Tang Ziqi was the first to react, and said anxiously.
"Brother Changqing, we have already sent back the betrothal gifts you sent. Why do you want more..."
"Hey, I remember that according to the rules of the four major families in Yuguan Mountain Range, once the betrothal gifts are accepted, the party who regrets the engagement should return double, right? These things my sister sent..."
But Changqing interrupted her and reached out to rummage in the box full of spiritual stones under him.
"It's not enough..."
"Since you have regretted the engagement, we have officially broken off the engagement, so when will the double betrothal gifts be returned? I think the rules of our Yuguan Mountain are still very reasonable. We give you the opportunity to regret and the freedom to break off the engagement, but if you can't afford the double betrothal gifts..."
His expression was stern, and his voice suddenly became cold.
"If you can't afford the compensation, your sister will have to sell herself to me as a slave."
The Tang brothers and sisters didn't expect Chang Qing to have this attitude. The moment they saw Chang Qing, they thought that he would not agree to cancel the engagement, or beg humbly, or at worst, return the betrothal gifts as a threat.
Tang Ziqi had already thought of a set of rhetoric, but Chang Qing's attitude at this time made her speechless.
She had to cast a pitiful look at the head of the Lingyu family, hoping that he could stand up and say a few words for her.
But the head of the family just looked at all this indifferently without saying a word.
If Chang Qing died, it would be reasonable for the brothers and sisters to cancel the engagement, and it would not be considered regretting the engagement.
But the problem is that Chang Qing is alive and well now, and he has confirmed it with you, and you still insist on canceling the engagement, which is naked regretting the engagement. If Chang Qing doesn't pursue it, it's fine, but according to the rules of Yuguan Mountain, Chang Qing asks for double the betrothal gifts, which is also fine.
Now that Tang Zichen is the adopted son of the head of the Tang family, he really can't let the relationship between Changqing and the Tang brothers and sisters become too stiff. If Tang Ziqi really wants to be a slave, he must come forward to stop it.
But if Changqing only made a reasonable request, even if he is the head of the family, he will inevitably be suspected of being out of touch if he says anything else.
This is the rule, the foundation of a family.
Xiao Bingzhen's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that this silly nephew suddenly got it.
While she was very relieved, her momentum suddenly rose. She stood behind Changqing, like a hen protecting her eggs, staring at the Tang brothers and sisters. Although she didn't say a word, her meaning was very clear.
She just protected her shortcomings. Changqing's meaning was her meaning. If she didn't give money, she couldn't leave.
Seeing that no one spoke for her, Tang Ziqi could only bite the bullet and plead with Changqing.
"Brother Changqing, the family wants to cancel the engagement. Ziqi really wants to be with you. Does our relationship of so many years have to be measured by money?"
"Oh, then what do you want to do?"
Changqing said impatiently without even raising his eyelids.
Tang Ziqi put on that pitiful look again.
"Brother, please accept the returned betrothal gift. Don't give up. Ziqi will always wait for you in the future, okay?"
"Oh, the implication is that as long as I don't ask you to pay double the betrothal gift, you can give me a chance to continue giving money."
Changqing grabbed a spirit stone and flicked it on Tang Ziqi's face like a melon seed shell.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Lingyu Changqing! You're looking for death!"
Tang Zichen, who was standing aside, was about to get angry when he saw his sister being humiliated, but he saw Xiao Bingzhen behind Changqing step forward half a step, his eyes like a knife, making him dare not act rashly.
Just as the atmosphere was tense and the clan leader was about to come out to mediate, Tang Ziqi suddenly spoke up.
"We won't withdraw from this marriage! Isn't it okay to withdraw!"
Even though they were being trained by the family, 10,000 spirit stones was still a huge sum of money for them. If Chang Qing insisted on her paying, she really couldn't afford it.
She had thought it over. At worst, she would just marry this sickly man first and then make a long-term plan.
She had lived in the Chang branch for several years and knew Chang Qing's situation. Apart from Xiao Bingzhen, he could not rely on anyone. It would not be difficult to find an opportunity to kill him without anyone noticing.
"Withdraw! Why not! Must withdraw!"
Tang Zichen on the side refused to do it.
He and his sister had endured humiliation for so many years. Now they finally made their mark. It was inevitable that they were arrogant. In addition, he couldn't stand seeing Ling Yu Chang Qing, who always tried to please him and his sister, being so arrogant, and he couldn't stand seeing his sister suffer.
"Well said! Back off! Why not back off! Must back off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Qing in front of him clapped his hands and cheered.
"Brother Chang Qing..." Tang Ziqi's eyes were sparkling and she said softly.
"I know you must be too sad to say these angry words. Now I am willing to go against the wishes of my family and not back off the engagement.Don't you want to be with me anymore? "
Chang Qing saw this and said affectionately.
"My dear sister, I also want to marry you, but the family has rules, and we are helpless. Just now, in front of so many elders of the Lingyu family, you kept saying that you wanted to cancel the engagement, and I kept saying that I agreed..."
Tang Ziqi cried and shook her head, her voice even more touching.
"I don't care, brother Chang Qing, I just want to be with you."
She thought that Ling Yu Chang Qing was still the fool who was firmly controlled by her and only loved her, and thought that as long as she gave in and begged hard, he would soften his heart.
"Don't you just want to marry me? Now I agree, what else do you want?"
She thought to herself.
Unfortunately, Chang Qing's answer did not let her get what she wanted.
"My dear sister, once you say something, it's time to forget it. Now that you don't want to back off, you want to write it off. Do you think the men in our family are the cabbages in the vegetable market? You want it, you want it, you don't want it? Where does that put the reputation of my Lingyu family?"
His voice became louder and louder, and he said righteously.
"Even if I want you again, I can't be a sinner who makes the family lose face."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply to the elders, heads of families and clan leaders behind him.
Even though he has always been unpopular in the family, his words are very righteous, and the elders nodded one after another.
Seeing this, Chang Qing leaned close to Tang Ziqi's ear, who was already stagnant in the same place, and smiled slightly.
"You can regret the engagement, but you still want to regret it after breaking off the engagement?"
"Clown."
Tang Ziqi's face twisted instantly. She tried hard to maintain a decent look, but her heart was already full of turbulent waves, filled with boundless hatred for Chang Qing.
"This bastard! Is he just playing a trick on me!"
"I have given in to this extent! Why does he look down on me!"
"Ten thousand spirit stones, what should I do? How can I afford to pay!"
Chang Qing didn't care what she thought, and spoke again.
"Let's put it this way, I don't need you to be a slave, you can owe me the spirit stones first."
He knew that if he went too far with Tang Ziqi, his family would come forward to stop him. This kind of game is like this, and he can't cross the line. Besides, he was not interested in Tang Ziqi being a slave. It was the most important thing to get tangible benefits and spirit stones.
But killing someone and destroying his heart is not a bad idea......
"Since you have admitted that you have regretted the marriage, you should pay me back 20,000 spirit stones. You paid back 10,000, and you still owe 10,000. I'll give you an idea for this 10,000."
"Didn't you tell me that you need a betrothal gift of 10,000 to marry you? You can find another good man and let him give you a betrothal gift of 10,000. At that time, you don't have to go through your hands again, and you don't have to go through the trouble twice. Just let him send it to my house and pay it back for you. "
"As long as you sign a written agreement, your future husband's family needs to send a betrothal gift of 10,000 to my house, otherwise they can't marry you, and let it be known widely, I can temporarily not pursue the 10,000 spirit stones, and wait until the day of your engagement, and then give it to me."
"What do you think?"
His request is simply murderous.
Don't you, Tang Ziqi, want a good reputation, don't you want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix? Then I will tarnish your reputation and let your next family send the money directly to me, and see which man can bear this kind of humiliation, and who will want you.
"Don't you go too far! "Tang Zichen wanted to seek justice for his sister, but he didn't know how to start.
He can now receive a subsidy of five blue spirit stones from the family every month. One blue spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred white spirit stones. If he saves them all, he can pay it off in less than two years.
But these spirit stones are for his cultivation. If his cultivation stagnates, it will be a matter of losing sight of the main goal. At that time, everything he has now will disappear.
"How can I go too far? I am thinking about sister Ziqi. After all, apart from the betrothal gifts, she has no other way to make a lot of money at the moment."
Chang Qing spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.
"Oh, by the way, but this matter has to have a time limit. Otherwise, if sister Ziqi doesn't marry for the sake of being a deadbeat, who should I ask to settle the account of the ten thousand spirit stones? It will be a three-year period. I hope sister Ziqi can find a good husband within three years."
