“Xue’er, Grandpa just wants you to help think of a solution.” Leng Qingtian explained the matter and looked at Leng Ruoxue expectantly.
“Grandpa, don’t look at like that. I’m going back to my room first. I’ll tell you imdiately when I think of sothing.” Leng Ruoxue turned and left. Freak naturally followed closely behind.
…
The next night, Leng Ruoxue, her brother, and Freak sat in a pavilion in the garden, enjoying a hotpot while chatting.
“Big Brother, Grandpa and the others should be there already, right?” Leng Ruoxue asked casually. She had never been to the imperial palace of the Eastern Lagoon Empire, nor did she want to go.
“Yes, they should be there soon. Xue’er, I’m sure many people will be very disappointed that you didn’t go today,” Leng Ruohan teased. He had also heard about what happened yesterday.
“Big Brother, I just want to be happy. How can I have the ti to care about irrelevant people!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
“Xue’er, I’ve cooked this for you. Eat it.” Freak kept feeding Xue’er.
“Miss, soone is looking for Young Master Ye.” The steward walked over to report.
“Who is it?” Freak said with so displeasure.?Who would look for ?
“They are Young Master Ye’s parents,” the steward said anxiously. The visitor claid to be Young Master Ye’s parents, so he had no choice but to disturb them.
“Parents? My mother died when she gave birth to . How can I have a mother?” Ye Chen’s eyes were like ice, and his expression suddenly beca very vicious.
“Steward, ask them to wait in the living room,” Leng Ruoxue ordered.
“Yes, Miss.” The steward was frightened by Ye Chen’s ferocity, and he imdiately dashed away after hearing Leng Ruoxue’s instructions.
“Freak, what happened?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlent. Even though he had been with them so long, Freak had never ntioned anything about his family, and she had never asked about it. In fact, she wouldn’t have asked if not for the guests who suddenly ca to visit. Every family had its difficulties, so she respected his privacy.
“Xue’er, accompany to take a look first. Send them away, and I’ll tell you later,” Freak said with a cold face.
“Okay.”
Leng Ruoxue and Freak ca to the living room together. When they entered the door, they saw a middle-aged couple sitting in chairs.
“Where’s your young lady? Doesn’t she know we’re here? Why is she so rude?” A good-looking middle-aged woman was being picky with displeasure.
The steward standing beside her didn’t even frown and directly ignored her words.
“Be quiet,” the middle-aged man sitting beside her scolded.
“Husband, it’s clear that they’re neglecting us. Is this how the general’s mansion treats guests?” the middle-aged woman retorted, not taking the man’s words seriously.
“Are you looking for ?” Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen walked into the living room casually.
When the two people sitting in the chairs saw Leng Ruoxue, they were clearly stunned for a while before coming back to their senses.
While they were lost in thought, Leng Ruoxue carefully examined the two. The man was handso, and Freak did look a little like him. But his temperant was much worse, and his figure was a little chubby.
As for the woman, her skin was slightly yellowish. She was good-looking, but she looked like a an and bitter person.
“You are Leng Ruoxue?” the middle-aged beauty said with a displeased face.
Leng Ruoxue sat down on the main seat and said flatly, “Yes.”
“Then do you know who we are? How dare you treat us so lightly!” the middle-aged woman rebuked, her nose almost flying into the sky.
“I heard you are my fiancé’s parents?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a faint smile.
“It’s good that you know.”
“But so what?” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
“Leng Ruoxue, what do you an?” The middle-aged woman stood up from her chair angrily and glared at Leng Ruoxue.
“Exactly what I said.” Leng Ruoxue’s eyes turned cold. She was getting impatient.
“Husband, look at Leng Ruoxue. What’s with her attitude! We are her elders, yet she treats us like this. Husband, our Ye family can’t have soone like this as a daughter-in-law!” The middle-aged woman wailed at the man beside her.
“Nonsense. Do you think it’s up to us? His Majesty bestowed the marriage. We can’t refuse even if she’s not good.” The middle-aged man sounded a little helpless, but the corner of his eyes couldn’t help sneaking a glance at his son. The guilt in his heart disappeared in a flash. For the sake of the family, he could only let his son down.?Alas, he have no choice!
Leng Ruoxue watched the two act with a faint smile, but she kept sneering in her heart. She didn’t know why these two people suddenly ca today, but she knew that nothing good would co of it.
“Then I’ll go and beg His Majesty to cancel the engagent. Our Ye family can’t afford to have such a daughter-in-law.” The middle-aged woman thought for a while and seemingly suddenly made up her mind. In fact, this was the main reason why they ca today.
“You want to break off the engagent?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help interrupting.
“Yes, the Ye family can’t afford to have a daughter-in-law who doesn’t respect her elders like you. We have to cancel the engagent,” the middle-aged woman said loudly. No matter what, the engagent had to be broken today, or she wouldn’t be able to explain it to her elder sister.
“What if I refuse?” Leng Ruoxue’s cold, beautiful eyes looked at the couple indifferently, and her tone was emotionless.
“I refuse as well,” Ye Chen said with undisguised disgust on his face.?What do these two think I am? They want to manipulate ? Hmph!
“You don’t have the right to refuse. Marriage matters must be left to your parents to decide,” the middle-aged woman roared, her eyes full of contempt.
“Is that so?” Ye Chen said indifferently, but his eyes were on his father.
“Chen’er, listen to us on this matter. Leng Ruoxue really isn’t suitable for you. I’ll find you a better one in the future,” the middle-aged man coaxed, but he said these words without much confidence.?Alas! I hope Chen’er listens to . I didn’t expect Leng Ruoxue to be a beauty who can topple nations.
