Chapter 75 We Want to Break Off the Engagement!

  The two people sitting in the chair were stunned after seeing Leng Ruoxue, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

  Taking advantage of the two people's daze, Leng Ruo Xue carefully sized up the two of them. The man had a handsome appearance and shared some similarities with You Xiao, but his temperament was much worse, and his figure was slightly chubby.

  As for that woman, her skin was slightly yellowish, although she had a few good features, but looking at her, she seemed to be a sharp-tongued and petty person.

  "Are you Leng Ruo Xue?" The middle-aged beautiful woman asked with discontent on her face.

  "It is." Leng Ruoxue sat down in her seat, saying calmly.

  "Do you know who we are? How dare you be so slow for us!" The middle-aged beautiful woman scolded, her nostrils almost pointing to the sky.

  "I heard you are my fiancé's parents?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a faint smile.

  "It's enough that you know."

  "But what's the difference?" Leng Ruo Xue said indifferently.

  "What did you mean by that?" The middle-aged beautiful woman stood up from her chair with a 'whoosh', glaring at Leng Ruo Xue in anger.

  "It's just what it says on the surface." Lan's eyes gradually turned cold, and she was already a bit impatient in her heart.

  "Old master, look at this Cold-as-Snow, what attitude is this! We are her elders after all, and she actually treats us like this. Old master, we can't have such a daughter-in-law in our family!" The middle-aged beautiful woman cried with a sad face, complaining to the man beside her.

  "What nonsense, you say no and it's no? This is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, even if this daughter-in-law is not good, we cannot refuse." The middle-aged man said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but sneak a glance at his own son, a flash of guilt in his heart, for the sake of the family, he could only wrong his own son, alas! He was also helpless!

  She watched the two people's dialogue with a cold smile that was not a smile, her heart secretly laughing nonstop. She didn't know what purpose these two people had in suddenly visiting today, but it definitely wouldn't be anything good.

  "I'll go ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement. A daughter-in-law like this, our family can't afford." The middle-aged beautiful woman thought for a moment, as if she had suddenly made up her mind, and said, actually, this was their main purpose in coming today.

  "You want to cancel the engagement?" Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but interrupt.

  "Yes, you are a daughter-in-law who doesn't respect her elders. We can't afford to have you in our family, we must annul the engagement." The middle-aged beautiful woman said loudly, no matter what, today's engagement must be annulled, otherwise she won't be able to face her sister.

  "What if I refuse?" Cold as snow and ice, her beautiful eyes indifferently swept over the couple, her tone devoid of emotion.

  "I refuse too." Ye Chen said, his face full of undisguised disgust. What did these two take him for? Trying to manipulate him, humph!

  "You have no right to refuse, marriage is a big deal that must be listened to by parents." The middle-aged beauty shouted, with contempt in her eyes.

  "Is it?" Ye Chen said faintly, his eyes fixed on the father of this body.

  "Chen Er, this matter, you listen to us and it's not wrong, Leng Ruo Xue is really not suitable for you. In the future, I'll find a better one for you." The middle-aged man coaxed, sighing! He hoped Chen Er would listen to him. Actually, before he came, he hadn't thought that Leng Ruo Xue would be so stunningly beautiful, so his words were also spoken without much confidence.

  "Find a better one? Can you find someone better than Xue Er on the entire Liang Feng Continent?" Ye Chen asked with a furious smile.

  "This...this..." The middle-aged man stuttered.

  "What's the use of being good-looking? Being so disrespectful to her elders, if she were to be married back, wouldn't she have to be worshipped like an ancestor?" The middle-aged beautiful woman's words were much sharper.

  "So you're all thinking of dissolving the engagement?" Cold Snow got annoyed, why did these people always like to bother her?

  "Yes, the engagement must be called off." The middle-aged beautiful woman said very firmly.

  "What's next? Is the Emperor going to arrange another marriage?" Cold Snow said seemingly casually, but in fact, after they had stated their purpose, she had already figured out the cause and effect.

  "This... how am I supposed to know?" The middle-aged beautiful woman hastily denied it, but her expression was somewhat flustered.

  "What do you think?" asked Leng Ruoxue, turning her head to look at the demon sitting beside her.

  "Want to get married, just get married; want to break up, just break up? What are we?" The demon's tone was unpleasant, but in fact he was very clear that neither he nor Xue Er were people who liked being controlled. Those people who wanted to manipulate them had really found the wrong targets.

  "Did you hear that? His words are exactly what I wanted to say."

  Her gaze as cold as snow swept over them lightly, and the two suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies, piercing to the bone.

  "Housekeeper, see the guest out!" Leng Ruoxue ordered.

  "Yes, miss."

  "Please, both of you." The housekeeper's tone was very unfriendly. What kind of parents were these? He had lived for half his life and had never seen such people before.

  Those two people saw that their purpose had not been achieved, and they were both a bit embarrassed. Moreover, they had been given an order to leave, so they suddenly felt very humiliated, and were just about to take steps to depart.

  "Wait!" Ye Chen suddenly called out to stop them.

  "Chen Er." A middle-aged man looked at his son with a face full of expectation.

  "Don't call me Chen Er, I don't have a father like you. From today on, Ye Chen declares that he is leaving the family and will no longer be a member of the Ye family." Ye Chen said coldly to the middle-aged man.

  "Chen Er, do you know what you're saying?" the middle-aged man thundered, his face turning alternately pale and livid with rage.

  "Old master, don't stop him, let him leave if he wants to. Without the protection of our Night House, I'd like to see how he can make a stand on the Liangfeng Continent." The middle-aged beautiful woman also pretended to be angry, but in her heart she was overjoyed. This thorn in her eye had finally rolled away from under her eyelid, it was really great. From now on, no one would compete with her son for anything in the Night House.

  "I'm thinking clearly and I know what I'm saying. You can leave now, don't come back again. From now on, I have nothing to do with any of you." Ye Chen said coldly.

  "Two of you, come on!" The housekeeper said with some disdain.

  "Xue Er, let me hold you." The demon said pitifully when they were alone in the living room.

  "Good." Leng Ruo Xue was somewhat speechless, allowing the demon to hold her, but in her heart, she couldn't help but feel some doubt, wondering why. She always had a feeling of being taken advantage of...

  "Xue Er, to be honest, I don't have any feelings for that so-called father of mine. If he hadn't married that woman for his own career back then, my mother wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have been poisoned from a young age. If it wasn't for someone saving me later on, you wouldn't have seen me today." As she spoke, the little demon started acting spoiled again.

  "Poor thing." Leng Ruo Xue stroked the demon's head as if petting an animal, to be honest, she couldn't imagine why the demon spoke in such a tone, the demon was heartbroken! She didn't know if it was because she lacked sympathy.

  "Xuě ér, from now on you should be nicer to others, apart from you, I don't have any other relatives left." The little scoundrel said with a pitiful expression, his eyes misty as if the tears would fall at any moment if Xuě ér didn't meet his demands.

  "Mm-hmm, I'll be good to you." Lan Ruoxue cooed somewhat helplessly. This demon wasn't supposed to be discussing past events with her, was it? What's going on now?

  "Monster, aren't you going to tell me about your past? Continue!" Leng Ruoxue urged, having been coaxed. She felt that this was very dangerous, as she was afraid that she would be forced to sign N unequal treaties!

  "I've said all I can! What more is there to say?" The demon looked at Leng Ruoxue with a puzzled expression, his face filled with confusion.

  "Is that all?" Cold as snow, this sweat!

  "Hmm, and after I was rescued, I continued to pretend to be ill, and it wasn't until much later that I finally grew up safely!" The mischievous black eyes sparkled as they gazed at Cold-as-Snow, with the words "I'm a poor little thing, come pity me!" written all over them. He didn't care in the least about putting on an act of being pitiful in front of the person he liked.

  "Who saved you?" asked Leng Ruoxue curiously.

  "I'm not saying this now, you'll know later." The demon was selling suspense.

  Looking at the demon's somewhat triumphant appearance, Leng Ruo Xue really wanted to bite him a few times, but seeing that what just happened didn't seem to have any effect on this demon, she felt relieved.

  "Monster, let's continue eating!" Leng Ruo Xue changed the subject.

  "Hmm, I'm not full yet!" The demon said with some dissatisfaction, really didn't want to be disturbed by unrelated people.

  When Leng Ruoxue and the others returned to the garden pavilion, Leng Ruohan had already eaten most of it.

  "Xue Er, Ye Chen, nothing's wrong, right?" asked Leng Ruo Han while eating.

  "It's nothing, I've already left Ye Jia." Ye Chen said calmly, casually picking up a piece of meat and dipping it into the hot pot.

  "What? How could this be, what happened?" Leng Ruo Han was shocked and incredulous. Leaving the family was not a trivial matter, and anyone who left the family meant being abandoned by the family, and would never receive the family's protection again.

  "They have come to dissolve their engagement." explained Leng Ruoxue.

  “……”

  "Xu Na'er just looked for you yesterday, and today, the Ye family's people came to break off the engagement. This is really...". Leng Ruo Han was speechless, when did the Leng family become so easily manipulated by others?

  "Xue Er, are they directly saying they want to cancel the engagement?" Leng Ruohan was very curious, shouldn't the Leng family be a powerful one?

  "No, say I'm being disrespectful to elders first, then speak." Leng Ruoxue was also speechless, this excuse is...

  "It seems this should be the Emperor's idea, Xue Er, some people will stop at nothing to marry you!" Leng Ruo Han couldn't help but tease, however, he also saw that Xue Er and Ye Chen seemed unaffected.

  "Hmm, dare to scheme against me? You'll have to pay the price." Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

  "Hehe, Xue'er, how are you planning to deal with them?" Leng Ruohan was somewhat curious, those people really didn't have eyes!

  "Wait until grandfather comes back and discuss it with him."

  After finishing dinner, Leng Ruo Xue and the other two waited until deep into the night, but Leng Qing Tian and the others still hadn't returned.

  "Brother, why haven't you come back yet? Will something happen?" Leng Ruo Xue was a bit worried and also regretted not going to the banquet with Grandfather and them.

  "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Grandfather is now a spiritual master and Leixiao is a divine beast. In the Eastern Chi country, there are not many people who dare to move against grandfather." Lan Ruohan comforted.

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

  "Brother, let's go back to our room and rest first!" Leng Ruo Xue continued, "If we keep waiting like this, when will it be?"

  "Go back to your room and sleep!" Leng Ruo Han said, he was also feeling a bit sleepy.

  "Uh-huh."

  The next day, Leng Ruo Xue woke up and got dressed. She then went to the study room to look for her grandfather.

  "Miss." Just as she walked into the garden, Leng Ruo Xue met Feng Da.

  "Feng Da, why did you guys come back so late yesterday?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some confusion.

  "The banquet had ended quite early, but afterwards the Emperor and the Grand General had a private conversation that lasted for a long time." Feng Da said with some complaint.

  "Miss, General seems to be in a bad mood!" Feng Da reminded softly after some thought.

  "Hmm." She had expected as much.

  "Grandfather." Leng Ruoxue arrived at the study door and knocked lightly.

  "Xue Er, come in!"

  "Xue Er, was everything all right last night?" Looking at his granddaughter walking in, Leng Qing Tian asked with concern, the housekeeper had already told him.

  "He's fine, but Grandfather, I heard your mood hasn't been too good lately!" asked Leng Ruoxue tentatively.

  "Xue Er, the Emperor has made up his mind to marry you off to the Seventh Prince. Yesterday, he had a long conversation with Grandfather." Leng Qing Tian was speechless, and in order to persuade him, the old Emperor even brought up the previous Emperor.

  "He's made up his mind that it's his business, and I won't let him get away with it." Cold as Snow was getting angry in her heart, had she shown too much weakness? That damned stinky emperor, really needed to be taught a lesson.

  "Grandpa, don't interfere with this matter anymore, leave it to me."

  "Hmm, Xue Er, what are you planning to do?" Leng Qing Tian was really curious.

  "Grandpa, it's better if you don't know," said Leng Ruoxue with a somewhat ill-intentioned tone.

  After leaving Leng Yitian's study, Leng Ruoxue went to find Yao Jiao. Hmm, doing bad things requires cooperation with Yao Jiao.

  "Xuě ér, wǒmen qù nǎ a?" Yāo jiāo zuò zài yǔ de bèi shàng, yī shǒu róng zhe xuě ér de xiān yāo, míng zhēng yán shùn de chī dòu fu.

  Translation:

  "Xue Er, where are we going?" The demon sat on Yu's back, one arm wrapped around Xue Er's slender waist, eating tofu with a clear conscience.

  "Go to Fengtian Academy!"

  "Where are you going? Didn't you say you weren't going?" The demon was somewhat displeased, his passion was there, he didn't want to go!

  "Go find Seventh Prince and settle the score with him, I want to beat him up badly." Leng Ruoxue said with a mischievous glint in her eye, not beating him would be hard to dispel the anger in her heart.

  "Mmm, beat him! Beat him hard!" He raised both hands in agreement with this idea, but...

  "Xue Er, is beating him up enough?" the demoniac thought for a moment and said.

  "Or else?" Cold-as-snow beauty's clear eyes stared at the demon.

  "Let's castrate him!" The demon suggested, humph, thinking of marrying Xue Er, thinking of becoming the emperor, not even a chance.

  Her face as cold as snow, a few drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Why did this demon always like such heavy flavors?

  "My intention is to let him be like the master of Huo's household, seeing but not eating." The demon explained that this was the most severe punishment for a man.

  "Alright then!" Leng Ruoxue agreed.

  "Feathers, land at the back door!" Leng Ruoxue ordered, the back door had fewer people and they wouldn't be discovered.

  "Yes, master." Feathers flew to the back door of Fengtian Academy, found a vacant lot and landed.

  "Ling, give us stealth!" Leng Ruoxue summoned Ling and said.

  "Alright, master, count me in for doing something bad." Ling said with a eager and enthusiastic tone.

  "Master, I want to go too." Yao Xing's excited voice came from the 'Kunlun Ring'.

  "Yao, you can't do it, your claws are too obvious and will be discovered." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment, she was afraid that Yao would also use his claws to scratch like Bao Bei, now she just wanted to secretly trip him up and didn't want to directly confront the Emperor.

  "Master, I'm not that stupid fox," Yao said with a hint of grievance, and in his heart, he was secretly shouting, "I want to do something bad!"

  "Alright then!" Leng Ruoxue couldn't bear its pitiful appearance and had no choice but to release Yao as well.

  The two men and two beasts went straight to find the unlucky Seventh Prince after they had gone into hiding.

  When they found the Seventh Prince Li Yu in the Zun Temple, there was no one else around. Ye Chen rushed up like he saw his father's killer and started beating him. The Seventh Prince hadn't even reacted to what was happening before he was beaten unconscious.

  "It's really unbearable." The demon complained with a tone of unfulfilled intentions, took out a pill and stuffed it into the Seventh Prince's mouth, then patted his hands and returned to Xue Er's side.

  "Xu'er, let's go!" The demon said with a smile, and his mood improved greatly.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow nodded and the two walked towards the door together.

  "Xue Er, where are you going? This isn't the way back to Leng's house!"

  "The Imperial Palace." The imperial palace of Dongchi Country, she hasn't visited it yet!

  "Alright, go give that dead emperor some inhumane medicine too." The demoniac said viciously, all these things were caused by that dead emperor, if he wasn't killed, his name would be written in reverse.

  As expected, it's really spicy! Cold as snow, but fiery inside.

  "Xu'er, where does the Emperor live?" After landing in the Imperial Garden, the demon king couldn't help but ask, he wasn't familiar with the palace!

  "Go see the empress first."

  "See the empress?"

  "Hmm, isn't he trying to make the Seventh Prince become Emperor? I'll make sure he can't." Cold Snow knew that the Empress and Crown Prince must be seething with hatred towards the late Emperor. As the saying goes, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", so cooperating with the Empress was the best choice.

  Leng Ruo Xue relied on the map passed down from her grandfather and soon found the Feng Mou Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

  "You monsters, wait for me here, I'll go in myself." After saying that, Leng Ruo Xue signaled to Ling to remove her stealth technique and walked into the Feng Mou Palace with dignity.

  This queen is quite low-key, except for the guards at the palace gate, not a single maid or guard was found in the entire Fengzhu Palace.

  "Who are you?" The queen, who was sitting upright and reading a book, looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in her palace with a strong self-control, but she was shocked inside.

  "I am Leng Ruoxue." Leng Ruoxue directly reported her name, it can be seen that this queen is absolutely a clever person, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.

  "You're the Cold-as-Snow? Indeed, a rare beauty." The Empress said with admiration, her gaze sizing up the stunning girl in front of her, whose breathtaking looks, noble and elegant demeanor, and extraordinary abilities made her a true gem. The Seventh Prince was no match for such an exceptional woman; it seemed the Emperor's plans were doomed to fail.

  "The queen is also a rare beauty." Leng Ruoxue said honestly, the woman in front of her was indeed beautiful, and it was an intellectual beauty. As for the strength of this beautiful woman, unexpectedly, she was actually a Spirit Emperor! This queen was truly a flower inserted into cow dung!

  "I don't know what Miss Leng wants from me?" The empress smiled and said calmly.

  "Isn't the queen aware of this already? I believe the queen is very clear about my intentions." Leng Ruoxue threw the question back again.

  "Miss Leng is here for the marriage with the Seventh Prince?" The Empress asked very affirmatively.

  "Yes."

  "Miss Leng, this matter was decided by the Emperor, and finding me won't do you any good." The Empress said somewhat helplessly. She too was trying to think of a way to stop this from happening, but so far, she hadn't come up with anything good. In fact, she was the one who least wanted to see the Seventh Prince marry into the Leng family.

  "The queen misunderstood, I came for this matter, but also not entirely for this matter. My main purpose is to cooperate with the queen, for our common enemy." Lan Ruo Xue said openly and honestly, since it's a cooperation, there must be sincerity.

  "Miss Leng, how do you want to cooperate with me?" The Queen asked directly. No need to lie in front of smart people, they indeed have a common enemy.

  "What extent can the Queen achieve?" asked Leng Ruo Xue tentatively.

  "What do you mean?"

  "I believe the Empress should be able to see that the Emperor intends to depose the Crown Prince and establish the Seventh Imperial Son instead." Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.

  "Yes." She had seen it long ago, such thoughts, the emperor was not one day or two days, but the seventh prince's mother's family did not have much power, so the emperor dared not to act rashly.

  "Now that you know, why didn't you prevent it earlier?" Leng Ruo Xue really couldn't understand this woman's way of thinking.

  "After all, he is my husband..." The queen said with some helplessness.

  "But he didn't treat you as his wife, a man who favors his concubine over his wife, and yet you still indulge him. Must you wait until he makes the first move before you come to your senses?" Leng Ruoxue detested this kind of woman who regarded her husband as heaven, clearly an intelligent woman but obstinate when it came to emotions.

  "What you said is right, I was indeed too indulgent to him. Actually, when we first got married, we were happy too, so I always..." The queen said with a choked voice.

  "Men are always fond of new things and tired of old ones, he's probably forgotten already." Leng Ruoxue sneered, she had long since investigated the character of that dead emperor.

  "What do you want me to do." The queen calmed herself down and asked, she was thinking of her own son.

  "The queen can explicitly express her opposition to this matter." Cold Snow reminded.

  "But..." The queen hesitated, she would have opposed it if it were useful.

  "Your Majesty, although your family may not be as prominent as the five great families, it is still the number one family in Dongchi country. If you were to oppose him, the Emperor would at least show some restraint." Cold Snow analyzed.

  "I'll give it a try!" said the Queen.

  "Afterwards..." Leng Ruoxue whispered her plan into the empress's ear.

  "This...this won't do, it's too reckless." The queen stared with wide eyes, disbelievingly at Leng Ruoxue, this girl actually let her...

  "Miss Leng, I think you don't know about the existence of our ancestors yet?" The queen asked with a slightly racing heart.

  "I know that behind every imperial family there is a spiritual being." The old ancestor of the Dongchi country, heard from Grandpa that he was also a spiritual being.

  "You still dare to let me..."

  "Empress, if you don't even have the courage for this, then just wait to be devoured!" Cold Snow reminded indifferently. She knew that the Empress was afraid of that so-called ancestor, but she didn't think that the ancestor would go on a killing spree over such a small matter. After all, the struggle for the throne had always been bloody; presumably, the ancestors back then had also gone through this.

  "Let me think about it!" The queen said thoughtfully.

  "Alright, when you've made up your mind, send someone to find me." Leng Ruoxue said, then turned and left Fengmo Palace.

  Not far from Fenghe Palace.

  "Where did that damned brat run off to? Didn't we agree he'd wait here?" Cold Snow muttered to herself, what a disobedient child, deserves a good spanking!

  "Xuě ér, are you thinking of me?" Just as Leng Ruoxue muttered to herself, the demon's voice appeared beside her ear, and his face was full of excitement.

  "The master said he's going to beat you up, but you won't listen." Yao said with a mischievous tone while lying in Leng Ruo Xue's arms.

  "Uh, Xue'er, must we really fight?" The demon said pitifully, fighting PP is so unbecoming... waaah...

  Her face was as cold as snow, and she looked extremely embarrassed. How could this little thing reveal her innermost thoughts!

  "Where did you go?"

  "I've gone to take poison." The demon confessed its crime honestly.

  "Oh." Leng Ruoxue didn't know what to say anymore, this demon was indeed a man of action.

  "Xue Er, are you really going to hit me?" The demon's black eyes blinked expectantly.

  "Don't fight for now, let's keep track of accounts and settle them all at once later." Leng Ruoxue said with a headache, what kind of expression was that demon showing!

  "Oh!"

  "Oh, what's going on? Let's go back." Leng Ruoxue said with a loud roar, but that "oh", no matter how she listened to it, it didn't sound right, it was really strange.

  "Yes, mistress." The demon said obediently and quickly sat on Yu's back.

  The two quickly returned to the General's Mansion.

  "Miss, those people from Ye Jia have come again." The butler came to inform her as soon as he saw Leng Ruoxue return to the garden.

  "What's going on again? Where is it?" Cold Snow slightly furrowed her brow, somewhat annoyed.

  "It seems like someone from the Ye family has also arrived in the living room," said the butler after a moment of thought.

  "Acting as the master of the house?" Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jie exchanged a glance, somewhat understanding.

  The two of them immediately came to the living room.

  "Grandfather, are there any guests?" Ling Ruo Xue asked with a hint of deliberate inquiry as she walked into the living room.

  "Xue'er, you're back. This is the acting master of the Ye family, from the Night Singing Pavilion." Leng Qingtian stood up to introduce, and frequently winked at his own granddaughter.

  "Hello, under the Night Crying Pavilion." Leng Ruoxue looked at the handsome and noble middle-aged man in front of her, saying calmly, The people of the Ye family are indeed all good-looking.

  "Hehe, Miss Leng, I came specifically to apologize today." Ye Ming said with a good temper, his face full of sincerity.

  "What apology? What are you apologizing for?" Leng Ruo Xue pretended to be puzzled, her beautiful face full of confusion, what was this new act?!

  Digression

  Thank you, dear Liu Xichen and strange cat tt for sending diamonds.
