Happy Divorce Chapter 5 (Part 1)
Happy Divorce Chapter 5 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Things about wealthy families always spread very quickly, especially the high-profile Su family, so in less than a day in Nanxi City, rumors began to spread that Uncle Wang hit someone with a bamboo broom.
Why hit someone? People who saw the details said that the man who divorced the eldest young lady of the Su family actually came to the Su mansion.
As soon as these words were spoken, the city’s people were excited.
Especially when they found out that the man was the handsome young man staying in Taozhen Tower. Everyone was curious.
What the h*ll was going on?!
Why did this young master stay at Taozhen Tower owned by the Su family? Didn’t he divorce Miss Su? Didn’t they hear that there was already a rift between Su and Yan’s family?
When Miss Su was divorced and returned home, Mr. Su was furious and annexed all the stores opened by the Yan family in the south. This caused the Yan family to suffer many losses and heavy debts. Ultimately, they had to sell several stores in the north to pay off the debts. Although the Yan family was still there, their influence was no longer what it used to be.
This incident was quite a sensation back then. Even now, some people still talk about it during tea. Everyone knew that Mr. Su hated the Yan family to the end.
Now, the young master of the Yan family, who had divorced Miss Su, dared to enter the Su mansion. Wasn’t this looking for death?
But they heard Miss Su had a perfect attitude towards the young master of the Yan family and had no resentment at all. This was unlike Miss Su, who was bound to retaliate against everyone!
Could it be Miss Su still had feelings for Young Master Yan?
The details in this piece were confusing, making the city’s people feel itchy. Every day, new rumors come out and spread a lot.
Su Manlu was completely unaware of the commotion in the city. She left early for the Northeast.
A gorgeous black carriage was moving on the official road. The two brown horses running forward had shiny coats. It was apparent at first glance that they were rare and good horses. Over a dozen guards followed the carriage to protect the young lady’s safety.
This kind of battle made Tang Yinfeng speechless. He had heard that Mr. Su loved his daughter and now realized it.
Moreover, all these guards knew Yan Feixi’s identity——Father Su had already instructed them to be wary of this person and never let him get close to the young lady.
Su Manlu stayed in the carriage and ate in the room when she arrived at the inn, where she rested. Bi Luo, who followed beside her, protected her young lady tightly. When she saw Yan Feixi, she glared at him and did not allow him to get close to her young lady.
So ten days after departure, Yan Feixi had no chance to talk to Su Manlu.
Faced with this situation, Yan Feixi rubbed his nose, while Tang Yinfeng gloated.
“Look, guarding against you is like guarding against thieves. I think this battle is aimed at you.” Tang Yinfeng approached Yan Feixi and made sarcastic remarks to his friend.
Yan Feixi glanced back at the carriage. He could feel that Su Manlu was avoiding him. When they met before, her eyes always looked directly at him without hesitation, but these days her eyes never met his. Even if he talked to her, she still lowered her eyes, and the maid next to her would stand in front of her, telling him to stay away from her young lady.
She no longer spoke but remained silent. She had been almost silent for the past ten days.
Such an anomaly made Yan Feixi frown.
“But if you make amends, then make amends. Why do you want others to go with you? Feixi, what are you thinking?” Tang Yinfeng couldn’t understand his friend’s actions at all, and coupled with the fact that he watched Yan Feixi’s ambiguous behavior at the Su Mansion that day, it was clearly flirting!
This made Tang Yinfeng suspicious, “Hey, you shouldn’t be tempted by Miss Su, right?”
Tempted?
Yan Feixi finally turned his attention to Tang Yinfeng and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he heard something magical. “You said I was tempted by Su Manlu?”
How was this possible? He just wanted to make up for his past mistakes... Although asking her to accompany him was indeed intentional, perhaps because he couldn’t stand her calm appearance or wanted to tease her and see how she would react, he added this condition temporarily.
Besides, she was going to the Northeast anyway, and it would take at least a month to get from Nanxi City to Mosha City in the Northeast. It was always unsafe for a woman to travel far away, so he said he also wanted to protect her as a fellow traveler——although the formation set up by Father Su made him feel like he was the jackal, tiger, or leopard that was dangerous to Su Manlu.
In short, everything he did was just to make amends. It had nothing to do with being tempted.
“You think too much.” Yan Feixi admitted that Su Manlu made him find her attractive, but it was only because her personality was different from before, and the guilt he felt made him keep Su Manlu in his heart. After he made amends and the guilt disappeared, they would have nothing to do with each other.
Did he really think too much? Tang Yinfeng scratched his head. Before he could express his disbelief, Yan Feixi gently pulled the reins, turned the horse back, and rode to the carriage. A guard immediately stepped forward to block Yan Feixi.
“Young Master Yan, is something wrong?”
Yan Feixi ignored the guard’s question and spoke directly to the carriage curtain. “Miss Su.” He felt he had had enough of passing on messages and must talk to Su Manlu.
Seeing Yan Feixi wanted to harass his young lady, the guard’s attitude immediately became tough. “Young Master Yan, please don’t disturb the young lady’s rest. If you have anything to say, I will convey it to her.”
“No, I must tell your young lady about this in person.” Yan Feixi also insisted.
The guard’s face darkened, “Young Master Yan, please don’t make things difficult for us.”
As soon as these words came out, the carriage stopped, and all the guards looked at Yan Feixi with unkind expressions.
Tang Yinfeng hurried over to smooth things over. “Don’t be like this, don’t be like this. Why are people traveling together making such a fuss?”
He comforted the guard first, then said to Yan Feixi: “Feixi, if you have anything to say to the eldest young lady, can’t you let someone convey it?” While speaking, he did not forget to use his eyes to signal the surnamed Yan not to cause trouble.
