Chapter 720 Zhou Yuchang's Choice
Zhou Yuchang had been avoiding the He family because she didn't know how to face them. She found it hard to accept what had happened to her, and was even more afraid of being despised and spurned by others after they knew about it, and she was afraid of being looked down upon by the He family.
But after going through this journey today and untying the knot in her heart, she realized that her hiding during this period was completely useless, and not seeing anyone from the He family was not a solution either.
Her father and brother were highly valued by the new emperor and were fighting outside. The Wenxin Marquisate was seeing its prosperity rise, and she couldn't let her father and the Wenxin Marquisate be branded as being in a powerful position and bullying the weak.
Moreover, their family has always had a good relationship with the He family. Uncle He has helped her father a lot in the court, and the elders of the He family have always loved her very much, and they want to give her, the future daughter-in-law, all the best. She can't let the two families become enemies because of her.
Tang Ning frowned upon hearing this: "Don't worry about these things. The He family also has many ways to solve them. If you don't want to see him, don't force yourself. Come back to Jiyun Lane with me first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Zhou Yuchang shook her head firmly: "I won't force it. I really want to have a good talk with him. I don't want the relationship between the He family and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion to become strained, and Jin..."
She wanted to call him Brother Jin, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her name:
"He Sanlangjun is a very good person."
He deserves to know the reason.
Tang Ning saw that she was serious, hesitated for a moment, and then said outside: "Okay, I'll go with you."
…
He Jin was arguing with Gu Helian. He stood outside the door and did not force his way in. He just wanted to persuade Gu Helian to let him go in to see Zhou Yuchang. Even though Gu Helian's words were not very pleasant, and his uneasiness in the past few days made him feel depressed, he still tried his best to calm himself.
He didn't want to embarrass Zhou Yuchang, didn't want to make a big fuss and make it difficult for her to face Lady Rongguo and the others, and he didn't want their private affairs to be known to everyone.
Although Gu Helian has a sharp tongue, she actually admires the upright He Jia Sanlang in her heart.
He had seen too many people of He Jin's age who had a comfortable life since childhood due to their family background and were very proud. If someone else were to be rejected repeatedly like He Jin, have their engagement broken off inexplicably, or even be verbally offended, he would probably have been furious and started a fight.
But although He Sanlang was angry, he was able to keep himself calm and just tried his best to make things clear instead of going crazy.
Young people with this kind of mentality will definitely achieve great things in the future.
Although Gu Helian had a sharp tongue, she couldn't bear to face He Jinshi: "He Sanlangjun, your marriage with Miss Zhou was originally arranged by our elders. It's useless for you to meet her. Why don't you go back first and wait until Marquis Wenxin returns to the capital..."
"uncle."
Tang Ning's voice interrupted Gu Helian.
Gu Helian looked over and was immediately surprised: "Why are you back?"
He subconsciously wanted to block He Jin, but he heard another voice coming from the carriage: "Uncle Gu, I'll talk to him."
"Yu Chang?"
He Jin recognized the person in the carriage just by the voice, and his face immediately showed joy.
Zhou Yuchang and Tang Ning got out of the carriage. Their eyes welled up as they watched He Jin approach with surprise. They turned their heads away and whispered, "Third Brother He, it was my fault for rashly mentioning breaking off the engagement yesterday. There are some things I should clarify with you. Since you're here, why don't we go in and talk?"
The joy on He Jin's face froze instantly. He was a little bit incredulous: "Yu Chang..."
Zhou Yuchang avoided his gaze: "Uncle Gu, thank you for your help."
Gu Helian frowned and subconsciously looked at Tang Ning. After seeing Tang Ning nod to indicate that she would listen to Zhou Yuchang, he stopped playing the villain and stepped aside and said, "Then go in first."
He Jin stood motionless in front of the door, just staring at Zhou Yuchang.
Tang Ning stepped forward and walked between the two of them to block his view, and said to He Jin, "Mr. He Sanlang, it's cold outside. If you have anything to say, let's go inside first."
He Jin didn't move.
Tang Ning: "Yu Chang was injured before and can't stand the cold."
He Jin's expression finally relaxed a little. He pursed his lips tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, let's go in and talk."
…
Ever since Tang Ning forcibly dragged Zhou Yuchang out of the house, Qian Qiyue has been feeling a little uneasy.
Although Rong Yue knew that Tang Ning wanted to comfort Zhou Yuchang, she was still frightened by the "tragic scene" when Zhou Yuchang committed suicide in the morning. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still worried in her heart.
Seeing that the sun was setting and Tang Ning and the others had not returned yet, Qian Qiyue was getting impatient and was about to go out to look for them, but at this moment someone came in and said that Tang Ning and the others had returned.
"You're back. Where are you?" Qian Qiyue stood up suddenly.
"He's just outside, but Mr. He Sanlang is here too."
This time, not to mention Qian Qiyue, even Rong Yue couldn't sit still.
Then why is He Jia Sanlang here again? !
Qian Qiyue and the other person hurried to the front yard and saw Gu Helian and Tang Ning standing in the yard talking. On the other side, Zhou Yuchang and He Jin were standing alone in the corridor in the distance. All the servants in front, behind, and around them had been sent away by Tang Ning.
Seeing Zhou Yuchang alone with He Jin, Qian Qiyue was so anxious that she almost jumped up and wanted to rush over there, holding up her skirt.
Tang Ning quickly stopped her: "Sister Yue, don't go over there."
"But Yuchang..."
Qian Qiyue's eyes were bloodshot, and she lowered her voice but couldn't hide her anxiety. "Yuchang treats He Sanlang differently. Their engagement hasn't been clarified yet. It was because the He family came over that she got upset and couldn't get over it. Now let her be alone with He Sanlang, what if she..."
Whenever she thought of seeing Zhou Yuchang lying on the bed with blood all over her neck this morning, she couldn't help but feel her heart palpitating.
Tang Ning knew that Qian Qiyue was frightened. She took Qian Qiyue's hand and comforted her softly: "No, she won't commit suicide again."
Qian Qiyue turned her head to look at Tang Ning, and even Gu Helian and Rong Yue looked over.
Tang Ning didn't explain where they went, nor did she say how she comforted Zhou Yuchang. She just said, "Yuchang was just blinded by grief and anger before, but after my advice today, she has come to her senses and will not easily commit suicide again."
"But……"
"Don't say but." Tang Ning said softly, "Her marriage with the He family must be resolved. Whether it is to maintain the status quo or to cancel the engagement, she must explain it clearly to He's Sanlang."
"The He family is not just any ordinary family. Marquis Wenxin is currently on a campaign and cannot afford to suffer any setbacks. If the two families really fall out over the marriage, it will not be good for Yuchang, the He family, or even Marquis Wenxin."
