Chapter 1709 - Chapter 1709: Leaving the City

The moment he left the room, Ye Shikai still couldn't help turning back for a look. Mi Wen was crying—more accurately, she was shedding tears. The tears traced down her cheeks, and in her eyes there was a look of unwillingness, and hatred as well. Don't even talk about ancient times—even in modern times, a groom running away on the day of the wedding is an immense "blow" to the bride. Not only that, the bride might later be subjected to gossip and ridicule, becoming a laughingstock among relatives and friends. What's more, Mi Wen was a dignified lord in her own right. After tomorrow, the matter of "Ye Shikai fleeing the marriage, Mi Wen cruelly abandoned" would likely spread through every street and alley of Linxiang City. This was precisely where Ye Shikai's guilt lay. No matter what, choosing to run away on the wedding night was a "brutal blow" to Mi Wen.
