I fought back after reselling my engagement

Not long after, the maid of the aunt-in-law brought the silver bills. Zhen Su thought that this was the foundation of his future life and he could not live without silver. Three thousand taels could buy a thousand acres of medium-quality farmland or six hundred acres of superior farmland for a farmer, and two hundred taels could buy a small courtyard with a shop in the town.

The eldest aunt gave the silver note, and she kept the marriage certificate and the token of love. She never expected that her second daughter would get such a good marriage that fell from the sky.

Miss Su San was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

My aunt said, "Susu, your uncle is watching the dragon boat race on the third floor of Junlin Tower today. You can go with him."

"Thank you for the invitation, Aunt. I'll stay here and wait for Chunyan. She will be back soon."

Miss Su San said, "My cousin has released Chunyan from the list of good citizens and has gone to the government office."

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so there is no need to work in the government office." said my aunt.

Zhen Su smiled and said, "Normally I don't have to do this, but this year is different. The emperor has issued a general amnesty because of the victory in the north, and the selection of concubines for next year has been cancelled. Recently, many noble ladies have been engaged, and the official matchmaking office and the household registration department are very busy, so they have officials on duty."

The aunt said, "It seems that your father told you."

She heard it from Lu Tiezhu. Every time Lu Tiezhu came, he always had a lot to say to Chunyan.

Zhen Su hadn't seen Zhen Yuan for a long time. He was a civil servant in the Ministry of Justice's Reduction Department, a sixth-rank civil servant responsible for reviewing the pardons and reductions in cases in various provinces and currently under trial. Many cases from last year were only reported in the spring of this year. The superiors wanted to complete these tasks as soon as possible, so he left home early and returned late every day.

The aunt said, "Okay, you wait here for Chunyan, don't wander around, this place is secluded, it's not safe for a single girl like you, there's a dragon boat race today, the beggars must be out again, be careful."

The stepmother has three children of her own, so how could she really teach Zhen Su? It was good enough not to embarrass or instigate her. Zhen Su knew that the marriage could not be saved, so it was better to exchange it for silver than to let the stepmother get it for a bargain. Even if she was resold to her uncle's cousin, she would never let Zhen Zhen get any benefits this time, so that the mother and son could rely on her. Even if she showed off her power, she would not make her grandfather seriously ill because of the marriage.

If the engagement was given to my cousin, my grandfather would know that even if he was angry, he would not be sick from anger, because after all, they are family members and his grandchildren.

"Thank you for your concern, aunt." Zhen Su bowed and saw off his aunt and Miss Su San.

Miss Su San had a smile on her face that would never fade away. She was happier than eating honey. The son of Marquis Leda, Rong Wei, was both civil and military, and was handsome. She had charmed countless noble ladies in the capital. Such a son-in-law was hers.

My aunt said, "Your grandfather arranged this marriage for you from the beginning. Don't let me hear any more gossip."

"Mother, I know what is good and what is bad. If this matter gets out, our family's reputation will be ruined, and the reputation of the Rong Mansion will also be ruined. This is a marriage that my grandfather arranged for me out of love for me."

The aunt nodded and warned the servants and maids behind her that they could not reveal a single word of the truth and could only insist that it was an arrangement made between the old man of the Su family and the old Lord Rong of the Le Da Marquis Mansion. It was a true story that could not be questioned.

Zhen Su made sure that there was no one around, took out the silver bills, and counted them with burning eyes, "One thousand, twelve thousand, fifteen thousand..." After counting, he took out a silver bill for one hundred taels, "It looks different, can it be fake?" He counted further and found another one that was different. The quantity was correct, but the bank numbers of the two silver bills were different, and the seals on them were also different.

Zhen Su looked at it again and again, and was suspicious. "This is a life-saving thing. If I get a fake one, I will cry to death. It doesn't look fake. But it's not a banknote from Daqi Baotong Bank. Which bank is this Hengtong? There is such a bank in Beijing. Will Baotong exchange it?"

She took out a brocade bag tied around her neck, stuffed the silver bills into it, and put the other two separately in her sleeve pocket. After hiding the silver bills, she sat at the table to drink tea.
