Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 46 Progress is extremely fast

Zhao Junyi had long felt that Wang Daya treated him differently. When she looked at him, her eyes were full of admiration, even hotter than Yun Xi's.

So, he discussed it with Zhao Pingxiu and Zhang, and asked Zhang to go to Wang Daya and say some half-truths, saying that she was very good, hardworking, and virtuous. She was a hundred times better than Yunxi. If Yunxi didn't exist, he would definitely let her be his daughter-in-law.

Wang Daya listened to these words and believed them without a doubt. She was extremely excited.

When Zhao Junyi found an opportunity to trick Yun Xi into going up the mountain by saying that he wanted to eat wild peaches, he also specifically revealed this news to Wang Daya.

Later on, Wang Daya pushed Yun Xi off the cliff.

But I didn’t expect that Yun Xi didn’t die in the end.

Zhao Junyi was annoyed and anxious. He was annoyed that Wang Daya was useless and ineffective. He was anxious that he couldn't explain to Xue Yao if the matter was not resolved.

At this time, the Xue Mansion suddenly received news that Xue Yao was going to get married. And he never saw Xue Yao again since then.

When he heard that Xue Yao was going to marry the son of the county magistrate of the neighboring county, he knew that he was hopeless.

He felt a mixture of emotions, including shame, humiliation, heartache, loss, unwillingness, etc., which made him depressed for several days.

On the day Xue Yao got married, he watched her in a red dress getting into someone else's bridal sedan. Then he saw the man who came to pick her up sitting on a tall horse, looking very happy and high-spirited, smiling and bowing to everyone around him. At that moment, he wanted to become stronger.

It was also from that time that his goal became very clear. He wanted to pass the imperial examination and marry a noble lady from a wealthy family in the future, a lady who was more beautiful and charming than Xue Yao, and whose status and position were incomparable to Xue Yao's.

However, it was impossible to say that there was no ripple in his heart when he saw Xue Yao again this time.

After all, she was the only woman who had ever moved him, and Xue Yao was indeed pretty enough to attract some men's attention.

What's more, Zhao Junyi is at a young and energetic age.

Moreover, he was in a difficult time now, and he thought Xue Yao might be able to help him solve the problems that had not been solved these days.

So, when Xue Yao came to show her goodwill today and talked about their old relationship, he just went along with it.

"Ayao, I will never look down on you, but I'm worried that if someone finds out about us doing this, it will be bad for your reputation."

It's not just bad for their reputation. If they are caught, both the adulterer and the adulteress will be thrown into a pig cage.

Xue Yao shook her head. "Don't be afraid. The people I brought with me are my personal maids who have been with me since childhood. The people who came with me from the Chen Mansion have been arranged at home."

Two years ago, she married the son of the county magistrate of the next county at the behest of her parents. At that time, she had some feelings for Zhao Junyi and told Mr. Xue about their affairs.

But Mr. Xue felt that it was hard to say what would happen to Zhao Junyi in the future. The county magistrate was already a high position for them to pursue, and it was also a tangible benefit that they could immediately seize. After weighing the pros and cons, everyone knew what to choose.

Xue Yao agreed without much hesitation.

Who knew that after two years of marriage, she had no children, and the Chen family was full of complaints about her. Her husband was fine at first, but not long after the marriage, he took two concubines in succession and his heart was no longer on her.

Now both of her concubines are pregnant and have given birth to children. Although they are both girls, she still feels a great sense of crisis.

The Chen family suspected that she would not be able to have children, but when the doctor said that she was in good health and that it might be her destiny that had not yet arrived, they gave up the idea of ​​divorcing her.

But if she has no children for three years, the Chen family will probably divorce her and marry someone else regardless of whether she can give birth or not.

This time when she came back, Xue's family also found a famous doctor to check her health. The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her body, but it was possible that she and her husband were not compatible and it was difficult for her to conceive.

This put the Xue family in a dilemma. What should they do?

Later, Xue Yao came up with a bad idea. Since it was difficult to get pregnant with her husband because she was not compatible with him, what about with other men?

She thought of Zhao Junyi again.

She told her plan hesitantly to Xue's mother and Mr. Xue. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xue just let her decide for herself and did not object.

Now Xue Yao became bolder.

How could she know that Mr. Xue was still thinking about how to win over Zhao Junyi.

In this college entrance examination, Zhao Junyi performed excellently and became the youngest scholar in Xiemu County.

Everyone said that in three years, he would be the youngest scholar in Xiemu County. And several teachers in the academy said that he was a top scholar with a bright future.

Now all the families in the county with girls of marriageable age want to marry Zhao Junyi, and the Zhou family, which is on par with the Xue family, also has this intention.

The Zhou family has a girl named Zhou Ling who is unmarried and her appearance is no worse than Xue Yao.

Zhou Ling is one year younger than Xue Yao, which means she is also one year younger than Zhao Junyi. They are of similar age and it is a perfect match.

Mr. Xue felt that if the Zhou family and Zhao Junyi got married, and Zhao Junyi really became rich in the future, then in Xiemu County, their Xue family would fall behind the Zhou family.

As for his relative-in-law, the county magistrate from the neighboring county, his daughter is not well-received in the Chen family and can't benefit from it at all, so there is not much hope for her.

If I can rekindle my old relationship with Zhao Junyi this time and successfully borrow sperm from him, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Junyi has a bond here, and he will definitely be able to help the Xue family when he becomes successful in the future. And if Xue Yao gets pregnant, her position in the Chen family will be stable.

Zhao Junyi and Xue Yao each have their own thoughts, but they share the same goal of rekindling their old love.

So, when the two met, they didn't spend too much time reminiscing about the past, but were already very affectionate, as if they had returned to the time when they were passionately in love.

One is intentional and the other is intentional, and the progress is extremely fast.

At this moment, the two of them didn't eat much of the food, but instead hugged each other and started to eat each other.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, it wouldn't be just that.

After a long time, the two separated.

Xue Yao sobbed again.

"In fact, the reason why I married before I even met you was because I heard that you were already engaged. I was so disheartened that I agreed to marry you."

Zhao Junyi's heart tightened. Could this really be the reason? Wasn't it because he could not compare with the county magistrate's son?

He said, “I have called off the engagement.”

Xue Yao glared at him, "I know, I heard about it, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to see you. But I can't change my side, sob—"

"Ayao, you don't need to change, I am satisfied with this."

After that, he began to apologize again, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have concealed it from you, but I was worried that you would leave me after you knew I was engaged. I wanted to cancel the engagement and tell you, but you know the situation of my family. In order to support my studies, my family sold several acres of good land. Later, I borrowed money from the Yun family. The interest is compounded, and the principal and interest are quite a lot of silver. I haven't paid it back yet, and I can't cancel the engagement."

"Speaking of which, Master Xue helped me a lot in breaking off the engagement. I must thank him in the future."

"Oh? What did my father do to help?" Xue Yao looked up at him and asked curiously.

Zhao Junyi pecked her lips lightly before replying,

"I passed the exam this time and Master Xue gave me two hundred taels. I used this money to break off the engagement with the Yun family."
