Yun Luan nodded lightly: "My third sister and I explained that what happened to Yin Bailian was not your original intention... But my third sister still insisted on breaking off the engagement with you. She said that our father is gone and she must keep her filial piety. Three years, I can't waste three years of your life in vain."

"Even if Yin Bailian hadn't happened, she would have already had the intention to break off the engagement with you. Today's incident is just a trigger... So Mr. Zhou, you don't have to feel guilty. From now on, you will get married separately. , no one gets in the way of anyone...this is the best."

Zhou Tong's eyes gradually turned red, and he pursed his lips and smiled softly. "Marry each other? No one will hinder the other? I also have a share in this marriage. She can't just back out. This is not something she can say alone. Forget it. Waiting for her for three years is nothing, I will wait even for thirty years..." He said, without saying a word, he got on his horse, turned the horse's head and ran towards the city gate. He wanted to catch up with Yun Qing, He needed to speak clearly to her. He couldn't let her leave so unclearly. Zhou Tong ran out of the city gate for more than ten miles in one breath, and finally saw Yun Qing driving his horse forward. He tightened the reins and quickly caught up. , rushed in front of Yun Qing and blocked her way. "Yun Qing, there are some things that I think we need to make clear... You can't just leave without saying goodbye."

Yun Qing was startled. She didn't expect Zhou Tonghui to catch up so quickly. She ignored the pain in her chest, avoided his burning eyes, and replied in a hoarse voice: "I think my attitude is clear enough. "

"The divorce is not entirely due to Yin Bailian. I really have to observe mourning for my father for three years. Three years is not a short time, and I don't want to delay you. Besides, the General's Mansion today is not as good as it used to be. The General's Mansion has countless enemies. Rui The Wang Party is watching with eager eyes, and anyone who gets involved in the General's Mansion will probably end up badly."

"This Yin Bailian incident may be King Rui's handiwork. Therefore, there is no need for you to take risks and risk your own safety and future by continuing to struggle with me. Zhou Tong, I am canceling the engagement for your own good. With you With her appearance and abilities, you will definitely find a better wife who is gentler and more virtuous than me."

Zhou Tong got off his horse and walked up to Yun Qing. He looked up at her and asked in a deep voice. "Yun Qing, I just want to ask you, we have known each other for so long, don't you have any respect for me?" Are you tempted?"

Yun Qing pursed her lips and remained silent. She avoided Zhou Tong's eyes. She really didn't know how to face him now. What Mrs. Zhou said was like a seal engraved in her heart. Zhou Tong is so good, he really needs someone better. An excellent and better woman should be his wife. She is not the best home for Zhou Tong, and she will never be able to give him a warm and stable home. Her future is on the battlefield. She simply cannot do it, washing her hands for a man. She made soup and became a housewife who only depended on men. After this incident, she clearly realized that she and Zhou Tong were from two different worlds. She was not suitable for him and not suitable to be his wife. A hint of humility flashed through Zhou Tong's eyes, and he continued to ask without giving up: "How about even a little bit of temptation? Have you ever?"

He was waiting for Yun Qing's answer. But Yun Qing didn't answer from beginning to end. She remained silent and didn't look at Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong raised his head and looked at her blankly. His heart was filled with enthusiasm. His heart turned cold little by little. His face gradually turned pale. "Yun Qing, you have never liked me, have you? Our engagement was completely a compromise you made to your parents out of necessity. Really? I’m just the one you can choose, am I the best choice?”

For some reason, Yun Qing's nose felt so sore. She endured the sobs in her throat and nodded slowly towards Zhou Tong: "Yes, I have never liked you. I have never had feelings for you... If my father hadn't Maybe if we get married by the end of the year, we will be a very harmonious couple who respect each other as guests."

"But Zhou Tong, you have to understand, that's all. If you don't like it, you just don't like it. I can't force myself to fall in love with you. The General's Mansion has undergone such a big change, and my thoughts have also changed... The General's Mansion's revenge There is no retribution, but if I can contribute a little bit of strength to the General's Mansion and the entire Southern Reserve, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"My destiny is not to get married. I will never forget the mission of the ancestors of the General's Palace. Protecting the family and the country has never been a matter of men. As a woman, as long as I have a heart to serve the country with all my heart, I can also break out. A world."

"My ambition has never been limited to the backyard...Zhou Tong, you probably don't want to cut off my wings to fly, tie me to you, and become a soulless puppet, right?"

Zhou Tong stood there, motionless. He let the cold north wind cut his skin severely like a knife. Yun Qing walked away, and after saying those words, he drove away. Her words, Every word was deeply imprinted in his heart. She said that her ambition was never to live in the backyard. She wanted to spread her wings and fly. If he loved her, then he should let her fly and give her freedom. He stood In the dark night, he stared blankly at the direction where she disappeared. Her figure completely blended into the night. He clutched his painful chest and raised his lips in a sad smile. He murmured in a low voice: "Qing'er, I I never thought of cutting off your wings and confining you to the back house..." With one sentence, she completely cut off their relationship. She left him cruelly and never looked back. A drop of cold tears, It slipped from the corners of his eyes and flowed into the corners of his mouth. The bitter taste made him heartbroken and painful. Zhou Tong returned to the city in despair. When he arrived at the Zhou Mansion, it was already dawn. He stumbled off his horse and knocked. The housekeeper ran over to open the door. When he saw Zhou Tong's haggard face, his eyes were full of worry: "Sir, are you okay?"

Mrs. Zhou didn't sleep all night. She had been waiting for Zhou Tong to return. When she saw Zhou Tong entering the bedroom in a state of embarrassment, being helped by the housekeeper, her heart trembled. She quickly greeted him and supported Zhou Tong's arm. "Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me?"

Zhou Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Zhou indifferently. He curled his lips and smiled coldly. "Mom, now it's as you wished. Qing'er and I broke off the engagement. Oh, we're done... You never knew that for How much effort did I put in to get engaged to Qing'er?"

"Now, it's all in vain. She doesn't want me, she's gone, and she will never look back."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of guilt, and she cried in pain and confessed: "Tonger, mother, mother knows that she was wrong... It was mother who was confused, her ears were soft, and she was instigated by Yin Bailian, and she did something wrong. Don't blame mother. good?"
