Yun Zhi was still a little flustered and explained for Qian Xi, "My little sister has always been outspoken. I hope Your Highness won't laugh at her."
Jiang Rui smiled with an ambiguous tone, "Exaggeration is called speaking without restraint, and telling the truth is called arguing with reason."
Yun Zhi felt that Jiang Rui had something else in mind, so he asked cautiously, "Why is Your Highness so concerned about my little sister all of a sudden?"
Jiang Rui didn't reply, but looked at Song Yi, "Song Yi, what else did Miss Yun say?"
It seemed difficult to speak, and Song Yi took a long time to finally say the words that were spinning in his mouth, "Who says women are inferior to men?"
Jiang Rui pretended not to hear and asked again: "What?"
"Who says women are inferior to men?"
Song Yi repeated loudly.
Yun Zhi immediately knelt down and said, "I'm ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. I hope Your Majesty will not take it seriously!"
Jiang Rui just laughed without any other expression.
Ignoring Yun Zhihuan who was kneeling on the ground, Jiang Rui continued to ask Song Yi, "Besides this, does Miss Yun have anything else to say?"
Song Yi said stubbornly, "That day, Miss Yun handed me a bow and arrow, and placed a fruit on her head. She said that if I could shoot the fruit, she would agree to cancel the marriage."
"And then?"
"I am a scholar, how could I wield a sword or a gun? I am afraid of hurting Miss Yun, so I dare not take action."
"Go on."
"Miss Yun called me a 'coward' and then snatched the bow and arrow from my hand. She then stuffed a fruit into my hand and told me to hold it above my head. She said if she shot the fruit, the marriage would be cancelled."
Thinking back to what happened that day, Song Yi still couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Seeing Song Yi like this, Jiang Rui understood very well why Miss Yun looked down on him and was crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to cancel the engagement.
After a pause, Song Yi continued, "I was a little scared that day and didn't want to play this boring game with Miss Yun. But Miss Yun had already drawn her bow and said..."
"say what?"
"As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. If I hadn't held the fruit above my head, and she had accidentally shot me, I could only blame my bad luck."
The more Song Yi spoke, the angrier he became.
If he hit the fruit, the engagement would be cancelled; if he missed the fruit, he would die on the spot.
Miss Yun's meaning clearly meant that she looked down on him and would never marry him!
The more Jiang Rui listened, the more interesting it became. "So what did you do after that?"
Song Yi felt ashamed and lowered his head, whispering, "For the sake of my own life, I had no choice but to do as Miss Yun said."
Jiang Rui looked Song Yi up and down and said, "Seeing you're alive and well, I guess Miss Yun's archery skills are amazing."
Despite his many complaints about Qianxi, Song Yi still had to admit that Qianxi's archery skills were extraordinary. "The Yun family's young lady was raised in seclusion, but her archery skills are indeed very good. I was shocked at the time."
Or perhaps Song Yi had never thought that a weak woman could really pick up a bow and shoot an arrow.
Jiang Rui smiled and said, "Do you regret breaking off the marriage?"
“No.”
"Why?"
"With a virtuous wife, everything is peaceful at home. With..." Song Yi suddenly realized that Yun Zhi was still there, and immediately stopped talking.
If you have a bad wife at home, everything will go wrong.
Jiang Rui seemed to have just remembered Yun Zhihuan. He lowered his head to look at Yun Zhihuan, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time. "Minister Yun, your sister is truly a heroine."
Yun Zhi also kowtowed and apologized, "Your sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Jiang Rui smiled leisurely, "Editor Song is fine, what crime has your sister committed?"
