Chapter 45

Luo Chaoyan was a little confused. Could it be that this girl had suffered a breakup and ended up in this state?

Yin Miaoshan had been holding back her tears for a long time, but at this moment, they seemed to have found a breakthrough and could not be stopped.

She sobbed and spoke incoherently, "He...he actually abandoned our relationship in order to...marry a lady from an official family. Wuwu...he has such a cruel heart..."

"That... that young lady from the official family is as beautiful as a fairy, and her temperament is elegant, but he... is like my cousin said, blind, and married a woman with pockmarks on her face. How can I feel... wuwu... I am so sad..."

"Cousin! He is such an ungrateful man... wuwu..."

Luo Chaoyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said angrily, "Yes! He is a heartless man, and a heartless man with a lame eye. Our little Miaoshan should stop crying. It is not worth it to be sad for such a heartless man."

"Cousin, three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged frogs are plentiful. The next one will be better, so don't be too sad."

Yin Miaoshan raised her red eyes and looked at her, saying, "Cousin, I just can't accept it. Just because the Yin family is a merchant family and has no official position, is he going to give up our relationship so easily?"

"What's wrong with merchants? Merchants allow thousands of households to buy what they need conveniently, and they also provide many people with jobs to support their families. He is just an unfaithful man who doesn't know the value of things. If you think merchants are ashamed because of him, I won't agree." Luo Chaoyan said seriously.

"Cousin... wuwu..." Yin Miaoshan buried her head in her arms sadly.

Luo Chaoyan patted her back gently and said, "Cry if you want to. You will feel better after crying."

Yin Miaoshan cried for a long time, and seemed to be tired of crying, so she fell asleep in Luo Chaoyan's arms.

"Cousin, the girl has fallen asleep." Chunyue said softly.

She stepped forward and helped Luo Chaoyan slowly put the person on the bed.

Seeing Yin Miaoshan finally fall into a deep sleep, Xia Die felt relieved. The girl has been in a bad mood recently and has difficulty falling asleep.

Luo Chaoyan called them aside and asked, "Who exactly is the unfaithful man that my cousin is referring to?"

"It's Mr. He from Heshan Academy in Jeju." Chunyue said.

Luo Chaoyan was stunned when she heard this, "He Yuanshan?"

Chunyue and Xiadie both nodded.

Luo Chaoyan smacked her lips. The He family was considered a noble family in Jeju, with poetry and literature passed down from generation to generation. The most famous Heshan Academy in Jeju was the school opened by the He family.

She had met He Yuanshan before in Jeju. He was elegant and handsome, and could really attract girls, but his personality was not very pleasing. He is a bit old-fashioned and likes to preach to them. Logically speaking, given my cousin's personality, she shouldn't like such a person.

"How come my cousin has anything to do with him?" she asked.

"Doesn't that old conservative He Yuanshan always consider himself a scholar and likes people to obey etiquette and laws all day long? How could he break his own rules?" Luo Chaoyan was a little puzzled.

Xia Yu sighed softly and said, "This is a long story..."

Originally, Yin Miaoshan and He Yuanshan looked down on each other.

Yin Miaoshan disliked He Yuanshan's preaching all day long, or he kept talking nonsense.

He Yuanshan, on the other hand, disliked her for being like a crazy girl and having no manners.

I thought they would never have any interaction because they disliked each other, but unexpectedly, by chance, when Yin Miaoshan was teaching a few hooligans a lesson on the street, she didn't notice that a hooligan lurking nearby almost stabbed her with a knife.

He Yuanshan saw it when he passed by and pushed the person away, thus saving her from danger. Then he was seriously injured.

Although Yin Miaoshan is a heartless person, she still has to repay the life-saving grace. So he often asked people to send some medicinal herbs to He Yuanshan as a token of his gratitude.

Later, when they were attending a poetry meeting, He Yuanshan was drugged by his cousin in order to have sex with her and make this talented cousin marry her.

After he knew about her Chinese medicine, he escaped and was spotted by Yin Miaoshan. Seeing how embarrassed he looked, she wanted to ridicule him, but when she saw the woman chasing after him, she guessed what had happened.

Not only did she scold his cousin until she cried, she also took him to see a doctor to relieve his embarrassment.

After a few interactions, the two became friends.

Chunyue thought of the old-fashioned man like Mr. He, who, in order to please his own girl, cooked for her and accompanied her around all day. In order to give the girl a birthday present, he even carved a jade hairpin himself, and his fingers were all worn out from the carving.

"Originally, Master He had already made an agreement with the young lady that after she had sent her cousin off in Kyoto, he would send someone to propose marriage."

Chunyue's eyes began to turn red, and she said, "But when the young lady returned, Mr. He sent someone to deliver a farewell letter. He said that he would marry the prefect's daughter soon, and hoped that the young lady could find a good man again."

Xia Yu pursed her lips and said, "The girl didn't believe that Mr. He was so heartless, so she went to the He family to talk to him despite the heavy rain, but she couldn't even get into the He family. She even asked someone to return the things the girl had given her."

"Since then, the girl has locked herself in the room, refusing to eat or drink. Not only has she lost a lot of weight, but she has also become very quiet. The master was very worried and wanted to know what happened. But the girl refused to speak, and wouldn't let us speak either."

Chun Yue wiped the tears from her face and continued, "The girl is stubborn. She felt that this was too embarrassing. She was afraid that the master would notice something, so she asked us to pack up and rush to Kyoto overnight."

"This is outrageous! How dare He Guban abandon my cousin in such an unclear manner? It's really hateful." Fengli clenched her fists, wishing He Yuanshan would beat him up in front of her.

Luo Chaoyan was a little puzzled. He Yuanshan was a gentleman and had done so much for his cousin, which showed that he was sincere to her. Otherwise, with his conservative personality, he would definitely not change for his cousin.

"Later, didn't you go and check what happened to the He family?"

Chunyue shook her head and said, "The girl wouldn't let me. She said that since we were destined to say goodbye, the reason didn't matter."

Luo Chaoyan was speechless. The emotional world was truly complicated. If her cousin was really so carefree, she wouldn't have cried so sadly.

Shu Lan asked, "By the way, Chunyue, you came in such a hurry, did you leave a letter for your uncle?"

"I left a letter in the girl's courtyard." Chunyue said.

"What nonsense!"

Yin came in from outside. She had heard the whole story and said angrily, "The girl is so willful. You should have persuaded her, or you should have told the head of the family. The girl is fine now. If something happens, it depends on how you deal with it!"

Luo Chaoyan said, "Mom, you know my cousin's temper. If she gets stubborn, not to mention a bull, not even a bear can pull her back."

Yin sighed, feeling sorry for her niece and worried about being criticized. She looked at Chunyue and Xiayu and asked, "Did you destroy the letters between the young lady and Mr. He?"

Chunyue nodded. "After the young lady left the He family, she came back and found all the letters and belongings with him and burned them, except for..."

"A jade hairpin made by He Yuanshan?" Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows.

Haruzuki nodded.

Yin said lovingly, "This silly girl."

"Mom, the most urgent thing is to have someone write a letter to my uncle, explaining the whole story, and then ask him to find out if there is any problem with the He family." Luo Chaoyan said.

Yin said angrily, "Why are you still asking about that unfaithful man?"

"Mom, the imperial physician said that heart disease needs to be cured with heart medicine. If we knew why He Yuanshan did this, maybe my cousin would give up completely." Luo Chaoyan said.

"What you said makes sense. I'll quickly send someone to deliver a letter to your uncle." Yin frowned.

She glared at her daughter with some disdain, "Little Miaoshan is so bold and reckless, she learned it from you."

Luo Chaoyan's face twitched. Could this be blamed on her? She remembered that she had never taught her how to find a partner and fall in love.
