Chapter 1725 -1718: Yang Xianhui’s Engagement is Broken Off

These things, he observed quietly.

But in his heart, he knew she was, at the end of the day, still a woman. So, he brought her a small packet of brown sugar and pressed it into her hand.

“You ladies inevitably face some inconveniences. Brew some in water before bedtime to ease your spirit.”

Ye Hongru, with his refined features, said with a gentle expression.

Lin Yu’s heart felt warm, but a sudden thought crossed her mind, “Isn’t this against military regulations? Should I… maybe I shouldn’t take it. I haven’t felt unwell these past couple of days.”

Women were not as physically strong as men, and each month there were inevitably a few days of weakness, though not to the point of frailty.

Yet, she couldn’t rely on Ye Hongru to give her special treatment every month.

Ye Hongru rarely gifted her anything, and now she wouldn’t accept it. His ears reddened slightly, “There’s no rule in the military that forbids soldiers from drinking brown sugar water… If you feel unwell, just take it!”

“Rest assured, I uphold military discipline more strictly than you do.”

With these words, Lin Yu finally felt at ease.

She accepted the brown sugar, turned and tucked it beneath her pillow. Then, returning to Ye Hongru, her cheeks flushed as she murmured, “Thank you, General.”

She had followed Ye Hongru for a long time and naturally understood his tenderness and thoughtfulness.

“Where’s Yang Xianhui?” Ye Hongru suddenly thought of something and asked.

“Sister Hui? She took half a day’s leave, saying there was an urgent matter at home.” Lin Yu, staying within the military camp, was still unaware of the upheaval occurring beyond.

Ye Hongru sighed softly, “She may be facing difficulties.”

He and Lin Aotian had traveled to various places to select candidates, promoting the women’s martial examination. For three years, they had traversed countless hardships. Only now had they brought the women into the military camp, and yet troubles arose again.

Lin Aotian had come to speak with him today, expressing concern that Yang Xianhui might not withstand the pressure from her family, fearing that she might lose hope and falter.

“What happened to Sister Hui?” Lin Yu asked with concern. But before the words were fully uttered, the tent flap was lifted.

Yang Xianhui entered, dressed in simple black civilian attire, her face streaked with tears. In her arms, she was clutching a bundle of things.

Lin Yu hurried forward to support her. “Sister Hui, what’s wrong? This dress… why did you tear it apart?”

In her arms was an especially beautiful floral dress.

The fabric was exquisite, soft to the touch, with embroidery that was delicately intricate.

Yang Xianhui had once said she didn’t own many dresses and was rather fond of this particular one.

But now, she had personally torn it to shreds.

“What doesn’t belong to me should be destroyed.”

Yang Xianhui touched her face, her tear marks already cold.

After drying her face, she picked up a cloth and began to wipe her sword, her hoarse voice carrying the rawness of someone who had just cried, “I will train diligently and keep moving forward!”

Lin Yu didn’t understand. She turned to Ye Hongru, who shook his head at her, signaling not to speak at this moment.

But Fu Yuan suddenly burst in.

She was usually reserved and quiet, but now she shouted with emotion, “That heartless man wants to break off the engagement with you, and you simply agreed like that?

If an engagement must be broken, it should be you who forsakes him!”

“Break off the engagement?”

Lin Yu froze in shock.

She suddenly remembered that of the three of them, it was only the eighteen-year-old Yang Xianhui who was engaged to be married.

It was said to be an arranged marriage set by their parents, a childhood betrothal. She and her fiancé had grown up together and shared a deep affection.

They had originally planned to wed this year, but Yang Xianhui’s determination to join the military had delayed the plans.

Now…

What she had waited for was a broken engagement?

“Deputy General Yang, matters of marriage are not for the military to decide. However, if you need time to return home and handle the situation, I can request leave for you from Great General Lin.”
