Chapter 344 We Elop
"The young lady hasn't had dinner yet, I will go to the kitchen
to bring it." Two maids came out of the door and closed the door behind them, thinking they would be back soon.
Tonight, all the masters in the mansion went to the palace to attend the New Year's banquet, and most of the servants who could serve had left. Some also went back to celebrate the New Year's Eve with their families. There were not many people in the eldest lady's courtyard.
"Crunch..."
"I can't eat anymore. You don't have to work hard. Go back quickly. I don't need anyone to serve me here."
"Yunxia..."
Jiang Yunxia opened her eyes when the visitor spoke. She turned her head quickly and sat up from the bed: "Brother Changlin!"
The girl was thin and only wore a white middle-length dress. The exquisite figure under the dress made Su Changlin blush. He turned away and did not look at Jiang Yunxia: "Yunxia, you... put on your clothes first."
Jiang Yunxia also realized that something was wrong. She quickly pulled off the clothes on the screen and put them on. She was dressed quickly: "Brother Changlin, how did you get in? What are you doing here? If my parents see you, they will break your legs."
Su Changlin turned around and hugged her tightly: "Yunxia, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I couldn't stop my mother from canceling the engagement."
He had fought, opposed, and gone on a hunger strike...
His mother was determined to cancel the engagement for him. He tried everything, but still failed.
So...
Su Changlin held Jiang Yunxia's hand, his eyes full of determination, and looked at her nervously: "Let's... let's elope!"
"Elope?"
Jiang Yunxia screamed, and pulled her hand out of his palm in fear: "No! The one who is engaged is the matchmaker, and the one who elopes is the concubine. If I go with you, my reputation will be ruined from now on. I can't implicate all the unmarried girls in the Jiang family, and I can't let the Sixth Prince be criticized for his life experience."
She took two steps back: "Su Erlang, please leave, I will pretend that you have never been here tonight."
What does he think of her? He
keeps saying that he loves her and can't live without her, but in the end he only wants to come up with such a stupid move, letting her, a well-educated young lady, elope with him?
"Yunxia, listen to me, let's take a long-term view..."
Su Changlin pestered her to explain: "What I mean is, let's pretend to elope and hide in the capital for a few days. My parents and brother are worried about me. They will definitely be anxious if they don't see me for a few days. I will write a letter home. If they agree to our marriage, we will go home to prepare for the wedding, okay?"
He really likes Jiang Yunxia and doesn't want to marry another woman, but his mother is already looking for girls from the Pei family for him.
Among the girls in the Pei family, except Pei Wu, who has married the prince of Ruyang, she is still a normal person. The other girls have their eyes on the top of their heads, look down on people with their noses, and are very arrogant and domineering.
He likes women like Jiang Yunxia who are quiet, introverted, gentle and virtuous. He doesn't want to marry a tigress home.
"Have you ever considered what others will say about me? How will they talk about the Jiang family? The emperor intends to appoint the imperial concubine as empress. If the news of my elopement with you becomes known to the whole city, do you think the ministers in the court will use this to oppose you? Before you did this, have you considered my position?"
She didn't want to put her family in trouble for a man, and she didn't want to drag everyone down with her because of her emotional problems and become the eternal sinner of the Jiang family.
"I..."
Su Changlin blushed and looked at her helplessly: "I... I just want to be with you, I don't think so much. And, no matter what others say, I will stand firmly on your side, and I will never have any opinion about you because of what others say."
"That's all in the future, no one can tell."
How many foolish men and resentful women, in the end, became strangers because of the fear of gossip. She didn't believe that Su Changlin could resist all the rumors for her.
After all, just because his mother opposed it, he sneaked into her room and wanted to elope with her.
And, what do you mean by not having an opinion of her because of what others say?
What did she do wrong? She
needs to be forgiven by him.
The trembling hands calmed down in an instant, and Jiang Yunxia sighed: "I will not elope with you, give up this idea. There are only two outcomes between us, either you convince your parents to welcome me home in a sedan chair, or... from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't do what you did tonight again, otherwise I will report you to the police and arrest you.
" "But..."
"Bang!"
Su Changlin wanted to fight for something, but suddenly a guard came in from the window and knocked Jiang Yunxia unconscious with one slap.
"Ada, what are you doing?"
"Erlang, if you keep dawdling, the two maids will be back and it's getting late. If you really like Miss Jiang, take her to the farm we prepared in advance and then write back to the Su Mansion in a few days. Erlang, you did all this just to be with her in her long room, you did the right thing."
Su Changlin was holding Jiang Yunxia, struggling with his conscience.
On one side, a villain said, "You can't take her away. If she disappears, her reputation will be ruined. Even if she marries you in the future, she will be pointed at and criticized, and she will never be able to hold her head up. Do you want to ruin her?"
Another villain on the other side retorted, "But if you don't elope, you can't beat your mother at all. She will never compromise. Then you will marry a girl from the Pei family, and your life will be ruined. Besides, you really love Jiang Yunxia. Anyway, you will spend your life with her in the future. Her reputation will not affect your love for her, so what's the point? What does it matter? As long as you love her, that's all!"
Hexi Palace -
Jiang Xinyue displayed the portraits of several young talents in the capital to Sun: "These are young talents whose character and knowledge the emperor has examined. They are good in all aspects and definitely better than the Su family. They were originally candidates for the son-in-law, but the remaining concubines and the eldest princess don't want to find someone with a prominent family background. The eldest aunt can remember this and go home to talk to the eldest cousin, saying that this palace intends to be a matchmaker for her and will definitely let her marry off in a grand manner. "
The Su family broke off the engagement, Jiang Xinyue understood them, but did not accept it.
She had no reason to use this excuse to retaliate against the Su family, but didn't cousin Yuncai say that?
Su family Erlang liked the eldest cousin very much.
What is the most painful thing for an ex-boyfriend who has not forgotten her?
That is, after breaking up with him, his ex-girlfriend not only did not become depressed and unable to recover, but she also found a better husband before him and lived a happy and prosperous life.
Then the eldest cousin will become the white moonlight and cinnabar mole that Su Erlang will never forget. He will magnify the trivial matters in his marriage infinitely, and then remember the good things of the eldest cousin.
By then, it will be time for Mrs. Su to reap the fruits of her own actions.
She should digest the resentment from her most beloved youngest son alone!
