Chapter 14: Going Up the Mountain as a Monk

  "Then what? You've already promised her?"

  "It's all trivial matters anyway. Agreeing once can calm things down for a few days." He didn't take it seriously.

  "No wonder it's a vicious cycle, endless." Ye Yun sighed, "Let's go."

  Ling Feng pulled Ye Yun directly into the hall, without even looking at his aunt, and first carefully settled Ye Yun before sitting down himself. He smiled and asked: "Aunt, what's going on today?"

  Wang's mouth slanted, and she let out a cold snort. "Hmph! Ling Zhuangzhu, you're really putting on airs now! Is it because you've got status that you don't even consider your aunt worthy of consideration? Have you forgotten how things were in the beginning..."

  "Wait, how dare you? Haven't the servants told you I just got back from outside? I rushed over to see you as soon as I returned. Are they not doing their job properly? Please go ahead and speak, I'll punish them."

  Ling Feng's voice was flat and it was clear that he was distracted. He spoke nicely but actually didn't mean what he said.

  Lianye Yundu had already figured it out, and Wangshi couldn't have not figured it out either.

  "Hmph! Every time something big happens, you're out and about! Do you know how many things you've delayed with your careless wandering?" Wang's face was full of disdain, the corner of her mouth twitching, her eyes fixed on Ling Feng at an angle, not even willing to look him straight in the eye.

  It's naturally impossible to see Ye Yun now.

  Always looking for Ling Feng to open his mouth, Ye Yun secretly rejoiced. Such a troublesome woman, she could hide as far as she wanted.

  "What's this 'big' deal again?" Ling Feng's eyes were icy cold, clearly impatient.

  "This is a big deal for you. I've found a good match for you, and it's all thanks to me that you can get such a great girl, otherwise, you'd have to become a monk in the mountains." Auntie smiled with disdain, as if she was Ling Feng's benefactor reincarnated.

  That expression made Ye Yun unable to help but want to laugh.

  How cruel! If you don't marry the person she recommends, you'll have to go to the mountains and become a monk.

  Ye Yun sympathetically glanced at Ling Feng.

  Only to see Ling Feng smiling gently, suddenly turning his head to look at her, with tenderness in his eyes.

  Ye Yun's heart sounded a loud alarm. He's done for! Based on past experience, whenever he smiled like that, nothing good would come of it!

  "In this regard, Auntie doesn't have to worry anymore. I already have a fiancé and will be getting married soon."

  Aunt's face changed, her voice suddenly became sharp: "With whom?!"

  "She has been by my side all along, Auntie. She is Ye Yun, my wife who hasn't crossed the threshold yet. Yun'er, come and pay respects to Auntie." Ling Feng smiled and pulled up Ye Yun's small hand.

  Want to take it easy on one side? Also have to ask if he agrees or not.

  What's wrong with you? Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and her whole body was covered in goosebumps. Fortunately, his face didn't turn red or gasp for air.

  Not yet in tune, Auntie has already started setting off firecrackers.

  "Where did this wild girl come from, so rude? Didn't her mother teach her to greet her elders when she sees them? She comes in and doesn't even say hello. Is she really your wife-to-be? What kind of family is she from? What's her background? You're the master of Lingmu Manor, don't bring some suspicious person back." Auntie took one look at Ye Yun sitting there demurely, with a pair of innocent big eyes, and knew right away that she was easy to bully. She quickly continued to add fuel to the fire: "Qianqian is the daughter of Official Wang, her family has plenty of money. She's beautiful, a talented young lady from a good family, absolutely suitable for you. I've already arranged for you two to meet at Drunken Moon Building tonight. You can't not go!"

  Ye Yun smiled sweetly and raised an eyebrow at Ling Feng.

  It was he who dragged her into this, so it's not her fault.

  "Wind, you have me, and yet you want to marry another into the house?" Want to throw the yam head at her? Don't think of being an outsider.

  "How could it be? With you by my side, how could any other woman possibly catch my eye?" Ling Feng raised Ye Yun's hand and planted a kiss on the back of it.

  Ye Yun suppressed the urge to withdraw her hand, her eyes filled with murderous intent, "I suppose you don't dare!"

  How hateful! Even if he looks good, he can't take advantage of it and eat tofu with others' oil.

  Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.

  Ye Yun turned her head and glared at her aunt with a fierce gaze.

  "Sorry, grandma."

  "Ah, Ah Po?" Auntie's mouth twitched slightly, just about to scold, when she saw Ye Yun glare at her, the obedient girl's appearance completely disappeared, as if it was all her own illusion.

  "My mother said that if you want to get respect from others, you must first respect others. I came in with Ling Feng, and you didn't see it because of your old age, but I don't mind making excuses for you. You scolded my fiancé, and I didn't drive you away, just to give you face. Just now, you heard him say that I am his wife who has not yet passed the door, and you still want to take him to see some Qianqian, basically not putting me in your eyes at all. Sorry, for those who do not respect me, I have always adopted the same attitude in return."

  "You, you..." No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before. Aunt Wang's face turned red with rage, her mouth twitching as she pointed at Ye Yun's nose and scolded, "You stinky girl, what do you think your status is? How dare you speak to me like this! Do you know who I am? You actually dare to speak to me like that!"

  Ye Yun straightened her back and smiled sweetly, "I really don't know who you are? I'm also not interested in knowing."

  "Auntie was so angry that she couldn't speak, her outstretched hand trembling non-stop, apparently furious."

  Suddenly, Ye Yun's expression changed, she stood up, put her hands on her hips, and slammed one hand on the table, shouting: "How dare you try to steal a man from me! Don't you know who I, Ye Yun, am? I'll count to three, you'd better get out of here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

  "You, you dare to do what to me?!" Auntie puffed out her chest, she didn't believe Ling Feng would dare let Ye Yun treat her like this. "Ling Feng, do you dare to drive me out?"

  Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I only have this one daughter, if she gets angry and refuses to marry me, wouldn't I have to go up the mountain to become a monk?"

  He was very appreciative of her various actions at this moment.

  The king was turned against by his own army, and Wang's family was so angry that they couldn't speak.

  "Ah!" Ye Yun glared at Wang Shi, counting off one word at a time, "Two!"

  Wang was anxious in her heart, but with so many people watching, how could she possibly be driven away in such a sorry state?

  No matter what, she had to win this argument; otherwise, who else in Lingmu Manor would take her seriously?
