Chapter 8 Chapter 8 If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. ...
==Chapter 8==
Feng Wenyu was confused by the question.
But Qiao Anyu had already left, so she couldn't ask for clarification. She and Jiang Zhilan looked at each other, and Jiang Zhilan also frowned.
Jiang Zhilan glanced at Feng Wenyu inconspicuously, with a vague guess in her heart.
Feng Wenyu was short-sighted, but he was the only person Qiao Anyu could specifically mention. However, Jiang Zhilan did not express her guess. Now that Ayu and Lord Gu were already married, there was no need to create unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, she also discovered that Feng Wenyu was a little absent-minded when he was arguing with Qiao Anyu, as if he was forcing himself to stay awake.
Feng Wenyu couldn't help but speak out:
"It's always like this. They come and go for no apparent reason, leaving me completely bewildered."
Jiang Zhilan tried to divert her attention: "Okay, if you don't get along with her, just meet her less often."
Today they had no choice but to give face to Old Madam Qiao. Normally, no girl would be so tactless as to gather them together.
Jiang Zhilan smiled and said:
"But you, didn't you go to see Master Gu? Why didn't you talk to Master Gu for a while?"
Feng Wenyu's face froze, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Jiang Zhilan was stunned. She frowned and whispered, "What's going on?"
Feng Wenyu forced a tug at his lips.
She couldn't say that Gu Yushi felt they were not suitable for each other, but she couldn't hide this matter. By the time Gu Yushi came to her house, the news would probably spread throughout the capital.
She could only mumble, "I'm fine."
Jiang Zhilan really wanted to give her a small target mirror to let her see her current expression. Is it okay as she said?
Feng Wenyu didn't want to mention this matter, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the group of male guests. They were gathered in another place, not too far away, so she could barely see their faces clearly, but perhaps she had something hidden in her heart. She looked at them all and didn't like anyone, and couldn't pick out any outstanding one.
Feng Wenyu was discouraged.
She didn't want to lose herself because of a momentary anger.
Feng Wenyu was in low spirits. She said listlessly, "Sister Jiang, I want to go back."
Jiang Zhilan didn't stop her, and finally said:
"I'll tell Madam Qiao that if you're not feeling well, go back and rest early."
She found an excuse for Feng Wenyu.
Feng Wenyu's nose felt sore, and she nodded hurriedly, then led Jinshu and Shuyao away. After leaving the Qiao Mansion, she subconsciously looked around and did not see the Gu family's carriage.
In the past, whenever she and Gu Yushi attended a banquet together, Gu Yushi would always deliberately park his carriage next to hers, hoping that she would see him at a glance.
Thinking of this, Feng Wenyu lowered his eyes sadly.
She couldn't understand how a person could change without any warning.
Jinshu looked at her worriedly and called her, "Miss."
Feng Wenyu sniffed and said, "Go back home."
She had to go back home and tell her mother and father about this so that everyone at home could be mentally prepared.
Breaking off an engagement has always been a tarnish to a woman's reputation, but she was not particularly worried about it. Gu Yushi might change, but she always believed in Gu Yushi's character. In this matter, even if Gu Yushi wanted to break off the engagement, he would come up with an appropriate reason.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. My heart feels like it's boiling with sour water, so sour that it makes my vision blurry.
Feng Wenyu cursed angrily: "Asshole!"
It was clearly him who came to provoke her, but in the end he was the one who said it was inappropriate!
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she went straight to the main courtyard and told Zhou Yueyu about this matter. In front of her mother, she couldn't hold back her tears and fell:
"It's inexplicable. He completely dismissed himself with just one inappropriate sentence."
"If he felt it was inappropriate, why did he come to provoke me in the first place?"
She cried like a tabby cat, with red eyes and cheeks, her body twitching, and she kept gasping for breath. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at people with tears in their eyes. She was the youngest heir in the mansion and had always been spoiled by the family.
The only person she didn't get along with was Qiao Anyu, and the two of them only had verbal disputes. Qiao Anyu didn't like her, but she also disdained to use her family background and her aunt, the queen, to pressure others.
When had she ever been bullied so harshly?
Zhou Yueyu's face suddenly turned cold. When she betrothed her little daughter to Gu Yu, she didn't want Gu Yu to bully her.
Zhou Yueyu hugged the man and patted him, her chest heaving with anger:
"Since he feels it's not suitable, the two families can just cancel the engagement. Who would bother him?"
When Feng Wenxu came to the main courtyard to pay his respects, he heard a burst of crying. He walked in quickly, and when he saw who was crying, he was shocked: "Mom, what happened? Who bullied Ayu?"
Zhou Yueyu glared at him angrily:
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, how would Ayu and Gu Yushi know each other?"
Feng Wenxu was confused, Gu Yushi?
Even though he is Ayu's biological brother, he cannot go against his conscience and say that Gu Yushi treats Ayu badly.
Zhou Yueyu explained the matter in a few words, becoming increasingly angry as she spoke:
"You don't have to wait for him to come. You and your father can take the token and go directly to the Gu family to cancel the marriage!"
Feng Wenxu was shocked. He glanced at his crying sister, then at his visibly angry mother. He couldn't believe it and was a little hesitant: "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Zhou Yueyu sneered:
"Regardless of whether there's a misunderstanding or not, since he's put his words before Ah Yu, canceling the engagement is inevitable!"
A woman's reputation should not be ruined like this.
"If you treat Ah Yu like this because of a misunderstanding before the wedding, wouldn't Ah Yu be wronged to death if another misunderstanding happened after the wedding?"
Her eldest daughter married into the royal family, while her youngest daughter was betrothed to a man from a poor family. She felt that her youngest daughter was wronged. If Gu Yu had not been a young and promising man when she met him, she would never have agreed to this marriage.
Everyone has their own circle.
In the future, the eldest daughter lived a life of luxury and her family was prominent, but the younger daughter could not even enter the inner circle. She had to bow and salute when she saw the eldest daughter and even other officials. As time went on, how could the younger daughter not feel resentful?
Sisters will gradually become distant from each other.
It’s not that blood ties are unstable, but that’s human nature.
People always stay away from people or things that make them embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Feng Wenxu fell silent. After all, the bond between classmates could not compare to the bond between siblings. He sat down and began to think about canceling the engagement. He sighed:
"You always have to find a reason to cancel an engagement."
In this kind of situation, whether it is the woman or the man who takes the initiative, it is the woman whose reputation will be damaged.
Thinking of this, Feng Wenxu frowned, and he also had some opinions about Gu Yushi in his heart. He said such nice things at the beginning, but what was the result?
Feng Wenyu felt guilty and sad when she saw her mother and brother were troubled by her. She wiped away her tears:
"Don't worry, mother and big brother. Just wait for him to come."
"People like him will think things through."
Feng Wenyu said in a muffled voice.
However, Zhou Yueyu exchanged a glance with Feng Wenxu. At this time, Ah Yu actually still believed that Gu Yushi would consider her reputation?
When Minister Feng came off duty in the evening, Zhou Yueyu told him about this matter. Feng Rongyu frowned for a long time, then shook his head with a bit of regret.
Zhou Yueyu couldn't bear to see him like this and became annoyed:
"Why, Master, you are reluctant to part with this son-in-law?"
Feng Rongyu wiped his hands and said, "When looking for a husband for my daughter, family background and appearance are not important, character is the most important thing."
This was also the reason why the two families decided on the marriage.
Zhou Yueyu stopped talking.
Feng Rongyu shook his head:
"He has a good character. Even if their feelings have cooled after their marriage, he will not neglect Ah Yu's dignity. Besides, he will be young and promising in the future, so he can also gain face in front of the emperor now."
Zhou Yueyu sneered: "After all, the key point is not the last sentence."
Feng Rongyu had been married to her for many years, so he naturally understood that she was taking her anger out on him:
"I didn't say anything, it's just a pity for this marriage."
What good is a distinguished family background? Without descendants who can stand up, the family will eventually fall into decline.
But no matter how regrettable it was, Feng Rongyu did not object to breaking off the engagement.
After all, Gu Yushi is not the only person with good character in this world. Since Gu Yushi has expressed his intention to cancel the engagement, if my family refuses, won't Ayu always be inferior to him in the future?
Zhou Yueyu calmed down and got on the bed:
"You're not confused yet."
But Zhou Yueyu still couldn't sleep well and tossed and turned.
Feng Rongyu said helplessly: "What happened again?"
Zhou Yueyu choked up and said:
"It's all my fault. I agreed to this marriage. Otherwise, how could Ah Yu be in this dilemma now?"
"Besides, no matter how harsh Ah Yu's words were, I could tell she hadn't let go of Gu Yushi at all."
Nowadays, widows are encouraged to remarry and break off engagements to find another partner. At most, some people will say something sour, but Zhou Yueyu is not worried about this.
What Zhou Yueyu was worried about was that Ah Yu must be feeling very upset when she still hadn't let go of Gu Yu.
Feng Rongyu patted her on the back and told her not to blame herself:
"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come."
"After this marriage is called off, you can look at the two families for her. Once she sees the new one, she won't remember the old one anymore."
That's what I said...
Zhou Yueyu was so exhausted that she couldn't even cry, but she had to admit that what he said made sense. She couldn't help but think about the unmarried families in the capital.
Feng Wenyu didn't know that even before she broke off the engagement, her parents had already thought of finding another man for her.
Even if she knew, she would not refute it.
She didn't really want to hang herself on this tree.
Would she not have gotten married if Gu Yu was not around?
Feng Wenyu was busy at this time. She put the things that Gu Yushi gave her, including jewelry and various letters, into a box, preparing to return them to Gu Yushi when the time comes.
If the other party doesn't want it, she will throw it away.
When she read the storybooks, she hated those who were indecisive and kept lingering on their ties the most.
She doesn't want to be the kind of person she hates.
Jinshu and Shuyao looked on helplessly and wanted to go forward to help, but the girl wouldn't let them. They had no choice but to watch the girl clean up herself.
They looked at each other and felt that the girl was unlucky.
I really met the wrong person.
Why didn’t I realize that Lord Gu was such a bastard before!
Gu Yushi always does what he says.
Three days later, Feng Wenyu saw Shuyao running towards him, pointing outside with one hand, panting:
"Miss, Auntie...Master Gu is here!"
Shuyao subconsciously called him son-in-law, but when she thought that Lord Gu and the girl would no longer have any relationship in the future, she quickly swallowed her words.
Feng Wenyu was fully prepared, but when the moment really came, her face still changed slightly and she couldn't help but clench her handkerchief.
