Chapter 102 Chu Huanyan breaks off the engagement in public

"Take her back to your home?" Chu Huanyan felt as if she heard some joke, "Chu Wanyan, you promised your parents to send a message, but you broke your promise. You don't feel any guilt at this moment, but instead you asked me to take you back to your home? "

Chu Wanyan avoided Chu Huanyan's gaze, just stared at the ground and said: "Elder sister, I really know that I was wrong."

Chu Huanyan sneered, "In this world, if you admit your mistakes and regret them, you will have a way out."

"So you really don't want to care about me?" Chu Wanyan suddenly raised her head.

"Have you reached a desperate situation? It seems you haven't yet." Chu Huanyan glanced at the person in front of her, "Although you have been beaten a few times, your limbs are still sound. You are neither poisoned nor sick. It's just that you married a poor man. You are just a reliable disgusting husband. In this case, you can save yourself."

"What do you mean?" Chu Wanyan was confused.

"It means that you can make a clean break with the Zhou family and then find a way to support yourself."

"How do I support myself..."

"If you go out and take a look, you will see vegetable sellers, vendors, and people washing clothes on the streets everywhere. If it doesn't work, you can still make a living by working as a slave for wages."

This world has strict requirements for women, but the rule of not leaving the door but not stepping forward can only fall on women with some family background.

For the really poor people, living in this world is already very difficult, and they don't care about the fact that women cannot be exposed to the public.

"Are you crazy?" Chu Wanyan looked at Chu Huanyan in shock, "I am also a young lady from the Hou Mansion. If you want me to go out and do this, you might as well just kill me!"

Chu Huanyan sneered. If Chu Wanyan could really go out and do this, she would still admire her a little in her heart. But now it seems that she overestimated Chu Wanyan.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"However, I will watch you die in the Zhou family with my own eyes, in this good home that you have longed for and chosen despite all odds."

"Chu Wanyan, you will never go back to the Hou Mansion. I'll wait and see if one day you reach a desperate situation, will you still dislike those women who rely on their own hard work to make a living!"

Amidst Chu Wanyan's sharp and piercing voice, Chu Huanyan left the Zhou family in a good mood.

In the past, she might have stayed and admired Chu Wanyan's embarrassment, but now she had more important things to do - investigate what happened to her parents back then.

But before that, she still had one thing to solve!
……

"Are you really sure that Lin Zeyuan will be released from prison today?"

The next day, in a street teahouse, Chu Huanyan looked at the bustling people below and asked the crescent moon.

"Miss, the news came from the Prince's Mansion, it should be correct. And I heard that Yang got the news and went to wait outside the Dali Temple prison early in the morning."

Chu Huanyan nodded, slowly picked up the teacup in front of her and started drinking tea.

When he was about to drink a cup of tea, Lin Zeyuan and Yang finally appeared.

Lin Zeyuan was in a state of embarrassment. Although his face was somewhat hidden by his cloak, the Yang family next to him could not be more obvious. He was supporting his son and cursing in a low voice all the way, full of blame and resentment towards Chu Huanyan.

"It seems that the relationship Auntie found was not in vain." Chu Huanyan got off the teahouse and happened to stop in front of the two of them.

As soon as they saw Chu Huanyan, Yang and Lin Zeyuan's expressions suddenly turned ugly.

Yang almost blurted out the words "bitch", but after considering so many people coming and going, he finally swallowed it.

"You've already got the jade pendant, what else do you want to do!" Yang stared at Chu Huanyan fiercely.

"That jade pendant was originally left by my parents. Now it can only be regarded as returned to its original owner. Why is my aunt so angry?"

Chu Huanyan spoke leisurely, glanced at Xian Yue from the corner of his eye, and the latter immediately spoke loudly. "Everyone, our young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Opposite us are our young lady's fiancé Lin Zeyuan and his mother Yang. There are some things today that I would like to ask everyone to bear witness to."

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately remembered the rumors of bribery and threats that had been making a fuss in the past few days, and immediately gathered around.

Lin Zeyuan's face turned ugly, "Huanyan, there is something that we can't talk about in private. Why do we have to make such a fuss in public?"

Chu Huanyan's eyes swept across the crowd, and then fell on Lin Zeyuan, with a smile on her lips.

"My aunt threatened me with my parents' relics in public before. Now, why do I have to say it in private?"

"Stop talking nonsense, when did I threaten you?" Yang denied immediately.

But the people around her naturally wouldn't believe her. After all, these things had been spread to everyone over the past few days.

"Didn't you pay a bribe? How come you were released!"

"It's just, it's only been a few days, why have you been released?"

"The bribery matter is completely false. Now that the Yamen has found out, you must stop talking nonsense, otherwise you will frame the imperial official!" Lin Zeyuan said immediately.

"Tch, we have heard that he is a ninth grader and is an official of the imperial court!"

"Yes, and even if there is no bribery this time, who can guarantee that there will be no secret manipulation next time..."

The people who were watching the excitement were all talking, and Lin Zeyuan's face turned pale for a moment, and he finally looked at Chu Huanyan with resentful eyes.

"Is this what you want?"

"Of course not." Chu Huanyan smiled and shook her head. How could this alone be enough?

Signaling everyone to be quiet, Chu Huanyan raised her voice and spoke.

"Everyone, the marriage between Lin Zeyuan and I was ordered by my parents. The matchmaker said that after the decline of the Hou Mansion, the Lin family immediately avoided it for fear of not getting married. I had no intention of continuing this marriage. However, something happened to the Lin family later, and Lin Zeyuan and his mother took refuge. When I arrived at the Marquis Mansion, I re-accepted the engagement with a little affection from my elders in the past."

"Miss Chu, we all know these things. You are really kind and righteous. It's just a pity that some people are just shameless and white-eyed wolves!" Someone in the crowd spoke, and there was a burst of agreement.

Lin Zeyuan and Yang's expressions became increasingly ugly as they listened to the curse.

"Chu Huanyan, what on earth do you want to say!" Lin Zeyuan gritted his teeth.

Chu Huanyan simply wanted to ruin her reputation in public!
Seeing Lin Zeyuan's furious look, Chu Huanyan remained unhurried and waited until everyone's accusations subsided before continuing to speak.

"It's just a pity that now I realize that I don't know people well. In addition, the Lin family secretly hid the relics left by my parents and refused to return them. It is really chilling. Whether it is the Marquis of Ning'an or me, Chu Huanyan, I really disdain to continue to have any involvement with these people. So..."

Chu Huanyan paused and spoke word by word while facing everyone's gaze.

"Today, I ask you all to bear witness. Lin Zeyuan and I broke off our engagement in public and have had nothing to do with each other since."

Lin Zeyuan was furious. After this incident, he naturally knew that the engagement between him and Chu Huanyan was no longer possible, but he did not expect that Chu Huanyan would break off the engagement openly on the street.

This was not only a slap in the face in front of everyone, but also clearly told everyone that he had turned against the Ning'an Marquis Mansion and cut off his escape!

hateful!

Lin Zeyuan gritted his teeth, his mind racing rapidly. The next moment, his expression changed, and he spoke sadly and lonely.

"Huanyan, I don't know anything about the relics at all. And although I was confused for a while and did some things wrong, all I did was to enter the officialdom early so that I could be worthy of you. You had clearly approved of this before. Yes, how can you be so heartless now!"
