The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Chapter 585, Mountain Song Duet_1

After Daohua and Zhu Qiyun descended the stairs, they didn’t walk far before finding a seat in the nearby Jiao Pavilion.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyun seemed somewhat distracted, Daohua thought for a moment and then asked, "That... your engagement with the young man from the Zhuang Family..."

Zhu Qiyun was quite open about it, "When my family heard about the Zhuang son’s tragic love, and since he and I had not yet gone through the formal wedding ceremony, my family brought me back home, and naturally, the engagement was canceled."

Daohua smiled, "Your family is very good."

Zhu Qiyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, for the sake of my happiness, my mother and brother went against the clan’s objections and brought me back home."

Daohua, "Then your visit here today is...?"

Zhu Qiyun showed a bitter smile, "Having canceled the engagement isn’t good for the reputation of the sisters in our clan. The elders are eager to see me married off quickly. Today, my third aunt brought me here to look at prospective suitors."

Daohua, "Looking at whom? The Prefectural Governor’s wife over there?"

Zhu Qiyun nodded with a bitter smile.

Daohua was silent for a moment and finally uttered, "That Madam doesn’t seem very easy to get along with."

Zhu Qiyun gazed into the distance, a daze in her eyes, "The difficulty in getting along with her is secondary, the main issue is, their son is a fool." She looked at Daohua with a lost expression, "Miss Yan, do you think if I had tolerated the Zhuang son’s tragic love back then, my life might be easier now?" _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Daohua looked at Zhu Qiyun, at a loss for what to say.

Regaining her composure, Zhu Qiyun offered an apologetic smile, "Miss Yan, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have talked about these depressing matters."

Daohua shook her head, and couldn’t help but comfort her, "If your family is willing to let you break off the engagement, they surely won’t force you to marry someone you don’t like. Don’t overthink it."

Zhu Qiyun gave a wry smile, "My mother and brother certainly wouldn’t, but the people in the clan will not agree. I can’t just think about myself; I have to consider my brother as well."

Their father had passed away, and their household had only one male heir, her brother. They would certainly need the support of the clan in the future, so she couldn’t afford to offend them too much.

Not being familiar with the affairs of the Zhu Family, Daohua didn’t know what more to say.

The pavilion had grown quiet, and just then, loud laughter could be heard from a distance. Daohua looked towards the sound and saw a crowd gathering. She couldn’t help saying, "Shall we go have a look too?"

Zhu Qiyun glanced at Daohua’s foot, "I’m fine, but Miss Yan, your foot... can you manage?"

Daohua, "If we go slowly, it’s fine."

Soon, the two joined the crowd and discovered that on both sides of the River Valley, people were engaging in mountain song duets.

Seeing Daohua’s curious expression, Zhu Qiyun explained with a smile, "This is a custom among some mountain dwellers. What might seem bold to us is actually a refined and interesting event for them. Many destined young men and women even find their life partners this way."

Daohua said with a smile, "I think it’s quite good. Singing is a talent, and this is like finding a soulmate through real skill."

Zhu Qiyun couldn’t help but laugh softly at the remark.

"Big sister, why are you here alone? Aren’t Yi Huan and the others with you?"

Yan Wenjie emerged from the crowd.

Seeing Yan Wenjie, Daohua was somewhat surprised and said with a smile, "I’m not convenient with my foot, so I didn’t keep up with them. But what about you, second brother? Why aren’t you with eldest brother and the others?"

Yan Wenjie, "The Little Prince and the others are going to paddle dragon boats. I’m not interested, so I came out." He then looked at Daohua, "There’s a crowd here. Are you okay being on your own?"

Zhu Qiyun heard Yan Wenjie talking about "Miss Yan being alone" and completely ignoring her, causing her to smile and say, "May I ask, young master, am I not a person?"

"Uh..."

Yan Wenjie paused before turning to Zhu Qiyun, looking embarrassed, "That’s not what I meant, please don’t be offended, miss." He then turned to Daohua, "Do you want me to take you back?"
