Liang Yi's eyes lit up; the girl was fresh and beautiful, and he couldn't take his eyes off her. "May I ask who this is...?"
Yun Tianzhi quickly stepped forward to block You Ran's path, "This is my sixth younger sister!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yi realized it was the renowned darling of the Yun family, the supposedly blessed Sixth Miss Yun. Her eyes were glued to her, and she couldn't take her eyes off her. "Hello, Sixth Sister, hello, Sixth Sister."
Just by looking into that eye, You Ran knew that she couldn't marry into her third sister's family today!
Moreover, his words just now were disrespectful to the Yun family, so Third Sister's days in the Liang family will definitely not be easy!
She sneered, gently pushed Yun Tianzhi aside, and stepped out. "Young Master Liang is so promising at such a young age; he must be very learned, right?"
Liang Yi stared intently at her stunningly beautiful face. "Hehe, no problem, no problem."
You Ran pulled a piece of red paper from her sleeve. "This humble woman is rather dull and doesn't recognize many characters. I would appreciate it if Prince Liang could enlighten me."
Liang Yi was overjoyed when she heard this. There was no need to write a poem or answer questions; it was just a matter of recognizing a few characters. What was so difficult about that?
He immediately took the red paper, and upon reading it, his eyes widened in surprise.
I don't recognize the first character.
I don't recognize the second character.
Up to the seventh character, thankfully, I recognized it?
Yun Tianzhi and the others looked at You Ran, completely bewildered.
With a gentle smile, she said softly, "Young Master Liang, there's no need to worry. It's normal to not recognize a few. Just read out the ones you do know."
Upon hearing this, the bead of sweat that was about to break out on Liang Shizi's forehead immediately subsided, and he read smugly, "Me."
"yes."
"stupid."
"son."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Liang Yi immediately realized what was happening, and, enraged, threw the paper at You Ran, shouting, "How dare you play tricks on this young master?!"
Yun Tianzhi curiously reached out and took the red paper. He saw four lines of text written on it: “靐龗灪龖齉龘我，齉齾爩粗龗是灪，龖厵爨癵傻骉麣，纞虋粗子灥雥骉。
He immediately burst into laughter, "Sixth Sister, amazing!"
He smiled leisurely, "Young Master Liang, you are truly a man of great learning!"
"Hahaha—" Yun Tianjiao also came over to take a look and laughed so hard he bent over.
Liang Yi flew into a rage and threw the red flower in his hand to the ground. "Fine! Very well! You dare to humiliate this young master today! This marriage is off!"
Yun Manwan panicked and grabbed him, "No, no, no, how can you just let it go? It was just a joke between sisters... Your Highness, please don't take it seriously."
Liang Yi's best man also said angrily, "I told you long ago that the third daughter of the Yun family is an old maid and a jinx. Marrying her would definitely bring bad luck for eight generations. But you insisted on fulfilling the marriage contract. Now look what happened!"
Yun Tianzhi flew into a rage, grabbing his collar and demanding, "Who are you calling an old hag? Who did my sister wait until now to get married for?"
Yun Tianjiao, mimicking his brother, rushed up to Liang Yi and grabbed his collar, shouting, "Who are you calling a jinx? Who did my sister do this for... becoming an old maid?!"
Although he is only thirteen years old this year, he has already grown tall, and it was easy to grab his collar.
The Liang family was also furious. "You...you! Fine! Let's get this straight today! After the engagement with your family, my mother and grandfather passed away one after another. Isn't your third daughter a jinx who brings bad luck to her husbands?!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Manwan, who was inside the door, felt utterly despondent.
I knew that this marriage proposal wouldn't go through.
The best man snorted and continued, "The third young lady of the Yun family is already twenty, isn't she? What else could she be but an old maid? The heir of a noble family, actually wants to marry a twenty-year-old old maid, tsk tsk..."
Yun Tianzhi could no longer hold back and threw another punch directly at the groomsman's face.
"My sister is not an old hag!" Yun Tianjiao retorted angrily and started hitting her.
The groom's party, who had come to fetch the bride, immediately rushed forward and started fighting.
Yu waited and waited, but the newlyweds didn't arrive. She went to the backyard to check on them, and upon seeing the chaotic scene, she turned pale with fright. "Stop! Stop! What's going on?!"
Yun Manyan looked utterly dejected.
My third sister's marriage was hard-won, but unexpectedly it fell through at the last minute?
Su Youran jumped in front of her fourth aunt and began to complain, "That Young Master Liang thinks our Yun family are all boorish men, merchants, and ignorant women and children, and he also called Third Sister an old hag and a jinx! That's why we started fighting!"
Upon hearing this, Yu felt a wave of dizziness.
An hour later, the whole family sat together in the flower hall.
After seeing off all the guests, Yun Manying removed her bridal makeup, leaving her eyes swollen like walnuts.
Madam Yun spoke first, "Although this marriage was arranged by your maternal grandfather and the Marquis of Jing'an, now that things have turned out this way, your grandmother will play the villain tomorrow and cancel the marriage."
Madam Su quickly stopped her, "How can we trouble Mother with this matter? I'll handle it myself. In the end, it was You Ran who started this whole thing. You Ran, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?!"
She said the last sentence sternly to You Ran.
You Ran knelt in the middle of the hall, indignantly saying, "How can it be me? It was clearly that Prince Liang who had such an arrogant attitude, and he wouldn't even write another poem to urge her to get married."
Yun Tianzhi immediately stood up and knelt beside You Ran, "If you want to blame someone, it's all my fault. I was too reluctant to part with my sister and wanted to make things difficult for her, which is why I made her write two more poems to urge her to get married!"
Yun Tianjiao also knelt down on the other side of You Ran, "Grandmother, I was wrong too."
Yun Manying also knelt down, "It's not my younger siblings' fault, it's all my fault. I was unlucky in love..."
You Ran immediately said, "Sister, how can you blame yourself? That young master Liang's face was pale, clearly showing signs of excessive indulgence. He's been observing mourning for the past few years, but I bet his household is in turmoil! Right now, only his grandmother is in charge of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, and she spoils him rotten. She'll definitely indulge him, and who knows what kind of chaos the whole mansion is in. You're lucky you didn't marry into that family; if you had, who knows what kind of sordid things you'd have to face!"
Su scolded her, "Shut up! You dare to say anything!"
You Ran obediently remained silent.
Yun Zheng spoke up, "Just now, I observed this person; his behavior was frivolous, and his eyes were unfocused. I think what You Ran said is mostly true. This marriage is better off not happening. It's just that..."
Overwhelmed with grief, Madam Yu said, "I never imagined that my Ying'er, who waited for six whole years to fulfill his reputation for filial piety, would end up like this."
Upon hearing this, Yun Manying's eyes reddened again.
She waved her hand leisurely, "Third Sister is only twenty years old, she has a long and beautiful life ahead of her, what's there to be afraid of! I'm going to wait until I'm thirty to get married!"
She saw so many independent and strong women in her later years who married in their thirties or forties, and some even remained unmarried their entire lives, yet they still lived freely and happily.
But everyone in the hall was clearly taken aback by her bold remarks. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't listen to Sixth Sister. Your Second Aunt will find you someone else. The Liang family doesn't respect our Duke's Mansion at all. Even if you marry into their family, you might not get any respect. It's better not to marry into them!"
