Chapter 2653: Chapter 2654: Return to Tianyun (220)

Su Changyi dismounted the carriage, saying calmly, "We’ll talk about it after we get up."

An Jing also said, "Yes, let’s get up. Although today’s weather is nice, it’s still quite cold, and the ground must be even colder. You’re not young anymore, you should take care of your health."

However, Meng Lanqing refused to get up: "Thank you, Lord, and Madam, for your concern, but Meng Sizhi, this unfilial son, has gone too far. I don’t dare to rise; I can’t rise."

An Jing and the others were even more curious.

Su Yuxin eagerly and curiously asked, "Uncle Lan Qing, what exactly is the matter?"

Meng Lanqing hadn’t spoken yet when An Yiqing, standing with arms crossed, scoffed coldly: "What else could it be? That scoundrel Meng Sizhi went to propose marriage at the Minister of Justice’s home. In half a year, he will marry the family’s legitimate daughter Shi Zhenzhen!"

Su Yuxin was stunned for a moment, unable to believe her ears. How could Meng Sizhi marry someone else? Wasn’t he fond of her?

Su Changyi felt his precious granddaughter had been toyed with and, in his extreme protectiveness, immediately became furious: "Guards, bring Meng Sizhi to me!"

"Yes, my lord!" The Guard Commander immediately led people to arrest Meng Sizhi.

An Yiqing sneered and said to Su Yi Jing and the others, "I said we should have brought that scoundrel Meng Sizhi earlier, but you didn’t believe me. You insisted on waiting for Father and Mother to return. Now look, we still have to fetch him."

Su Yi Jing’s expression became even uglier. His precious daughter had been toyed with, and he felt a deep urge to kill Meng Sizhi. But the relationship between the two families made it impossible.

Seeing his eldest brother’s face becoming more sullen, An Yizhi quickly tugged on An Yiqing’s clothes and whispered, "Third brother, say less, don’t pour oil on the fire!"

An Yiqing immediately growled, "What do you mean, ’pour oil on the fire’? Yuixin was tossed aside like this, aren’t you all angry?"

An Yizhi immediately fell silent. To be honest, he wanted to slaughter Meng Sizhi too.

Su Yixing and the others shared this thought.

Feng Feiyan, although strict in her discipline and ordering many rules upon her daughter Su Yuxin, everyone knew how much she cherished her eldest daughter. Now her eldest was abandoned, and the man turned to marry another. Unable to tolerate this, and mindful of the relations between the families, her eyes couldn’t help but redden.

An Jing was very angry as well, shouting, "Has Meng Sizhi gone mad? Asked him before but not a word, suddenly an ambush like this, still marrying another! Simply unbearable!"

An Yiqing immediately echoed, "Mother, you’re right, he’s simply unbearable! If he had clearly stated he wouldn’t marry Yuixin earlier, who would have seen them as a couple? We all pondered when they would get married!"

Feng Feiyan, seeing her cherished eldest daughter silent, thought she was too heartbroken, so she walked to her, wrapping her arms around her, choking back tears, she comforted, "Xin’er, don’t be sad. There are more men in the world than him. If he doesn’t marry you, plenty will."

Su Yuxin finally snapped back to reality, but found it both amusing and irritating. She wasn’t sad at all; she actually felt relieved, like a burden on her was lifted.

However, if she said this, none would believe her.

She was just too surprised earlier.

She didn’t expect Meng Sizhi would marry someone else, and so suddenly.

So she decided not to discuss whether she was sad and instead said to Su Changyi, "Grandfather, let it go. Whom he marries is his freedom."
