"Dear, why did you decide to visit at this time? It''s just an engagement annulment; we can annul it with a letter. Also, that Yuan family head has disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts; probably he died somewhere; the rest are just a small child and a female with no identity."


    The female spoke with a frown, looking at her husband with a dissatisfied expression.


    "Mom, who am I going to marry?" Instantly the little girl Lu Li beside her asked curiously, looking at the mansion in front of her and then the dark trees and bushes around it,


    "How many times have I told you that you shouldn''t talk in such a manner in front of your child? It may affect her personality." The Li Gong spoke, looking at his wife solemnly and then ncing at his little daughter, patted her head, and replied,


    "We are here to meet a friend; no one is going to get married." After speaking, he grabbed the little daughter''s hand and walked forward toward the mansion gate, while his wife nced at his back with a dissatisfying look.


    "I want my daughter to marry a prince; how can such a rubbish and eerie ce be suitable for my daughter? Also, the son of a dead man isn''t suitable to be our family son-inw."


    She murmured and followed them inside while grabbing her own dress,


    Li Gong''s expression froze hearing his wife murmur; his brow furrowed and then rxed after looking at his daughter''s curious and carefree look. He didn''t say anything in return.


    …


    Meanwhile, at the backside of the mansion,


    A small figure of an eight-year-old child sitting cross-legged motionlessly in the wide hall,


    Suddenly, as if feeling something, the figure opened his eyes; a cold flicker shed through his dark eyes.


    ''Well, someone arrived.''


    Lin Lee thought to himself, raising his hand and looking around, and then turned and nced in the direction behind him.


    ''A surveince surrounding the mansion and some visitors arrived in the pce, one figure with curious and cheerful emotion, another figure with jealousy and hate, and finally thest one with helplessness and a little guilt in his heart. Who are they?''


    Lin Lee thought to himself, sensing the emotion from everything in the surrounding few miles around him, also the emotion of the Li family arriving inside the mansion.


    Steps!!!


    Instantly hurried footsteps sounded from behind him, and his mother appeared with a little reluctant, sad, and guilty expression.


    "Little Yi,e with me; some guests appeared, and you should meet them," Yi Yun spoke, looking at him with a smile.


    Lin Lee nodded and then followed his mother toward the main guest hall of the mansion,


    "Mother, who are they?" Lin Lee asked, looking at her with a thoughtful look on his face,


    "They are from the Li family in the royal capital. Be respectful to them; the man is your father''s friend, and he is the minister right under the king." Yi Yun replied and then instructed him to deal with the guest a little cautiously.


    Lin Lee nodded, looking at her sad and worried expression, ''It seems they are here to announce the bad news.''


    He thought to himself, and then both of them appeared in the main guest hall, looking at the Li family sitting on the couch and engaged in the conversation.


    Upon noticing Lin Lee''s arrival, both Li Gong and his wife nced at him, while Li Lu''s eyes lit up seeing his attractive appearance and ck eyes.


    "You look exactly like Yuan Hao, a spitting image of your father," Li Gong spoke, praising Lin Lee''s appearance. Then he gestured at his wife and little daughter and introduced them.


    "This is my wife Gao Lin and my daughter Lu Li."


    "Thank you; nice to meet you all; my name is Yuan Yi," Lin Lee replied and thanked Li Gong and then nced at his wife and little daughter and nodded toward them also.


    While he was surprised feeling the malice and jealousy-filled emotion released by the Gao Lon, the wife of Li Gong,


    ''Why is this female so malicious and hateful towards me? It''s as if I have killed her father in front of her eyes.'' Lin Lee thought to himself but didn''t show anything on his face and sat down silently beside his mother.


    "Now little Yi is here; we can talk about our children''s marriage, although it would be good if brother Yuan were here, but it''s an urgent matter; that''s why we came uninvited. Please forgive me."


    Li Gong then nced at Yi Yun and spoke solemnly and sped his hand toward her with a respectful expression on his face.


    Yi Yun was startled; her heart sank, feeling her bad premonition was going to be a reality. She suppressed her restlessness and then clenched her fist tightly, hidden in her sleeves, and bowed a little, replying,


    "Please don''t embarrass me, Mr. Gong. My husband called you brother. You can visit our mansion anytime." She replied with a calm expression on her face.


    Li Gong nodded and then nced at Lin Lee and then sighed, turned, and said,


    "We are here to annul the marriage contract between our children, although it was decided by both of us, but children''s happiness matters the most. My daughter won''t be able to adjust here, and I am also concerned about her safety here. I hope you understand; this is thepensation from our Li family as an apology. Please ept it."


    Li Gong spoke and put three white, green, and blue jades on the table with an apologetic expression, while his wife was looking at Yi Yun with a gloating smile; only Li Lu was looking at Lin Lee''s calm and emotionless expression.


    ''Why is he so quiet?'' Li Lu thought to herself, looking at him,


    Meanwhile, Lin Lee nced at Li Gong and his mother and then nced at the three jades on the table.


    ''Is this the divorce stream? Will I receive a plug-in after this encounter? It is possible. Probably upon my arrival, this chaos realm selected me as a protagonist.''


    Lin Lee thought to himself calmly, surprising Li Gong and his wife, their brows raised seeing both mother and son weren''t reacting.


    While Yi Yun was sitting silently, but her heart was burning with anger inside, clenching her fist tightly, she almost embedded her nails into her palm.


    She raised her head with a little redness in her eyes and wanted to say something; suddenly her expression calmed down, and she nced at Lin Lee, sitting beside her, then she nced at her son, who patted her arm.


    "I ept the marriage annulment; please take back these jade tokens; we don''t ept gifts on such asions." Lin Lee spoke instead of his mother, looking at Li Gong and his wife,


    "You, how can you talk to your elder like this?" Instantly, Li Gong''s wife shouted, looking at him after seeing Lin Lee reject theirpensation and wanting to say something while pointing at him angrily.


    "Gao Lin, stop it," Li Gong spoke, looking at his wife. Instantly, she fell silent, didn''t say anything, retracted her hand, and then turned her head away with a snort.


    "Yes, Mr. Li Gong, please take these jades away; we don''t need them; we ept the marriage contract annulment." Yi Yun also spoke firmly, then nced at Lin Lee and patted his head with a calm expression.


    ''Little Lin Lee, I am sorry for everything. I am not strong like your father.'' She thought to herself, suppressing the sadness in her heart,n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Li Gong nced at both of them and then took a deep breath, sighed, picked up the jades, and then stood up from the couch.


    "I will take my leave. If you need anything or encounter any trouble, please visit the Li House. I will always be there for you." Li Gong spoke and then, along with his wife and daughter, left the mansion.


    "Stay here; I will see to the guest." Yi Yun spoke and then followed them toward the outside direction of the mansion.


    Lin Lee nodded and then nced at their back, ''Well, it''s better that I should stay away from the trouble of the marriage contract.''


    He thought and then turned around and walked toward the back hall.


    After a while, outside in the carriage,


    "I told you to not visit these ungrateful people; they should have just epted thepensation humbly," Gao Lin spoke with annoyance, looking at her husband.


    "Don''t worry; it''s their right to be angry; at least they were still respectful till the end. Also, Yuan Yi is not here; it''s good everything settled quietly. You should stop mentioning it again."


    Li Gong spoke, his brow furrowed, looking at his wife,


    "Hmph," Gao Lin hummed and turned her head away, looking at her daughter, who was looking in the outside direction, seeing a few horses with their guards moving around the carriage.


    ''How can we leave it just like that? I must show these ungrateful people the consequences of offending me; also, it''s good they know their ce sooner...''


    She thought to herself, her eyes flickered with a scheming light.
