Chapter 3: Breaking the Engagement

y be afraid of"“Hee hee…” Qin Luoyan laughed, beads of sweat rolling down her temples, waving her hands repeatedly. “That wasn’t an emergency, was it It’s nothing, nothing at all. Just a thousand tael...As the two were talking, Manager Liu's mother walked in through the gate. She was accompanied by two maidservants, all three with faces full of joy. "Oh, Miss Four is up! What a coincidence, your future father-in-law has come to propose marriage and is waiting in the front hall."

Qin Luoyan smirked, ignoring Liu's mother, and calmly strode forward into the hall.

"Miss, wait for me a moment, let me hold an umbrella for you. It's snowing heavily today." Wutong hurried to catch up.

Qin Luo's footsteps faltered. She looked up at the swirling snowflakes and pushed open the oiled paper umbrella that Wutong was holding out. "Give it up," she said, "Let's not cover ourselves up anymore. This snow isn't cold."

Even the coldest snow couldn't compare to the icy, piercing chill of her heart at this moment.

She wore a jubilant peach-colored long robe today, wrapped in a fox fur cloak she had received from King Wuxuan last night. Her tiny figure stood out so forlornly amidst the swirling snow.

Seeing her composed expression, Wutong felt a pang of sadness and, gritting her teeth, she abandoned her oiled paper umbrella and ran after her.

"Little Four is here! Come meet Chen Du Shi, today he has personally come to ask for your hand in marriage."

When Madam Chen, the general's wife, saw Qin Luoyan appear at the door, she immediately stood up warmly and greeted her. Her motherly gaze made Qin Luoyan shiver involuntarily.

Qin Luoyan stood still, she only raised her head to look at the man sitting in the main seat, Qin Tiancheng, the general stationed in Yun City, was her nominal father.

"This must be Miss Qin Si. Don't stand at the door, it's snowing heavily, come in quickly." Sitting to Qin Tiancheng's left was an elder, who looked even older than Qin Tiancheng.

Qin Luoyan's expression remained unchanged, she could clearly feel the lust in Chen Du Shi's eyes.

Such desire, she had seen too much of it. Since she came of age, every man who saw her would show such a look in his eyes. No wonder, with her voluptuous figure, even when she bathed herself, she couldn't help but admire it.

Then Chen Du Shi spoke up, "Why are you still standing there, girl" Qin Tian Cheng's face darkened when he saw her standing still.

The scene was a little awkward. Qin Luoyan smiled faintly, then lifted her skirt and walked gracefully into the hall. Every step she took was full of elegance.

She brushed past the Chen family and walked straight to the front of Chen Duzhi, then smiled sweetly, without speaking, she slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of white, tender arms.

On arms as smooth as polished ivory.

Yet, it was enough to shock those who saw it.

In this patriarchal society, women are born with a jade pendant called "Shou Gong Sha." Therefore, unmarried women always have Shou Gong Sha.

Qin Luoyan's smooth arm, the stone of the palace, is gone!

"You, you!" Chen reacted first, rushing over and grabbing her arm repeatedly looking at it, but unfortunately, Komoryu Suna was really gone.

Chen Du, even with his old face, couldn't bear the embarrassment. He stood up, walked towards Qin Tiancheng and bowed respectfully. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to speak. All he could do was flick his sleeves and leave.

"You shameless thing! Get down on your knees for me!" Qin Tiancheng flew into a rage, raising his hand and slapping Qin Luo'yan hard across the face.

He was a warrior. With one slap, Qin Luoyan's cheek immediately swelled and bore five distinct finger marks.

"If I'm going to be sold to an old man on his deathbed, what face will I have left"

Qin Luoyan laughed, spitting out the blood from her mouth. She raised her hand to touch the bloodstains on her lips and stared intently at Qin Tiancheng's twisted face.

She wanted to remember this face, for the innocence she sacrificed for him, and for the daughter he had killed with his own hands years ago.

Qin Tiancheng was so angry he couldn't speak. Chen immediately walked over, "Dead girl, what do you mean by that Our esteemed General's Mansion, are we going to rely on selling our daughter to survive Your father and I both have good intentions for you, finding a good match. You don't know how to appreciate it, fine, but how can you speak to us like this"

"A good match" Qin Luoyan sneered, "My older sister is two years older than me and hasn't been betrothed yet. Such a good match, why don't you let my older sister go marry him instead"

"Is Xin'er also the lowly maid born from your concubine that you can compare to" When it came to her own daughter, Chen finally became furious and ashamed.

Yes, she was born to a concubine, so her life wasn't a life. It was merely a burden left behind by General Qin's fleeting affections.

Qin Luo's light smile rang out, her pale face juxtaposed against the radiant grin, a scene beautiful yet poignant.

Qin Tiancheng was furious, his hand already reaching for the sword rack. The long sword unsheathed, only one strike would be enough to end this rebellious daughter's life!

"You want to kill me Don't you even ask who took my innocence" Qin Luoyan suddenly tore off the cloak from her body and threw it at him.

The fox fur cloak is rare in the world, especially such a pure black.

It is rumored that the late emperor once bestowed upon King Wuxuan a cloak made of this pure black fox fur. Coupled with King Wuxuan's eccentric and cruel personality, he forbade anyone from touching anything that belonged to him.

So, for the past ten years, the nobles of Fengqicheng have avoided his sharpness and no one has dared to wear a fox-fur cloak anymore.

"Wu, Wu Xuan Wang..." Qin Tiancheng clutched his cloak, his face sinking to the bottom of a valley.

When Chen heard the three words "King Wu Xuan," she was so frightened that she even looked at Qin Luo'yan with fear in her eyes.

King Wu Xuan held immense power, even the current emperor would show him respect. Qin Tiancheng was just a city guard, he wouldn't dare to face King Wu Xuan directly, not even if King Wu Xuan simply tapped his foot would he be able to have a good cup of tea.

"That's it!" Qin Tiancheng dropped his sword and waved to Chen, who was beside him. "Find someone to take her to the suburban villa. For the rest of her life, don't let her return to the old house."

In a single sentence, Qin Luoyan's life and death were decided.

In this world of monarchism and patriarchy, women are so insignificant.

At that moment, the snow outside grew heavier.

Unseen, Qin Luoyan lowered her head, a satisfied smile playing at the corner of her lips.

She, won the bet!

She risked everything, her reputation and even her life, just to escape the clutches of the General's Manor, a prison that had held her captive for three long years.

.

At the city gate, over a hundred soldiers surrounded a luxurious carriage as it slowly moved out of the city. The guards respectfully stepped aside, not daring to approach and ask questions.

Outside the city gate, a languid voice came from the carriage, "Jinmu, have you found that woman"

Jin Mu rode his black steed, scalp tingling slightly. "Regarding Your Majesty's inquiry, every brothel in Yun City has been thoroughly searched, but her trace remains elusive. Furthermore, Chun Yue Lou's madam couldn't withstand the torture and died in prison."

"Just like that, she vanished. You think this is playing hard to get, or does she truly have feelings for me" Fu Zi Mo's voice was calm and collected, giving nothing away.

Jin Mu awkwardly fell silent, unable to answer. Yesterday, he had commented on that woman, and almost ended up being exiled to the border by the Prince. Now, when it came to her, he absolutely dared not speak another word freely.

Fu Zi Mo seemed to see through his thoughts, his voice becoming even clearer. "Jin Mu, that woman is nothing but a plaything. She's been with me for so long, do you think I would send my subordinates to the border for a plaything"

"No." Kaneki breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare answer the question he had just asked.

The carriage occupants saw Jin Mu remained silent, not angry, but instead said softly, "However, Your Majesty hasn't encountered such a toy in ages. So, I'll give you a month to bring her to see me. Otherwise, you'll truly go to the northern border to replace Ling Shui."
