Chapter 1382: Chapter 1380: Grateful Acceptance
As Guan Chuyingâs emotions settled down, Wufu asked about how she discovered Xu Huazhang, which led to the broken engagement. As expected, it was a scheme set up by the Guan Family. After all, the two families had been discussing marriage and even exchanged Betrothal Letters, known to several other families.
The sudden dissolution of the engagement required an explanation, and the Guan Family was especially displeased, even resentful, of the Xu familyâs way of wronging their precious daughter. For the sake of their daughterâs reputation, they had to retaliate against the Xu family!
After all, a daughterâs reputation is important. Even if the engagement is broken, they have to stand on the moral high ground, so that Guan Chuyingâs future proposals will not be affected.
"Since things have settled, donât dwell on it. Anyway, thereâs no more relationship between the two families. Wait for the rumors to pass, and then find a good marriage!" Wufu advised.
Guan Chuying shook her head and said, "Iâm scared. Peopleâs hearts are terrifying. Itâs better not to marry and stay with my parents forever. I donât think my brother would mind!"
"Nonsense! Your brother wouldnât mind supporting his sister, but what about your sister-in-law in the future?" Wufu lightly scolded, "This is a case of being once bitten by a snake, youâre now afraid of ropes for ten years. There are many good men in the world. Weâll keep our eyes open and search slowly. Weâll surely find a suitable one. Donât let Auntie hear this, or sheâll feel even guiltier!"
Regret flashed in Guan Chuyingâs eyes, and she nodded silently, "I understand!"
Wufu finally felt satisfied and patted her on the shoulder, "Good girl! Itâs better for a woman to marry later and have children later as itâs healthier."
Changping chuckled, "You sound like someone with experience!"
Wufu said proudly, "Well, I know at least more than you." After all, she had watched modern movies.
Changping stuck out her tongue.
Watching her two close friends joke around, Guan Chuyingâs face also showed a slight smile, and her mood improved significantly.
"Miss!" Lan Cao walked in, holding a letter.
"What is it?"
"The doorkeeperâs wife sent a letter to Miss." Lan Cao said.
Guan Chuying paused, took it, and saw only her name as the recipient. Opening it, there was no signature, and it only said three words: Iâm sorry.
She pursed her lips, let out a cold laugh, crumpled the letter, and said, "Burn it. Tell mother to replace the doorkeeperâs wife, or else all sorts of messy letters will come in and harm our Guan Family."
"Yes!"
Wufu asked, "Sent by Xu San?"
Guan Chuying nodded, "Besides him, I donât know who else would apologize to me. He still considers himself sincere. Alas, as you said, as long as he sincerely likes Lian Chuner and doesnât harm others, I still respect his intentions. Letâs see if he marries in the future to know his true heart."
Wufu nodded secretly. Despite Guan Chuyingâs heartbreak, she wasnât blinded by what was called affection.
Madam Guan naturally wouldnât ignore matters concerning Guan Chuyingâs courtyard. Hearing that her daughter opened up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Nanny Li, "A daughter still needs a few intimate friends, at least to have someone to comfort her when sheâs upset!"
"Miss is fortunate!"
Madam Guan finally showed a slight smile, "Arrange the gifts for their departure personally, especially for Wufu, double it. Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, consider it a holiday gift. No matter what, our Guan Family still owes her a favor!"
Nanny Li went to make the arrangements with a smile, without further mention.
