Marriage Contract

Wen Ziruo's words made Old man Wen and others to fall in thought. The more they thought, the more they felt what Wen Ziruo said made sense.

Wu Tong was the first to react, she hugged Wen Ziruo and spoke firmly to Old man Wen, "Father, I think Ruo Ruo is right. If the Shi family knows Ruo Ruo's identity, they will be angry. We can't bear that person's anger. Father, let Fei Yunyue fulfill this marriage contract."

Wen Hongqi and Wen Zihao didn't object to it, they don't mind if it is Fei Yunyue. If Fei Yunyue could marry in the place of Wen Ziruo they won't have any problem.

Old man Wen also thought about and spoke, "What if she doesn't agree?"

Wu Tong spoke in a loud voice, "Why doesn't she agree? She is fortunate enough to marry into the Shi family. How can she have complaints?"

In Wu Tong's point of view, Fei Yunyue should be thankful that they allow her to marry into the first family of the Imperial Capital.

If it weren't for them, she would have to marry some village person, and she couldn't even enter the Imperial Capital in her lifetime.

Wen Hongbei coldly looked at them and didn't speak anything. Even if he says anything now they won't understand him, and instead they would blame him.

When they came downstairs, Wen Ziruo glanced at Fei Yunyue with a gaze full of pity and mockery. She was glad that she didn't make any changes in the plot and let Fei Yunyue enter the Wen family.

If it weren't for her, she would have to fulfill this marriage contract with Shi Yu Jue. This incident once again strengthened her belief in being the main character.

In her view, only protogonists can cross the obstacles that came in their way, and some cannon fodders are needed to sacrifice. Now to escape from Shi Yu Jue, she has a cannon fodder named 'Fei Yunyue.'

Fei Yunyue perceived Wen Ziruo's gaze landed on her, and saw that she is looking at with pity.

Fei Yunyue narrowed her eyes, noticed other people's expressions and found their faces solemn. It seems they have planned something.

Just as she thought Wu Tong spoke, "There is a marriage contract between the eldest granddaughter of our Wen family and the eldest grandson of the Shi family. Fei Yunyue, as the eldest granddaughter of this family, you will marry into the Shi family. So you should learn etiquette and conduct yourself so as not to lose face of our Wen family."

Fei Yunyue lifted her eyebrows, so this is the case. They want to throw this marriage contract on her head.

Before she could speak, Wen Zining spoke in her place, "Aunt, how can you let cousin marry into Shi family? Don't you know…"

Wu Tong interrupted her and said coldly, "Wen Zining, there is no place for you to speak here. This is the matter of our family. Moreover your grandfather also agreed, as a junior how can you raise objections to our decisions?"

Ling Hui pulled Wen Zining and shook her head.

Wu Tong glanced at Fei Yunyue and spoke again without any guilt in her tone, "Yunyue, I am for your good. Shi family is the top family in Imperial Capital. Their status is much higher than that of our Wen family. You haven't lived in our family for many years, consider this as compensation for all the years you have spent outside. Shi family is very prosperous. You will have a good time there."

Fei Yunyue listened to Wu Tong's explanation and she blinked her eyes innocently and asked, "Is the Shi family more rich and powerful than the Wen family?"

When rest of them heard her words, their eyes looking at her became contemptuous. Sure enough, what can you expect from a village girl! As long as she sees money, she can go to that place.

Wen Ziruo smiled amicably and said, "Yes, sister. Shi family is the richest family in our country."

Fei Yunyue kept playing with the beads on her bracelet and said to Wen Ziruo, "Oh, since it is a good family I will let you marry into it."

Wen Ziruo choked on her words. She didn't expect Fei Yunyue to say those words.

Wu Tong's face sank and the smile couldn't be maintained on her face. Her tone was harsh, "Fei Yunyue, this marriage contract is between you and Shi Yu Jue. Don't pull Ruo Ruo into it."

Fei Yunyue raised her head, and looked at Wu Tong's eyes and asked her innocently, "Didn't you say that marriage contract is for the eldest granddaughter of the Wen family. The entire Haicheng knows that the eldest granddaughter of the Wen family is Wen Ziruo. It is not me, so what do I have to do with this marriage contract?"

Wu Tong was stunned listening to her words. Before she could respond, she heard Fei Yunyue speak again.

"Or else, are you going to announce my identity and let me be the eldest granddaughter of Wen family?"

Wu Tong subconsciously looked at Wen Ziruo. If they announce Fei Yunyue's identity, Wen Ziruo could only be the Wen family's adopted daughter.

Wen Ziruo also knows this, she couldn't let the Wen family accept Fei Yunyue as the eldest daughter. If they announce Fei Yunyue's identity, then her position would be awkward.

She looked at Fei Yunyue with eyes full of grievances, "Sister, if you want me to leave the Wen family I will leave immediately." Saying so, she stood up and was about to leave.

Wu Tong grabbed Wen Ziruo's arm and glared at Fei Yunyue, "Fei Yunyue, don't even think about occupying Ruo Ruo's place."

Fei Yunyue held her chin and spoke slowly with her tone full of mockery, "So, you don't want to announce my identity. But you want me to marry into the Shi family?"

Does this Wen family consider her as a fool? Even though she didn't meet Shi Yu Jue, she has heard a lot about him.

There are many rumors about him in the Imperial Capital, saying he is ruthless and cold-blooded, he is a disabled and ugly person.

It's not that she cares about these rumors. It's just that she doesn't believe that the Wen family hasn't heard of these rumors.

Even if they know about Shi Yu Jue, to protect Wen Ziruo they want to push this marriage contract on to the daughter who has just returned home after living in the countryside so many years and they call it as compensation.

It seems her information regarding the Wen family is not accurate, they are so shameless that they don't have any bottom line. 

Fei Yunyue tried her best not to lose her patience, but she found it really difficult to control herself.

She spoke to Xiao Jiu in her consciousness, "Xiao Jiu, as per your requirements I have come to Wen family. You didn't mention any specific period of my stay. You can also see that I did my best to control my temper."

"I can't do it anymore. I plan to leave this Wen family and break the relationship with them. I don't care about your reasons. You should know it's very tough for me to sit and talk to people like them."

Xiao Jiu, who has been quiet for an entire day spoke at that time, "Master, you can't leave this family like that."

Fei Yunyue replied mockingly, "Really, now you see how I will let them sign the relationship severance papers."

She reached out to her bag in which she has placed the relationship severance papers and said to Xiao Jiu, "How do you think should I start? Should I beat them or simply poison them? Huh?"

Xiao Jiu spoke anxiously, "Master, calm down and listen to me. Let me explain to you why I asked you to come to this shameless family."

"Don't worry, Xiao Jiu. We will talk leisurely after I deal with these brazen people."

Wu Tong spoke firmly, "Ruo Ruo will be the daughter of our Wen family and you will marry into Shi family silently. Don't try to play any tricks."

Fei Yunyue sneered at Wu Tong, she really thinks beautifully! When she was about to bring the papers out from the bag, she felt an intense pain in her heart.

This time the pain is much severe than the one she has suffered in the morning. Her face became pale, and she bit her lips. It was as if her heart was pinched and squeezed by an invisible hand.

She felt as if her soul is being rejected by the body, as if something has pulled her away from the body. Her consciousness began to fade.

Xiao Jiu noticed Fei Yunyue's state and screamed bad. Fei Yunyue gradually began to lose control of the body, and at that time, she heard Xiao Jiu's milky voice full of anxiousness and worries, "Master, say yes! Agree with them. If you don't say, you will die."

Fei Yunyue listened to Xiao Jiu's words and got perplexed. How could her body condition be related to whether she agrees or not?

Xiao Jiu spoke anxiously again, "Master, I will explain it to you! Now, please leave those severance papers aside and agree to them."

If there is someone she could believe without any reservations in this world, it would be Xiao Jiu. She trusts it blindly because it is not a human being who can have a change in heart.

It is an artificial intelligence, designed by her and has accompanied her through the most challenging days of her life. She doesn't have any reservations about Xiao Jiu.

In the current situation, even if she doesn't know what's happening with her body or why Xiao Jiu was asking her to agree to this marriage contract, she chooses to trust it.
