What?
Yuan Yao looked surprised: "You mean, cancel the engagement right now?"
Huairou nodded.
Yuan Yao frowned: "Sister Huairou, is it because you listened to Cheng Biyun?"
That Miss Cheng had ulterior motives, which is why she deliberately spread the rumor that Madam Kong said drinking tea with her granddaughter-in-law was a way to bring good luck!
Sister Huairou, you mustn't let her influence you and lose your composure.
“I’m not confused.” Huairou shook her head: “Yao’er, I’m more clear-headed than ever.”
Let's leave aside the question of Miss Cheng's character for now.
The one I'm considering is Young Master Kong Baiyan.
Young Master Kong, once a gentle and refined man, now finds himself increasingly melancholic and anxious because of me…
If I had known he was interested in me, I would never have gotten engaged to him, even if it meant becoming a nun at Mount Fotai!
"While there's still time, I must break off this engagement with him!"
As he finished speaking, Huairou sighed.
Originally, she believed Kong Boyan's words and thought he really didn't want to get married.
She kept thinking that after the engagement was dissolved, she would compensate Kong Baiyan by getting him a government position or some rare treasures, so that she could drag things out for five years without any burden.
But he secretly fell in love with her...
This fondness made Huairou feel uneasy.
Looking at Huairou, Yuan Yaoqian sighed: "Sister Huairou, you've grown another year older. Has your affection for Fengxun faded?"
Huairou paused for a moment, then said gently but firmly, "My feelings for Feng Xun will not fade with time."
On the contrary, the older I get, the more determined my feelings for him become.
Therefore, no matter what, she was determined to break off the engagement!
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao said no more.
She looked at Huairou and said, "I will always stand by you and Fengxun."
Huairou felt a warmth in her heart: "Yao'er, thank you."
"No need to thank me!" Yuan Yao said with a smile, "I even want you to be my sister-in-law!"
Huairou blushed immediately: "You're making fun of me again."
"No way!" Yuan Yao said happily, "I genuinely hope you and Feng Xun will be together!"
Every time I see you and Feng Xun together, I feel that mutual love can be so sweet!
Huairou's face was redder than the cherries of Qianhua Palace.
However, after chatting and laughing with Yuan Yao for a long time, her mood improved considerably.
Yuan Yao glanced at the time and said to Po Yue, "The roast meat shop on the next street is about to close."
"If you want to eat meat, hurry up and buy some, because we should head back to the palace after we've bought it."
Buying meat?
Po Yue said coldly, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Go quickly!"
Po Yue jumped nimbly out of the window like a gust of wind.
Huairou asked worriedly, "This is the third floor. Will it be alright if he jumps down?"
“It’s nothing!” Yuan Yao said with a smile. “When we were in Xiqiu, I lived on the sixth floor of Jingyue Pavilion. Every time, they would jump from the sixth floor.”
Sometimes, he would even take me and jump from the sixth floor.
Huairou was stunned.
The secret guards are really amazing!
Huairou took a sip of tea to calm his nerves.
Just then, the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the window.
Yuan Yao peeked out the window and asked curiously, "Is today a holiday?"
Huairou's eyelids twitched: "No..."
Not a holiday?
So, why set off firecrackers?
Yuan Yao picked up her teacup, glancing out the window every now and then: "What's so interesting about setting off firecrackers? It would be better if they set off fireworks..."
"Yao'er," Huairou interrupted her.
Yuan Yao withdrew her gaze: "What's wrong?"
Huairou frowned: "Listen, the direction of the firecrackers sounds like the direction of the Confucius Mansion, doesn't it?"
Yuan Yao: "???"
You know what, it actually seems to be true!
Yuan Yao immediately stood up: "Canfeng."
Canfeng emerged from the shadows: "Your lightness skill is excellent. Go to the Kong residence and see if Old Madam Kong is gone."
Canfeng nodded: "I will go immediately."
"No need to go." A cold voice came from outside the window.
Po Yue, carrying a stack of roasted meat wrapped in oil paper, jumped down from the window: "Just now, when I went to buy meat, I saw people from the Kong family."
The man said, "Old Madam Kong is dying."
really……
Huairou felt weak all over.
The engagement can't be called off...
Yuan Yao sighed inwardly and said to Huai Rou, "Sister Huai Rou, let's put the matter of annuling the engagement on hold for now."
As for Young Master Kong, he probably won't be preoccupied with any wild thoughts for the time being.
Huairou's eyes flickered: "That's the only way..."
With the passing of Madam Kong, the entire Kong family must be immersed in grief. If she were to break off the engagement, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?
That's enough.
Huairou glanced at the sky and said, "Yao'er, let's go back to the palace."
“Okay.” Yuan Yao nodded.
On the way back to the palace, we encountered several crows.
Inside the palace, there are many tall and lush trees.
A figure flashed by, startling a chorus of crows.
It's really creepy late at night.
Yuan Yao shivered.
The person who was with her pulled her closer, asking, "Are you cold?"
Po Yue's voice came coldly: "She's afraid of ghosts."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She peeked her little head out from the guard's arms, gritting her teeth, and said, "Po Yue, if you expose my shortcomings again, your flesh will be mine!"
Yes, at this moment, she was being carried in the arms of a little bodyguard as they flew towards Fengwu Palace.
On the way back, Po Yue wanted to carry the meat, so she left Yuan Yao in the arms of the little guard...
Yuan Yao firmly believes that Po Yue did it on purpose!
It's unclear whether he's retaliating against her or against the little bodyguard...
The young bodyguard wasn't much older than her!
Fortunately, the little guard was skilled in light footwork, flew very steadily, and was also very strong.
He held her and flew for a long time, and he remained steady and calm!
Yuan Yao asked curiously, "You traitor, how old are you this year?"
Little bodyguard: "..."
He began, “You’ve never asked me if I have a name.”
There was a hint of bitterness in his tone.
Yuan Yao coughed lightly: "So, what's your name?"
Little bodyguard: "..."
That's so insincere!
His voice, though slightly immature and masked, was somewhat indifferent: "This subordinate is nameless."
nameless?
Yuan Yao blinked: "Your name is Wuming?"
The junior guard replied, "No, I was not given a name when I joined the guard camp."
Yuan Yao: "?"
All the other secret guards are famous, why isn't he?
This is being treated specially!
Gazing at the scenery rushing past below, Yuan Yao muttered to herself, "I feel that your figure and age are similar to those of people I know..."
Little bodyguard: "..."
He asked, as if possessed, "Who?"
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Yun Chan."
Little bodyguard: "..."
His figure swayed slightly.
"Croak... Croak..."
A crow flapped its wings and flew past Yuan Yao's feet.
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
Yuan Yao was so frightened that her hair stood on end.
Father!
Help!
She almost collided with a crow!
Suddenly, my collar tightened.
Po Yue muttered coldly, "Useless! Almost exposed..."
Exposure?
Yuan Yao, with her sharp ears, turned her head and stared intently: "What are you revealing?"
