When Lu Xiuzhu heard the word "cancel the engagement", he was stunned. He immediately turned around and looked at Old Madam Lu and said, "Grandma, no!"
Madam Lu had been planning to break off the engagement with the Duke of Weiguo's mansion today. Now that things had come to this, the engagement had to be broken off, otherwise, this joke would be in vain. That was why she took the opportunity to bring up the matter of "breaking off the engagement".
I didn't expect that my grandson's soul was bewitched away after just seeing Xie Zhichan once today. Seeing his expression at this moment, I felt very reluctant to let him go.
If he really married this girl, where would this old woman have a place to stay in the Lu Mansion? Instead, she became more determined to cancel the engagement.
She said angrily, "Why not? Everyone in the capital knows that she is the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She is just a wild girl who was thrown into a farm outside the capital and has no one to discipline her. In terms of etiquette and rules, she is worse than the water-boiling maid in my Lu Mansion. It is better to marry her to be the mistress of the house than to marry her to an ordinary girl from an aristocratic family, so that my Lu Mansion will not be laughed at by people on the street in the future."
Mother Xie was very dissatisfied after hearing this and said, "Madam Lu! Even though Ah Yuan grew up on the farm, she is kind-hearted, intelligent and eager to learn. As long as she is well-educated, how can she not be the mistress of the house? Today, she was wronged, so she was angry and didn't care about anything. She is still a little girl, but she has a little girl's mentality. Why can't you tolerate it?"
Lu Xiuzhu immediately agreed, "Grandma, Aunt Xie is right. Ayuan was just wronged for no reason, and she was so angry that she said something she didn't want to say."
Madam Lu was so disappointed that she said angrily, "Brother Zhu, I'm going to say this today. If you are determined to marry this wild girl, then send me back to my hometown in Taiyuan to guard your grandfather's grave!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiuzhu was stunned and dared not say a word. He had just won the top spot in the imperial examination, but now he had to marry a woman his grandmother did not like and send his grandmother who raised him alone back to her hometown. How would he, Lu Xiuzhu, live in Beijing in the future?
He could only look at Xie Zhichan helplessly and aggrievedly, hoping that she would soften her temper, apologize to her grandmother, and let go of today's incident, so that the engagement would not have to be cancelled.
Xie Zhichan had worked so hard to get the water boiling, so how could she let the atmosphere cool down? Wouldn't she have suffered all the slander today in vain?
She reached into her bosom, pulled out Lu Xiuzhu's engagement letter, and slapped him: "Cancel the engagement! I have returned Mr. Lu's engagement letter, and please return mine as well."
Mother Xie looked at Xie Zhichan in disbelief: "A Yuan!"
At this point, she understood everything. No wonder Ah Yuan went to her room last night and tricked her into taking Mr. Lu's engagement letter, saying that he wanted to wait until the weather got warmer and go to Daxingshan Temple to find a monk to compare her horoscopes with Mr. Lu's. So she wanted to cancel the engagement today? !
This girl, why did she make such a big idea without discussing it with her?
Mother Xie suddenly felt a little depressed.
When Mrs. Lu saw that Xie Zhichan actually carried Zhuger's engagement letter with her and threw it out so decisively, she came to her senses and realized that this girl also wanted to break off the engagement!
How dare she look down on Zhu Ge'er? !
This is really unreasonable!
This girl, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet, actually started playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her!
She had been strong all her life, and had never given up easily. This girl wanted to break off the engagement? Well, she would not let her have her way!
Anyway, Zhu Ge'er is also reluctant to let go of this girl. If she is so determined to cancel the marriage, Zhu Ge'er will inevitably feel resentful. It is better to wait and see.
Even if the princess needs to be told, she only needs to vacate the position of the principal wife. As for the girl from the Xie family, the Duke of Wei has no special ability, and it is only because of the merits of his ancestors that he has been able to stay in the idle position of the Ministry of Rites for so many years. He is a man of many talents, and since he is interested in this marriage, he must have taken a fancy to Zhu Ge'er's future.
If I exchange my wife for a concubine, the old man will definitely agree. In this way, I can control this girl and vent my anger today, and I can also appease Zhu Ge'er and make him keep the girl by his side.
After making up her mind, she sneered and looked at Xie's mother and said, "Is Madam Xie also thinking this? I wonder if Duke Weiguo knows about this?"
Mother Xie felt uneasy and didn't know what to say for a long time - should she say that she had no idea that Ayuan wanted to cancel the engagement?
Xie Zhichan could see the old woman's wit, and said, "I am my mother's only daughter, so I am naturally as precious as a pearl. She doesn't want to see me suffer this injustice. My father doesn't know what happened today. If he knew, he would definitely mean the same thing. Since your house still has guests, please return my engagement letter as soon as possible so that this matter can be settled."
Madam Lu suddenly smiled smugly and said, "What a coincidence! I asked my servant to take your engagement letter to Daxingshan Temple. I wanted to find Master Leyuan to compare your horoscopes with Zhuge'er's. But Master Leyuan has to go into seclusion for three days, so your engagement letter is still in Daxingshan Temple. I will wait for Duke Weiguo to come to your house to pick it up in three days."
Xie Zhichan couldn't help but frown. Once the matter came to the Duke of Weiguo, other twists and turns were inevitable.
This old woman doesn't want to cancel the engagement again? Why?
While she was suspicious, she saw that Lu Xiuzhu's expression had eased a lot. She guessed that the old woman did this to appease Lu Xiuzhu, but with the pressure from the eldest princess, the marriage would not be successful after all. If she didn't give up today, she would give up tomorrow, sooner or later.
What other ideas does the old woman have?
"Why wait three days? Just ask someone to go to Daxingshan Temple to retrieve Miss Xie's engagement letter. Since we've already talked about breaking off the engagement, it's not appropriate for a girl's engagement letter to be left somewhere else."
Everyone was waiting to see whether the marriage between the Xie and Lu families could be cancelled today, when suddenly a cold and elegant male voice was heard, making the final decision to cancel the marriage.
