Although those things happened between him and Su Qianxue, he did not like Su Qianxue.
She even made it clear several times that he didn't need to be responsible. It was obvious that she had no interest in him, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape her parents' orders in the end.
Now that the betrothal gift has been given, no one knows what Su Qianxue’s plan is.
The more Pei Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became. No matter what, he would never marry Su Qianxue.
His parents had taken the initiative to arrange marriage and engagement for him without his consent, and he didn't believe that they could get married and enter the bridal chamber on his behalf.
Thinking of this, Pei Yu gritted his teeth, and his idea of escaping the marriage became extremely firm.
"Sister Yao, I am interested in you."
He looked at Yun Wanyao with affectionate eyes, still calling her Sister Yao, not taking her previous words to heart at all.
"????"
Yun Wanyao’s eyes widened instantly and she looked at him in shock.
Well, although she had already known from her younger sister that he liked her more in his heart during this period of time, she did not expect him to say it so bluntly.
The betrothal gifts had been given and the wedding date was approaching. Didn't he know how ridiculous it was to say such things to her at this juncture?
Once the news gets out, not only will he be despised, but she will also be despised by the world? She should have known that this guy looking for her would never bring good things.
Yun Wanyao subconsciously looked around, and when she saw the maid guarding the door, her nervous mood finally relaxed.
Yes, this is her home, and there are countless people guarding it openly and secretly. Anything that is unfavorable to her will never be spread out.
So, she had nothing to be nervous about.
"You were engaged to the King of Qi before. Because of the engagement, I could only bury my feelings for you deep in my heart."
"But now that your engagement has been cancelled, you are free, so I will fight for the love I have. Sister Yao, do you know how happy I was when I heard that your engagement with the King of Qi had been cancelled..."
He was still chattering on about his affection for her, and his words were so sincere and heartfelt, but Yun Wanyao was extremely disgusted and quickly waved her hand to interrupt him.
"Stop, don't say that for now."
Seeing this, Pei Yu frowned and asked in confusion, "Why? Sister Yao doesn't believe me?"
"What if I believe it? What if I don't believe it?"
Yun Wanyao looked impatient and her tone was very bad.
"General Pei, have you forgotten that you just proposed marriage to the Grand Marshal's Mansion? It's not appropriate to tell me these things now, right?"
"I am indeed a free man, but you are not, so please respect yourself, General. Also, I remind you again, General, please call me Miss Yun."
She thought she had made herself clear enough, but Pei Yu didn't know where he got his confidence from, and he always believed that she was interested in him.
The reason for such a distant attitude is simply due to the current situation.
So he explained eagerly.
"Sister Yao, I didn't ask for the betrothal gift. It was my parents who did it. I have you in my heart and will never marry another woman."
"You are not totally without feelings for me, right? So, how about you accompany me to escape the marriage and go to the frontier together?"
"I swear that I will treat you well in this life and will never let you down."
She never expected that he would actually plan to elope with her...
At first Yun Wanyao was completely in disbelief, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears and she had heard it wrong, but when she realized that this was true, she was so angry that she laughed.
"How ridiculous! I am the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion. I can marry any noble family I want. Why would I elope with you?"
"Is your Pei family noble? Are you, Pei Yu, so great? Are you worthy of me to elope with you regardless of my reputation and my parents? Where do you get your confidence from?"
"I used to call you brother because of the kindness we grew up together. Do you really take yourself seriously?"
"I'm telling you clearly now that I don't have the slightest affection for you. Even if you marry me in a formal ceremony, I won't bother, and I will never elope with you."
"You'd better put away your dirty thoughts as soon as possible and don't use them on me."
These words were quite blunt and harsh, and could be described as extremely merciless, completely tearing apart the face that had been maintained in the past.
Pei Yu was stunned and stared at her in a daze, as if he didn't expect that such a pretty little mouth could say such harsh words.
After a moment, he came back to his senses. His face looked very dark and ugly, his eyes were particularly hurt, and his voice was extremely embarrassed.
"Yao..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly thought of something, so he quickly closed his mouth, paused, and then changed his words.
"Miss Yun, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude and offensive, but I still want to say that what I said is true. I really love you and want to stay with you forever."
"It's not elopement, it's running away from marriage. We just go to the border to avoid the limelight. Once the wedding date is over and the limelight is over, we can come back..."
No way, she has explained it so clearly, but this guy is still fantasizing about elopement with her?
Could it be that he doesn't understand what people are saying? Yun Wanyao laughed, her eyes full of naked mockery, without any concealment.
"That's just your idea, not mine. Have you ever considered my wishes? I've already told you that I have no feelings for you. Don't you understand?"
"Whether you want to run away or elope, I don't like you, so why should I get involved in this mess?"
"It's not only rude and offensive, it's stupid and absurd for you to tell me this."
This guy, could it be that he really thinks he has some irresistible charm, and that just by waving his finger at her, she will be completely bewitched and obey him without hesitation?
"You, have no feelings for me at all? No, that's not true. I don't believe it. You must be treating me like this because of the engagement today, right?"
He seemed to have finally listened to her words, but he didn't believe them at all. He shook his head vigorously to deny it, and looked at her eagerly and expectantly.
Seeing this, Yun Wanyao really wanted to laugh.
This guy, why is he still actively brainwashing me? This is the first time I've seen someone brainwashing me since I was a child. How come I didn't know before that he was this kind of person? Look at his appearance. If I use my sister's words, it's probably a self-attack strategy, right? She said it so bluntly, but he still found a reason to explain her rejection. He is indeed a natural love brain.
No wonder he did so many bad and unscrupulous things for Su Qianxue in the plot.
"no."
She spoke slowly, ruthlessly crushing his expectations.
"You are nothing but a hypocrite who is irresponsible, knows how to escape when encountering problems, and tries to drag innocent people into the water~"
"Why would I be interested in you? It's not like I can't get married, so why should I put myself in a difficult position to be with you?"
Since the relationship has already been torn apart, Yun Wanyao doesn’t care if it’s not more thorough.
Otherwise, given how stubborn he was, he would never believe that she had no feelings for him, and who knows, he would even go on to cause trouble for her.
Given his current situation, it would not be a good idea to continue acting recklessly.
"Do you feel that you are not what I said you were? Those are all slanders and defamations I made against you?"
"No, you are. I have not slandered you at all."
Without waiting for Pei Yu's response, she continued to speak.
"You and Su Qianxue did such a shameful thing in public, which was watched by many people and spread widely. You should marry her and take responsibility for your actions."
"But what about you? You just let it go and let your parents decide."
"Now, the engagement has been finalized, the betrothal gifts have been given, and the wedding date is approaching, but you are trying to escape the marriage. It would be fine if you just escaped, but you actually want to drag me into this and let me bear the blame for you."
"If this isn't selfish, irresponsible, and a villain who drags innocent people down, then what is it?"
Hearing this, Pei Yu's face turned ugly. He frowned and said hesitantly, "I didn't..."
"there is nothing?"
However, he was ruthlessly interrupted just as he opened his mouth, and the mockery in Yun Wanyao's eyes became more intense.
"You didn't intend to be irresponsible? Or did you not intend to drag me down and take the blame for you?"
"If you don't have any, why do you come and tell me these things?"
"Don't you really know that if I were to be bewitched by you and agree to elope with you, what would be the consequences if the news got out?"
"If that's the case, then the world will put all the blame for you running away from your marriage on me~"
"They will think that I, Yun Wanyao, am shameless and have a corrupt character, which is why I did something that ruined my marriage."
"Even my parents will be implicated and criticized, and the reputation of the Ningguo Mansion will be completely ruined."
"Everyone is busy scolding me and the Ningguo Mansion, how can they care about you?"
"Even if they could take care of you, they would probably think that you were seduced by me and did such a thing because you were confused for a moment. It is understandable. If anyone wants to blame someone, they will only blame me."
"After all, since ancient times, whenever something like this happens, no matter what the truth is, it is always the woman who gets scolded."
"And you, knowing that the matter with Su Qianxue is at the center of the storm and everyone is paying close attention to it, still told me all this. What on earth are you thinking?"
"You still want me to bear the blame for you?"
Fortunately, she had never been interested in him. When she heard his words that exaggerated his affection for her, she felt absurd and contemptuous, but did not feel any impulse.
If it were a woman who was madly in love with him, she would be bewitched by him, lose her mind and fall in love, and she would really do something like elope with him.
Then, she would definitely be criticized by thousands of people, and would bear all the infamy and consequences of Pei Yu's escape from marriage alone, becoming his shield.
"See, I didn't slander you, did I? You're just a hypocrite."
"I used to think you were responsible, but now it seems like a huge joke."
"Your actions today have completely overturned my previous understanding of you."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Pei Yu, I really misjudged you before. You are not worthy of the title of General Weiyuan. I look down on you and have no interest in you."
"Whether you want to escape marriage or elope, it's your own business and has nothing to do with me."
"Also, if even a single word of what you said to me today gets out, don't blame me for being ruthless to you in public in the future."
She could guarantee that the servants in the mansion would not spread the matter, but she could not guarantee that Pei Yu would not say anything nonsense.
Therefore, it is necessary to make some harsh threats.
Although Yun Wanyao doesn't have much ability, she is the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion after all. With her status, her words always carry some weight.
"If there is nothing else, General Pei, please go back. Uncle Liu, please see him off."
Having figured out his purpose and having said everything that needed to be said, Yun Wanyao instantly lost interest and asked someone to send him away.
Pei Yu's expression darkened, and his pupils suddenly contracted, "Yao... Yun Wanyao, wait, I have something else to say~"
He was very unwilling to leave without achieving his goal, but this was the Ningguo Mansion, and if Yun Wanyao didn't want to, he had no choice but to pester her.
Butler Liu walked in steadily through the open door. He first bowed to Yun Wanyao and called her "Miss". Then, his eyes fell on Pei Yu.
Those eyes, with a gleam of brilliance in the turbidity, contained a hint of majesty. At first glance, they seemed half kind and half oppressive.
"Mr. Pei, please."
There was a smile on his face, but his voice was full of irresistible momentum, and he made a gesture of invitation with one hand.
The host had already ordered him to leave, so even though Pei Yu didn't want to leave, he definitely couldn't stay any longer.
This is the Ningguo Mansion, not a vegetable market. How can he just not leave if he wants to?
If he angered someone, the next moment a guard would put a knife to his neck and throw him out.
"Okay, Miss Yun, I'll come see you another day. Goodbye."
There were so many things he wanted to say, but in the end, they could only turn into a reluctant farewell. Pei Yu clenched his fists in his sleeves and left unwillingly.
How can that be?
How could she have no feelings for him? Pei Yu lowered his head, his eyes full of scarlet bloodshot, filled with resentment.
"Heh, he's engaged to me and wants to elope with me. Am I a despicable person? I really gave him face."
Not until that person completely disappeared did Yun Wanyao retract her gaze, curl her lips and curse angrily.
Whenever Yun Wanyao thought that in his heart, she was such a cheap person who could be offended with words at will, she became extremely irritated.
She wanted to scold him severely and curse him to death, but her upbringing made it impossible for her to say that.
This feeling made her feel very depressed, and she could only clench her fists and sulk.
She was curious about his plans after the engagement, but unexpectedly, his plans turned out to be her...
This feeling is like wanting to watch the fire from the other side of the river, but unexpectedly, the fire actually burns herself. Who can understand?
Yun Wanyao was about to vomit to death.
During dinner, she still looked unhappy, which caused Mrs. Yun to stare at her frequently, feeling very curious.
"Yao'er, what did Pei Yu say? Why do you look so unhappy?"
After enduring for a long time, Mrs. Yun finally couldn't help but ask out loud.
The whole afternoon has passed, and the girl's face has been dark and ugly, and her lips are pouted so much that you could hang an oil bottle on them.
"What else can I say? He came to me to elope. I don't know where I gave him the confidence to dare to say such things to me."
Yun Wanyao was venting her anger. She grabbed the chopsticks with both hands and poked the buns in the bowl hard, telling Madam Yun everything without hiding anything.
There were no secrets between mother and daughter. Besides, she was in urgent need of venting, so how could she hide the guy's offensive behavior? "What?"
After hearing her words, Madam Yun's face changed drastically in an instant, and became as gloomy as if a storm was about to come.
Her eyes were burning with anger. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I just got engaged and now I'm trying to seduce you to elope?"
"This Pei family kid is really immoral, dishonorable, lawless, and doesn't take our Ningguo Mansion seriously at all."
The eldest daughter of their family, who was raised with great care, had to be married off in a formal ceremony even if she was to marry a nobleman. But this boy dared to coax her away with just his mouth.
This move was undoubtedly a blatant disgrace to Yun Wanyao, to their Ningguo Mansion, and to the face of their Lord Duke. It was simply intolerable.
Mrs. Yun, who was always gentle and good-tempered, was now furious, and it seemed that even her hair stood up.
She pinched the handkerchief tightly, her face turning blue and purple, looking as ugly as it could be.
"That's what Mom said. I think so too."
Yun Wanyao nodded in agreement and couldn't help but poke the steamed bun hard again.
Seeing such unruly behavior, Madam Yun frowned. She wanted to say something to her, but she felt that the most urgent thing at the moment was Pei Yu, and she should not be distracted by other things.
So, I just looked away and pretended that out of sight, out of mind.
"Well, if he really likes you, he can just try to turn down the marriage proposal and come to our house to propose marriage openly."
"But he is so good that he lets the bad things happen to him. He doesn't follow the right path, but takes the crooked path and does such dirty, bad and disgusting things."
"Hey, how could the Pei family, which has two generations of pure people, give birth to a young man with evil intentions like him?"
Mrs. Kuai Yun used to think that Pei Yu was a young hero with a righteous character, the best among all the noble sons in Beijing, much better than her own good-for-nothing Yun Wanye.
Now it seems that she was blind and made a mistake.
Fortunately, Yun Wanyao had no interest in him, otherwise, after what happened today, who knows what kind of trouble would have arisen.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yun suddenly didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.
"That's right. What a pity that Yun Wanye is not here. Otherwise, I would have asked him to put a sack on that guy in the middle of the night and beat him until he can't take care of himself. I'll see if he dares to treat me like this again in the future."
Although there are many masters in the mansion, that guy's martial arts is not bad, and he is also the general of the current dynasty. After thinking about it, Yun Wanyao felt that only Yun Wanye, who is fearless and good at playing dirty tricks, can be competent for this matter.
Madam Yun: “…”
Oh, is this nice lady from a noble family now so irritable?
He actually learned how to put a sack on someone.
Could it be that he was infected by Yun Wanye? It seems that he was really angry this time.
The mother and daughter were chatting casually, but they didn't expect that their words had been spread.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
The dark-clad secret guard, with a curved sword hanging from his waist, knelt straight before the imperial desk and reported everything that happened at the Ningguo Mansion without missing a single word.
On the imperial desk, the young and handsome emperor looked at the memorials seriously. His dignified face showed no emotion at all. His voice was low and calm, exuding an innate supreme aura.
"Put it in a sack? Since that is what Yao'er wants, I will oblige her. Fengyan, I will leave this matter to you and Zhuque."
"Well, the rebellion in the southwest still needs General Weiyuan to go and suppress it. Don't be too heavy-handed, or you'll miss out on important matters." (End of this chapter)
