Chapter 64 Can't Let Go
The two men's eyes met, full of hostility and dissatisfaction.
Ran He sneered lightly, then turned around and walked away from them with the backpack on his back. This was not out of fear, but because he was unwilling to waste his precious time on such boring entanglements.
Soon, the carriages and horses were ready, and after everyone paid the fees, the journey officially started, with the destination being the distant Wujia Village.
Along the way, people's eyes would occasionally drift towards Ran He's heavy backpack, expressing curiosity and confusion about her financial ability to buy meat and choose cloth. Among this group of people, such spending power was rare.
Finally, the team arrived at Wujia Village and saw a plump matchmaker walking into the village from afar.
Someone in the crowd recognized her. It was the one who had brought the official here before. He had seen Ran He talking to him with his own eyes and was deeply impressed.
The other person who recognized the matchmaker was Guan Taohua. Since she often visited the Wu family, she had met the matchmaker several times and would naturally not forget her.
Guan Taohua guessed that this might be the finalization of the Wu family girl's marriage. She remembered that Wu's mother had mentioned that the girl was going to marry into a wealthy family in the town and enjoy a prosperous life. She had to catch this ride quickly. So she didn't pay any attention to Ran He at all, and didn't stop her from leaving with the basket on her back.
Although Guan Taohua was privately quite dissatisfied with the fact that Wu's mother had not told Ran He that he knew about herbs, but when she thought that if Wu Yue could really succeed in having a relationship with the official, she, as a neighbor, would naturally be able to get a share of the pie through this relationship, her dissatisfaction gradually turned into expectation.
However, the matchmaker walked into the Wu family with a swaying waist. Not only did her face not show joy, but her brows were furrowed, and her face was full of dissatisfaction and disappointment, which made everyone present feel an ominous atmosphere.
"Oh, the matchmaker is here in person, so I guess there must be good news about my girl's marriage? What does the official say?"
Wu's mother was washing clothes in the yard. She had to take on more housework because Xie Di was unwell. Wu Yue had a high opinion of herself and thought she was about to become a lady. She didn't want to damage her hands with rough work, so all the heavy work fell on Wu's mother's thin shoulders.
Wu Yue sat on a carved wooden chair in the inner room, silver needles flying in her hands, concentrating on a beautiful picture of two butterflies playing in the water. Delicate silk threads jumped between her fingers, weaving a masterpiece of embroidery that was about to be completed.
Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps penetrated the quiet air and disturbed her inner peace.
Mother Wu's heart tightened and the sewing in her hands stopped unconsciously. She looked up suddenly, her eyes flashing with anticipation, as if she had a premonition that some important news was about to come.
She hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hands, and before she could even tidy up the stitches, she rushed out of the inner room in two steps. The sunlight outside the door shone on her slightly anxious face, adding a bit of urgency to the picture.
Wu Yue's heart beat faster and she prayed secretly, hoping that these hurried footsteps would bring the good news she had been thinking about day and night.
"Oh, what a coincidence,"
Outside the door, Guan Taohua's familiar laughter was like a spring breeze. Her face was like a blooming peony, full of joy. She walked slowly step by step, "Mother Wu, your girl's marriage is probably settled. Congratulations in advance."
Guan Taohua's words were like warm sunshine, trying to illuminate every corner of Wu's mother's heart.
However, although Wu Yue had mixed feelings, including joy and confusion, she could only force a smile and quietly hide her unhappiness because of the elder's kindness.
Just as everyone's faces were filled with joy and they were expecting more blessings, the matchmaker suddenly waved her handkerchief and spoke in a sharp tone like a knife, directly breaking the harmony of the moment.
"Where is the joy coming from? This marriage is off!"
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to freeze instantly. The displeasure on the matchmaker's face was like a dark cloud pressing down on one's head, making it impossible to avoid it. However, the people around her seemed to be stunned by this sudden change, and they were unable to react for a while.
"What? Blow?"
Mother Wu's voice was low and trembling as she repeated those two words, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.
The marriage had obviously been negotiated smoothly, and the wealthy man had praised her highly during the meeting. How come all the beautiful vision turned into nothing in the blink of an eye?
"Why? Didn't you say last time that the master was quite fond of our Wu Yue?"
Wu Yue's voice was a little flustered and puzzled, with confusion between her brows, as if she was eager to find a reasonable explanation.
The matchmaker's face became increasingly ugly. The failure of this marriage not only meant the failure of matchmaking, but also cut off her chance of getting compensation from the Wu family.
Therefore, facing the Wu family, her attitude became cold and impatient.
"It's a long story. The master, contrary to everyone's expectation, insisted on sending servants to Wujia Village to investigate your daughter's reputation before the marriage. Who would have thought that this investigation would reveal the bad reputation of your Wu family. After hearing this, the master was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he firmly stated that he did not want to continue this marriage. Fortunately, I was quick-witted and recommended a woman with a good reputation in the neighboring village to him in time, so that I didn't let this black pot fall on my head. Really, who did I offend?"
Mother Wu's attention was completely focused on the most crucial information. "Who is it that is gossiping behind my daughter's back and ruining her reputation? If I find out, I will make her suffer the consequences, even tearing her mouth to pieces!"
Thinking that Wu Yue had lost this wonderful marriage innocently, Wu's mother burned with uncontrollable anger in her heart and vowed to seek justice for her daughter.
"I heard it's a young girl from your village. Well, I'm an outsider, how can I care about so many right and wrongs? I just came to pass on a message. You can forget about the official. However, if you are willing to consider other marriage candidates, I, as a matchmaker, can naturally help you find one or two more."
There was a subtle shrewdness in the matchmaker's eyes, and it was obvious that she did not intend to miss any opportunity to facilitate the marriage.
In her opinion, although Wu Yue's family background was ordinary, she was pretty and it would not be difficult for her to get married if she did not have high demands.
"No, I only want to marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. How can I marry someone else so rashly?"
Mother Wu almost shouted this sentence, with stubbornness and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
For her, this was not just a failed marriage, but also the collapse of her dreams.
Guan Taohua originally thought she came to congratulate, but unexpectedly encountered such a change. She was immediately put in an awkward situation and had no idea what to do.
When Wu's mother heard the word "young girl", she couldn't help but think of Ran He.
First of all, Ran He does meet the conditions for disrupting a marriage.
Secondly, she had an old grudge against the Wu family and wished that the Wu family would suffer setbacks everywhere.
Ran He might be responsible for this sudden change... This thought was like an undercurrent, surging quietly in her heart.
