Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?
Chapter 3: If I can’t be your wife, what about being a concubine?
Just when Yun Xi was wondering if the tears she shed were too exaggerated, she heard the villagers who were watching the fun nearby starting to talk.
"Oh my god, this Zhao family is really dishonest. Look how sad Xi girl is crying."
"That's right. Look at the tears flowing. What's the phrase? Tears are like spring water."
"Auntie He, that's called tears flowing like a fountain." A young man corrected.
"Yes, yes, that's the word. You must have studied in a private school for a few days. Wow, I didn't expect that tears could really be like a spring."
"Alas, isn't it because Xi girl is extremely sad?"
The villagers shook their heads and sighed as they talked. Some of the people who had a good relationship with the Yun family and had a low tear point had red eyes and began to wipe away their tears.
Xi was almost heartbroken and started crying while hugging her daughter.
The other female members of the Yun clan also gathered around to comfort Yun Xi.
The way to comfort her was to tell her not to cry and not to feel sad, and then everyone cried louder than anyone else, cursing the Zhao family while crying.
Brothers Yunqi and Yunyan tied the ox cart outside, and with the help of two villagers, they carried all the sacks on the cart into the house.
From everyone's words, they also understood the whole story. The two brothers put away the sacks and came out of the house to stand beside their father, looking at the Zhao family with anger in their eyes.
Thinking of the scene of their little sister bursting into tears just now, they felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife. They were so distressed that they wished they could cut the Zhao family into pieces.
The Zhao family heard their crying and cursing as well as the villagers' discussions, and felt ashamed, annoyed and embarrassed.
Knowing that they couldn't continue like this, the Zhao clan members exchanged glances, and finally Zhao Pingxiu bowed to Yun Huaiyuan and said,
"Brother Huaiyuan, I'm really sorry. We are not ungrateful people. It's just that Xi girl... we sympathize with her experience, but our Zhao family cannot accept it. This marriage can only be cancelled."
"Of course, our two families have always supported each other and have a deep friendship. My son has now passed the imperial examination and has a good ranking. I believe he will pass the imperial examination in three years. Now my son has also been appreciated by the Xue family and has some face in front of Master Xue. If you need any help in the future, we will do our best."
He was both showing off and threatening.
The Xue family was a famous landlord and gentry in their town. Not only was their family rich, they were also very powerful in the local area and had a close relationship with the county magistrate.
Mentioning that the Xue family had taken a liking to Zhao Junyi was actually telling them that they should be smart and cancel the engagement, otherwise they would ask Master Xue for help and the Yun family would have a hard time.
All the members of the Yun clan understood the meaning of his words and their faces turned very ugly.
When the surrounding villagers heard this, many of them began to praise Zhao Junyi. He passed the imperial examination at such a young age and was appreciated by important figures. This was truly amazing.
Yun Xi's eyes fell on the young man who was holding his chin up and looking arrogant. This was the second time she had seen this person since she traveled through time.
The first time was when I heard that she had fallen off a cliff and was injured and came back to take a look. That was two years ago.
From then on, Zhao Junyi basically stayed in the county to study.
In order to supervise his son, Zhao Pingxiu rented a house in the county. Even when the college was on vacation, the father and son rarely came back.
Yunxi basically stayed in the village. Even if she went to the county town for a few days every month, she was just busy. She had never met him.
Therefore, the two have not met in the past two years.
The boy was fair-skinned and thin, wearing a blue gown, looking like a typical poor scholar.
It can be seen that he was enjoying the villagers' praise and was in high spirits at this moment.
When he met Yun Xi's gaze, there was obvious surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
Just now, when Yun Xi walked into the yard, Xi hugged her before he could see her clearly, blocking his view.
He didn't expect that after only two years of not seeing her, she had grown into such a beautiful girl, completely different from the yellow-haired girl she was back then.
Even a coarse linen dress could not hide her beauty.
For a moment, he didn't want to cancel the engagement.
But then he thought of her background and sighed in his heart, thinking that marrying a peasant girl like this would not help him at all.
Alas, what a pity for such a beauty.
But soon a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. If he couldn't have a wife, what about a concubine?
Zhao Junyi's heart skipped a beat, it seemed like this was a very good idea.
However, the wife he wants to marry in the future must be from a wealthy and prominent family. This was the goal he secretly vowed to set for himself after what happened two years ago.
Before that, you must be clean and chaste, and never take a concubine. After all, many wealthy families value this.
Therefore, this marriage has to be cancelled first.
He would wait until he passed the imperial examination and had his wedding night, then he would come back to continue their relationship with her.
He was not afraid that she would marry someone else during this period, as he believed that it would be difficult for a woman who had broken off her engagement to get married again.
Besides, given how much she likes me, as long as I ask her to wait, she will definitely wait for me obediently.
Just like two years ago when she said she wanted to eat wild peaches, she risked her life to pick them.
Yun Xi looked at his unpredictable expression, not knowing what he was thinking, but felt that this man had something wrong with his brain.
He rolled his eyes and looked away silently.
He snorted in his heart, just now he had won the favor of a landlord, and his family was so proud of it.
Oh, with such behavior, even if Zhao Junyi can pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, he will probably be dragged down by this ignorant family.
Zhao Junyi, who was feeling very proud at this moment, had no idea what Yun Xi was thinking. When he saw Yun Xi rolling her eyes, he thought she was just being petty and thought that the little action of rolling her eyes was quite pretty.
Zhao Pingxiu had no idea what his son was thinking at the moment. He gave his wife Zhang a wink, and Zhang immediately understood and handed the thing in her hand over.
Zhao Pingxiu took it and was about to give it to Yun Huaiyuan, "Brother Huaiyuan, this is Xi's engagement letter. Please keep it well and return my son's engagement letter. We have nothing to do with each other's marriages and funerals in the future."
Yun Huaiyuan was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his fists were clenched so hard that they made cracking sounds.
He is the hunter in the village, a good hunter, tall and strong, and the way he looks when he's about to beat someone up is still very intimidating.
He took a few deep breaths and suddenly raised his hand.
Zhao Pingxiu, who was half a head shorter than him, subconsciously took a step back and quickly raised his arms to block in front of him, and said hurriedly,
"Brother Huaiyuan, my son will repay you in the future. Please don't let this hurt our relationship."
After saying that he didn't feel any pain, he looked up cautiously.
The other party had a dark face and had no intention of hitting him. Instead, he took the Geng Tie and put it in his arms.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his arms that were blocking his front.
Who knows the next second,
"boom……"
"Ow~"
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ouch~~"
Yun Huaiyuan really couldn't bear it anymore and decided not to endure it.
Regardless of whether to cancel the engagement or not, let’s just give him a beating first.
