Chapter 169 Marriage
Since I received that letter three months ago, there has been no new news from the letters that used to arrive as promised.
This made the girl feel a little worried.
She would silently look forward to receiving greetings from afar every day, but her wish never came true.
Now receiving another letter, the girl felt even more heavy-hearted. She took the letter and gently stroked the envelope.
With a heavy heart, she gently opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and began to read.
As she read further, her brows gradually furrowed and her expression became more and more serious.
Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.
She bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress the pain in her heart.
Finally, she took a deep breath, slowly put down the letter, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
This letter was not written by Ye Qin.
The words in the letter were like sharp swords, piercing her heart and hurting her deeply.
The Ye family is a family of loyal heroes. Generations of them have fought on the battlefield to defend their country.
They stepped onto the battlefield with a pure heart, but were framed and slandered as traitors.
During the last three months of the war, General Ye did not reveal any secrets even when he was captured by the enemy.
He suffered cruel punishment, being stabbed 136 times, and was eventually executed by the enemy army through slow slicing.
Rumors are spreading and the dead cannot rest in peace.
In order to find evidence, Major General Ye led only a hundred Ye family confidants into the enemy camp.
In the fierce battle, Major General Ye was seriously injured, but he used his flesh and blood to bring back the body of General Ye and found evidence to prove General Ye's innocence.
However, the young man fell into a coma after returning from the enemy camp and his life or death was unknown.
The girl held the letter tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She clenched her teeth and tried hard not to cry out loud.
"No, this is impossible..." The girl murmured to herself, "How could he..."
Her eyes were filled with endless despair, as if she had lost the most precious thing in her life.
However, reality is so cruel and ruthless that no matter how she struggles, she cannot change this fact.
Every word in that letter was like a sharp dagger, deeply hurting her heart.
What made her feel even more absurd was that the battle was won.
Ye Qin did not wake up, and all his efforts and what he tried desperately to prove were in vain.
Even the evidence proving General Ye's innocence could not be made public because he was in a coma.
But because of this victory, the rumors that the Ye family was collaborating with the enemy have now been refuted and disappeared with the end of the war.
The people seemed to have forgotten what had happened before and began to praise the Ye family's achievements.
Their great achievements were praised by people, while the suffering suffered by the Ye family became insignificant.
All the pain the boy experienced and the truth he tried to prove now seems like a ridiculous farce.
Thinking of this, the girl clenched her fists slightly.
The girl looked at Cui Ning calmly and said softly, "Go and help me find out what's going on outside."
Cui Ning nodded and turned to leave.
…………
The scene changed, and in less than a day, Cui Ning brought back the information she had obtained.
The girl sat quietly on the chair, her face calm as water, but her eyes were always staring ahead, as if she was thinking about something.
When Cui Ning finished her report, the girl's face suddenly became solemn, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent.
Cui Ning stood silently by, watching the girl's changes, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
She knew that this seemingly strong young lady was actually very sensitive deep down.
At this moment, she saw that familiar expression again, an expression of despair and helplessness, but also of determination, which made people feel distressed.
Cui Ning had seen this expression before, in the distant past, when they were still at Yuchi's house.
Now seeing them again, Cui Ning couldn't help but sigh, are we going back to the past?
She sighed softly, knowing that no matter what happened, the young lady would face it with strength.
However, the girl's heart was not as calm as it appeared.
She remembered a saying: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked; when the high birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the enemy country is defeated, the counselors die."
This statement is true in any era.
Now, General Ye is dead and Major General Ye is in a coma, and it is unknown when he will wake up.
The Ye family lost its pillar and fell from the peak to the bottom. In just three months, they went from being the focus of attention to being forgotten.
No, not just forgotten.
The once huge family business has now become the target of everyone's attack.
Some people are inherently jealous, some are fence-sitters with no stance, and some simply enjoy taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
Some people believe that even if the Ye family’s actions did not constitute treason, they still disrupted the morale of the army.
Some people also feel that if it weren’t for the Ye family, the war in the last three months would never have been won so hard.
For a while, the military decision-making errors in the past three months, as well as the subsequent problems with occupation, supplies, cities and civilians, seemed to be blamed on the Ye family.
Most of the people who say these things have never been on the battlefield.
Three months of spreading rumors is equivalent to three years of hard work.
Fortunately, the battle was ultimately won, otherwise, these people would probably have chopped Ye Qin, who was still in a coma, into pieces.
The girl remained silent, listening quietly to Cui Ning imitating these discussions.
After a long time, she sighed softly, and then instructed Cui Ning beside her: "Cui Ning, go and make arrangements. Ye Qin and General Ye will be back tomorrow. Have a banquet and get married."
When Cui Ning heard the girl's decision, she was stunned at first, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
She originally wanted to speak and persuade him, but hesitated for a moment and finally chose to remain silent.
She knew how important Major General Ye was to the young lady. Cui Ning was smart and understood the young girl's thoughts. Perhaps that was why she always stayed with the young lady.
After hearing what the young lady said, Cui Ning hesitated for a moment and then nodded, her eyes becoming firm.
She was well aware of the current situation of the Ye family and her responsibilities were heavy. She could not let the young lady down.
After hesitation, there was no hesitation. She responded without hesitation: "Yes, Miss."
Then she leaned over and retreated quickly, obviously having made full mental preparations.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we can't delay at all.
Cui Ning must complete all preparations as soon as possible to ensure that the wedding goes smoothly.
She left in a hurry, leaving the girl in the room.
The girl stood up and paced slightly, walked to the dressing table, picked up an exquisite box, opened the box, and found a silk fan.
The fan is red, with a peach tree embroidered on it, with peach blossoms flying all over the place, and the human face and the peach blossoms complement each other in red.
The girl gently stroked the silk fan. There was a note written underneath the fan, but the handwriting was not very beautiful.
"When I return, I hope you will welcome me with a fan."
Of course the girl understood that this was the boy's invitation to a gift of a fan.
The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered softly, "You once protected me, now it's my turn."
…………
The scenes changed very quickly. Neither Shu Wanwan nor Dai Yan spoke, and the atmosphere seemed extremely heavy.
At this moment, the picture suddenly froze, as if time had frozen at this moment.
The sunlight fell on the majestic Ye family mansion, covering the entire mansion with a layer of golden glow.
The mansion was filled with a quiet and festive atmosphere, which seemed inexplicably strange.
The door of the Ye family was open, and the red carpet extended from the door to the depths of the mansion, like a road leading to happiness.
On both sides of the carpet stood two rows of maids and servants dressed in gorgeous costumes. They held flower baskets in their hands and had smiles on their faces, no matter whether they were sincere or forced.
Walking into the hall of the Ye family mansion, you can see that the interior is decorated in an exceptionally bright and eye-catching manner.
Huge red satins, embroidered with exquisite patterns, covered the walls. Every detail showed the Ye family's attention and care for this wedding.
These wedding utensils were carefully prepared by Ye Qin before he went out. He hid them in the Lin family's warehouse and originally planned to give them to Dai Yan after he came back.
The girl pretended to be unaware and took out these things. She thought to herself, "Maybe this is what Ye Qin wants to see."
