Xie PanāEr was disgusted by Lu Yunshengās actions.
She had no desire to speak to him further, and carrying her basket of vegetables, she walked towards the County Yamen. Seeing that she was about to reach the entrance of the County Yamen, Lu Yunsheng became anxious and suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Xie PanāErās arm.
"Donāt go, I havenāt finished talking! You have to listen to me and agree before you can leave!"
Hearing this, Xie PanāEr frowned deeply and forcefully shook off Lu Yunshengās hand.
"Mr. Lu, please show some respect. Although I am a girl from a humble family, I am still pure and innocent. If someone sees you behaving like this, it will surely lead to misunderstandings about me!"
"Let them misunderstand. Besides, you are about to marry me, and by then youāll be my wife. Thereās nothing wrong with me acting this way towards you."
Lu Yunsheng shamelessly and boldly said.
Xie PanāEr was furious and spoke directly, "Mr. Lu, I was originally going to spare you some dignity. If you could recognize my refusal and have some self-awareness, we could pretend this never happened, and in the future, you and I would not interfere with each other. But now, since you disregard my reputation and feelings, I have to apologize and say that I, Xie PanāEr, have a thin fortune and am not destined to be with you. I am of low status and cannot match the Ministerās Mansion, nor can I become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. Please find someone else more suited!"
Xie PanāEr tried her best to suppress her anger, refusing Lu Yunsheng in the calmest way possible.
However, Lu Yunsheng was like a sticky plaster; he simply wouldnāt listen.
"PanāEr, do you know what you are saying?
Are you really rejecting me?
Do you dare to refuse me?
Do you even know the extent to which your reputation has been ruined in the Capital City?
Let me tell you, if Iām willing to marry you, Iām already forgiving your past. Do you think that with your current reputation, you could marry into a good family in the Capital City?"
Xie PanāEr was stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her breathing became irregular.
"Lu Yunsheng, listen to me carefully, I, Xie PanāEr, donāt want to marry you. Even if no one wants me in this life, and I never get married, I would rather become a nun in the nunnery, stay an old maid at home, and braid my hair to accompany the Grand Princess for a lifetime, none of it has anything to do with you!"
Lu Yunsheng was equally stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared fixedly at Xie PanāEr.
He never expected the meek Xie PanāEr, who was like a small rabbit, would actually refuse him!
She dared to refuse him!
Lu Yunsheng was furious, with rage boiling up within him.
And this anger gradually transformed into malice!
Lu Yunsheng and Xie PanāEr did not notice that a little girl was watching them from the second floor near the window of a half-opened tavern not far away.
"Very well, be angry!
Destroy!
All of Jiangzhe will become tangible. When your anger reaches a certain point, you will become another valuable pawn for me."
The little girlās voice was not deep, and the sneer on her face was not at all a smile that should belong to someone of her age.
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldnāt help but furrow her brows, looking up at the sky to see a Cyan Dragon flying towards the County Yamen.
Soon, the Cyan Dragon stopped above Yunhang County Yamen, and the people riding on its back dismounted one by one, first landing on the roof of Yunhang County Yamen.
Princess Ata first looked around and saw Xie PanāEr outside the County Yamen. She first showed a look of joy, "PanāEr is there, which means His Majesty and the Grand Princess have safely arrived at Yunhang County Yamen."
Then she furrowed her brows, showing a puzzled expression.
"It seems she is in trouble, and that young gentleman is impatiently speaking to her.
But she looks rather annoyed!"
Just as Princess Ata finished speaking, Ji Youzhi and Dugu laughed and said in unison, "Letās go! Check it out!"
The National Master did not join them because he was still holding a severely injured disciple in his arms!
"Iāll first take the little disciple to rest!"
Dugu laughed, and the others didnāt care what the National Master wanted to do.
Seeing that Xie PanāEr was in trouble, they just wanted to lend her a helping hand!
"PanāEr, Iām really doing this for your own good, truly. Your reputation in the Capital City is already ruined, no one dares to marry you. I can say with assurance that in the entire Capital, only I am willing to overlook your past. So donāt be stubborn; help me, and I will surely marry you with great pomp!"
