Unexpectedly, the playful Xiang Lan came to Beijing at this time and even cancelled the marriage proposal from the Yan family.
Su Chenyu remembered that in her previous life, Xiang Lan entered the Yan family after the mourning period. She didn't recognize Xiang Lan just now. The Xiang Lan that she saw in her previous life was completely different from the Xiang Lan now.
At that time, Xiang Lan seemed to have been smoothed out, and had lost all hope in life, no different from an ordinary lady. But now Xiang Lan was lively, with a spirit that other young ladies did not have.
Xiang Lan glanced at Yu Jiahui standing in front of her. She saw through the woman's intentions at a glance: "When will it be your turn as an outsider to ask for justice for the Yan family's affairs?"
"I am good friends with Letang, and her affairs are my affairs. You have brought shame upon the Yan family, so what's wrong with me seeking justice for the Yan family?"
Xiang Lan was not afraid of her. She listened to the discussions of the people around her without changing her expression. "Yu Jiahui, I, Xiang Lan, have always been a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If you were just Yan Letang's close friend, how could I have taken the initiative to withdraw from this marriage? The Yu family fell, and you wanted to stay in the capital, but you used the most despicable method. I can't tolerate my fiancé marrying a concubine before I even get married."
Xiang Lan's words shocked everyone. She didn't think that the matter was shameful at all and spoke openly and frankly, which caught Yu Jiahui off guard and also frightened Yan Letang who was hiding in the dark. How could Xiang Lan not have any girl's reserve and dare to say anything?
After hearing this, everyone figured out the relationship. It was nothing more than that Yan Zhirong, the young master of the Yan family, had a relationship with Yu Jiahui, but Xiang Lan had not yet entered the house. No one could tolerate the situation where the concubine was allowed to enter the house before the legal wife.
No wonder Xiang Lan wants to cancel the engagement.
Yan Letang walked out from the side. She looked at Xiang Lan, bit her lip, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Xiang, my elder brother did something wrong. But our Yan family cares about you and is willing to wait for you for three years. Why can't you consider my elder brother?
My elder brother has long passed the age of marriage, and there is no one in his room. Now Jiahui is willing to serve my elder brother. Shouldn't you be relieved? Moreover, we did not let Jiahui enter the house as a co-wife first, but only said that she would be a concubine first, and then promoted to a co-wife after you enter the house.
Our Yan family has already made great concessions in your case, why are you unwilling to give in a little for my eldest brother?"
Yan Letang's meaning was very simple. If Yan Zhirong had not insisted on observing the three-year mourning period for Xiang Lan, it would have been impossible for him to be alone after he reached the age of marriage. Now that someone was willing to stay with Yu Jiahui for Xiang Lan, Xiang Lan should be magnanimous and accept it.
"Yes, the Yan family is willing to wait for Xiang Lan for three years, which is already the utmost duty. Which young master doesn't have a maidservant? If Xiang Lan can't even tolerate this, she is too jealous!"
"Xiang Lan delayed Young Master Yan. Even if Young Master Yan took a concubine first, it would be understandable. But she sent a letter of withdrawal directly. It's too heartless. She doesn't take the Yan family's friendship to heart at all. Who would dare to marry such a woman in the future?"
…
This time, everyone's malice was directed towards Xiang Lan.
Yan Letang's eyes flashed with pride. Xiang Lan was indeed strong-willed, but the Yan family tolerated Xiang Lan's three years of mourning. Now, no matter what reason Xiang Lan had, he would be criticized.
Xiang Lan didn't care about the outside world's opinions, but no matter who it was, they would be angry to hear others misunderstand them like this. However, she couldn't explain the connection and stood there in a daze.
"I heard that Miss Xiang was raised by my grandmother, so she must have a deep affection for her. When my grandmother passed away, she was willing to observe mourning for three years. How can such a sentimental and righteous thing be regarded as a delay for the Yan family in your mouth?"
Su Chenyu walked down the stairs slowly, step by step. She swept her eyes over all the people standing in the hall. "It is a blessing for the Yan family to marry a person with such a kind temperament as Miss Xiang. Besides, Miss Xiang has never asked the Yan family to wait for her. Since the Yan family is willing to wait, they should stick to their original intention and not be fickle!"
