Chapter 4 Breaking off the Engagement

The woman was wearing mourning clothes, and there were no beads in her hair, which was just a plain white silk flower. She was very frail, and she was breathless when she spoke.

But a few words pushed Mrs. He into the spotlight.

Isn't she just a snob?

There is nothing wrong with this.

When the He family had no scholars, it was just an ordinary household. No matter how unruly Shen Hua was, she was still the daughter of the largest embroidery shop in Fengzhou. How could he be worthy of it?

In order to win Shen Hua's favor, He Chu worked hard and diligently to get such a marriage.

Now he turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone. It is really not the behavior of a man.

The old man of the Shen clan was worried. In front of everyone, he had to stand up for Shen Hua. After thinking about it for a while, he reprimanded her as an elder.

"You, the He family, are really bullying others!"

He originally thought of casually saying something about handling it with care. After all, Shen Hewen said it right. Shen Hua's face will definitely be of use in the future.

We can't let a young scholar be delayed.

But at this moment, Shen Hua trotted up to him as if asking for protection.

Angrily complaining.

"Elder of the clan, although my father is no longer here, with you here, the He family will completely treat the Shen clan as if there is no one left."

As she said that, she raised her chin: "If you break off the engagement any day, you're going to break off, but you chose today to humiliate me like this because you want me to go with my father and stepmother."

Shen Xue's breath was suffocated when she was inexplicably pointed out:...Why did you take me with you! Little hoof!

"You kid, what are you talking about?"

Shen Hua wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with a hint: "What my stepmother said is that most of the people in this house are named Shen. The elder of the clan is here, the second uncle is here, and all the relatives of the clan are here. How can I protect you?" I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings gradually became commotion.

After all, if Shen Hua is really seeking death and survival on this day, if everyone present ignores her, they will all be blamed. She will look ugly inside and out.

Soon, someone finally came forward to help.

"What's wrong with my Yangyang family, who has a beautiful heart and a kind heart, why do you slander me like this?"

"Now it's said that Yangyang is in bad health. Why didn't you mention it when you proposed marriage?"

"Bah, you're just relying on people's power. How can a mere scholar really think of himself as a figure? If you go for a walk on the streets of Shengjing, the most indispensable thing is dignitaries."

Shen Hewen calmly helped the elder come forward. Even if he didn't want to, he made his position clear.

"This marriage was requested by your He family shamelessly, but now you are trying to avoid it. Why, is it possible that our Shen family has a high profile to get into your He family?"

Shen Hua didn't want to make any more trouble.

No matter how disgusting the He family's mother and son are, they can't compare to the insidious and cunning Xiaoxiao in front of them who wants to take his father's life's hard work for his own.

She turned her head and glanced at Yicui, who understood and quickly returned the piece of mediocre jade to Mrs. He unceremoniously.

"Among all my wife's jewelry, this jade is the most inconspicuous. But after all, it was left to the future bride by the He family during their engagement, so it has to be left in a corner to collect dust."

"If the He family doesn't come to cancel the engagement today, my wife will come to return it someday."

She was served by Shen Hua, and what she said naturally conveyed Shen Hua's meaning.

Mrs. He's face darkened.

Shen Hua smiled slightly at this.

"It's not a good marriage, and I can't fall into a den of tigers and wolves like the He family, right? Mrs. He kept the token, and from then on, the two families have nothing to do with each other."

He Chu's heart tightened. It would be fine if Shen Hua didn't agree, but Shen Hua wanted to cut off the relationship with him immediately, which made him feel empty. He looked at Shen Hua deeply and stepped forward to salute.

"He is really ashamed. I only hope that Mrs. Shen will find another good son-in-law."

Tsk.

Why are you pretending to be a gentleman?

The same thing happened to He Chu in his previous life. He said it so nicely when he broke off the engagement.

But when no one is around, he blocks her way.

——Yangyang, that is my mother’s destiny. As a son, I have to obey it, but I only have you in my heart. Please give me some more time.

Later, he quickly got engaged to a girl from another family. When he was in good condition, he came to look for her again.

——Yangyang, I don’t want to either. I have no personal feelings for the wife of the Zhou family. I begged her and she allowed you to join the He family. Although you are a concubine, in my heart, you are the one I want to marry. people.

Shen Hua just felt disgusted.

It was like this in the past, and it is like this now.

As for the good son-in-law, it is unknown how many years she can live with her unsatisfactory body.

Shen Hua doesn't want to get married anymore. Without disturbing others, she just wants to spend all her energy on the Shen family.

She glanced at He Chu lightly.

"I won't mention what to do in the future for now. Mr. He, why don't you think about it. Once word of today's incident spreads, which family in Fengzhou City will be willing to entrust their daughter to the He family."

She, if she is not good herself, she cannot see the good of others.

He Chu's eyes turned red, as if he was the innocent and abandoned person.

Mrs. He couldn't wipe her face. She had achieved her goal and was unwilling to stay any longer.

"No need to talk to her, Brother Chu, let's go."

She pulled He Chu as if she was getting rid of dirt, and she seemed to be running away from him as she walked.

The lips open and close, and the words pop out one by one.

"You are a scholar. If you succeed in the next exam back to your hometown, you will be a master. If you keep up the good work, go to Beijing to take the exam, and get a good ranking in Chunwei, some blind people will regret it and rush to show their courtesy!"

Why should her son worry about finding a good family?

The ancestors of the Zhou family were officials. Although she is now lonely, the wife of the Zhou family can beat Shen Hua with just one finger. She is famous for being knowledgeable and sensible. The Zhou family has long sent people to inquire.

When Shen Hua heard this, she scoffed.

Is it true that people are all over the streets when they become masters of public education?

After the He family's mother and son left, the smell of gunpowder in the air never faded away. Everyone's eyes wandered back and forth on Shen Hua, who was covered in thorns.

But Shen Hua knelt in front of the coffin and burned the paper money without saying a word.

She was so peaceful that she didn't make any more trouble.

She couldn't afford to make trouble with the situation in front of her.

She couldn't stop Shen Qu from mourning and throwing pots.

The family law of our dynasty is ironclad, and the deceased can only be buried in the ancestral grave by his descendants. If there are no descendants, the deceased will be adopted by the family, or a nephew will do it for him.

This world is really harsh on women. My own daughter can only watch from afar.

If Shen Hua has a son-in-law, he must fight for it.

But now...

Even without Shen Qu, Shen Changhe had five sons. Except for Shen Wei, all the Shen family members were prosperous.

Shen Hua is too weak to fight alone, she just wants to give Shen Wei a good last leg.

The fire swallowed up the gold ingot and burned it to ashes. At the same time, it illuminated the woman's pale face, adding a hint of blood.

As for the rest, as long as she still has breath, she will definitely settle the matter slowly.

finally.

Shen Qu raised the pot high with his left hand and threw it to the ground.

With a loud bang, debris was everywhere.

The sound of crying began to rise around her. Even though no one was sincere, Shen Hua's heart still trembled, and her crystal tears flowed down uncontrollably.

The master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

"Lift the coffin!"
