Yun Ziheng didn't give Yuan Qingling a chance to speak, he just started talking.
"Miss Yuan's father, ah, indeed, it is really hard to talk about. Excuse me for being blunt, but Miss Yuan's home is a hellhole."
Yuan Qingling was shocked.
"In just half a year, a calm and energetic woman like you could be tortured to such a state of self-destruction and haggard appearance. This shows how terrible the shady plots and insidious means in the backyard are. They really do great harm to people.
Just now, when I closed my eyes to rest, I had already thought of a countermeasure in my mind. When I return to the mansion, I will send people to spread the news everywhere, saying that when Miss Yuan went out to the Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, she attracted a group of vicious assassins, implicated Master Yun and injured him. Now, the General's Mansion has reported this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious when he heard that his uncle was injured.
Miss Yuan, as far as I know, your father has always been a selfish person. Once he finds out that this matter may affect his own interests and reputation, he will most likely sever the father-daughter relationship with you without hesitation. By then, you can completely get rid of this daunting family bondage and avoid being tortured by your stepmother in the future.
I will welcome you into my family. However, once you sign the document of breaking off the relationship, it means that there is no turning back for you, Miss Yuan. So, regarding this matter, I hope you can think carefully about it.
"I don't mean to cut off your retreat, but Jun Ye and Zhi Yuan are my nephews after all. I am proud of my status as such, and they are also royal relatives. I have to consider both of them. Lord Yuan is a flatterer. If he knew that he could marry into the general's mansion, I'm afraid..." Yun Ziheng didn't say the rest of the words when he saw that Yuan Qingling looked unhappy.
"Miss Yuan, to be honest, I may have met many women, but you are the only stranger whose name I can remember. I was born with a mission, and I may not be able to give you the love that an ordinary husband can give, but I will respect you, protect you, and prevent you from following in your mother's footsteps. I am willing to practice this with my life. Miss Yuan, you don't have to rush to answer me. Just give me the answer after you have thought it over."
Yuan Qingling said bluntly, "I do."
"It's just..." Yuan Qingling changed her tone, "Will your father and mother agree to you marrying someone like me who is not valued by the family, no, a commoner who has signed a severance agreement with the family?"
Yun Ziheng was caught off guard by Yuan Qingling's "I do". When he heard Yuan Qingling's question, he blurted out, "Father and mother never care about family background, they only care about character. Mother still often mentions Miss Yuan's song. I want to listen to it again."
Yuan Qingling bit her lip and frowned.
Yun Ziheng was actually somewhat happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked calmly, "Miss Yuan, are you really not going to consider it again?"
He admitted that he was taking advantage of the situation a bit, but he didn't want to miss out on someone who was so ideal.
Yuan Qingling shook her head and said softly, "No need."
She had indeed considered her marriage, but she also knew that her father would definitely use her marriage as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the powerful. Even if she married into a wealthy family, she would probably be a concubine.
What her mother hated most was for her to become someone else's concubine.
It seems that marrying Yun Ziheng is the best choice.
Although the General's Mansion is the home of a military general, the family members are very good and treat the servants kindly. The key is that the ancestral precepts of the General's Mansion are not to take concubines, even if there will be no descendants.
This is the reason why so many noble ladies are vying to enter the general's mansion.
Although marrying into the General's Mansion would sever ties with the Yuan Mansion, this was also what she had always dreamed of.
In the backyard, there are indeed many shady ways of torturing people. She has been tortured to the point of not being herself like herself in the past six months.
She almost faced reality and compromised with fate.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ziheng showed up.
She had clearly left the room empty and told him not to chase her anymore, but he still chased her and even carefully prepared a carriage and clothes.
She told herself not to be moved, because what he needed was the wife of a general's eldest son, not a dodder who only cared about love.
"Lord Yun, if what you said today is true, I am willing to marry you." Yuan Qingling raised her head and looked at Yun Ziheng with firm eyes.
Yun Ziheng nodded, and seeing her determined expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, what about breaking off the engagement?" Yun Ziheng asked apologetically.
Yuan Qingling nodded, "Master Yun, just make the arrangements. I will cooperate."
Yun Ziheng sighed and decided that it would be better if the Yuan family didn’t go back.
Yun Ziheng sent Yuan Qingling to Xiangguo Temple and then hurried back.
"Master, the doctor is already waiting at the manor." Yin Feng reported to Yun Ziheng through the curtains.
Yun Ziheng nodded to show that he understood.
Yin Feng curled his lips and said a lot to Miss Yuan, saying that his master was too partial.
Yin Mu glared at him, and Yin Feng tilted his head arrogantly.
General's Mansion.
"Have the two children been sent back?" Yun's mother had been sitting in the front hall. When she saw Yun's father come in, she immediately went to greet him.
Father Yun helped Mother Yun sit back down. "They were sent back. Nanny Gong and Eunuch Wu came to pick them up personally. I sent them back. Why are you worried? They are not like those two bastards. They ran away one by one. But you are not feeling well. Why are you still waiting outside? You should rest earlier."
Yunmu smiled gently, and instead of responding to his words, she brought up another matter.
Her tone was very gentle, "Heng'er said that he wanted to send the young lady of Yuan Mansion to Xiangguo Temple. This is the first time he has heard the name of a young lady from another family since he grew up."
Father Yun frowned slightly and sighed.
"Speaking of which, the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family is also a pitiful child. Going to Xiangguo Temple so late at night must have been arranged by her family. I have never seen a family favor a concubine to such an extent. They don't care about the legitimate daughter, but care about the illegitimate sons and daughters who are not worthy of the public."
Yunmu also had a bit of worry between her brows. "That child is very good. I like the sound of the piano at the palace banquet. He doesn't fight or compete, and is indifferent to fame and fortune. At such a young age, he has such a character. I think he must have suffered a lot. How pitiful."
"I just don't know if this is destined for our family." Yunmu said in a vague voice.
"You should take good care of your health. Why do you worry so much? When Luoluo comes back and sees you like this, we three father and son will definitely have a lecture." Father Yun smiled and helped Mother Yun to get up and walked towards the bedroom.
Yunmu smiled and glared at him, "You are really old, why are you so nagging? Luoluo has no intention of being mean to you. My health is not very good now, and I don't know when my Luoluo will be back."
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't think too much. It's not good for your health." Yun's father comforted her.
Yunmu sighed deeply and nodded helplessly.
