When the old lady heard what Jiang Chen said, she hesitated in her heart. If the two were compared, she would naturally choose to let her grandson, who was the number one scholar, stay.

It wasn't that she disagreed with Jiang Chen's decision to break off the engagement, but she considered her friendship with the Liu family.

In the end, she had no choice but to say to Jiang Chen:

"Who makes you my grandson? Since you don't like the lady of the Liu family, grandma can't wrong you. If you want to quit, then just quit this marriage. But this will be a bit unfair to Liu Guogong. "

Jiang Chen didn't expect the old lady to agree so quickly. In order not to make her feel guilty, he said to her:

"Grandma, you don't have to feel sorry for the Liu family. In fact, they were the first to propose the divorce. If you think about it this way, you'll feel better."

Liu Ruyi, who was standing by, was secretly happy. Last year, she and Cui had already agreed to allocate her daughter Liu Ruyan to Jiang Feng and let Jiang Chen marry his concubine Liu Yiyi.

It was originally something that the two people had agreed upon secretly, but Cui, who had always been proactive, suddenly stopped mentioning it.This made her murmur in her heart.

She made several appointments with Mr. Cui, thinking of talking to her about this matter again, but she found various reasons to refuse.

Because Jiang Feng was sprinting for the scientific examination and had no time to take care of this matter.Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen is the one who wants to break off the engagement now. Let’s see what reason Cui has to reject her then.

The old lady kept her promise and sent it to the Liu Mansion the next day with the birth dates of the two families and a letter written by herself.

At this time, in the Liu Mansion, Liu Zhi had gone to the Yamen, and only Cui was at home.

When she took the letter written to her by the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the birthday of her daughter Liu Hanyan in her hand, she was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

When she went to the Hou Mansion to cancel the marriage, the old lady was determined not to cancel the marriage. She never thought that now that Jiang Chen had been admitted to the top exam, the first thing she would do was to cancel the marriage.

She ordered the girl beside her to call her daughter Liu Hanyan over.When she told her that the Marquis wanted to cancel the engagement, Liu Hanyan suddenly burst into tears.

While crying, she said to Cui:

"I blamed you in the beginning. Who asked you to go to the Hou Mansion to break off the engagement first? If it weren't for you, how could they break off the engagement for me today? If this matter gets out, how can I go out to meet people in the future? I don't agree, I I don’t want to break off the engagement even if I die.”

Cui looked at her daughter who was almost going crazy, comforted her and said:

"Daughter, it's not something you agree with or disagree with now. It's the Marquis Mansion that wants to break off the engagement for us. You see, they have returned your birthday and horoscope. We can't do it even if we don't agree. I didn't expect that how could this happen? It’s like this.”

After Liu Hanyan heard what her mother said, she immediately stopped crying and said to Cui:

"Mother, can you go to the Hou Mansion and beg the old lady? Just say it, just say that I don't agree to cancel the engagement. I was born as a member of their Jiang family, and I will be a ghost of the Jiang family when I die. If they dare to take the opportunity to cancel the engagement again, If they force me, I will die in front of them.”

After Mrs. Cui heard what Liu Hanyan said, she shook her head and said to her:

"Silly boy, how can you think like this? People don't want you anymore, and you still want to die for him. You must not do such a stupid thing. When your father comes back, we will discuss it carefully. Let’s see what to do about this.”

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Liu Zhi came back from the Yamen, and Mrs. Cui told Liu Zhi about the Marquis's divorce.

Liu Zhi was also surprised after hearing this.He originally thought that when he had the opportunity, he would talk to Jiang Chen about the marriage.

Unexpectedly, things happened so suddenly. Jiang Mansion immediately wanted to cancel the engagement.This really caught him off guard.He said to Cui helplessly:

"Since the Hou Mansion has returned all the cigarette-containing birthday cards, we have no choice but to return Jiang Chen's. In this way, our two families will no longer have anything to do with each other. Do you think there is any other way besides this? ."

When Liu Hanyan heard what his father said, there was no more hope, and he burst into tears.She knelt down and begged her father:

"Father, my daughter is begging you. Please help your daughter this time. Go to the Hou Mansion and talk to the old lady. Just tell her that I don't agree to cancel the engagement. If she doesn't change her mind, I will die. They look. I don’t believe she won’t change her mind, even if I beg you, okay.”

Liu Zhi let out a long sigh and said to Cui and her daughter:

"If I had known today, why bother? In the past, who was seeking death and living, and wanted to break off the engagement. Now the retribution is coming soon, and I can't just let you talk about the matter. Now I see that Jiang Chen is the number one scholar, and he refuses to retreat. I just went to the Hou Mansion, so what can I say?"

Liu Hanyan still refused to give up and said to his father:

"Father, if you don't go, how do you know what the result will be? What if the old lady cares about the old friendship between the two families and won't back out. Even if I beg you."

Liu Zhi stamped his feet angrily, looked at the mother and daughter, and said helplessly

"I have never asked for help, let alone because of this incident. I am really mad at you. I can't let go of this face and go to see the old lady of the Hou Mansion. Which one of you is willing to go? Go, I won’t go anyway.”

Mrs. Cui didn't go when she saw Liu Zhi. Just when she was about to complain about him, she saw Liu Huaian coming back from the Hanlin Academy.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Ms. Cui immediately came to her son and begged him:

"Huai'an, you are back just now. You have a good relationship with Jiang Chen. You go to the Marquis Mansion to persuade him not to break off the engagement with your sister. Now you are the only one who is most suitable to persuade Jiang Chen, as long as he agrees not to break off the engagement. , we agree to whatever conditions you want.”

Liu Huaian glanced at Liu Hanyan in front of him and said to her:

"There is no need to persuade Jiang Chen about this matter. Breaking off the engagement is just a matter of time. No man likes a woman who is restless. Ask Han Yan what she has done. Don't treat others as fools. You Jiang Chen knows everything about Jiang Feng. Not to mention that he is now the number one scholar, he is just a commoner, and this marriage that he has made since he was young must be cancelled."

As soon as Liu Huaian finished speaking, Liu Hanyan became anxious. She hurriedly defended herself:

"Brother, what are you talking about? Jiang Feng and I are innocent, so there's no need for compromise."
