In the second half of the letter, she directly told everyone that they thought wrong.
In the letter, Xu You Rong clearly stated that the only relationship between her and Qiu Shan Jun was that they disciplines of the same sect and close siblings.
She respected her senior, but never wanted to be together with him.
She also wrote in the letter that she didn’t know if this letter would arrive on time. However, no matter late or on time, she stood by her decision that…….
she would not marry to him.
————————————————-
In just a few dozens of lines, she expressed her thought clearly but it lacked explanations.
The people in the palace all looked at the letter in Prince Chen Liu’s hand. They were so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
Why? Why is this happening? Why is she so calm? So sure?
This marriage was the bond between the southern sect and Zhou Dynasty. It was the will of the Divine Queen, the Pope, the Virgin, and Mountain Li’s Sword Sect. In front of this enormous will, what reason did she have to object?
Xu You Rong used the last sentence of the letter to give an explanation to the entire continent.
This explanation was simple, yet undisputable.
It was similar to Chen Chang Sheng’s explanation of objecting Qiu Shan Jun’s proposal.
“Because I’m already in a vow to be marry. My fiance is Chen Chang Sheng.”
————————————————–
Silence filled the palace. Not a sound was heard.
Previously, no one trusted Chen Chang Sheng’s words. Even if his marriage vow was real, no one accepted this fact until the white crane bought this letter and revealed Xu You Rong’s true feelings. This letter was like a slap to the face for everyone.
Mo Yu previously read this letter and thought to herself, what does this idiot girl want to do?
Luo Luo’s eyes were sparkling and she praised, “Xu You Rong is so……cool!”
Chen Chang Sheng lowered his head slightly and saw his reflection on the golden bricks in the palace. Previously when Prince Chen Liu was reading the letter, his expression got calmer and calmer as the sentences went on. The pressure was lifted from his heart. But why in the end did confusion fill his heart?
Why did you write a letter like this even if you don’t want to marry me? Chen Chang Sheng thought.
Just this moment, the white crane walked up to Chen Chang Sheng and extended its neck to greet him warmly.
Chen Chang Sheng raised his head and smiled at the white crane. He raised his arm, wrapped around its neck and patted its head.
Looking at this scene, the people in the palace fell into a deeper silence.
Everyone knew that this white crane always followed Xu You Rong around when it was not delivering messages. Its personality was cold and prideful but right now, it was so close with Chen Chang Sheng. This meant that Chen Chang Sheng knew the white crane from way back.
He was already so close with the crane, what more could be said about the girl?
So everything said in the letter was true and not an excuse. Xu You Rong wasn’t forced to follow her grandfather’s will but accepted this marriage as her wish.” *
Perhaps she and this youngster named Chen Chang Sheng were actually childhood friends.
“Childhood friends? Unbreakable as gold?”
Tang Thirty Six looked at Gou Han Shi and the southern ambassadors.
Those were words that Gou Han Shi previously used to describe the relationship between Qiu Shan Jun and Xu You Rong.
Tang Thirty Six’s smile may seem indifferent, but mockery and insult was hiding within.
“From what I see, isn’t this just wishful thinking?”
*Translator Note: Just in case readers forgot, it was mentioned very early in the story that Xu You Rong’s grandfather was ill and Chen Chang Sheng’s master cured him. To thank his work, Xu You Rong’s grandfather made a vow to marry Xu You Rong to the master’s apprentice.
