Wen Luoxin's eyes were red, and she asked with a sorrowful voice, "How come I never knew there was such a thing? Since General Qi and I were already engaged, why didn't you tell me when I came back?"
She raised her head slightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Now that we know General Qi is disabled, you suddenly say you have arranged a marriage for me."
As if she was recalling some unbearable past, her voice trembled and tears began to fall.
"Father, Mother, do you know how much hardship I've endured since I was a child, living away from home? I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to make my family worry and sad. But what do you think of me? Do you truly love and care for me as if I were your own daughter?"
Seeing her like this, Madam Wen wiped her tears with heartache and tried to persuade her earnestly, "Mother knows you feel wronged, but this is also a helpless move. The whole capital knows that our family is engaged to General Qi."
She walked down from the high chair at the top, came to Wen Luoxin, raised her hand and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her tone full of helplessness.
"Qi He has suffered an accident and has lost his leg, but he was a great warrior. If we, the Wen family, were to cancel the engagement hastily at this moment, how would we be able to hold our heads high in the capital? Mother is also very reluctant to let you marry General Qi!"
Master Wen's stern eyes softened, and he continued to advise: "Grandpa has always praised you for being the most well-behaved and sensible, much better than your spoiled sister."
He sighed helplessly, "Now the family's honor and disgrace all depends on your decision. If you don't marry, you will be disregarding the family's reputation. Can you bear to see the family brought shame because of you?"
Tears rolled down Wen Luoxin's face like beads from a broken string. She choked and said, "My daughter has only been back for less than a month. I haven't even felt the taste of family love, and my parents want me to sacrifice myself for the family."
Having said this, she closed her eyes and said in despair: "Father, Mother, how could you be so cruel to me!"
After saying that, she turned and ran out.
She ran all the way back to her room and closed the door. Wen Luoxin's sad expression disappeared in an instant. Her face, which had just been crying and looked pitiful, was now only filled with cold indifference.
She sat down at the dressing table, looked at her young and beautiful self in the bronze mirror, and suddenly smiled.
She picked up the handkerchief at hand and slowly wiped away the lingering tears on her face, then put on powder and makeup again.
But in his heart, he was thinking, should he go to Xiao Yunchen first? Or should he go to Qi He first?

In the study of Jinxiu Residence in the Xiao Mansion.
A huge desk occupied the main position. The four Wenfang treasures originally placed on it were now pushed aside. The scorching afternoon sun shone on the closed windows and doors, rushing into the gaps to illuminate the dim study.
Li Sisi held the brush in her fingers, and the white paper spread out on the desk had been dripped with a lot of ink (real ink!), which spread out and ruined the words written by Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen approached from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He reached out and held her hand holding the brush, his cool breath hitting her blushing ear and neck: "Wife, can you write well today?" (My husband taught her to write, I'm really impressed. It's just a little sweet. Do you have to teach her seriously like a teacher? Ahhh!! If you can't do it again, I will change to teaching her to write in a formal and serious manner, okay! I really cried...)
Li Sisi looked at the messy words and smudged ink on the white paper on the table, her face flushed red. "Yes, I can write well."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yunchen suddenly exerted force on his hand, holding her hand and writing a word in two or three strokes. His low and hoarse voice invaded her eardrums: "Madam, what do you think of the strength of this word?" (The male protagonist is teaching the female protagonist how to write! Teaching the female protagonist how to write! Teaching the female protagonist how to write! Important things must be said three times!!!)
"This word is okay." Li Sisi's mind was a little confused. She didn't pay attention to what he wrote at all and replied randomly.
A low, hoarse chuckle came from my ear, "Is that all?"
The lips that were originally just beside her ear would occasionally rub against her delicate neck. Her voice was deep and rich: "My lady, you are too hard to learn. You must practice more in the future."
"Chenchen..."
Li Sisi felt a little regretful for provoking Xiao Yunchen. She thought he was a docile and obedient puppy who would just meow and act cute at her if she teased him.
Who knew this kid could actually turn the tables!
People teach their apprentices to starve themselves to death.
Just go to her.
Teach the apprentice to kill the master!
"Huh? Why are you calling me husband?" Xiao Yunchen was very patient, and his cold fingertips seemed to help regulate body temperature.
On the contrary, the person who is usually full of energy now feels weak and powerless, with sweat soaking the few strands of hair that have fallen from his forehead, sticking randomly to his blushing face.
"Second Master, Miss Wen said she wants to see you for something important." Outside the study door, the voice of the servant in the mansion suddenly sounded, interrupting the sweet and lingering atmosphere in the room.
When Li Sisi heard the three words "Miss Wen", her confused mind instantly became clear.
However, because of the excessive ambiguity just now, he still panted a little hurriedly while speaking: "Chenchen, I, I'm going back to the room first."
"Go and invite the person in," Xiao Yunchen instructed the servant outside.
He tilted his head and kissed Li Sisi's still rosy lips, and said softly, "No need, I will go back to the room with my wife later."
"Okay." Li Sisi stepped down from his legs, tidied up her messy clothes, and walked to the wooden couch on the other side of the study.
Just as I sat down, Wen Luoxin in a white dress walked in, bringing with her a faint fragrance.
