Chapter 19: Can It Really Be Done?

  "Wind, listen to me! Everyone's eyes are on you! You're bringing this wild girl, without any rules or boundaries, and you even say she's your wife who hasn't entered the door yet? The future mistress of Lingmu Mountain Villa? It's really embarrassing for us if it gets out!" Madam Yu looked like she was in pain, with a expression of regret and disappointment, truly portraying a kind and considerate grandmother who cared about her grandson.

  "That's right! Old Madam said it well. A wild girl like this is not worthy of our Young Master Ling at all. No status, no money. Later on, she won't even get any dowry, let alone have to pay out of her own pocket. What a loss! The most suitable candidate must already be in Old Madam's mind, right? Definitely some rich family's daughter, with good character, virtuous and most importantly, wealthy! Of course, also worthy of our Young Master Ling's status! You think so too?"

  As soon as the words came out, Yu's heart was filled with joy and she immediately responded: "Of course! This girl looks poor from head to toe, you can tell at a glance that she's here to swindle money! I've long since set my sights on He Daren's daughter. He Daren is a well-known wealthy family in our city, it's said that their house has so much silver that they've dug up the ground to fill it with silver coins. He only has one daughter, if we marry her, all that silver will be ours."

  Yu was just speaking with relish when he suddenly felt something was off.

  Huh? How did we end up talking about money? Weren't they discussing a matter of face?

  The woman looked up and glanced at the women on both sides, all of whom shook their heads with a difficult expression.

  What they said before was not true.

  "Oh——" Just then, Ye Yun on the opposite side let out a long sigh, with a cunning glint in her eyes. "So the old lady just wants to sell us, the Ling family's masters, for silver?"

  That's right! The person who just said that big chunk of nonsense is Ye Yun.

  At a glance, this Yu family is not the kind of people who care about their grandson's happiness, and it turns out they are just after money.

  Also talking about face or no face, find a group of people to provoke her.

  "What are you talking about?!" Yu Shi was furious and slapped the table again, covering up her own guilt. "You're an unscrupulous little wretch! I'm thinking of Feng Er, specially selecting a daughter-in-law for him after careful consideration. He Yuanwai's daughter is a gentle, elegant, and intelligent beauty!"

  "The most important thing is that she has money." Ye Yun said the key point.

  "…You!" Yu's face turned green with rage, she couldn't believe that this little girl dared to talk back to her, usually even Ling Feng didn't dare to talk back to her.

  That's right! She has her eye on He Yuanwai's money, and of course, she can't let Ling Feng know about it.

  But she just happened to have misspoken herself!

  This wicked girl, it's all her fault for ruining her own good fortune.

  "You cheap thing! Don't think you can enter our Ling family's door like this. I won't acknowledge you!"

  Ye Yun shrugged and said: "It doesn't matter! Is it important whether you admit it or not?"

  Yu didn't expect Ye Yun to speak like this and was so angry that she didn't know how to respond.

  Ye Yun's gaze swept over the four women beside Yu Shi, her voice cold and sharp: "Is it up to you to decide whether I'm qualified to be with Ling Feng? Who are you people? What status do you have to judge me?"

  Four women's faces changed color, and they were so intimidated by Ye Yun's aura that they didn't dare speak.

  "You say I'm not dignified? Do you know who I am? Do you know my status? You say I don't have money? Ling Feng having money is enough. What do I need more money for? Isn't it a man's job to make money? Is your family's man useless and can't make money, so you have to come out and earn money? How tiring! Next life, find a good man to marry.

  And you! Whether or not I'm well-bred doesn't need you to say, my man doesn't even mind, what do you have to be disdainful about? I freely chose my love, finding the man I like, what's wrong with that? First, I didn't take anything by force, second, I didn't steal. We two are mutually in love, why care about how others look at us? In the future, it's just going to be the two of us living together, and has nothing to do with you all, or anyone else in the world!"

  Ye Yun finished speaking, felt a bit parched, glanced at the table, not even a cup of tea was there, frowned, "Alright. Too lazy to waste words on you all anymore! Feng, let's go."

  Ye Yun grabbed Ling Feng's hand and lifted her head to look at him, just in time to meet his exceptionally bright eyes.

  Huh? Ye Yun's scalp felt a chill. What was this gaze? What situation?

  "Alright! Let's go!" Ling Feng wrapped his arm around Ye Yun's waist and led her out, turning back to smile smugly and raise an eyebrow, "Grandma, just eat whatever you want, I'll take care of the bill."

  "Ah," just one step away, Ye Yun suddenly remembered something, turned her head back, and smiled brightly at Yu Shi's green face. "You might as well go ask around. This afternoon, how was Ling Feng's aunt driven out of the Ling Mu Manor by me? Daring to compete with me for a man, first weigh your own weight."

  After finishing speaking, Ye Yun didn't even bother to see their reactions and directly pushed the door to leave.

  The four guards were waiting at the door, and when they saw Ye Yun come out, each of their eyes shone with a worshipful gaze.

  Ye Yun was looked at by them with a heart that made her hair stand on end.

  What's going on? Is everyone okay?

  Didn't eat a mouthful of rice, didn't drink a mouthful of tea, and left Huamanlou.

  Ye Yun's mood was depressed and she was extremely thirsty. As soon as she got on the carriage, she found the small teapot on the horse-drawn vehicle and didn't even bother to find a tea cup, directly drinking from the spout.

  Ling Feng watched her drink heavily and couldn't help but smile lightly.

  She knew she was too focused mentally and had just said a lot of words, so she felt thirsty.

  After she finished drinking, he took over the teapot in her hand and also started drinking from the spout of the teapot.

  Yè Yún said, "Hey! I just drank from it, can't you even wipe it clean?"

  There's no need to say it! Ye Yun didn't want to say this sentence.

  "What's the big deal?" Ling Feng smiled, "We're husband and wife after all. This is what they call 'sharing weal and woe'!"

  Are you kidding me? Spit it out! Ye Yun's mind completely went astray, her face turned red, this guy actually told her a dirty joke!

  "Hey, humph! Too lazy to bother with you! By the way, you said today was for a banquet, but I didn't get to eat anything. Now my stomach is growling, you have to take responsibility and solve this, right?"

  "Of course! I'll take you to a great place!" Ling Feng opened his fan and fanned himself occasionally.

  A gentle breeze was blowing on Yexun's body, bringing a bit of comfortable coolness.

  Ye Yun closed her eyes in enjoyment.

  Ling Feng looked at Ye Yun's expression, and his lips curled up slightly.

  Recalling what Ye Yun had just said in her mind.

  "We two are in love, what business is it of others? The ones who will spend the rest of their lives together are us two, and have nothing to do with you or anyone else in this world!"

  This sentence shook his heart deeply.

  How many people in this world can say it and do it? Rumors, door-to-door gossip, how many loving couples can be torn apart?

  Ye Yun, can you really do this?

  Ling Feng looked at Ye Yun's good face and felt a thread of doubt in his heart, as if there was also a strange heartbeat.
