Chapter 126 Zhang Huaian Breaks Off the Engagement
After a while, a nanny walked in with an embarrassed look on her face.
She leaned over and whispered something in Old Madam Shen's ear, and Old Madam Shen became so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched.
She held the cane and slowly closed her eyes.
"First, lock up the Third Miss in the woodshed, and tomorrow you and I will go to the pig cage together."
When Madam Shen's cold voice fell, Lin immediately knelt down.
"Madam, Shu'er must have been harmed by someone, so she lost her innocence. Please spare Shu'er for the sake of your daughter-in-law's pregnancy..."
It would have been fine if Lin didn't mention the pregnancy, but as soon as she mentioned it, Madam Shen's eyes suddenly became sharp.
She stood up from the chair with the help of a cane.
"Don't worry. I'll put her in the pig cage for two hours tomorrow. Whether she lives or dies is entirely up to her."
She looked at Nanny Wang beside her.
"Go prepare paper and pen and send a letter to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion."
"We, the Shen family, voluntarily cancel the engagement with the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion."
As soon as Madam Shen finished speaking, Lin asked in disbelief: "Madam...you said...cancel the engagement?"
"How can this be possible!"
"This engagement was made when the master was alive. How can it be cancelled just like that?"
"What's more, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion doesn't know about what happened today, so it can be kept secret."
Old Madam Shen looked at Lin and almost laughed out of anger.
She cursed: "How shameless."
"Shen Shu's body is ruined, is it possible that she can still marry Zhang Huaian?"
She knew that Lin attached great importance to the marriage contract with Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, almost to the point of risking her life.
Shen Mi also knew that Lin wanted Shen Shu to marry Zhang Huaian so much in order to set up a match for the prince.
Zhang Huaian is now an official in the court, this is one of the reasons.
Secondly, the Zhang family is the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion, and like the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion, they have a token that can dispatch an army.
Therefore, Lin tried her best to snatch this marriage that originally belonged to Shen Li.
Their plan was a good one, but unfortunately they underestimated the Zhang family's attitude towards unclean women.
Madam Shen asked quietly, "How do you know that the Zhang family doesn't know about this?"
"You are so shameless that you can even say such a shameless thing."
"Or..." Old Madam Shen glanced at Lin's belly.
Lin was immediately frightened.
"You too?"
Lin immediately shook her head, "Madam, the master is gone, and you are suspicious of your daughter-in-law like this?"
"My daughter-in-law has a miserable life. The master passed away when the baby was only two months old... wuwu... Now Shu'er's engagement is gone again."
"How can I live in the Shen family? Why is my life so miserable... woo woo."
The more Lin spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and Old Madam Shen became annoyed watching her.
She said to the two maids, "Why don't you drag the Third Miss away!"
Shen Shu's face turned pale and her whole body shivered.
"Grandma, I won't put myself in the pig cage. Grandma, spare my life!"
Her desperate screams spread throughout the front hall, and several maids dragged her out of the front hall without any courtesy and went to the woodshed.
"Shu'er!" Lin got up from the ground and went to the woodshed with the help of two maids.
It's a bit stuffy in summer.
The sky was dark and it started to rain heavily after a while.
Shen Mi was sitting in the front hall. After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, a figure came in from outside the door not long after.
The person who came was a concierge.
The doorman walked up to Old Madam Shen.
"Madam, Madam Zhang and Prince Zhang from the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion are here."
As soon as the doorman finished speaking, Shen Li stood up from the chair.
"Grandma, it's getting late today. Li'er should go back to her room and rest first."
Madam Shen nodded, "Go ahead."
Only then did Shen Li return to Qingfeng Courtyard with the help of her maid.
In the front hall, only Shen Mi, Old Madam Shen, and some servants were left.
Old Madam Shen looked at the concierge and sighed, "Let them come. Those who are supposed to come will come."
After a while, several people came in from the darkness.
The man in the middle was dressed in red and had a handsome face. He helped an old woman in.
The old woman had a kind face and looked at Madam Shen with a smile on her face.
Old Madam Shen quickly stood up and forced an awkward smile.
"Madam Zhang, it's so late. I'm asking you to run."
Madam Zhang slowly sat down next to Madam Shen, pursed her lips and looked at Shen Mi opposite her.
"I came here tonight because I have something to discuss with the old lady."
Madam Shen naturally understood the purpose of Madam Zhang's visit, which was to cancel the engagement.
As expected, Madam Zhang took out a letter of withdrawal of engagement from her sleeve, placed it on the table beside her, and pushed it towards Madam Shen.
She smiled and said, "Now, An'er has only been in the government for a few years and has not yet established a firm foothold."
"This year is An'er's zodiac year, so he can't marry the Third Miss."
"An'er said that he didn't want to delay the lifelong happiness of the Third Miss, so he simply cancelled the engagement between the Shens. This was also an explanation to the two children."
Old Madam Shen picked up the letter of divorce on the table and looked at it for a moment.
She knew that Madam Zhang's statement that she would not delay Shen Shu's happiness was merely a way of giving Shen Shu face.
As for the reason for breaking off the engagement, everyone knows it.
For the sake of Shen family's reputation, Old Madam Shen was naturally willing to cancel the engagement.
What's more, in Dayan, if an unmarried woman had physical contact with a man, it would be done without a matchmaker and it could not be allowed to be seen in public.
She just hoped that this matter could be settled as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen took the letter and slowly put it into her sleeve.
She forced a smile on her face: "It's better to quit."
"Prince Zhang is a handsome man, but after all, we Shu'er is not worthy of him."
Zhang Huaian, who was sitting on a chair nearby, said with a smile, "Old Madam Shen is too kind. I am not worthy of Third Miss Shen."
"I believe that Miss Shen San will be able to find a husband of your dreams in the future."
Shen Mi's expression remained calm as she drank her tea.
After Madam Shen and Madam Zhang chatted for a while, Zhang Huaian helped Madam Zhang out of the Shen Mansion.
The two got on the carriage and headed for Zhang's house.
In the carriage, Zhang Huaian showed a long-lost smile at the corner of his lips.
He looked at Old Madam Zhang who was sitting beside him.
"Grandma, thanks to our visit to the Princess's Mansion today, my grandson can marry Li'er now that his engagement with Third Miss Shen has been cancelled."
Old Madam Zhang glanced at him.
"If you want to marry Shen Li, you have to go through your father and mother. You have to think about how to convince them."
Zhang Huaian shook his red robe and raised the corners of his lips slightly, making his originally handsome face look particularly vivid.
He smiled and said, "Of course I thought of it."
"I believe that my father and mother will take the initiative to come to my house and ask for Shen Li's hand in marriage."
Old Madam Zhang looked at Zhang Huaian with some confusion.
At this moment, Zhang Huaian looked so confident and in control of everything that she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I don't know what method you can come up with to make your father and mother come to propose marriage on their own initiative."
"As for me, I'll just wait and see what happens."
"Shen Li is weak now. Last time I heard she was tortured in prison. Are you really thinking about marrying her?"
Zhang Huaian said firmly: "I will marry her."
