Chapter 1025: Breaking Off the Engagement

"The daughter of the Gu family has the legacy of a noble family, has a stunning appearance, and a modest figure! She is a perfect match for you, young master!" There were many people who praised her, but most of them were vulgar and boring. This statement was refreshing to Wu Yi, but the voices were noisy, and for a moment, he didn't know who said it.

Not long after, Gu Qingyue was invited into the tent. It seemed that she had dressed up well, wearing a slim-fitting plain dress, to pay tribute to her father and brother. She was no longer weak, but radiant, heroic, confident and generous.

As the saying goes, a girl should be pretty, and she should be dressed in mourning. As soon as Gu Qingyue appeared in mourning clothes, she attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Many hot eyes were cast, but these people knew the importance of it, and did not behave rudely. Instead, they praised Marshal Zhang Tianwen for finding a good daughter-in-law.

Wu Yi naturally followed the crowd and congratulated without mentioning it. His voice was drowned in the noisy voices. Wu Yi had no intention of going deeper into this matter, so he naturally would not take the initiative to show anything.

However, there are some things that Wu Yi cannot avoid just because he wants to. What Wu Yi never expected was that he was tricked by Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhang Tianwen respectfully. Just when everyone thought she had agreed to this matter, after all, these three kowtows are the etiquette when meeting parents-in-law?

However, what everyone did not expect was that Gu Qingyue would say such a sentence, "Marshal, my family has suffered a misfortune, my father and brother are dead, and I have sworn in front of my father and brother's spirits that I will not talk about marriage until the northern barbarians are eliminated. General Chen is here to testify to this!"

"This, this, this--" Gu Qingyue's words cooled down the jubilant scene in an instant. Many people were speechless and could not believe their ears.

Is this woman crazy? Didn't anyone remind her before coming here? Even if she wanted to refuse the marriage, she could find a reason later, such as being sick or having incompatible horoscopes, so why did she have to embarrass Marshal Zhang Tianwen in public?

"I am not worthy of the Marshal, and I dare not hinder his future!" Once this was said, she basically wanted to refuse the marriage on her own.

Soon someone stood up to accuse Gu Qingyue, and the point of entry was very clever.

"You are so ignorant, girl. You are the last blood of your Gu family. Since you want to be filial, you should get married as soon as possible and pass on the bloodline. Saying that you will not talk about marriage until the Northern Tartars are eliminated is the greatest insult to your father and brother!"

Gu Qingyue turned around and looked at the man, and said bluntly: "Do you want me to get married in front of my father and brother's spirits?"

When the man was asked this question, he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't dare to say that it was right. According to the etiquette, children mourn for three years after the death of their parents. In the Daji Dynasty, which attaches great importance to filial piety, it is like a law.

Although this rule is not so strict recently, getting married in front of the spirits of fathers and brothers is a bit too much. Even if it is said to be a good omen and to revive the family, it is not acceptable.

Zhang Tianwen's face is not good, which is natural. Gu Qingyue is a junior. In public, it can be said to be a great humiliation to not give him face.

Not to mention that Zhang Tianwen is a marshal of an army, even if he is an ordinary head of a family, he will be dissatisfied if he is targeted by a junior.

Gu Qingyue is in the name of filial piety, so it is difficult to do it. I don't know why Zhang Tianwen is so anxious and leaves such a flaw. He has his own reasons for not being able to get off the stage at this moment.

If Gu Qingyue can't be touched, Wu Yi will be used as a knife. When Gu Qingyue said that she made a wish before, Wu Yi was on the side and was a witness. If Wu Yi denied Gu Qingyue, Gu Qingyue's reputation would be completely stinky, and it would be impossible for her to get married in the future.

Zhang Tianwen turned to look at Wu Yi and said, "General Chen, is what she said true?" His voice was flat, but he had been in a high position for a long time, and he was under pressure. Wu Yi couldn't use his magic power next to Zhang Tianwen.

From a certain perspective, within the jurisdiction of the Northern Army, Zhang Tianwen was the embodiment of order. Wu Yi knew what Zhang Tianwen meant. At this moment, people from all directions also looked over, waiting for Wu Yi to say something, so as to completely discredit Gu Qingyue, like a hungry wolf that wanted to devour people.

At this moment, the only one who didn't look at Wu Yi was Gu Qingyue, perhaps because she knew she was guilty! Without saying hello to Wu Yi, she dragged Wu Yi into the water.

She was prepared for the worst, standing straight, like a graceful lotus, emerging from the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being evil, moving.

Wu Yi sighed in his heart, this woman really gave him a difficult problem!

"Reporting to the Marshal, I didn't expect Miss Gu to make such a resolution in her heart!"

In the heart, that means not speaking directly. Wu Yi did not stand on any side and chose to be neutral, but at this time, neutrality is wrong.

"What is said in the heart is not heard by the four ears. Who knows what is said! Tianlang City was broken, and no one knows what has been experienced!" Before the banquet was over, some people whispered in private, and the slander of Gu Qingyue had already begun. What else could be more severe and mean than attacking a woman's innocence?

Although, after the fall of Tianlang City, Gu Qingyue did experience many things that lost her innocence in the eyes of secular ethics, but it was not voluntary. A group of men said these things, which shows their low character.

"Oh!" Zhang Tianwen nodded slightly after hearing Wu Yi's words, then stood up and said to everyone: "I drank too much today and I'm a little drunk. You guys keep drinking! I'm leaving first!"

The main person has left, and the remaining people can't really continue drinking. After Zhang Tianwen left, they also left one after another. Before leaving, they looked at Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue with sarcasm and sneers. There are such stupid people in this world who don't even know this little worldly thing.

Gu Qingyue stood in place, silently enduring everyone's gaze, stubbornly unlike her character at this age. Suffering can really shape a person.

However, this is what she should bear. Wu Yi sympathized with her, but when he walked around her, he just shook his head. They are all adults. Since they have made a choice, they should pay the price for their choice.

She didn't want to be the daughter-in-law of a marshal, but had to refuse. Compared with the identity of a daughter of a marshal, the title of a daughter-in-law of a marshal is obviously more important.

Wu Yi didn't want to comment on the other party's motives, nor did he want to judge who was right or wrong. In short, the most important thing for him at the moment was to keep a distance from this woman to prevent Zhang Tianwen from getting angry at him. If he did that, he would be unable to express his pain in silence.
