I Gave Birth to a Cub without Telling the Head Assistant - Chapter 8.1

Chapter 8.1
Ruan Liyun was initially checking accounts in Zhuangzi, a handful of miles away from Yangzhou. All of a sudden, she heard the news that Liu Chengji had become the champion scholar, and she was so cheerful that she didn’t know what to do!
[TL notes: Ruan Liyun is the eldest sister among three sisters.]
‘The third sister’s hardships finally came to an end; now she can live a happy life!’ Ruan Liyun thought happily.
[Tl notes: The Ruan family has five children. Ruan Liyun is the second child, and Ruan Longling is the third child. So she is referred to as the third sister by other siblings.]
Ruan Liyun quickly requested somebody to prepare the horse and drive the carriage, and she rushed to Yangzhou. Along the way, she was considering how to send out invitations, how to choose auspicious times, and how to prepare for the wedding banquet.
But when she returned to her parents’ home, as soon as she got out of the car and met Ruan Yumei, who came forward with teary eyes, her heart fell to the ground.
“Second sister, this marriage isn’t going to work out. Liu Chengji wants to break off the engagement.” Before Ruan Liyun asked, Ruan Yumei said in a sad voice, “Third sister fell sick. She has been sick for three entire days.”
“What?!”
The entryway was not a place for conversation, so Ruan Liyun rushed into the house, holding Ruan Yumei’s hand.
Ruan Yumei kept strolling after her big sister, crying and telling Ruan Liyun everything that happened on the day of the rainstorm.
“… Afterward, when the two of them got closer, I saw that the man holding the umbrella for the third sister was not Liu Chengji, so I opened my mouth and asked, “Where is brother Chengji?””
She recalled Ruan Linglong’s expression that day. Her eyes were extremely dim, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were swollen, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
“The third sister murmured something in a low voice, saying that her marriage with Liu Chengji had ended. Later, I don’t know whether it was because of grief or because she caught the cold, and she has been sick until now.”
‘The third sister encompasses a resolved mood and will never let go of anybody or anything as long as she recognises it. Over a long time, the men who sought after her were like crucian carp crossing the waterway, counting numerous capable children from highborn families, but her heart was given to Liu Chengji, and she never thought of another man. Who knew that this marriage would not happen in the end?’
All the love was wasted! Who could not be sad? Who couldn’t be sad? What’s more, someone as strong as Ruan Longling also met that tragedy!
The more Ruan Liyun thought about it, the more scared she became. She immediately lifted up her skirt and ran towards Yanfei Pavilion. Unexpectedly, before they reached Yanfei Pavilion, a maidservant ran up from a distance, panting and reporting,
“Liu Chengji arrived right after the second girl came back. He was shouting at the door and wanted to see the boss. After receiving the report from the concierge, the boss had already gone to the front hall.”
“What else is he here to do? Is it because you think it’s not painful enough for Third Sister?”
The two sisters turned around immediately, turned around, and hurried towards the front hall.
Have a nice day!
