"Mrs. Li."
After a long silence, Fang Qingyue raised her head with a desolate look and choked out a sob, "I am already a fallen woman, and naturally cannot be a match for the Marquis. I came to the Marquis' Mansion today not to ask for the fulfillment of the engagement, but to cancel it. I ask for your permission, Madam."
Li Junyi was extremely sad. She covered her chest and said, "Hey, child... why are you like this... Our Marquis Mansion is definitely not that kind of..."
"Madam, I have made up my mind. Please grant my wish."
Fang Qingyue lowered her head, clenched her teeth tightly, and held back the tears in her eyes.
Li Junyi sighed, "Well, since you have made up your mind, then let's do as you say."
Fang Qingyue turned and left without saying a word.
"Humph, my aunt pities her so much, but she doesn't even say thank you. What an ungrateful person."
"The Marquis' Mansion has done its utmost. Madam Li is truly kind-hearted."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this person who lost his virginity. Let's quickly invite the Marquis and his future wife to come out together."
"Hey, where is the First Lord?"
The night was dark. Fang Qingyue walked expressionlessly in the alley outside the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Her clear eyes were filled with deep hatred.
One day, one day she will burn down the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which is all show and no substance!
Footsteps sounded in the alley, and an inky figure walked up to her, his fists clenched and crackling.
"Do you really want to marry into the Marquis' Mansion?"
When Fang Qingyue heard Shen Yuhan's voice, her whole body trembled. When she raised her head, she looked pitiful with tears in her eyes.
"My Lord, I don't have any..."
Shen Yuhan was furious. He pinched her neck and pushed her against the wall. "You still say no? If there is no, why did you come to the Marquis' Mansion? Why are you hiding here crying?"
Fang Qingyue lowered her head in grievance and pulled out a letter from her sleeve.
"Madam Li said that the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquisate must not be tarnished. I must cancel the engagement voluntarily and cannot be driven out by the Marquisate. So she sent someone to send a letter asking me to come and cooperate with her... If I don't comply, she will never let me go..."
Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter, Shen Yuhan let go with an unnatural expression.
Seeking fame and reputation is Li's style.
"This matter..."
He hesitated slightly, "I misunderstood you in this matter. Don't be too sad. It's good enough that you survived."
This chief lord obviously didn't know how to coax a woman, and his words were very stiff.
Fang Qingyue wiped away her tears, her eyes red, and nodded obediently.
"Your Excellency is right. This little grievance is nothing. It's better than death."
"It's getting late. Go back quickly. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
After watching Fang Qingyue leave, Shen Yuhan returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Marquis Ningyuan has made great contributions and has been appointed commander of the patrol camp. Protecting order in the imperial city is a heavy responsibility. Congratulations, congratulations."
"That's too much. It's just catching some petty thieves and scoundrels. It's not a serious task."
In the brightly lit room, people clink glasses, laugh and chat, and the years are peaceful.
Shen Yuhan sat down again, and Li poured him wine with a smile.
"What did the First Master do just now? He has been missing for a long time."
"Nothing."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Li Shi didn't ask any further questions and whispered, "My Lord, Qiu Nian is now the commander-in-chief of the patrol camp. He urgently needs a great achievement to secure his position. As his uncle, is there anything you can advise him on?"
Shen Yuhan narrowed his eyes. Li was here to take credit for Shen Qiu Nian.
"The capital is a haven of song and dance, but at most he's just a thief. How can he be considered to have done anything truly remarkable?"
Li curled her lips and said, "You are joking, my Lord. There is a flower thief who is doing evil in the capital. It is said that even the three departments working together can't catch him. If you have any clues, please tell me a few. I thank you in advance on Qiu Nian's behalf."
The women in the harem are the most difficult to deal with, but you can't get angry with them.
Shen Yuhan groaned for a moment, then casually said, "It is said that this thief likes to hang out at the Yunxiao Restaurant. You can let him try his luck."
Li smiled happily and whispered a few words into Shen Qiu Nian's ear.
Halfway through the banquet, Shen Yuhan felt bored and found an excuse to leave, returning to the Censorate to deal with some old cases.
