Although gossiping is unavoidable once the engagement is terminated, it is still different for the Shen family to go to the Mu family and the Mu family to go to the Shen family.
After all, the Shen family also wanted to maintain their face, so they did not tell the story about Mu Hongcheng and Shen Yulin. Outsiders only knew that Shen Yanqing and Mu Hongcheng spent less time together and separated more, and had no feelings, so they wanted to break off their engagement.
Despite this, many people still speculated whether Mu Hongcheng had done something to feel sorry for Shen Yanqing
Some people also speculated whether Shen Yanqing had done something to feel sorry for Mu Hongcheng
However, Shen Yanqing was the one who told her about the breakup of the engagement, so more people still thought that Mu Hongcheng had done something to offend Shen Yanqing. After all, everyone knew that Shen Yanqing liked Mu Hongcheng.
Mu Hongcheng, on the other hand, was not that interested in Shen Yanqing.
Therefore, if the Mu family were to cancel the engagement, more people would think that Shen Yanqing had done something to offend Mu Hongcheng.
Why should Shen Yanqing pay for what Mu Hongcheng did wrong
Mu Hongcheng hesitated to speak and could only turn around and leave.
As soon as he came out, he saw Shen Yulin. Shen Yulin was very concerned: "Brother Hongcheng, how are you? You weren't scolded by my father, right?"
"No, your father said that he will take Shen Yanqing to the Mu family to cancel the engagement soon." Mu Hongcheng said.
"Then did you say that between us..." Shen Yulin asked. She wanted Mu Hongcheng to directly admit their relationship, and then they could be together openly.
When this matter was mentioned, Mu Hongcheng's brows furrowed tightly: "I said that I only regard you as my sister, and there is no special relationship. Your father asked me to keep a distance from you."
When Shen Yulin heard this, her face turned pale: "Why didn't you tell me and you..."
"Yulin." Before Shen Yulin could finish speaking, Mu Hongcheng stopped and said, "It's not the right time to say it now. If your father knew that it was because of my close relationship with you that Shen Yanqing and I broke off our engagement, I'm afraid that If you are angry, it will not be so easy for me to terminate the engagement with Shen Yanqing, so I want to wait until we terminate the engagement with Shen Yanqing first."
Shen Yulin choked and felt that Mu Hongcheng was so stupid. She said helplessly: "Brother Hongcheng, you are wrong. Since Shen Yanqing wants to terminate the engagement with you, she has naturally told you the reason, and her father will definitely believe it." Shen Yanqing's words, so my father is already angry about this matter. If you had just admitted that you and I really like each other, my father might be angry and scold you, but he might not stop us. But you denied it. , it will make my father feel that you are cheating on him, and he will make things difficult for you, and maybe he will not let us be together."
Hearing this, Mu Hongcheng was stunned and felt that what Shen Yulin said made sense.
But he has already denied it, what else can he do
At this time, the head of the Shen family came out. When he saw Mu Hongcheng and Shen Yulin talking in the yard, his face suddenly darkened: "What are you doing!"
Hearing Mu Hongcheng's voice, the two of them were startled. Mu Hongcheng immediately explained: "We were just chatting for a few words. I will go back right away."
After Mu Hongcheng said that, he turned around and left.
This hasty way of putting aside the relationship not only made the Shen family head look down on, but also made Shen Yulin a little depressed.
"Father." Shen Yulin looked at the head of the Shen family and shouted weakly, waiting for his anger to burst out.
"Mu Hongcheng said that there is no transcendent relationship between you. He just regards you as his sister. But if you are not too close, Qing'er will not misunderstand you. Therefore, there are differences between men and women. In the future, you must Keep your distance, lest people misunderstand me and say that I, Miss Shen, am a dishonest woman! You are not young anymore, it is time for you to kiss me, and I will ask your mother to help you keep an eye on it." The head of the Shen family did not He was angry, but since they didn't admit it, he didn't point it out because he didn't want Shen Yulin and Mu Hongcheng to be together.
If Shen Yulin and Mu Hongcheng get together, no matter now or in the future, everyone will think that Shen Yanqing and Mu Hongcheng broke off their engagement because Mu Hongcheng likes Shen Yulin.
Shen Yulin will also be criticized and criticized by everyone. The Shen family will be embarrassed if they have such a daughter.
When Shen Yulin heard this, her face suddenly changed: "What? Father, I don't want..." "Are you planning to stay unmarried for the rest of your life?" The head of the Shen family's face darkened.
"No, I just, I just..." Shen Yulin wanted to admit it, but she didn't dare because Mu Hongcheng had just denied it. If he admitted it, things would be even more troublesome.
The head of the Shen family didn't like Shen Yulin very much at first, but now he doesn't like it even more: "Starting from today, you will ground me for one month."
"Father..." Shen Yulin was startled and anxious.
Mu Hongcheng will return to Tianyun Sect soon. If she is grounded, won't they not be able to see her
She knew that her father did it on purpose, but she did not dare to disobey her father's words.
Shen Yulin immediately went to find her mother and told her about the matter.
"Mom, what should I do? I only like brother Hongcheng! I don't want to marry anyone else..." Shen Yulin cried.
"Mu Hongcheng is so stupid at this critical moment!" Mrs. Liu was also a little angry.
Actually! Mu Hongcheng is not wrong in saying this. After all, everyone has their own ideas. Who knows what the Shen family leader thinks
"But what should I do?" Shen Yulin asked anxiously.
"Don't worry! Mom won't find another man for you, but for the time being, you'd better keep a distance from Mu Hongcheng to avoid making your father angry." Mrs. Liu comforted her.
For so many years, Mrs. Liu has always been cautious in doing things, because her husband didn't like her, and she used tricks to become his wife.
Although the two of them later became respectful to each other, there was a gap after all, so they didn't want to conflict with him.
She also wanted to do better, so that her son's status in the Shen family would be more stable, so all the time, even though she disliked Shen Yanqing in every possible way, she did not openly embarrass her.
And for the sake of his son and himself, what if he made his daughter suffer a little
Only when a servant came to notify Shen Yanqing did she know that Mu Hongcheng was back, and her father asked her to prepare and go to Mu's house to break off the engagement soon.
Shen Yanqing sighed heavily, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, but this was something she had to do, so she packed up immediately and went to Mu's house with her father.
The Mu family also knew that their son was in the wrong, so they always had a good attitude towards the Shen family and his daughter. Even if the Shen family leader said something harsh, they did not refute it.
Besides, they also want to marry the Shen family! Therefore, it is even more impossible to fall out with the Shen family leader.
It's just that the wife here has been replaced by Shen Yulin from Shen Yanqing.
