I fought back after reselling my engagement
Chapter 21: Shocked to Hear He Was Engaged
When she heard about it last night, she ran to Miss Su's attic and scolded her severely. She found it strange that the Le Dahou couple came to the Su family just to pick a pleasing girl from their grandchildren to marry as their daughter-in-law.
The second Miss Su was hiding from everyone, and the third Miss Su was behaving just fine, which was not pleasing to her eyes.
The first wife's family had known about this for a long time. They said that the arrangement was made by the elders of the two families a few years ago. The Rong family had chosen someone, but the Su family had not decided on a candidate, leaving room for the Rong family to choose someone they liked.
Zhen Zhen kept asking, "He's engaged! He's engaged... How did he get engaged? This marriage is not ours, it shouldn't be in our family?"
As he asked, his eyes turned red and tears fell down. Suddenly, his body softened and he sat on the ground like a madman. "Why is he engaged? It was arranged by Old Master Su and Old Marquis Rong. This should be my marriage, this should be my..."
How can it become yours? Old Master Su is arranging a marriage for his granddaughter, what does it have to do with you? You are not Old Master Su's bloodline granddaughter. You are really crazy.
Old Madam Zhen felt ashamed. Ping'er went to help her, but Zhen Zhen pushed her away and looked up at Zhen Su: "Did you do this? This marriage should be mine? I have been delayed until now because of this marriage. It must be you who did this?"
"Big sister, what are you talking about? I just found out that my third cousin is engaged to Prince Rong. How can a junior like me know about a marriage arranged by the elders?"
"You're still pretending. Elder Su clearly told Dad that he had arranged a marriage for you before he took up his post. The man is Prince Rong Wei..."
The old lady stood up suddenly. Wasn't it embarrassing enough? She raised her hand and slapped Zhen Zhen to interrupt her words. She pretended to touch her forehead with her hand and said, "Ping'er, the young lady has a fever. She is confused. Help her down quickly and let her maid accompany her back to the mansion to recuperate."
What nonsense is she talking about? The second girl said she didn't know, but she was still talking nonsense. In an occasion like today, she can't talk nonsense. She must be severely punished later.
If Old Master Su arranges a marriage for Zhen Su, what does it have to do with her? Zhen Su's fiancé will really become Zhen Zhen's man.
It turned out that Zhen Yuan knew about the engagement two years ago when his grandfather had a long talk with him. Yu Shi got the details from Zhen Yuan and then decided to give the engagement to her own daughter.
Zhen Su's "reselling of engagement" directly disrupted all the plans of Yu's mother and daughter. The one who was engaged to Rong Wei became the second daughter of the Su family's eldest wife, and had nothing to do with Zhen Zhen.
Su Jingzhai was the first-rank governor of Hunan Province, and Su Dajiu was a fifth-rank official, whose family background was much more decent than Zhen Zhen's. Zhen Zhen's biological mother, Yu, was a concubine's successor, and the Yu family had long been impoverished and had to beg for money everywhere. The two brothers had less than a hundred acres of good land, and they became a small rural farming and reading family.
The old lady apologized, "I'm sorry, she complained of a headache yesterday. I didn't allow her to come, but she insisted. Now it's getting worse. Her head is hot and she's talking nonsense."
Ping'er helped Zhen Zhen up, but Zhen Zhen was still murmuring, "The marriage is mine, why is it engaged? The marriage is not in our family, and the engagement is not Zhen Su's? Mother promised to help me get it back, Prince Rong is mine, and the engagement is mine..."
Although the voice was not loud, the ladies and wives present heard it clearly in their hearts. Although he seemed confused, what he said was very likely true. The second aunt's heart turned again and again. She had never heard of this before, and the third daughter of the eldest wife was suddenly engaged. There must be something strange here.
Zhen Su pretended not to understand and bowed, saying, "Grandma, my elder sister is sick and confused. I'll go take a look."
"Take Rong'er to talk to your sisters. The eldest girl has maids to serve her." said the old lady.
If she had known the elder girl would be like this, she would not have brought her out to embarrass herself.
Zhen Su responded "yes" and left the pavilion gracefully without losing his manners. He and Zhen Rong went to look for Miss Su Er, hand in hand.
There were several tables under the willow trees by the river, each filled with fruit snacks and tea, with people chatting at each table. Zhen Su bowed and called out, "Hello, second cousin!"
Miss Su returned half the gift.
Zhen Su said, "This is my fourth sister Zhen Rong. She just came from Jing County yesterday."
Miss Su smiled and said, "Your Zhen family is really blessed by the local conditions. Each one of them is so pretty and charming, just like a fairy."
Zhen Rong bowed and said, "Hello, second cousin."
Miss Su Er was aloof and arrogant, but it was a piece of cake for her to deal with such situations. She made Zhen Rong smile, "Well, seeing you makes me feel better. They say fairies can make people feel better, it's true."
As they were talking, a lady in gorgeous clothes called out, "Zhen Er, come here quickly! We are here."
Miss Su Er looked over and asked, "When did you meet Princess Fanghua?"
"My third cousin introduced me." Zhen Su said casually.
Second Miss Su has never heard her third cousin say that they are familiar with each other, so since she called Zhen Su over, she must be a recognized friend.
Zhen Su brought Zhen Rong to this table. Sitting at the table were Zhou Yiqing, Princess Fanghua, and a woman wearing a six-tailed phoenix crown. Zhen Rong heard her grandmother talk about the rules of the capital city. The status of the noble lady might be higher than that of Princess Fanghua. She was so scared that she dared not speak.
Zhen Su bowed and said, "Hello, Princess Fanghua! Hello, Miss Zhou! This is my fourth sister Zhen Rong, who just arrived in the capital."
Princess Fanghua grabbed a fruit and said, "Little Furong, eat the fruit. Your Zhen family is really good at making beauties. Your second sister is already pretty enough, and you look just like her biological sister. Standing together, you are like a pair of beautiful flowers."
Zhen Rong was delighted to be praised for her beauty and took the fruit, "Thank you, Princess!"
The lady in gorgeous clothes asked, "Fanghua collected two of your paintings and calligraphy. Are they really painted by you?"
The lady in gorgeous clothes was wearing a rose-red palace dress with gold-painted patterns, phoenix feathers fluttering in the wind, and the gorgeous palace brocade was golden and red, which made her jade-like face look like a rosy cloud, dazzling the eyes; a six-tailed phoenix crown in the shape of a golden plum was embedded in her flying fairy bun, her plum-shaped makeup was beautiful, her eyebrows were long and her lips were red, a little smile bloomed at the corners of her lips, and she was a little shy in her jade-like smoothness.
This person must be a princess. She wears such gorgeous palace attire and such an ostentatious six-tailed phoenix crown. Only a princess, but also a favored princess can dress like this.
"I drew these when I had nothing to do. I'm sorry to embarrass you." Zhen Su said.
Another noble lady said, "Cousin, I don't quite believe it."
Fanghua said, "We saw her painting with our own eyes that day. It was her maid who said that she didn't paint as well as she did at home. My maid Qing'er went with her. There are many calligraphy and paintings in her boudoir. It's true that her style and brushwork are the same as when she painted on the spot, but her style is more elegant and her artistic conception is more beautiful."
"Yiqing, prepare your brushes and ink. I will not test her paintings, but her calligraphy. If it is good, I will let her join the Noble Ladies Painting and Calligraphy Society."
Zhou Yiqing joked: "Zhen Er, work hard!"
Soon, a maidservant and a girl set up a desk and prepared pens and ink. Zhen Su walked to the desk and said, "Princess, Princess, no matter how good or bad my writing is, I will not join the calligraphy and painting club. Please understand."
