let Lian Ye's words fall on the ground.

Lian Ye came over and without even looking at the master and servant of the Sun family, threw the broken stick at their feet.

Chunxiang had already stood up, exclaimed, and jumped back with Sun Youyou.

"Boss, our shopkeeper asked me to tell you in advance that the Wu family has ordered another 100 pieces of cloth this year. I want to ask if you can sign this contract." Lian Ye did not forget to explain that they were the imperial merchant Wu family.

Sun Youyou's eyes widened. She didn't understand what a country girl had to do with all this.

There was a hint of smile in Ye Qing's eyes. This girl was so cute. She even helped him slap them in the face.

Ye Qing's thoughts just now changed, and suddenly she felt that it was meaningless. There were many men, and if Lin Wenxuan had no explanation, she would not hang herself on a tree.

Now when Ye Qing looked at Sun Youyou again, there was a bit more disgust in his eyes.

"Miss Sun, I heard what you said just now. If you have the guts, come over here and see if I, Ye Qing, am afraid. I am not afraid to tell you frankly that if there is any problem with my family, I will not let your family go."

Sun Youyou was frightened and took another step back. When she came to her senses, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

"Everyone is brave enough to talk big. Let's wait and see." Sun Youyou pointed at Ye Qing and shouted.

Ye Qing had seen blood before, so how could he take a girl's harsh words to heart?

"You can try to see if you can get out of Wu'an City."

Sun Youyou was frightened by Ye Qing's gloomy tone. When she looked at Ye Qing again, the gentle aura on her body disappeared, and it felt like Ye Qing could break her neck at any time.

Even the aura of the lotus leaf next to her changed. How could a girl younger than her have such a terrifying look?

Chunxiang was so frightened that she trembled. She held Sun Youyou's hand and the two turned around and ran away.

Ye Qing turned back into a gentle little girl, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

Lian Ye looked at their backs angrily, feeling a little regretful that the two of them didn't hold on a little longer. She still had a lot to say.
