At this moment, no one would mention that Cheng Jinrong and Pei Zhang grew up together, let alone that the two of them almost got engaged.

Cheng Jinrong smiled faintly: "He Qi and I were on duty in the palace. We made a private agreement to get married and we will talk about the marriage three years later. The wife is interested in adding makeup, and I appreciate it."

It took three years to get married, which has been delayed for too long.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou muttered in her heart that she would not have such a mouth. She said a kind word with a affectionate voice before she got up and left.

Empress Pei neither kept Mrs. Yong'an for lunch nor rewarded Pei Zhang and his brother and sister.

Mrs. Yong'an returned to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion with empty hands and faceless face.

...

The Marquis of Yong'an was in the court and was not in the mansion. Pei Zhang was recuperating in the yard. Pei Xiu hid in the house and cried several times, but refused to come out to see anyone.

It was said that it was two happy events, but there was no joy in the mansion.

Mrs. Yong'an was depressed and went to her son Pei Zhang's yard first.

The injury on Pei Zhang's arm was actually almost healed. But he remained silent all day long, describing his thin and haggard appearance, with a blank expression, and no vitality at all.

When Mrs. Yong'an saw Pei Zhang's appearance, she felt both distressed and annoyed, and cursed hatefully: "Look at your success! Miss Ye San of the Duke of Jingguo Mansion is of top appearance and outstanding skills. She is a general tiger girl. How can she not be worthy of you?"

"I tell you, today I went to the palace to see the Queen, and Cheng Jinrong was also there. When she mentioned your marriage, she did not react at all."

"She climbed to the high branch of the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion. From now on, she will be the wife of the Duke of Pingguo. How can she keep you in her heart? Who would you show me here to death? Apart from my mother, who would feel sorry for you? "

No matter how much Madam Yong'an Marquis persuaded him, Pei Zhang didn't say a word and even closed his eyes.

Mrs. Yong'an said in a dry mouth and a bitter breath: "Forget it, I've said everything I should say. This marriage was decided by your father. Since you have agreed, you must be happy when you meet someone in the future. Getting married is a good match for two surnames. Think about it carefully in your heart!"

After saying that, he got up and left.

The room was still quiet.

It took a long time before Pei Zhang opened his eyes, and endless pain appeared in his eyes.

Only when there is no one around can he immerse himself in the memories of the past. The better the memories are, the more painful the reality is.

That night, the moment of hesitation was like a silver mirror, clearly reflecting the weakness and hypocrisy in his heart, and completely destroying his pride.

He really lost his cousin forever.

He even had no face to blame anyone.

...

Children and daughters are all debts that have been repaired in their previous lives.

Mrs. Yong'an hugged Pei Xiu, whose eyes were swollen, and sighed in her heart, "A Xiu, I know you are unhappy. You don't want to marry Jiang Liu. I don't want you to marry a useless coward."

"But this marriage was decided by your father. I can't do anything about it. Just accept your fate!"

Pei Xiu cried, "I don't accept my fate! Mother, I don't accept my fate! I haven't made any formal decision yet, and it's still time to change my words and regret it. Mother, I beg you, go and ask your father, beg him to leave this marriage!"

Mr. Jiang Liu's name of crying and cowardly has long been spread in the circle of ladies in the capital.

In the past, Pei Xiu and his close friend had joked in private. I wonder who would be so unlucky in the future and would marry such a crying coward.

I never expected that she was the unlucky person!

The more Pei Xiu thought about it, the more sad he became. Tears dripped like beads with broken threads, constantly dripping down.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was very sad and her eyes turned red: "What stupid words are you saying? Although you haven't decided, how can you quit the marriage you have verbally agreed to?"

"Besides, you are not sure what your father is. I have said so many times over these days, for your marriage, and I have worn out my mouth and failed to change your father's mind."

"It's useless if you cry thousands or hundreds of times."

Pei Xiu threw herself into his mother's arms and cried loudly.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou cried with her daughter in her head, and her eyes were swollen and hoarse, and then she stopped slowly.

In the evening, when the Marquis of Yong'an returned home, he saw that the mother and daughter were both red and swollen, and he suddenly became angry: "Why are you, mother and daughter crying like this? If it is reported, not only will the Duke of Wei lose face, but our Pei family will be completely lost."

Mrs. Yong'an Hou's heart trembled and she quickly squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Marquis calmed down. A Xiu was young and energetic, and she couldn't make a turn. From now on, I will definitely persuade her."

Yong'an Hou snorted heavily.

Pei Xiu bit his lips, and tears in his eyes were about to fall.

Yong'an Hou glanced at Pei Xiu coldly: "Please put away all your tears. Before getting engaged, you stayed peacefully in the boudoir, and you were not allowed to leave the house or see any outsiders."

"If there is any mistake in this marriage, you won't have to get married again in the future."

Pei Xiu's crying sound was choked back.

...

Jingguo Duke's Mansion.

In the martial arts training room, Ye Lingyun was beaten by his own sister and ran around, and she wailed from time to time: "It hurts so much! I admit defeat, stop quickly!"

"You are angry and go and tell your grandfather, grandmother, parents, parents, don't come to me! It's not that I want to get engaged to you...oh!"

Ye Qingyun, dressed in red, had red cheeks, angry flames ignited in her eyes, and her fists and feet were flying, beating Ye Lingyun's nose and face to a swelling.

Ye Lingyun was used to being beaten by his own sister since childhood, so he had to admit that he was unlucky. When Ye Qingyun calmed down a little, he saw Ye Lingyun grinning and feeling pitiful, he rarely felt guilty and uneasy.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry," Ye Qingyun apologized: "I originally wanted to accompany you to practice martial arts. But when I got angry, I couldn't control my hands and feet at all. I took action harder today."

Miss Ye San, who was not afraid of the ostentatious and wanton, was depressed and depressed at this time.

Ye Lingyun felt quite uncomfortable and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't want to marry all the princes, and you don't want to live a life of intrigue all day long. Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is coming to propose marriage, why are you unwilling to do it again?"

Although he and Pei Zhang had no relationship, Pei Zhang was one of the most outstanding noble boys in the capital. Why was Ye Qingyun not happy with such a marriage?

Ye Qingyun snorted: "Pei Zhang has always liked his cousin Cheng Jinrong. Now Cheng Jinrong and He Qi are a couple. The Pei family turns around and wants to come to the Ye family to propose marriage. What are you treating me as?"

"Don't say I don't want to get married, even if I want to get married, I have to marry a husband who treats me wholeheartedly."
