The Zhuang Family’s incident had a profound impact on Xiao Yeyang and also made him feel a great sense of crisis about his own future with Daohua.
His situation was worse than that of Master Zhuang; the Zhuang Family could only spread rumors, but the Imperial Family behind him could take Daohua’s life and those of the entire Yan Family at any moment.
“Only useful people have the right to speak and act autonomously…”
Xiao Yeyang repeated this phrase to himself.
The Imperial Family is the least sentimental place, with numerous princes and princesses. Despite the seemingly decent treatment from his imperial uncle, if he foolishly counted on that slight affection to take charge of his own marriage, he would be deluding himself.
If he wanted to secure autonomy over his marriage, he needed substantial skills to impress his imperial uncle. With his support, everything else would be easy.
The incident also shook Daohua deeply. Ancient marriage customs emphasized matching social status, parental orders, and the matchmaker’s words. She had been psychologically prepared for this, but witnessing a young couple being driven to die for love still left her feeling desolate.
Thinking of her own future marriage, Daohua couldn’t help but look towards Xiao Yeyang, her eyes displaying a sense of bewilderment.
Would they have a happy ending?
Not long after, they returned to Taohua Temple.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Gu Jian noticed something off about the pair; his little disciple was usually cheerful, and although his nephew’s mood wasn’t very high due to annoying matters in Beijing, he was generally more relaxed with his little disciple’s company. So why did they both look so troubled after just one outing today?
Elder Gu noticed as well and immediately summoned De Fu and Wang Manman to inquire.
The two of them took turns describing what they had encountered in town.
After listening, Elder Gu and Gu Jian exchanged a silent look.
Elder Gu sighed, “They must have been scared.”
Gu Jian looked at his sister incredulously and dismissed De Fu and Wang Manman with a wave, “Those two kids scare that easily? Hmph, it seems to me that they are reflecting on their own situation from what happened to others.”
