She spoke and laughed, her sarcasm almost overflowing from her face: "I knew you were blind, how could you be so picky? A mere fourth-rank official like you looks down on our Qin family."
"Having high standards is good, but acting pretentious, putting on airs, trying to manipulate people, huh? Good, hahaha..."
"Young Master Zhou is not playing with you anymore!"
"He's changed his mind and doesn't want you anymore. The Cheng family has already come to propose marriage to Young Master Zhou! And you're still delusional, dreaming of marrying into the General's mansion, still putting on airs and waiting for them to beg for your forgiveness and fawn over you?"
"That's hilarious! You think you're some kind of princess just because I gave you a little flak?"
"You looked down on this and that, and look what happened, you messed things up! I really feel sorry for you! Lord Lin, Miss Lin, what have you done to deserve this opportunity to be with that young master of the Zhou family who holds military power? Hahahaha!!"
Madam Qin clapped her hands and laughed heartily.
The more she looked at Lin Jiaoyun's pale, terrified face—oh, her ever-changing complexion like a palette of colors—the more she felt a sense of satisfaction!
I feel so good!
Her beloved son was completely manipulated by Lin Jiaoyun, and she had long wanted to curse him. Today, she finally let out all her words, leaving Lin Jiaoyun utterly distraught. How could she not be happy?
"What, what did you say...?" Lin Jiaoyun's pretty face was frighteningly pale.
In an instant.
The nightmare I had last night kept replaying in my mind.
Zhou Cheng, who had pursued her for three whole years and always doted on her, finally got married to Cheng Xianyi by holding her hand!
As Lin Jiaoyun recalled the events, she felt her hands and feet grow cold, and a great sense of panic swept over her.
She finally began to feel uneasy and afraid: "No, it's impossible. How could Zhou Cheng be engaged to Cheng Xianyi? You must be lying to me, right!"
"You think you're worthy of my lying?"
“Early this morning, Grand Tutor Cheng and Miss Cheng came to our door. The two offered incense to our ancestors and registered their names on the register.”
"Now? Heh, now the marriage is already settled, and the engagement tokens have probably already been exchanged!"
"Oh my, what kind of expression is that? Why is your face as white as a corpse that's been dead for seven days? Can't take it anymore? Do you think that young master Zhou is the best now? Regretting it?" Madam Qin pouted and spoke sarcastically.
Lin Jiaoyun was overwhelmed by these passages of text, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
She stared wide-eyed, her fingers clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.
stunned;
I don't believe it;
disturbed;
shock;
Stunned, a torrent of emotions surged within me.
Before her father could react and question her in shock, Lin Jiaoyun snapped back to reality. She shook her head frantically, pushing Madam Qin away, and ran frantically towards the General's Mansion in a panic, crying, "No, no, no..."
"This must be the excuse Zhou Cheng used to lure you here, just to scare me."
"How could he possibly be engaged to Cheng Xianyi! He said he would cherish me for the rest of his life!"
"He would always appear before me in time when I was in danger, he would teach those who bullied me a lesson when I was wronged, and he would do everything he could to help me obtain poems and verses when I wanted to win the title of 'talented woman'..."
"He, he, he's actually really good to me. Yes, he's so good to me, there's no way he could marry someone else!"
"I'm going to ask him. I'm going to the General's Mansion right now to ask Zhou Cheng..."
Lin Jiaoyun rushed out without regard for anything else.
This time.
She stopped acting arrogantly; she was scared and dared not act recklessly again.
She even thought about it in her mind.
