Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen completely, and there was only a faint layer of fish belly white on the horizon.

Yun Chenyu got up early and finished washing up. His face was calm, and he held the jade pendant, which was a token of the engagement, tightly in his hand.

"If you don't want to break off the engagement, then don't do it. Why do you have such an expression?"

Sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice. Jin Jiusi, dressed in plain servant's clothes and clutching a feather duster in his hand, was carefully wiping the dust off the exquisite carved wood in the corner of the room.

She frowned slightly, her expression focused and serious.

At this moment, Yun Chenyu walked over, his eyes fell on Jin Jiusi, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You will go to the Jun family with me today."

Hearing this, Jin Jiusi couldn't help but look up, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Somehow, she always felt that Yun Chenyu was a little strange recently.

Yun Chenyu chuckled and explained, "You are a maid in this young master's courtyard, so naturally you have to accompany me and serve me."

Jin Jiusi raised his eyebrows and replied in a low voice: "...Yes."

I almost forgot that her current identity is just a little maid who can be called upon at any time and be ordered around by anyone.

This time when going to the Jun family, Madam Yun is naturally the one accompanying him.

These days, Mrs. Yun has been kept under house arrest in Yun Chenyu's own yard for various reasons, and she has long been full of resentment.

This time, going to the Jun family to cancel the engagement will surely go more smoothly.

Madam Yun has always favored Jun Muxue and wanted her to become the wife of her eldest son Yun Chenfeng.

In fact, this is exactly what Yun Chenyu expected to see.

It can even be said that the reason why he deliberately placed Madam Yun under house arrest was so that he could smoothly push forward the cancellation of the engagement today.

Along the way, in the carriage, Madam Yun's well-kept face was distorted with anger. "You disobedient and unfilial thing! How dare you put me under house arrest! Humph, I knew you were no match for a pure, gentle and lovely woman like Mu Xue!"

However, facing Mrs. Yun's endless scolding, Yun Chenyu seemed to be completely out of it.

He looked indifferent, with his eyes closed, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

I saw that the vermilion door was closed, and above the lintel hung a gold-plated plaque with the three big characters "Duke's Mansion" written in a flamboyant style, revealing a sense of majesty.

Two burly servants were standing at the door. They were originally guarding the door bored, but when they saw the Yun family's carriage coming, one of them immediately perked up, turned around and hurried into the mansion to report.

About a cup of tea later, hurried footsteps were heard and the butler hurried out of the door.

His face was filled with smiles as he repeatedly bowed to the Yun family members. Then he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, saying respectfully, "Prime Minister Yun, Madam, please come in, please come in!"

So, led by the housekeeper, everyone in the Yun family filed into the Duke's Mansion.

Duke Jun Mingzhang was sitting in the hall. When he saw the token in Yun Chenyu's hand, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Madam Yun took the opportunity to say, "My Lord, I'm so sorry. My son is so ignorant that he insisted on canceling this marriage. Actually, I have always felt that Mu Xue and Chen Feng are a perfect match!"

Hearing this, Jun Mingzhang's face became even gloomier, but for the sake of face, he forced himself not to lose his temper.

Yun Chenyu ignored his mother's words, placed the token on the table, and then said calmly, "Uncle, I came here today to return the engagement token with Miss Jun."

Jun Mingzhang slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "What an ignorant brat! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've been appointed Prime Minister. This engagement was made by the two elders, how can you cancel it just like that?"

Yun Chenyu didn't flinch and looked Jun Mingzhang straight in the eye. "I know that this action is a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion and Miss Jun, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. I hope that my uncle will grant my wish."

The Jun family's master snorted coldly and said, "I disagree. How can this matter be treated so frivolously? Where is the reputation of our Jun family?"

At this time, Madam Yun, who was standing beside him, quickly echoed, "Duke, if Chen Yu isn't good enough, there's still Chen Feng. My Chen Feng and Mu Xue..."

"Enough! Get out of my Jun family!" Jun Mingzhang roared angrily.

Suddenly, a clear voice like a yellow oriole singing in a valley came from a distance: "Dad, what happened?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walking slowly towards them with light steps.

She was wearing an extremely gorgeous golden dress, with an intricate and exquisite bun and pearl hairpins on her head.

This woman is none other than the eldest daughter of the Duke’s Mansion—Jun Muxue.

Jun Muxue walked slowly to the center of the hall, first bowed to Jun Mingzhang, who had an angry look on his face, and then turned around and bowed to Yun Chenyu and Madam Yun.

"Now that Prime Minister Yun is incredibly powerful in the imperial court, he no longer looks down on our Jun family. Mu Ling was stripped of his title of Crown Prince not long ago, and now your Yun family is breaking off the engagement. What a coincidence."

Jun Mingzhang's words all accused the Yun family of being ungrateful and ungrateful.

"Miss Jun has someone else in her heart. My young master is breaking off the engagement with her to fulfill her wish. Isn't this a happy thing for everyone?"

Jin Jiusi spoke unexpectedly, successfully making everyone in the hall look at her.

When Jun Muxue heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Who are you? Stop talking nonsense!" Jun Mingzhang pointed at Jin Jiusi, his chest heaving with anger.

"You are just a servant, how can you have the right to speak here?" Madam Yun looked as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.

Yun Chenyu pulled Jin Jiusi behind him and said to Jun Mingzhang sternly, "I have the responsibility to discipline the people in my room. But what she said is what I wanted to say."

"Chenyu, are you really so decisive?" Jun Muxue questioned Yun Chenyu sadly with tears in her eyes.

"Miss Jun already has someone in her heart. It's only a matter of time before you and I break off our engagement. This is the best choice." Yun Chenyu said calmly.

"Miss Jun? Now, you don't even want to call me Sister Jun? Good, very good."

Seeing Yun Chenyu so determined, Jun Muxue felt a pang of pain in her heart. She wiped the tears from her eyes, turned her head and said to Jun Mingzhang, "Dad, I agree to cancel the engagement."

After saying that, Jun Muxue walked out of the lobby without looking back.

Jun Mingzhang looked at her receding figure, and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Since then, the two families exchanged the tokens, and the engagement between Yunjun and his family was dissolved. The man and the woman got married and had nothing to do with each other.

Walking out of the Duke's Mansion, Yun Chenyu looked at Jin Jiusi beside him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Just now, why did you say that?"

Jin Jiusi looked up, met his eyes, and smiled sweetly.

"I don't want you to be wronged."

After saying that, she walked away first.
