“Fiancee…” Zong Shou also felt really helpless. When he left the city a few days ago he had predicted such a situation.
Travelling such a long distance over here, most likely it was to find him.
His heart felt more or less a little uncomfortable accepting the thirteen years memory of the previous Zong Shou, his heart filled with resentment. This matter still had to be dealt with sooner or later, and he didn’t wish to become entangled too much in this.
“She came here to annul the marriage?”
Seeing the more or less weird expression on Yin Yang’s face, Zong Shou didn’t put it to heart. Thinking to himself that meeting her now was also a good thing, he directly walked into the hall of the front courtyard.
The lodgings that Cloud Saint City arranged for them were really huge, a small courtyard with a quaternary system. Once Zong Shou walked into the front hall, he saw the two young women sitting within the hall.
A mid-teen, red lips, white teeth, an apricot face with rosy cheeks. She was wearing a red arrow sleeved shirt which really fit her. Although her growth wasn’t as alluring as that of Chuxue, beneath that shirt was a tempting body.
The other woman was dressed like a servant, around twenty years of age, looking beautiful and dignified. Her face was really dark, looking really unhappy.
Outside of the city gates, he had seen the two of them from far away, but their appearance now looked a little different.
Watching Zong Shou and the others walk in, the brows of the girl instantly rose, looking over Zong Shou. After a short while her face was filled with disappointment, while her servant coldly scoffed, “You finally show your face? You made my family’s missus come over three times and each time she waited for several hours! Prince Zong Shou, the air you put off is really huge…”
Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, too lazy to bother with the impolite words. Since they were destined to flip at one another, there was no need to be courteous, neither did they need to be polite. He directly sat down in the hall expressionlessly, “Miss Yiren is here to annul the marriage? No problem, Zong Shou understands your problems and difficulties, and I won’t dare to force you. Uncle Yin bring the ink and brush over, let me write an annulment letter…”
Yin Yang’s face was filled with awkwardness as he didn’t move. That red shirt teen looked towards Yin Yang and Zong Shou with a weird expression, the brows slightly furrowing, “Who says I want to annul the marriage? Our marriage was decided by our parents and all the steps have been completed, only left with finalizing the date and completing the marriage. How can we annul it so easily? If you want to annul the marriage, what kind of situation are you putting me, Xuanyuan Yiren, in?”
Zong Shou’s mouth was agape, at a total loss. What kind of situation was this? This Xuanyuan Yiren came all the way here to find him not to annul the marriage?
Was she worried about something, or did she have other things to consider?
He recalled that in this ancient era, although they paid a lot of attention to the loyalty of the women, the atmosphere was a really open one. With the status of Xuanyuan Yiren’s parents, she shouldn’t be affected that much.
The only thing would be that her reputation would be slightly bad.
Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t stop, staring at Zong Shou furiously, “Do you think I, Xuanyuan Yiren, am such a treacherous person?”
Zong Shou was getting more and more speechless. For some reason she gave off a really strong aura, suppressing him so much that he was unable to go against her.
His brow furrowing, he made a soft cough. “Naturally not, only I heard that Miss Yiren greatly opposed this marriage long ago. Uncle and auntie has also not asked much about Zong Shou, and their attitudes are unknown. I, Zong Shou, am unable to protect my position now, and I don’t dare drag you down with me. Actually, Miss Yiren you don’t need to mind too much, avoiding a crisis is a normal matter. This matter affects your entire life and we should be really careful. Moreover, it was between our parents and our opinions weren’t taken into account, I myself disapprove-”
“Shut up!” Xuanyuan Yiren shouted coldly, a shining sword pointed right at Zong Shou’s nose, cold and sharp and filled with a solemn killing intent.
The eyes of the red shirt teen looked like they were shooting out flames, stubborn to the maximum.
“Although my name is Yiren, if you read it the other way around, it is benevolence and righteousness! The surname Xuanyuan came from an ancient Saint, it is a noble surname and no one will taint it! If Uncle Weiran was still here, I wouldn’t mind annulling the marriage. I don’t like you, so I naturally can say whatever I want. But now that uncle is not here, if I destroy the marriage that would be adding insult to injury, and totally ungrateful!”
The corner of Zong Shou’s eyes twisted once more as he stared furiously at Yin Yang at the side.
Scolding out silently, he thought to himself, Was this the fiancee that you told me wanted to annul the marriage?
Only to see Yin Yang looked really happy and was looking on with appreciation.
Sighing softly, Zong Shou could only feel totally powerless. He frowned, “Did Miss Yiren ask your parents before you came? How about this, I will still write the letter and bring it back and let your parents decide. This marriage annulment matter isn’t because of the Xuan Mountain City Xuanyuan Family. I, Zong Shou, have a girl I like and choose to annul it…”
The woman who was dressed like a maid instantly showed a joyous look.
Xuanyuan Yiren was startled. Taking a look at Zong Shou, she smiled coldly. “I don’t like your character, initiating the annulment was it truly not to drag me down? You are trying to act like a nice person? Or is it that you know that you will definitely die? Although you are useless, you are still my future husband. Don’t say such words in front of me! You have people you like, then just marry them in the future. My father married so many wives and my mother didn’t say anything. What did this have to do with annulling the marriage?”
Zong Shou was totally speechless and didn’t know how to continue, what he should say. Xuanyuan Yiren had sheathed her sword, looking valiant and heroic, giving off an aura of cold purity. “No matter what my parents think, I, Xuanyuan Yiren, won’t be a traitor and unrighteous person. Don’t worry, you are my fiance. From today on, I would follow beside you, with me here you won’t die at any other people’s’ hands! Even if you truly are trash, no one will dare to go against you…”
As she said that, not bothering about whether or not Zong Shou agreed, she walked off towards the inner courtyard.
Zong Shou was left stunned in the hall. He was stunned for a long while, only to see the young woman stand in front of him with an ugly expression as she bowed.
“Xuan Mountain City Li Yunniang greets the Prince!”
Zong Shou was startled again. Not only because the aura this woman gave off was much stronger than Yin Yang, even the current him couldn’t see through it. This Li Yunniang gave off an undisguised killing intent as she looked over coldly, like two icy knives.
“Little miss always does things independently, her personality is a little weird and naive. Prince, please forgive her! But if I were you, I would annul this marriage sooner or later. Not long ago Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect’s seventh direct disciple has already sought her hand in marriage. Not only did the City Lord’s wife agree, even the City Lord himself is showing signs of agreeing.”
“Coldly laughing, Li Yunniang’s expression turned to one with much meaning. “Prince, don’t have any weird ideas. The longer you drag this on, the more unfavorable the situation is. You are a piece of trash that can’t cultivate, how are you worthy of my Family’s missus? That is all I have to say, Prince. Please think about it clearly…”
