Chapter 736 Expelled from Home
Zhong Xingyun's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or his sore spot was hit.
He pointed at Zhong Yixiu, his hands trembling slightly.
"You are such a bastard! I am your father, how dare you speak to me in such a disrespectful way? Have you learned all the etiquette and poetry you were taught since you were a child?"
"Of course not." Zhong Yixue raised her hand to cover her burning and painful cheek. "Speaking of which, I really have to thank my father for asking someone to teach me poetry and books since I was a child. This made me truly understand what kind of life I want and what kind of life I want to live."
"For father, the Marquis of Mingchang is a very worthy target, but father, ask yourself, do you really think Yuwen Huan is a good husband? Do you really think your daughter will be happy after marrying him?"
"I..." Zhong Xingyun felt guilty for a moment, then immediately said, "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, marriage matters should be obeyed..."
"My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, so my happiness is not important?"
Zhong Yixiu interrupted Zhong Xingyun and looked at him with disappointment.
"Father, I am your daughter. I am not a ladder or a tool for you to climb up. Can you really keep the career you have bought with my life's happiness?"
Zhong Xingyun paused again, anger and guilt alternating in his heart, making his expression extremely complicated.
If possible, he certainly hopes that Yixue can marry a very good husband and live a happy and smooth life.
After all, she is his biological daughter. Which father in the world would want his daughter to be unhappy?
However, he had too little support in the court. Although he had worked hard in his early years and became the Minister of Rites, which seemed to be a glorious position, only he himself knew how weak his subsequent support was.
If he didn't win over the support, he might not be able to keep his position as Minister of Rites for long. Especially now that he had offended Shen Yanxi because of the matter of the Women's Academy.
But the affairs of the girls' academy were against etiquette to begin with, and he had already started it. If he retreated at this time, people would probably think he was afraid.
Moreover, he had thought that since he had married into the Mingchang Marquis' Mansion, he would not have to be afraid of Shen Yanxi, so he did not hold back on this matter. Now, even if he wanted to restore and ease the relationship, it would probably be difficult.
In short, it would be a huge disadvantage for him if this marriage was cancelled!
As his own daughter, doesn't she have any understanding for him at all? She only cares about her own pleasure and doesn't care about anything else.
Thinking of this, anger once again took over my emotions.
"No matter what you say, you were the one who caused this incident first. You left behind such a mess, and I don't know how to clean it up. Tomorrow, you will go with me to the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion to apologize and beg for forgiveness from the Marquis of Mingchang and the Princess, and then..."
"impossible."
"You have the guts to say that again!"
"I said it's impossible." Zhong Yixue repeated again, "Whether the father wants his daughter to apologize and ask for forgiveness, or hopes to continue the engagement by apologizing, it's absolutely impossible. Things have come to this point. Not to mention that the Mingchang Marquis's Mansion is unlikely to agree, even if they are willing, there is absolutely no possibility of resetting the engagement."
"Are you really crazy? I remember you used to be gentle and well-behaved, and you were very sensible. How could you become like this?"
Zhong Xingyun frowned, as if he didn't recognize the daughter in front of him at all.
"I understand. It must be because of the women's academy. It must be because of Jiang Suining and her friends' women's academy that made you have inappropriate fantasies and become crazy and do all kinds of evil things."
"Father, how can this matter be blamed on the girls' college!" Zhong Yiyu couldn't help but retort.
"Shut up!" Zhong Xingyun looked at Zhong Yiyu viciously, as if he was going to slap her in the face the next moment. "Don't think I don't know that you have been supporting your sister behind her back. She is confused, and so are you!"
"Father, I am supporting my elder sister, but I am not confused. Both my elder sister and I feel that Yuwen Huan is not a good match. He is such a playboy and he is not worthy of my elder sister at all. It is you, father..."
"Shut up! It's not your turn to teach your father a lesson here!" Zhong Xingyun interrupted Zhong Yiyu angrily.
Zhong Yixiu looked at her father who was roaring angrily in front of her and smiled bitterly.
"Father, you just said something wrong."
"what?"
"My daughter is not like this because of the Girls' Academy. She has been like this from the beginning. I just pretended before. I don't want to disappoint my father or make my mother sad, so I have been patient and pretending to obey you. But in fact, I am like this from the bottom of my heart."
If the girls' college really had any influence on me, it was only to release the resentment in my heart earlier.
Women should not be trapped in the harem forever, they should also have a world of their own.
Zhong Yixiu took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Zhong Xingyun.
"Regardless of whether you are willing or not, the cancellation of the engagement has been finalized. There is absolutely no room for reversal. As for what's next, I will find a way to do what I want to do. If I make you unhappy, I will apologize to you first."
Zhong Yixiu touched the ground with her forehead and kowtowed to Zhong Xingyun.
"My daughter cannot live her life according to your father's ideas forever. Today's cancellation of the engagement has caused a lot of uproar. I think no wealthy family will be interested in my daughter anymore. If you still have a little love for her, please let her do what she wants."
Zhong Xingyun stood there in a daze, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away. Although he was still angry, he felt powerless all over.
I don't know how long it was before he finally spoke.
"Okay, okay, okay! I will pretend that I have never given birth to a daughter like you! Since you want to do what you want, get out of the Zhong family from now on."
"Father, my sister..."
"If you dare to say anything more, get out with her!"
Zhong Xingyun interrupted Zhong Yiyu and looked at Zhong Yixiu who was still kneeling on the ground with a cold face.
"Get out of here, and don't take anything from the Zhong family. I want to see how long you can survive without the protection of the Zhong family. I'm waiting to see you come back crying!"
