Tuo Ba Ying Ying, upon hearing this, laughed with delight and said, "Ding Yan, you are really naive. I am so envious and jealous of you. Do you know who Mo Wenjie is?"
Ding Yan looked at Tuo Ba Ying Ying upon hearing this, "He's just the sworn brother of the Thousand Commander, isn't he? It's because of this relationship that he forced our family to agree. He's not a real man. Although I can't resist this marriage, I look down on him from the bottom of my heart. A person who oppresses others by taking advantage of relationships is no good at all!"
Tuo Ba Ying Ying laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Ding Yan, aren't you particularly eager to annul the marriage? If you have the opportunity to annul the marriage with him, will you regret it?"
Ding Yan looked at Tuo Ba Ying Ying upon hearing this, "If I can really annul the marriage with him, I will never regret it!"
Tuo Ba Ying Ying giggled upon hearing this, "You really are naive. You have no idea what kind of person he is. Well, if I tell you that I want to marry him and hope you can help me, would you be willing to help?"
Ding Yan looked at Tuo Ba Ying Ying with a stunned expression, "Tuo Ying, don't you realize how foolish you are? Why do you still want to jump into a fire pit?" Ding Yan couldn't help but wonder if Tuo Ying had lost her mind. Maybe she was too hot and her brain was affected!
Tuo Ba Ying Ying burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. Your husband, Mo Wenjie, is not just the sworn brother of the Thousand Commander. He is also a herbalist that every martial artist wants to flatter. His level as a herbalist is extremely high. Even the president and vice-president of the Herbalist Association are not qualified to be his apprentice! Can you imagine how high his herbalist skill must be? Furthermore, I've heard that he has refinated the Five-Element Leopard Pattern Breakthrough Pill, which can boost a martial artist at the Emperor Realm by one small realm. Do you know how many people would like to buy it but cannot get it."
Ding Yan shook her head upon hearing this, "That's not possible! No one told me about any of this? It was my cousin who mentioned he was the sworn brother of the Thousand Commander and wanted to arrange a match for us. At the time, I said I hadn't even seen him and didn't know what he looked like or what kind of person he was, and they wanted me to marry him. You people are not respecting me at all. My grandfather and father started cursing me like crazy. Where would I dare ask about anything else? How did you know all this?"
Tuo Ba Ying Ying giggled and said, "My father is close with the vice-president of the Alchemy Association, Jiang Bai. It was he who told my father. My father set a high reward to elevate our family's status, offering the greatest honor and reward to Tuo Ba family to anyone who could obtain the Five-Element Leopard Pattern Breakthrough Pill. But no one dared to take it on, so I volunteered. Of course, I've prepared for the worst-case scenario, which is failure. But there's also the best outcome – marrying him. If he becomes our family's son-in-law, giving his parents a Five-Element Leopard Pattern Breakthrough Pill as respect would be quite normal, wouldn't it? Besides, we're also giving up a beautiful woman in this deal. He's not at a loss! You must help me with this matter; otherwise, I can't complete my task. We have an agreement, and you must honor your promise! Otherwise, I'll refuse to leave your house!"
Ding Yan looked at Tuo Ba Ying Ying and said, "Tuo Ying, tell me, are you really telling the truth or a lie? If you really want to marry him, I'll go and help you. As for whether he is willing to marry you, that's none of my concern. You had better make the worst-case scenario plan!"
Tuo Ba Ying Ying nodded upon hearing this, "As long as you're willing to help, that's good enough. If you really put your heart into it, you'll definitely succeed. Of course, if you don't put your heart into it, the chances of success are certainly small. You can take care of it yourself!"
Ding Yan nodded upon hearing this, "I'll definitely put my heart into helping you with this matter. Whether it succeeds or not is up to fate!"
Tuo Ba Ying Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back now and wait for your good news."
Ding Yan nodded upon hearing this, "You can go back and wait for the news."
Mo Wenjie returned home just as he was about to prepare to concoct elixirs!
The butler suddenly entered and reported, "Master and Madam Tuo have come to see you!"
Mo Wenjie, upon hearing this, looked incredulously at the butler, "Are you sure it's the young mistress?"
The butler nodded, "She said she is the young mistress, her name is Ding Yan!"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this, "If it's Ding Yan, then she is the young mistress. Please let her in!"
The butler went out for a moment.
Ding Yan came into the living room.
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan and said, "Please sit down! Bring us some tea!"
Mei, holding the tea, walked in and said, "Please drink your tea, young mistress!"
Ding Yan nodded upon hearing this, "Set it down first. You all go out. I need to talk with our master for a while. When you're not allowed to come in, don't just barge in."
Everyone agreed and went out to wait!
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan and said, "What do you want to talk about with me? Are you feeling that our engagement was too sudden, and if you want to break off the engagement, it's also okay. I can agree to it. Being in a relationship with someone you don't like is indeed a burden for you. It's perfectly understandable that you've come to propose a breakup, and I won't make things difficult for you either. As long as you're willing, I won't bother you anymore. We can just go and explain everything to your elders!"
Ding Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, "I'm not here to ask for a breakup. I know it's a surprise for you, even though we haven't met once before. My cousin and her friends didn't give me a detailed introduction about you, so I misunderstood you. It's not my fault either, because my understanding of you isn't comprehensive enough. That's why I particularly disliked you and even wanted to wait until I calmed down to talk about the breakup. Now it seems that you're not affected at all, and the more I talk about breaking off our engagement, the more it feels like something is missing inside me!"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this, "Actually, I don't want to think too much about it either. I don't want to see you or your family lose freedom. Therefore, I decided to listen to your opinions. We haven't known each other for long and have had little contact, so we don't have a strong emotional foundation. Your decision to break up with me is very reasonable. I agree right away. After consulting with your parents, if they agree to the breakup, I will offer them a certain compensation. They should agree then!"
Ding Yan shook her head upon hearing this, "Mo Wenjie, I'm not here to ask for a breakup. I just want to talk with you about our marital affair. It should also be settled. Moreover, there is something even more important that I want to tell you today!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan upon hearing this, "I know you're not satisfied with me, but after some time has passed, we've become the most familiar strangers. So I think it's best to give you your freedom!"
Ding Yan was so angry that she trembled all over upon hearing this, "Mo Wenjie, is it because I didn't make myself clear enough, or is your hearing not good enough? I've already said that I'm not here to ask for a breakup. I'm discussing another matter with you. How can you not understand it? They say you're so excellent. I think they've been fooled by you! With such intelligence, they say you're so excellent. In my opinion, it's just a joke!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan upon hearing this, "I understand what you mean, Ding girl. Your behavior at the engagement banquet was all in my sight. You may have agreed with your mouth, but your expression showed otherwise. Do you really think I'm blind and can't see it?"
Ding Yan shook her head upon hearing this, "That was that night. This is now. I came today to discuss something with you!"
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Just say what it is!"
Ding Yan looked at Mo Wenjie and then lowered her head, "I want to discuss with you that you should also marry Tuo Yingying!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan upon hearing this, "What do you mean, Ding girl?"
Ding Yan gave him a cold look upon hearing this, "What do you mean? Is it hard to understand the literal meaning?"
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this, "I don't understand why you would say something like that."
Ding Yan looked at Mo Wenjie, sighed and shook her head, "There's no reason. It's just because when we made our agreement, we planned to serve a strong man together in the future. Since you've chosen me, you must take her along!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan helplessly and shook his head, "This is marriage, not a child's play, nor is it any kind of buy-one-get-one-free deal. What they agreed upon with me has nothing to do with me. Whether she wants to marry someone is her own business, and it has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Ding Yan gave him a cold look upon hearing this, "What are you acting so high and mighty for? Do you really think you're the only desirable option? If we didn't have an agreement, do you think Tuo Yingying would choose you? Your family isn't much better than our three families in Yundu City. Don't act like she can't find a suitable match. Just because there's only one weird tree left in the sky and earth doesn't mean it belongs to you!"
Mo Wenjie was amused by what Ding Yan said, "She still wants to hang herself from my 'twisted-neck' tree. She won't try another one? Or are there no trees left?"
Ding Yan looked at Mo Wenjie and got angry too, "Listen to me, things are settled like this. To dilly-dally is not the behavior of a man. In two days, I'll bring her here, and you two can meet and talk. She's also a beautiful woman; it's a steal for you!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan, "What do you mean? You're going to force someone?"
Ding Yan gave him a fierce glare upon hearing this, "What are you whining about? Isn't it normal for the master of the house to help you get a concubine? Do you have any complaints? If you have any complaints, keep them to yourself! If you don't have this power, who would want to be the mistress?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Yan and said, "What kind of logic is that? Can't you behave yourself?"
Ding Yan shook her head upon hearing this, "This is me exercising my rights. You either agree or disagree, and you have to do it. It's not a matter of negotiation; it's just informing you. I will help you with the dowry, and she will come with her when the wedding day comes! The matter has been made clear, and I will take my leave!"
She stood up and was about to leave without giving Mo Wenjie the chance to explain.
Mo Wenjie was thoroughly confused, "What kind of people are these? What's going on here? I really don't understand it!"
Qu Honghai suddenly led a group of people over here.
Mo Wenjie looked at Qu Honghai, "Big Brother Qu, what brings you here? Do you have any business?"
Qu Honghai nodded upon hearing this, "Brother Wenjie, that woman has still accused you. Li the guardsman is with her at the city lord's mansion waiting for you. I was ordered to bring you there to confront her!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qu Honghai and said, "Alright, Big Brother Qu, let's go!"
Mo Wenjie was led by Qu Honghai to the great hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Feifei pointed at Mo Wenjie, "He is the murderer who killed Master Zhang!"
