Breaking Off the Marriage Halfway

Great Zhou, Pingshun fourteen years, Dragon Boat Festival.

Hua Hua County was near the sea, and the weather changed in an instant. A sudden rainstorm forced many people to take shelter in the tea houses by the roadside.

There was only one table in the dilapidated tea shed, but it was already occupied. The others could only stand under the eaves and wait for the rain to fall.

"You want to break off the engagement?" Suddenly, a woman's voice broke the silence." Guo Yun, your father knelt down to propose to my family's young miss!"

The tall and plump little girl slammed the table and roared angrily,"Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you're here to break off the engagement." 

"Ungrateful, pui!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at the man who was being scolded.

The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Everyone began to wonder what the woman he broke off the engagement with looked like.

"Back then, my father was bewitched by someone and went to propose marriage." Guo Qing pretended to be his brother today and stopped him from breaking off the engagement.

"Your young miss has lived in the mountains for ten years. She's just an ugly and vulgar village woman!"

"My brother…why should I marry a village woman?!"

After Guo Qing finished speaking, everyone began to sympathize with him. It was indeed a pity that he had to marry a village girl with such a good appearance and temperament.

No wonder he wanted to break off the engagement.

"Shut up!" " Bajiao!" The servant girl shouted. At this moment, a woman wearing a black curtained hat walked out from behind the house. She said indifferently," Bajiao, forget it!"

"Miss!" Ba Jiao shouted.

Miss? Everyone looked at the woman who was walking over. She was wearing an azure silk dress. She was tall and thin, and she walked slowly with an otherworldly aura.

Although she couldn't see her face, she couldn't be a village girl with her appearance and temperament!

Fairy was more like it.

Even Guo Qing was stunned. He had never seen Ye Wenchu before, but everyone said that she looked like a yaksha. He didn't expect her figure to be so good.

Ba Jiao stomped his feet and went up to support Ye Wenchu." Miss, Guo Yun is rude!"

"Don't scold people," Ye Wenchu laughed lightly, his voice clear and melodious like a spring breeze." It's hard."

Ba Jiao obediently agreed.

Everyone clicked their tongues and sighed. This young lady was not only beautiful, but she was also very kind. They had already shed all pretense of cordiality, but she still could not bear to let her servant girl scold her fiancé.

In this world, there were not many virtuous girls like her.

Guo Qing's face was full of disdain. Ye Wenchu would definitely act pitiful and beg him now.

He would not be soft-hearted. A woman like her was not worthy of his brother.

Ye Wenchu stopped in front of him and sized him up.

"You are Guo Yun?" Ten years ago, when Ye Wenchu transmigrated, she knew that she had a fiancé. However, she didn't have time to care about him when she went to Yunding Mountain to seek medical treatment. After she recovered, she stayed in the mountains to study medicine. She only left the mountain yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yun was waiting for her on the way to the city. When he saw her, he cursed and called off the engagement.

It was rumored that the beautiful jade young master Guo Yun was only so-so.

"Of course!" Guo Qing proudly raised his chin and looked at Ye Wenchu who was close at hand. A thought flashed through his mind, but it didn't come true...

Bang!

He had already flown out like a kite with a broken string, falling into the mud pit with a thud, and dirty water splashed everywhere.

Only the sound of wind and rain could be heard.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Don't waste your breath on this kind of person," Ye Wenchu said to Ba Jiao as he stroked his long skirt.

Ba Jiao was happy. Their Miss was still the quick-witted one. If she could do it, she would definitely not be long-winded. She wiped the bench with a handkerchief." Got it. Miss, please take a seat!"

Ye Wenchu sat down and sipped his tea.

" So she didn't allow the servant girls to scold her, not because she felt sorry for her, but because she hit her!"

Everyone was so surprised that their eyes rolled.

If you can fight, don't make a fuss. This girl is amazing.

Guo Qing stumbled to his feet and sat in the rain, clutching his chest. He couldn't believe that Ye Wenchu not only didn't beg him, but actually hit him!

"You're indeed a country bumpkin!" Guo Qing got up and fell on the ground again, causing the people around him to laugh.

"This engagement is definitely canceled!"

Ye Wenchu's hand was filled with the fragrance of the tea. She sipped lightly and closed the lid with a click.

Guo Qing trembled in fear.

Ye Wenchu handed the teacup to Ba Jiao. She looked down at Guo Qing." Mister Guo, if you want to break off the engagement, go to my grandfather. My grandfather is useless, so go to my father." There will always be someone to help you."

Her voice was like spring water hitting a bluestone. It was clearly soothing, but it inexplicably made people nervous.

She continued," And you blocked my way back to the city. You wanted to break off the engagement with a young lady like me. You had bad intentions first, so I don't have to be polite with you."

When she came from the mountains and did not understand the ways of the world, she took the initiative to break off the engagement and ruin her reputation, but he kept his reputation and benefits.

Impossible!

Guo Qing was helped into the room. He was in a sorry state. He shouted," I, I was thinking about you. You can still save some face if you take the initiative to break off the engagement. If I do, you will never be able to get married again."

"I won't trouble you to worry about my future." Ye Wenchu raised his eyebrows.

"You, you simply don't know what's good for you." Guo Qing didn't dare to go forward, and kept a safe distance from her." I, I will let the world know tomorrow that you are a vulgar woman."

Everyone looked at Ye Wenchu worriedly. A white-bearded old man came up to persuade her." Miss, if he really makes a fuss, it will be bad for your reputation. It will be difficult for you to get married again in the future!"

"Yes, I am." A middle-aged woman echoed," If a lady breaks off the engagement once, other families will be able to pick on her."

" What do you know?" Ba Jiao shouted." He's not worthy of my Miss."

Ba Jiao pointed at Guo Qing with one hand on his waist and the other on his waist." You can call off the engagement if you want. But kowtow three hundred times to our Miss and call her 'Great Aunt' three hundred times. Otherwise, there's no need to talk!"

If Guo Qing had come to discuss it, how could they not agree? But he had to belittle her young miss, it was too hateful.

Guo Qing was so angry that her lips turned purple. The white-bearded old man shouted," You little servant girl, your mouth is too poisonous. This young master is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. No matter how outstanding your young lady is, he is still worthy of her."

Guo Qing immediately regained some confidence and shouted," She entered the mountains when she was five years old. She hasn't even studied yet, but my brother and I are Juren. Such a woman is not even worthy to be my concubine."

Although everyone felt that Guo Qing was a little too much, they also felt that what he said was reasonable. After all, the difference between their conditions was indeed very big.

"Young Master Guo, if you really want to break off the engagement, then invite a proper matchmaker. I won't disagree." Ye Wenchu said," But if you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite."

Guo Qing was annoyed. If he knew that Ye Wenchu knew martial arts, he should have brought more people with him today.

He held his breath and looked at Ye Wenchu through gritted teeth.

Ye Wenchu ignored him and looked into the rain.

In the rain, a woman holding a child tore the umbrella and stumbled into the rain. The woman was drenched, and the child in her arms was about two or three years old. She was crying and coughing on her shoulder.

The woman was cold. She panted and said to the shopkeeper,"Uncle, I'll lend you the stove to dry my clothes.".

A woman was carrying a crying child as she hurried through the rain. Everyone sympathized with her and spontaneously made way for her.

Ye Wenchu frowned.

"Come into the kitchen," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

The woman carried the child and walked in. Suddenly, an umbrella that had not been opened stopped her.

"You can't go in!" Ye Wenchu pointed at the furthest corner of the roof." Stand over there first."

The woman looked at Ye Wenchu in shock. She did not expect that someone would stop her from warming the fire." Miss, my son is cold. I'll bring him to warm the fire. We'll leave after the rain stops."

"No." Ye Wenchu opened the umbrella and handed it to her, indicating for her to go to the roof.

The woman seemed to have been suppressing her emotions for a long time. She flew into a rage and roared," What right do you have to stop me from entering the house? You're not the county magistrate. Uncle Shopkeeper has already agreed. I want to go in!"

Everyone in the canopy began to criticize Ye Wenchu.

"What's wrong with you, little girl?" The white-bearded old man asked. Even if the county magistrate comes today, he can't stop her from going in to shelter from the rain."

"That's right. Everyone has compassion. How can you be so heartless?" the woman said.

The shop owner nodded." I agree to let the mother and son come in. But you, young lady, should leave this place quickly. We don't welcome you."

Guo Qing saw that the opportunity to take revenge had come. He quickly came up to help the woman carry the child." Big sister, I will send you in. Let's see if this village woman dares to touch you."

" I'll help you up too!" The old man added." Let's see which tyrant dares to block the way!"

Ye Wenchu held the umbrella and nodded slightly." Alright. Since everyone is so insistent, I'll leave the mother and son with consumption to you."

" The rain is about to stop." Ye Wenchu walked into the rain." Ba Jiao, let's go!"
