Ge Xinghua started to make promises, and in the end she even believed them herself.

Old Man Ge and his companions looked at each other, greed flashing in their eyes.

Old man Ge smacked his lips and muttered a few words about Changping Marquis Mansion.

Who in the capital doesn't know the name of Changping Marquis Mansion?

After all, the cancellation of the engagement between the Xie and Xiao families was indeed a hot topic among the people.

The Ge family also knew about it, but these were fights between big shots. To them, it was a fight between gods, and they just watched for fun.

I heard that the emperor was alarmed later. This shows that the Xie family and the Xiao family are indeed powerful people.

After all, the two families broke off the engagement and brought it to the emperor's attention. Aren't they powerful figures?

Unexpectedly, their Ge family could actually establish a relationship with such a powerful family.

In the past, it was something they had never dared to imagine for Cao'er to marry Master Yang.

It’s a pity that the girl was so hard-hearted that she forgot about her parents’ home after getting married.

But... Ge Xinghua is different from that dead girl. Although Ge Xinghua looks a little dishonest, she will bring some food every time she comes back from the Yang family.

From this perspective, it is better than Cao'er's stingy and dead look. Besides, if Cao'er and the others can't control them, can Ge Xinghua and the others not control them?

With Cao'er as a precedent, Ge Xinghua and the others have to keep it in their hands.

Thinking of this, Old Man Ge was indeed somewhat tempted.

Ge Youfu also said, "Girl, if you really marry into a wealthy family, don't forget your father. If you marry into a marquis's mansion and become the marquis's wife, you can get an official position for your father."

"Dad doesn't want much. I think those constables are pretty impressive. When the time comes, just tell me and let me be the head of the constable! Hahaha!"

It was also thanks to Ge Youfu that he dared to think about it and said something about marrying into the Marquis's Mansion. However, he was drunk now and no one took his words seriously.

Others didn't really dare to think that far. As long as Ge Xinghua could marry into a wealthy family, a family of minor officials, they would already think it was good enough.

Old Man Ge and Mrs. Zhao also started to discuss the matter, but all they talked about was what benefits Ge Xinghua would get after getting married, and how their Ge family could benefit from these benefits.

As I talked about the latter part, I laughed at myself.

Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the appearance of the Ge family.

Lan Ye shook his head and sighed at the foot of the wall.

This family is really amazing. They really dare to think and act.

But at this moment, someone came out to sing a different tune. The person who sang the different tune was none other than Ge Xinghua's mother, Kong.

"You were the only one talking from the beginning to the end. How could I know whether what you said was true or false? You are a very eloquent girl. I'm afraid things are not that simple, right?"

Kong suddenly jumped out to object, which was something Ge Xinghua did not expect. No, she just did not expect that after she had mentioned so many benefits, Kong would still jump out and say something.

I am her own daughter!

If her words did not receive the support of her family, she would really be married off in exchange for a betrothal gift.

Is it possible that just for a few dozen taels of silver, your own mother would tear your dream of becoming a wealthy family apart?

Ge Xinghua looked at Kong with eyes full of hatred, but it was restrained in an instant.

She suppressed her surging anger and forced a smile.

"Mom, what do you mean by that? What I said is true, don't you believe it?"

"Okay, let's just assume that what you said is true."

Kong showed a cruel smile on her face and then started to question.

"You said you hooked up with Xie Lingxi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping, and that they wanted to introduce you to a good family. Well, I will take what you said as the truth, but you said that after you marry her, you will help our family. Why don't I believe it?"

"For so many years you have been hanging out with your aunt, that ungrateful aunt. Ge also married into a wealthy family, but what did she do? Marrying off was like flying away. She didn't bring any benefits to our Ge family. A few bags of food occasionally is not a big deal, but it just keeps the family from starving to death."

What Kong said was well-reasoned and logical.

"Besides, her parents-in-law raised her, so as a daughter, she should provide some food for her parents' retirement, isn't that her duty? So this is not a benefit, but her duty as a daughter."

"Besides, she hasn't done her duty yet. You are even more eloquent than your aunt. If you really get married, how can I be sure that you will support your family instead of completely severing ties with our family like your aunt did?"

Ge Xinghua was furious, but facing her own mother's sabotage, she could only suppress her anger temporarily and forced a smile.

"Mom, no, believe me, I'm not that kind of person. When I marry a good family and have money, I will definitely give it back to you, no! To all the elders!"

"I will also buy Yaozu delicious food and fun things. I will let him be like a young master from a wealthy family, with books to read and maids to serve him. I will never be an ungrateful person."

Ge Xinghua said this, but her heart was filled with sadness because she could clearly see the viciousness in Kong's eyes.

Kong snorted coldly and continued without waiting for Mrs. Zhao and the others to speak.

"Come on, Ge Xinghua, you are a descendant of our Ge family, don't I know what kind of person you are? Even if what you said before was true, you must have concealed a lot."

"Miss Xie doesn't know about our Ge family's situation, right? Otherwise, I really can't understand why the eldest lady would wade into our family's muddy water."

What Kong said was really unpleasant, but the other people in the Ge family couldn't refute it.

Even though they would never admit it, the Ge family did not have a very good reputation outside. Just ask around and you would know who would want to associate with them.

Unless the young lady's brain was squeezed by the door, why would she rush to introduce a good family for Ge Xinghua to marry? Wouldn't that make her an enemy of the rich family she was introduced to?

Thinking of this, the other members of the Ge family calmed down instantly and stared at Ge Xinghua with sharp eyes.

Ge Xinghua felt like she was being stared at by a pack of wolves. She glared at Kong angrily, unable to conceal her emotions.

Looking at the maid who had revealed her flaws, Kong finally laughed triumphantly, then stood up and patted Ge Xinghua on the face.

"Okay, you little bitch, you just don't want to get married, right? But now that she's grown up, she should get married. This is the right thing to do. If I hadn't gotten married, there wouldn't be you, your sister, and your brother."

"Speaking of which, the story between the eldest lady of the Xie family and you is full of loopholes. The eldest lady of the Xie family went to recognize your aunt as her aunt."

"Even if I'm your sister, it's only for your aunt's sake. But now you've offended your aunt, and the young lady will definitely not want to talk to you if she knows."
