"Why are you here?" Song Lian couldn't believe her eyes.

"I came here to learn blacksmithing. It has always been my dream to become a famous blacksmith."

Xie Bailiang specially emphasized the three words "blacksmith".

Song Lian's face froze for a moment; this sudden change caught her off guard.

"Xie Bailiang! You did it on purpose, right?"

"Miss Song, why do you say that? You are already my fiancée, you should understand my thoughts and respect my choice. As the saying goes: Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. It is only natural for a wife to follow her husband."

Song Lian was speechless. She would never accept that her man was a blacksmith, never!

"Xie Bailiang, don't think that I won't regret the engagement just because we exchanged engagement letters!"

Xie Bailiang smiled calmly, this was exactly what he wanted.

"Miss Song, what do you mean? You and I have already exchanged engagement letters, and I have asked my mother to come to propose marriage tomorrow. How can you change your mind?"

"If this gets out, who do you think will marry you in the future? You might as well support me in learning blacksmithing. When I succeed in my studies, we can live a good life together."

"You!" Song Lian was so angry that her face was swollen. "Propose marriage? My parents will never agree to it!"

"Ms. Song, this is very strange. You handed the engagement letter to my mother privately, and I didn't dislike you. Now you blame me. Anyway, it's done, and you have no room for regret."

"I advise you to accept this fact as soon as possible. Also, I am a good housekeeper. If you think I am incompetent, I can be your son-in-law. You can take care of the outside affairs, and I will take care of the inside affairs."

After hearing this, the words Song Lian wanted to say got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

What do you mean by "master inside and outside"? This man clearly wants to live off his wife. Yes! It must have been Yuan's idea.

Well, she thought she would live her life again like she did in her last life. Unexpectedly, everything changed.

At this moment Song Lian completely understood that the Xie family was no longer under her control. If she wanted to take back the initiative, she had to find someone else.

"Xie Bailiang, our marriage is over. If you are a man, don't come to my house to bother my family tomorrow. As for the engagement letter, I will go to the Xie family to retrieve it myself."

Bai Liang raised his lips slightly, "If Miss Song Lian has this ability, you can go to my mother to get it back. But don't blame me for not reminding you, my mother is a difficult person, she is not as easy to talk to as me."

"Hmph! I have my own way. Don't worry about it!" After saying that, Song Lian turned and left.

Watching her back as she walked away, Bai Liang felt much better. He only hoped that his mother would let Song Lian and himself go, otherwise he would rather be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.

Song Lian did not go home, but went directly to Xie's house, explained everything to Yuan, and asked to cancel the engagement and get the engagement letter back.

But Yuan couldn't accept it. Everything was fine the day before. How could she just cancel the engagement? If it got out, Liang'er's reputation would be ruined. Which girl would be willing to marry him in the future?

"Ms. Song Lian, I think there must be a misunderstanding here. When Liang Er comes back, I will ask him carefully. Don't rush to cancel the engagement."

"Thank you, Madam. You have to cancel this marriage today, whether you want to or not."

Song Lian refused to give in, which made Yuan very embarrassed. "Miss Song, since ancient times, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. How can children negotiate on their own?"

"Oh?" Song Lian snorted and laughed, "Madam Xie, do you want to fight to the death? You have to think clearly. It will not benefit any of us to fall out."

"As the ancients said: The enemy of my enemy is also my friend. If I join forces with Second Madam Xie, how long do you think you can stay in the Xie family?"

"Do you threaten me?"

"Yes, you can understand it that way."

Yuan looked at the woman with gritted teeth. She didn't look like an unmarried girl at all. She was extremely aggressive.

But she was right about one thing. If she fell out with him, she would be a helpless lamb to be slaughtered and would have no power to fight back.

"No matter what, I will make a decision after meeting your parents."

"Madam Xie, I advise you not to do this." Song Lian said with a smile, "If you agree today, I am willing to sell you a shop at a low price so that you can live a good life for the rest of your life."

"But if you insist on meeting my parents, you won't get a penny."

After much consideration, Yuan agreed to her proposal, took back the engagement letter and cancelled the engagement.

After Song Lian left, Yuan was unable to swallow this humiliation and went to Yun Zhihan to argue with him, but was stopped outside by Tuoba Hong.

"Yun Zhihan, get out of here! If you have the ability to do it, but not the ability to see me, what kind of mistress are you!"

Yun Zhihan felt a headache from her shouting and had no choice but to get up and leave.

"Sister-in-law, who provoked you to make you so angry?"

"Stop pretending. Why don't you let Liang'er work at Yunsheng Restaurant?"

"Sister-in-law, you are wrongly accusing me." She explained pitifully, "Liang'er didn't want to leave. I never asked him to leave."

"Impossible!" Yuan insisted, "If it weren't for your coercion and inducement, how could Liang'er give up?"

"If you don't believe me, you can wait for Liang'er to come back and ask me whether what I said is true or not."

"Yun Zhihan, you did this on purpose. You knew Liang'er would definitely take the responsibility on himself, but you still asked me to ask him?"

"So, sister-in-law already knows that Liang'er and you are not on the same page?"

This sentence hit Yuan's heart directly, "You are talking nonsense! Liang'er is my child, how could he betray me?"

"If that's the case, why don't you believe what he said?"

This sentence shut Yuan's mouth. Her face turned purple and she left angrily.

Tuoba Hong watched the show from the side and said sarcastically, "This woman is really ungrateful. She has ruined a good child. Why do we keep such a person?"

Yun Zhihan said helplessly, "After all, she is a member of the Xie family. It is immoral to kick her out, and it will be bad if it gets out. What's more, she has no trump cards now, so what are you afraid of her doing?"

"You are just too soft-hearted. Useless things should be cleared out in time, otherwise she will bite people when she gets anxious."

She didn't answer, just sighed softly.

……

After Zhao Feng returned home, the housekeeper came out to greet him.

When he saw the pale face of the master, he was shocked for a moment, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and then he closed his eyes and fainted.

The housekeeper and the servants all rushed over to support him and helped him into the house.

"Where are the Madam and Miss? Didn't they go out with the Master?" Butler Zhao asked the guard who followed them.

"They are lying in the sedan chair at the back. The two people have also fainted."

"What?" Butler Zhao had a bad feeling in his heart, "Why are you still standing there? Go call the doctor!"

"I've already gone, and the doctor is on the way."

"Wasn't he fine before entering the palace? What happened?"
