The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Feeling the familiar touch, Yan Muxi raised his head and called out softly, "Cousin!"

Qian Haochuan responded softly, "Yes, I'm here!"

"I'm afraid I'll regret it!"

"What is there to regret? It's just a loss of money. I can earn more if I lose money. My cousin has no other skills, but he is very good at making money. Besides, it has to be handed over anyway, so it doesn't make much difference whether it is paid all at once or slowly."

Yan Muxi thought about it carefully and felt that this was true. The money that the Qian family should have provided to his father would have to be paid back sooner or later, and the pain of chopping meat with a slow knife was no less than that of cutting it off with a single knife.

Finally, she made up her mind that she would marry her cousin and return to the Jiangnan region she had longed for. From then on, she would no longer have to live her life in a cautious and concealed manner.

However, there are many ways for a couple to get married, and she didn't want her cousin to suffer for his whole life because of her.

"Cousin, can you agree to a favor for Xixi?"

"But, as long as it's something my cousin can do, I will never shirk it." Qian Haochuan was pleased.

"Can we just have the formalities of being husband and wife, but not actually be husband and wife? If one of us finds a partner that he or she wants to protect for the rest of his or her life, he or she can ask for a divorce at any time, and the other party cannot force him or her to stay. Cousin, do you agree?"

Qian Haochuan looked surprised. He didn't expect Yan Muxi would consider him to this extent.

Most of the injustice and harshness of the world are imposed on women.

Men can have three wives and four concubines, and can be fickle, with no restrictions on marriage. Women must strictly abide by the three obediences and four virtues and be loyal to their husbands until the end.

Whether it is divorce or separation, it will not cause much harm to the man. The one who will be hurt the most will be the woman.

The reason my cousin proposed this condition was simply to leave him a way out and not want him to regret it for the rest of his life.

The Su family was strict in household management, so Yan Muxi and his servant did not dare to stay outside for too long, and returned home as soon as they left the inn.

I slipped back into the yard and before I had time to change my clothes, Qian Manman came again.

Yinxia stopped the person outside and said, "The young lady hasn't woken up yet. How about Madam come over later?"

"Just wake her up. What girl would stay in bed in broad daylight?" Qian Manman was anxious and insisted on breaking the door. Yin Xia didn't dare to stop her. She estimated the time and let her in reluctantly.

In the bedroom, Yan Muxi was putting on his coat. When he saw Qian Manman coming in, he just snorted and didn't say anything.

"You have quite a bad temper, girl!" Qian Manman muttered. Seeing that her daughter looked unhappy, she didn't dare to say the words she had prepared.

After leaving her alone for a while, Yan Muxi spoke lazily, "My son is playing cards now, how can he have time to come to my daughter's broken yard?"

Qian Manman waved her hands, "Oh! The situation is urgent, how can mother have the heart to play cards... Sister Xi, your father has already talked to the Yun family, and the matchmaker will come to propose marriage the day after tomorrow." She observed her daughter's expression and spoke in a lower and lower voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and she shivered with fear.

Yan Muxi kicked over the stool in front of him, then snatched the copper basin from Yin Xia's hand and threw the basin and the water out together. There was another loud "bang bang bang" sound after they landed on the ground.

Every time the sound was heard, Qian Manman's body trembled, and she huddled her legs together, shrank her neck, and dared not say a word.

After a moment of silence, Yan Muxi gasped and shouted, "Whoever wants to marry can marry, I won't marry anyway. If you dare to force me, I will give up my hair and become a nun!"

Qian Manman shrunk her neck and raised her head. There was a tear in her big almond-shaped eyes, but she tried hard to hold it back and not let it fall.

As a mother, she couldn't afford to lose face when her daughter scared her to the point of crying.

Trying to calm down, she advised with a trembling voice, "Sister Xi, no matter how bad the Yun family is, it's better than being someone's concubine! Father and mother are doing this for your own good. If there is another way, we will definitely not force you!"

With a creaking sound, Yan Muxi pulled over another low stool and sat down. "Okay, I won't make things difficult for Father and Mother. You can ask me to marry, but Yun Juan must marry off before me."

"You are making things difficult for Mom and Dad. Miss Yun hasn't even met anyone, how can you get married?" Qian Manman tried to hold back for a long time but couldn't. She realized that tears were falling and quickly rolled up her sleeves to wipe them away.

As long as I wipe it quickly and my daughter doesn’t see it, it doesn’t count as crying.

Seeing her like this, Yan Muxi felt angry and helpless, and his tone slowed down a little.

"The daughter of a third-rank official can marry easily, so why can't Yun Juan? As long as she finds a suitable husband, isn't it easy to get married quickly?"

Qian Manman thought about it and it made sense. For Yunjuan, a girl bought from a human trafficker, it would be considered a good match for her to marry a minor official or a manager. It would not be difficult to find a suitable husband.

With an idea in mind, she carefully confirmed with her daughter, "As long as Yunjuan gets married, you will marry into the Yun family. Do you keep your word?"

Yan Muxi said perfunctorily, "Let her get married first!"

After Qian Manman left the door, Yin Xia sighed, bent down and half-knelt on the ground, carefully taking off Yan Muxi's shoes and socks.

The snow-white jade feet were only the size of a palm, and there was a purple bruise on the delicate toes, which looked painful.

"Miss, you kicked me so hard that I got hurt. Does it hurt?" Yinxia looked heartbroken.

"Miss, you are such a fool. I have never seen anyone hurt themselves by kicking them." Dongyu ran out with a frown on her face. After a while, she came back with Jinchun in her arms. "Quick, quick, come and check if you have any broken bones."

Yan Muxi retracted her feet and said, "Nothing, no need to look!"

Jin Chun squatted down next to Yin Xia, grabbed her injured foot and squeezed it without saying anything, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the bone was fine.

Before the others could lecture her, Yan Muxi raised her hands and begged for mercy, "I promise there won't be a next time. I will never act rashly again, really!"

Dong Yu said angrily, "Humph! I don't believe you. I will go to the kitchen and tell them to stew two large pig's trotters for dinner to nourish the young lady!"

Yan Muxi smiled and stopped him, "Dongyu, come back. The oily skin on my feet isn't even broken, so why would I need to take supplements?"

Dong Yu became even angrier after hearing that. "I am almost heartbroken, and Miss is even thinking about breaking my skin and making me bleed. This is simply trying to kill me!" After saying that, she walked out angrily.

Yan Muxi couldn't stop him, so he simply gave up. He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Yinxia helped her sit down on the couch, "At this time, young lady can still smile!"

"Crying is life, laughing is life, so why not laugh instead of crying? It's just a trivial matter, not worth making your young lady shed tears."

Looking at her young lady's eyes that were more beautiful than the crescent moon in the sky, Yinxia couldn't feel happy at all.

She asked worriedly, "Miss, do you think the Yun family will agree to Miss Yun getting married in a hurry?"

Yan Muxi put away the smile on her face and said, "Yes, but the process may not be easy. Whether it is easy or difficult, let them deal with it. It has nothing to do with us."

She was just buying some time for her grandfather and cousin. Whether Yunjuan got married or not had nothing to do with her.

Well, someone who had nothing to do with it came to the door on the third day.
