Chapter 856 The Child She Gave
"Yuanjun, I watched you grow up. Over the years, your aunt has loved you. This can't be false, right?"
"When your mother passed away, you refused to eat or drink, and I stayed at the Liu family all day and night holding you. This can't be fake, right?"
"If there is any good thing in the house, you have never lost it. Don't you think so?"
"The love I've shown you over the years has never been fake, right? Would your aunt ever harm you? I just don't want you to become a couple of enemies."
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but lower her head and wipe her tears. Liu Yuanjun's eyes were red, but her tears stubbornly refused to fall.
"Yuanjun understands how good you are to him. Yuanjun is grateful..." Liu Yuanjun pursed his lips tightly, his expression slightly pale.
"Brother Cen has entered the gate of immortal cultivation, and in the future he will be different from an immortal and a mortal. He is a cultivator who can call the wind and rain, and his life span is hundreds of years. We can only stay with him for a few decades at most, and then we will no longer be able to accompany him. Instead, we will be a burden to him..."
"Besides, the people and things he has seen now are no longer something you can get in touch with, Yuanjun, Brother Cen is not suitable for you." Mrs. Zhou cried sadly.
"Why do you have to ask him to withdraw in person and hurt his moral integrity?"
Mrs. Zhou's words were sincere and heartfelt, as if she was speaking from her heart and truly doing it for her own good.
Liu Yuanjun lowered her head and clutched the edge of her skirt tightly: "Madam Zhou, I am willing to cancel the engagement. But I want to hear what he says in person and will never pester him."
Liu Yuanjun's voice trembled and he looked at her closely.
Madam Zhou's face darkened, she stood up and said, "Let's meet at Linjiang Pavilion in three days."
"Mrs. Zhou, please take your things back." There were some boxes and cages outside the courtyard gate.
Madam Zhou walked out without looking back: "You can keep them, they are just little things. It will be inconvenient to keep them in the house, you can figure out how to put them away."
After Madam Zhou left, the maid behind Liu Yuanjun could no longer hold back her anger: "Miss, she is too much!!"
"This is not the difference between immortals and mortals. It's just that he thinks the girl is a mortal now and can't marry into his family."
"How could this person change so much? She was not like this back then..." The maid felt unfair for her.
Liu Yuanjun sat on the chair, feeling cold both physically and mentally.
"Miss, you can't really agree to cancel the engagement. I guess that the Zhou family might have hooked up with some important person." Otherwise, why would they be so eager to come and cancel the engagement?
I got home last night and came to cancel the engagement today. I can't wait even a moment longer.
"She treated me well before. It was because I was the daughter of her friend."
"Now... because I have grown up, Brother Cen has become a disciple of the Chaoyang Sect, and I am about to marry into the Zhou family. She is the mother-in-law and I am the daughter-in-law. How could she look down on me?" Liu Yuanjun understood it very well. Mrs. Zhou probably didn't sleep last night, and was waiting to come today.
Even though she left Beijing a few years ago, Mrs. Zhou still held her beloved child in her arms and was reluctant to let her go.
"Miss, come and take a look..." the maid outside the door exclaimed in a low voice.
When Liu Yuanjun walked out of the door, she saw several large boxes opened, which were filled with objects she was familiar with.
Liu Yuanjun had been trying hard to hold back her tears, but at this moment, the tears suddenly fell.
She had known for a long time that she and Zhou Cen were engaged, and they could be considered childhood sweethearts. Even when her father was later sent away to work, she would always have someone send any interesting things she had to the capital.
After being engaged for many years, she already had complicated feelings towards Zhou Cen.
When my mother passed away that year, my father was devastated and never recovered. She couldn't bear to leave her mother, so she secretly hid in the mourning hall, cried and fell asleep beside the coffin. It was Zhou Cen who carried her out and comforted her.
Later, after her father was sent away, she and Zhou Cen continued to correspond for many years.
The younger daughter did not hide her feelings in front of Zhou Cen.
In fact, she had a premonition before returning to Beijing.
In recent years, Zhou Cen's letters have gradually changed from three or four letters a month to three months, and once every six months. It has been a year since I last replied to a letter.
"These...are all sent by the girl from thousands of miles away over the years..."
There was a box of yellowed letters and several large boxes of things that Liu Yuanjun had collected from all over the place.
At first, they were sent to Beijing with great anticipation, but now, they have been carried all back.
Liu Yuanjun opened the letter and couldn't help sobbing after reading only two pages.
"It's impossible to clean up all these tiny things in one night." Yes, it's impossible to clean them up in one night. I'm afraid that the Zhou family has long been thinking about canceling the engagement. I endured it until she returned to Beijing.
At that time, my mother was still alive and often stayed at Zhou's house.
At that time, all the clothes left in Zhou's house were sent back, not a single piece was kept.
The relationship was completely severed.
"Girl, stop crying and take care of yourself. For such an important matter, I'm afraid we need to ask the master to come back and make the decision."
"You have broken off the engagement with the Zhou family, and you already know everything you need to know. How can you live your life if you suddenly break off the engagement..." Seeing that she looked pale, the maid couldn't help but comfort her.
"Don't tell daddy, don't tell him!" Liu Yuanjun took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.
The maid pursed her lips and said nothing.
She was Liu Yuanjun's personal maid, with a pretty appearance, and was originally destined to be sent along as a dowry maid.
The woman's maid who came with her as a dowry said that her head was very big.
When a lady becomes pregnant or falls out of favor, the maidservant who comes with the dowry will usually be promoted to concubine to secure favor.
When Lu Chaochao entered the courtyard, Liu Yuanjun wiped her tears in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of Sister Zhaoyang."
"Fuling, carry these boxes down...don't let father see them."
Fuling responded in a low voice. She was Liu Yuanjun's personal maid.
After the maids and servants left, Liu Yuanjun looked at Ci Mu quietly. Ci Mu met her gaze, then silently walked to the gate of the courtyard and waited.
Perhaps because she had saved her, Liu Yuanjun didn't have many female elders to be close to, and now when she saw Lu Chaochao crying, her eyes were filled with tears.
My father is a macho man and he can never cry to me like he does to my mother.
"Sister, mother abandoned me, my wet nurse plotted against me, and now even Brother Cen doesn't want me anymore." She hugged Lu Chaochao and cried loudly. The young girl who was just beginning to fall in love had also admired her fiancé in her heart.
But what really made her sad was being abandoned again.
"Isn't it just that I have gained some skills? Wuwuwuwu..."
Lu Chaochao patted her back with amusement: "When you have time, go and get a test." It doesn't make sense that the child she personally gave birth to would not have spiritual roots.
The clay figurines she personally made are all extraordinary in the world.
The children she personally gave birth to must have been blessed by her and were born extraordinary.
Lu Chaochao is very confident in herself.
After Liu Yuanjun cried her heart out, she looked at Lu Chaochao's wet clothes embarrassedly.
"After I meet him, I will go for a test. Sister Zhaoyang, would you please go with me? Yuanjun is a little scared to go alone..." She didn't have many acquaintances in the capital, so she was naturally timid.
Lu Chaozhao nodded in agreement.
Three days later, Lu Chaochao accompanied her to Linjiang Pavilion.
