December 14th.
The news of the annulnt of the marriage agreent between Shen Han and Su Jinyu finally spread.
This result was within everyone’s expectations.
The Imperial Family had set the wedding date for December 15th, just one day away.
Yet whether it was the Shen Family or the Su Family.
Neither of their mansions had made any preparations at all.
Marriage is supposed to be a great joy in life, a celebration for the whole family.
Yet both aristocratic families were cold and cheerless, not even bothering to hang a red lantern.
Anyone with a little discernnt could see that this marriage agreent was definitely going to fall through.
Su Jinyu of the Su Family, the one she adored was Shen Ye, the prodigy of the Shen Family.
How could she possibly condescend to marry Shen Han, an unloved junior in the Shen Family?
Even though Shen Han showcased so potential at the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, compared to Shen Ye, it was a world apart.
It’s just that this annulnt ca a little too late.
The news of the annulnt finally spread one day before the intended date.
Rain Listening Pavilion.
Outside the courtyard, the maid Qingcao hurriedly ran towards Su Jinyu.
"Miss, Miss, the Su Mansion has just received a letter from the Imperial Family. The marriage agreent with Shen Han has finally been annulled."
Qingcao seed a bit anxious, half running, breathing heavily.
At that mont, Su Jinyu was sitting by the railing.
Upon hearing the news, she rely nodded slightly.
"Perseverance paid off, Miss, you’ve finally rid yourself of him.
From now on, Miss can be with Young Master Ye, you two are truly a perfect match, a heaven-made couple~"
Qingcao had an expression of relief, feeling happy for her own lady.
Upon hearing her maid’s words, Su Jinyu also felt a bit sentintal:
"This farce has finally ended.
But unfortunately, our Su Family ceded quite a lot of benefits..."
The cold winter in the Capital City made the courtyard look particularly desolate.
Seeing such a scene when one’s spirits are low made one feel even more sorrowful.
Seeing this, Qingcao quickly interjected:
"Miss, don’t bla yourself anymore, hasn’t the family co to inform you? The Shen Family will also give so compensation to the Su Family.
Moreover, when Miss and Young Master Ye unite in the future, the two families will be even closer than now, and the benefits the Su Family loses today will be regained."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu only slightly furrowed her brows and did not say much.
Having followed Su Jinyu for many years, Qingcao naturally understood as well.
Not wanting to dwell on this matter, she quickly changed the subject.
"Miss, when I was out just now, I also heard so news.
It is said that the Yun Family in Yang City is protecting Shen Han, even at the cost of opposing the Shen Family, and it seems the Shen Family will no longer purchase Pill from the Yun Family."
This piece of news was sothing Su Jinyu had already heard of.
Why the Shen Family ultimately could do nothing, why this annulnt matter was left hanging.
The main reason was that the Yun Family was determined to protect Shen Han.
The Yun Family is located in Anyang, where the Shen Family has no real influence.
Moreover, the Imperial Court would not support the Shen Family in taking action against Shen Han.
With various factors in play, even with no reservations and a desire to make a move against Shen Han, it wasn’t so easy.
However, in this matter, the Yun Family had thoroughly angered the Shen Family.
"Patriarch Yun must truly be senile, the Yun Family’s expertise in Alchemy Dao is diocre at best, rely relying on a large volu of low-grade Pills to earn profits.
Perhaps they’ve lived in comfort for too long, the Yun Family has forgotten where their foundation lies.
Without the Shen Family, their low-grade Pills won’t be so easy to sell.
Thus, they’re essentially burying the entire future of the Yun Family.
Such an unseasoned aristocratic family, it’s only a matter of ti before history erases them."
Su Jinyu leaned against the railing, her eyes gazing at a withered grass.
In her words, she had already pronounced a judgent on the Yun Family.
Qingcao wholeheartedly agreed with her lady’s words.
Having been by Su Jinyu’s side for many years, her lady’s judgnts were rarely wrong.
The rise and fall of the court were also clearly visible to her.
The future of the Yun Family, in Qingcao’s view, would undoubtedly unfold as her lady predicted.
"Could it be that the Yun Family sees Shen Han’s talent, thinking he can lead them to prosperity like Young Master Ye in the future?"
Su Jinyu, who had been frowning all along, couldn’t help but let out a light laugh upon hearing this.
"Wishful thinking.
Reaching the eightieth level of the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering only indicates that his talent and potential are indeed better than rumored.
He does have so cunningness, having hidden his abilities for many years in the Shen Mansion.
But no matter how he hides, he can’t possibly catch up with Brother Ye.
Brother Ye is a master of both literature and martial arts, aside from Sword Dao, I dare not compare myself with Brother Ye, who excels vastly in other aspects."
Leading the Yun Family to prosperity?
More like leading the Yun Family to downfall.
Saying this, Su Jinyu seed not particularly interested in discussing further.
"Qingcao, did Master ntion when she would return?"
"The Moon Bamboo Peak Master sent back the annulnt letter last night and seed to have made another trip to Anyang.
It seems obtaining this annulnt letter wasn’t easy, the Yun Family made several unreasonable demands before Shen Han wrote this annulnt letter.
This trip, she seems to be fulfilling the agreed-upon promises..."
Hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed across Su Jinyu’s face: "It’s all because this unworthy disciple has troubled the Master..."
"The Moon Bamboo Peak Master should be visiting the Rain Listening Pavilion later, there Miss should truly express gratitude."
Su Jinyu nodded, pondering how to show her sincerity.
She invited Qingcao to teach her to cook a few dishes to express her intention.
Despite the darkening sky, at 7:00 PM, Shi Yuezhu finally arrived at the Rain Listening Pavilion.
This trip to Anyang had left Shi Yuezhu feeling disturbed.
In truth, Shi Yuezhu was quite satisfied with Su Jinyu.
This disciple of hers had an exceptional talent for Sword Dao and was respectful towards her.
However, there was a significant conflict between her and Shen Han...
To the extent that because of the annulnt, there was almost a sense of enmity.
Moreover, the Shen Family’s current attitude towards Shen Han likely already regarded him as an outsider, even an enemy.
Su Jinyu’s heart was inclined towards Shen Ye, given this relationship, it was natural for her to harbor more resentnt towards Shen Han.
But I, no matter what, should protect Shen Han...
Aside from anything else, he once saved .
In that dense forest, if it weren’t for Shen Han’s rescue, I would have perished long ago.
Hesitating for a mont, Shi Yuezhu still stepped into the Rain Listening Pavilion.
Not knowing if she could make her understand, at least try, to see if this conflict could be eased sowhat.
As she stepped into the Rain Listening Pavilion, Su Jinyu imdiately ca to greet her.
"Master, you’re finally back. I’ve tried cooking a few dishes; please try them."
She led Shi Yuezhu to the wooden table where the dishes, though simple, looked quite presentable.
"It’s all my fault, causing trouble...
If it weren’t for , Master wouldn’t need to waste ti on those repulsive people."
Speaking bluntly upon opening her mouth.
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu unconsciously put down the dish she was holding.
"As your Master, I think Shen Han... is actually quite good, not as you and others say..."
