The sound of horse hooves echoed, and Yan Xiyu laughed mockingly.

"That Qin Xuan, to put it nicely, is the adopted son recognized by Old Lady Qin, the Young Master of the Qin family. But how he acquired such a seemingly glamorous title, all those powerful families are well aware."

"In this world, any man who is slightly respectable wouldn’t wander outside alone, not to mention he has a lowly origin and came from illicit circumstances. Let alone how he used his charms to please Old Lady Qin, using cunning to become the Young Master of the Qin family. Deep down, I despise him."

"How can someone like him be worthy of marrying me?"

"Moreover, I heard he seemingly has a son? No one knows who the child’s mother is, there’s gossip suggesting it could be Old Lady Qin’s progeny, after all, she hasn’t reduced her visits to Luolan City over the past few years." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yan Xiyu sneered again, her lips curling as the maid glanced at her, wishing to cover her lady’s mouth in fear of trouble caused by her words.

"Miss, the issues within the Qin family aren’t for us to..."

Yan Xiyu jestingly glanced at Xiao Ya: "I know you’re worried, but Old Lady Qin, despite her lifetime of prestige, has lost the reputation she’s built over many years in her old age. I just speak of her, so what? Could it all be false?"

"Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. She already has an unclean relationship with Qin Xuan, why fear people’s gossip?"

"If she were truly righteous and upright, the rumors wouldn’t be so ugly."

"Moreover, although the Qin family is financially powerful, my Yan family also holds significant influence, and even though I am an unrecorded illegitimate child, I’m still a million times better than her illegitimate adopted son!"

Finally, it seemed she forcefully expelled a breath of discontent.

Yan Xiyu closed her eyes again, regaining her gentle and pure demeanor, hiding all her sharp edges. Even her voice softened considerably: "When I see that Qin Xuan later, there will be a battle to fight. I am determined to retreat from this marriage; no persuasion will change that!"

Xiao Ya looked at Yan Xiyu hesitantly, in the end only letting out a sigh.

The young lady and the madam were at odds, and the madam deliberately concocted this idea to vex her, but still... it’s the Qin family after all.

That Old Lady Qin has only settled down somewhat in recent years, long ago she was a formidable figure, her hands stained with many lives.

Going to retreat the marriage this time not only slaps Yan Madame’s face but also offends the Qin family widely. This could cause major trouble!

The carriage passed by a group.

Dong Huiying’s carriage had been remodeled, with spacious inside, comfortably accommodating eight or nine people.

Presently, Dong Huiying and her six husbands were playing chess, unaware that someone had unsuspectedly stirred up a scandalous affair, and that this scandalous affair intended to retreat from the marriage...

In summary.

When Yan Xiyu’s carriage arrived at Chuixue Manor, she was shocked to learn.

"What?"

Qin Xuan was absent?

Yan Xiyu pursed her lips: "Is he truly not here, or pretending not to be? I come from Dongcui City and my surname is Yan."

The gatekeeper, upon hearing the Yan surname, instantly showed a puzzled expression.

Dongdi holds a few extraordinarily prominent families, the Qin family is the dominator of Dongdi, and besides the Qin family, there are several other forces that are nearly as powerful or slightly inferior, but the Qin family is undoubtedly the most famous and known.

Though the Yan family is not as powerful as the Qin family, it is still quite renowned.
