Chapter 258 - Unfulfilled Vow (1/2)

After listened to Mammy Huang’s praise, Shen Xiaoyan smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Her face turned rosier and she said, “I’m flattered. Please sit down!”

Mammy Huang praised her again and then told Xiaoyan that Master Li had taken a fancy to her and decided to accept her as the third wife. This was really a heaven-sent fortune.

Mammy Huang looked at Shen Xiaoyan with a flattering look on her face, and she asked the third wife to take care of her in the future.

The marriage was like a thunder. Shen Xiaoyan was shocked instantly. Her mind and body were suddenly frozen and she paused.

She quickly calmed down and hurriedly declined.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyan refusing, Mammy Huang shook her head and was a little puzzled. Such a good marriage was rare, how could she miss it? There were many people who wanted to play up to Master Li. There was no woman who didn’t want to be the hostess of Li Mansion, but unfortunately they didn’t have the luck.

Xiaoyan was young and beautiful, and Master Li was very fond of her. If she could have a few children, the grand family would belong to her sooner or later. This was a great thing that was hard to find in the world.

Mammy Huang cautioned Xiaoyan that one should be grateful. Master Li was so caring that she shouldn’t be ruthless and unreasonable. She couldn’t let the master down.

Shen Xiaoyan panicked and hurriedly said, “This marriage was really impossible. I… I already have a fiancé. His surname is Liu, and he is preparing to marry me. I… I thank Master Li for his kindness, but please forgive me that I can’t agree.”

She was helpless and could only decline.

Mammy Huang snorted disdainfully. Xiaoyan was already the madam of Li Mansion, and the previous marriage contract was null and void, and no one dared to make trouble. Even if being invited, no one dared to steal people from here. Whoever dared to go against Li Mansion would be injured for the best, and for the worst be killed.

She told Xiaoyan that the marriage had been settled and she would marry Master Li tomorrow. She would enjoy life happily in the future.

Shen Xiaoyan was flustered and still declined. Such being the case, she couldn’t spend the night in Li Mansion. She got up and wanted to leave.

Mammy Huang immediately changed her expression and pressed Shen Xiaoyan down. Her flattering face disappeared long ago, and her face was full of fierce.

Mammy Huang’s eyes widened and she snapped sharply, “Don’t be unappreciative. Is Li Mansion the place where you can come and go at will? You should obey the arrangements, and it’s not your turn to decide. It was decided by Master Li. Whether you agree or not, it will happen, and I’m just informing you. Now, the whole family is preparing for tomorrow’s wedding, and no one can stop it. You just wait to get married.”

She persuaded Xiaoyan to be sensible, and obedience would be of great benefit. Otherwise she would suffer physically. If that was the case, Xiaoyan could only be the plaything of Master Li, and it would be no longer possible for her to be his wife.

Two attitudes would cause two completely different endings. She should understand the situation and stop doing stupid things.

Shen Xiaoyan was crying anxiously, “No, I can’t agree! I already have a fiancé, and it was settled by my parents. I can’t break an engagement and get married again.”

Mammy Huang’s eyes flashed fiercely, she scolded her for being unappreciative. She warned Xiaoyan that whether she married or not, she would belong to Li Mansion, and it was useless to argue about it.

She no longer paid attention to Xiaoyan and left in anger.

Shen Xiaoyan broke free from the maidservant’s pull and wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but she was stopped by the family waiting outside the gate. She was completely desperate.

She never expected that Li Wanfu looked amiable, but he was a beast in human face, and she was forced to marry him by being fooled into the house.

Xiaoyan was unlucky. Disasters came one after another, and they were all terrible marriages.

The first two times, she was tricked and sold to be a wife, and this time she was forced to be a wife again. Why was the terrible destiny tangling her? She was a fragile woman who did nothing against the world. Why was her destiny so miserable?

This night, Shen Xiaoyan was terrified and desperate. She was unable to fall asleep, and was crying sadly all the time.

Later, she had no tears to cry, and her swollen eyes could not be opened. When she fell asleep, it was almost dawn.

Xiaoyan slumbered for a long time. When she woke up, it had been more than half a day, and the sun was looking at the earth from the west of the sky.

In Li Mansion, people had been busy for the evening wedding. The decoration inside and outside the house was almost done. Lights were everywhere, showing a joy of no patience.

The servants brought hearty meals for Shen Xiaoyan to eat.

Xiaoyan was so sad that she couldn’t eat and couldn’t stop crying.

It seemed that a terrible wedding must be done, and it was no longer possible for her to decide.

What would happen to her in the future was difficult to tell. Xiaoyan’s stubborn personality was likely to bring her physical pain, and she would become a plaything of Li Wanfu and eventually die sadly, as Mammy Huang said.

Outside, the red lights hung high and the colored silk fluttered. The house was filled with great joy.

In the room, the atmosphere was very different. What filled here were fear, sadness, and helpless crying…

Suddenly, two people came to the room. One of them was tall and slightly fat. He was about fifty years old and well-dressed.

Seeing him coming, the maidservants hurriedly greeted him, rushed to the side and stood with discipline.
