536 Incident (3)

Yuan Leyao shook her head repeatedly. “No, you wouldn’t dare.”

Yuan Yuwan sneered. “Why wouldn’t I dare? There have been many scandals about the Yuan Family.”

“You!”

Yuan Yuwan rubbed her wrist and asked, “Where did you hear that the Xiao family wants to annul the engagement?”!!

“Xiao Ruoqian told me. She eavesdropped on Xiao Ruoshui and Madam Xiao. That woman even opened a small noodle shop in the south of the city. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself.”

After Old Master Yuan died, Yuan Yuwan did not move back to the Yuan residence. Instead, she continued to live in the old residence. Apart from special circumstances, she would only go back on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

Although the old residence was not as big as the Yuan residence, and there were not many people serving it, it was still quiet.

Yuan Yuwan returned to the old residence and locked herself in the study to practice her calligraphy for the entire afternoon.

At night, she leaned against the rattan chair in the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

However, the calmer she was, the more worried You Bai was, just like when the old master left back then.

“Miss.” she called out worriedly.

Yuan Yuwan blinked and turned around to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Her tone was as calm and gentle as ever.

Actually, other than facing the wolves, tigers, and leopards of the Yuan family, she rarely got angry.

However, You Bai felt sad and comforted her. “Don’t believe what Second Miss said. The Young General won’t do such a thing.”

“She’s telling the truth.” Yuan Yuwan looked up at the night sky again.

She thought of Xiao Ruoshui’s evasion during the last emperor’s birthday banquet.

It was probably because of this.

After returning from the palace banquet, she even asked You Bai to send over some medicine. She thought that she would be able to get a word or two from him.

But there was nothing.

She could only blame herself for being too slow. That was why she was caught off guard.

Seeing that she was so sure, You Bai’s face turned pale. “Then, what should we do, Miss?”

“You Bai.” Yuan Yuwan closed her eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered, and a faint bitter smile appeared on her lips.

“Miss?” Young Bai’s voice trembled.

“I’ll give you your indenture. Leave.” Her voice was a little hoarse. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you in the future.”

“Miss.” Seeing her like this, You Bai was so anxious that tears fell.

Her Miss was clearly such a good person, but why was her life so bitter?

She still remembered that when the old master left, Miss had also said such a thing to her.

She had served Yuan Yuwan since she was young, so how could she not understand that her young mistress was determined to die again?

Back then, it was Young General Xiao who gave her hope of survival.

Now, it was the same person who had destroyed her hopes.

“Miss, I’m not leaving.” You Bai shook his head repeatedly with a sobbing tone. “Even if you want to leave, you have to take me with you.”

“That’s right, Miss. Let’s escape. This way, the Yuan family won’t be able to force you to marry that bullsh*t uncle.”

Yuan Yuwan chuckled. “Silly girl, where can the two of us escape to? Don’t worry, I won’t court death.”

“Then Miss, you…”

“No matter how much I dislike the Yuan family, I’m still a girl of the Yuan family. Since ancient times, I’ve been ordered by my parents to matchmake.

“As long as my surname is Yuan, I won’t be able to escape.”

There was a hint of desolation in her voice.

“But you know what kind of place Earl Rong’s residence is. I bring you with me because I know it’s a fire pit.”

“I’m not afraid,” You Bai said firmly as she wiped her tears. However, she was afraid that Yuan Yuwan would insist on chasing her away. She gritted her teeth and continued, “If Miss insists on not letting me serve you, I’ll hang myself in front of Miss’s room with three feet of white silk. I’ll follow you wherever you go in the future.”

She was clearly threatening someone, but she shivered.

Yuan Yuwan was stunned. She shook her head and laughed. “It’s cooler here. I’ll take a break.”

With that, she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

You Bai pursed her lips. “It’s still a little cold at night. Miss, wait. I’ll go get a thin blanket.”

Yuan Yuwan didn’t say anything. She just nodded slightly.

Knowing that she was not chasing her away, You Bai heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran back to the room to get a blanket.

Yuan Yuwan was still in the same position as when she left.

She gently covered Yuan Yuwan with the thin blanket and glanced at her. She noticed that the hair at her temples was wet.

You Bai was stunned, but she quickly understood what was going on. Her heart immediately ached.

“Miss, shall we go and look for Miss Xiao?”

Yuan Yuwan remained silent.

You Bai knew that she was not asleep. She sobbed and said, “We have to at least find out what’s going on, right? Even if… even if they want to annul the engagement, they can’t do it for no reason, right? My Miss is clearly so good!”

Yuan Yuwan’s body stiffened. That’s right. They couldn’t be so ambiguous. At the very least, she had to see what kind of woman could make Brother Xiao break his promise.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at Liu’er Street.

“Miss, didn’t you say that you were going to look for Miss Xiao?” You Bai helped Yuan Yuwan out of the carriage.

Yuan Yuwan shook her head. “Ruoshui must be in a difficult position.”
