I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 4: The Engagement Is Hot 2

In Aunt Meng's memory, when she was still a maid, the old housekeeper was already an old man. Now her daughter Chunyan is about to get married, and the old housekeeper is so old that he is blurry-eyed and hunchbacked. "He has been lying in bed since the beginning of winter last year and can't stand steadily. Fortunately, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren around him are filial."

The old housekeeper is in his seventies. His sons and daughters have all died. He watched my grandfather grow up and was the most capable old man left to my grandfather by my great-grandfather. He has made contributions and worked hard for the Su family. Because he was old, my grandfather did not take him to the office, but kept him in the old house of the Su Mansion to retire.

The box was her nightmare in her previous life. It was a crime to possess a treasure. The box contained the marriage contract that Yu and the eldest daughter Zhen Zhen had been planning for many years. It was something that her father and grandfather had agreed on privately. How did they know the secret in the box in their previous life?

Chunyan was afraid that Aunt Meng would not leave and would talk about giving money to the Lu family again, "Mother, the young lady has been thinking about flowers and sugar-coated rice dumplings for a long time today."

Aunt Meng replied, "Miss, I will go pick some flowers to make fresh flower and rock sugar dumplings."

Chunyan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhen Su's Tingyu Pavilion has a housekeeper, a big maid, and two little maids. Earlier, there were two big maids, and last year the wife decided to match them up. Later, she said she wanted to fill the gap, but Zhen Su refused.

After waking up three years ago, Zhen Su suddenly became interested in calligraphy and painting. Her grandfather, Old Su, took it as a pleasure to teach her calligraphy and painting, and taught her very attentively for more than a year.

After finishing the painting, Zhen Su held it in his hands, feeling very satisfied. He had used up all his talents from both past and present lives. "Chun Yan, hang it up in the flower hall."

Chunyan agreed sweetly, holding the painting, and looked at it with satisfaction.

After all, it was somewhat different from the previous life. In the previous life, the box was delivered by the old butler of the Su family. She still remembered that when the old butler handed the box to her, his face was very serious, and he repeatedly reminded her, "Su Su'er, this is the most precious gift your grandfather and mother left for you..." It was a marriage contract carefully arranged for her, but after the old butler left, Yu's mother and daughter already knew that he was here to deliver the marriage certificate.

In this life, the old housekeeper did not come to visit, and the box was brought back by Aunt Meng. No one knew about it, and Mrs. Yu should not know that the marriage certificate was in her hands.

Zhen Su's biological mother died of illness when she was only five years old. Afterwards, her grandfather sent someone to take her to the Su family, where she attended the Su family's girls' school and learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting with her cousins.

Two years ago, my grandfather Su Jingzhai was promoted to the first-rank local official. He summoned my father Zhen Yuan to the Su Mansion to discuss matters. That day, Zhen Yuan promised in front of my grandfather that he would treat her well, and she followed her father back to the Zhen Mansion.

On the day her grandfather left Beijing, she did not dare to cry. Aunt Meng said: When a relative is going far away, one should prepare some wine and say farewell with a smile. Crying is the most unlucky. She watched her grandfather and his uncle's family go farther and farther away, until she could no longer see them.

Zhen Su held the brocade box, on which hung a beautiful copper-inlaid jade lock, and the key was on her neck, an equally beautiful copper-inlaid jade key. She had heard from her uncle that this was a brocade box passed down from her grandmother's family, and even the key was specially ordered. The brocade box contained a hot potato - her engagement.

If this is revealed, I'm afraid I can no longer hide it. My father must have known about it a long time ago. After my mother passed away due to illness, my grandfather took great pains to arrange an excellent marriage for her - the prince of Le Dahou Mansion, in order to let her soul rest in peace.

This prince is quite famous in the capital. He passed the imperial examination for a scholar at the age of fourteen and the imperial examination for a military scholar at the age of seventeen. Now at the age of eighteen, he is a sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor and a famous figure in front of the old emperor.

In her previous life, Zhen Su's stepmother and elder sister were both furious because of this marriage. In order to win the marriage, she used a trick to lure her stepmother's nephew into the mansion and framed her for having fallen in love with her cousin. Not only did her cousin not explain, but in order to force her to submit, he turned black into white and said that she seduced him.

The third sister Zhen Zhu pretended to "accidentally" discover a pile of their correspondence, which were all forged by her stepmother and were extremely disgusting. Her coming-of-age banquet was a disgrace, and her stepmother used her eloquence to snatch the marriage from Le Dahou Mansion to her eldest sister. Her father thought that instead of having a girl from the Su family marry into Le Dahou Mansion, it would be better for his eldest daughter to marry, and he could also become the father-in-law of Le Dahou's son.
