Chapter 74 Regret quitting, An Ling'er playing tricks
Every time General Chu thought of his daughter's injustice, he felt distressed and angry.
"When Madam Yongkang came to cancel the engagement, she kept her words in both words, but she was afraid of being tainted by my general's palace. It seems too late to regret now."
If Uncle Yongkang had said this, he would have fisted him a long time ago. However, Mrs. Yongkang said it to a woman, and she is still avoiding her now.
"Our Chu family doesn't have the habit of adding insult to injury. For the sake of our children, we divorced peacefully. If someone asks why in the future, we will just say that the children have incompatible personalities, and it won't smear anyone's reputation. From now on, we will get married separately and have nothing to do with each other.
."
Speaking of adding insult to injury, Yongkang Bo was also a little unable to speak. They had not just added insult to injury before. But at that time, they thought that the general's residence had been abandoned by the prince.
"Wenzhong, please tell me something. You and Ling'er have always been good friends. You can't give up years of love for such a trivial matter."
Uncle Yongkang saw that General Chu was determined, so he came to persuade Chu Wenzhong. He had already found out clearly this time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chu Yunxi were getting married soon, and the Chu family had once again made a splash in this donation. Come on.
The emperor attaches great importance to it, how can we cancel this marriage?
"I'm sorry, I don't think it's a small thing to humiliate my sister. Your daughter and I are not destined to be together."
Chu Wenzhong only answered a brief sentence, which made Yong Kangbo's heart feel cold.
"Uncle Yongkang, it's useless to talk too much. Insulting my daughter is the same as insulting the entire Chu family. If Uncle Yongkang agrees happily, that's all. If not, I can only ask the government to rule on annulment."
Seeing that General Chu and Chu Wenzhong were about to leave, Yongkang Bo really regretted that he should not have listened to his wife's instigation and agreed to her going to the general's residence to cancel the engagement.
If this matter really goes to the government, Chu Wenzhong is the prince's brother-in-law, so he will naturally not be afraid. There are many people who want to get married. His daughter will never want to get married in the future.
"Okay, quit, quit the engagement. What about the betrothal gift?" Uncle Yongkang has not forgotten it. The prince said yesterday that the returned ones will be used as gifts. What if the Chu family asked him to give out another one? What would Chu do at the beginning?
My family gave me generous gifts.
"No need."
General Chu and his son walked out without looking back, but An Ling'er chased him out: "Brother Chu, do you really don't want Ling'er? Ling'er made a purse for you, but he hasn't given it away yet."
She really was holding a purse in her hand, and I felt pity for her lips pursed in tears.
Chu Wenzhong clenched his fists: "Please take care of yourself."
Watching the two of them walking away, An Ling'er looked at Yong Kangbo with resentment: "Father, are you and mother satisfied now? Are you happy that your daughter's marriage was ruined?"
Uncle Yongkang also had nowhere to vent his anger. He couldn't go to the Xiao family to settle accounts. He didn't have the guts yet.
"Didn't you acquiesce when your mother wanted to break off the engagement? Now if you still have illusions about Chu Wenzhong, go and beg Chu Yunxi. As long as she lets go, everything will be easy. But you have to think about the consequences.
If she doesn't do it, you will be the one to be embarrassed!"
An Ling'er's eyes lit up, yes, Chu Yunxi, she is the key. I heard that she never likes to show up in public. Such an ignorant woman is the most soft-hearted.
Not long after General Chu and Chu Wenzhong entered the mansion, An Ling'er arrived outside the door of the general's mansion.
Without saying anything, he knelt down directly. Seeing this, the boy guarding the door quickly went in to report.
"What does she mean? Is this another forced marriage?"
Mrs. Chu had never seen a girl who was so obsessed with her. When she first got engaged, she just visited her as a girl. She just thought that Mr. and Mrs. Yong Kangbo were really interested in Chu Wenzhong, so they did that.
Now it seems that the Yongkang Mansion is just interested in Xi'er's status as the crown princess. It wants to repeat the same trick.
"Don't be angry, mother. I'll drive her away." Chu Wenzhong felt a little ashamed. After all, this was his marriage, which would bring trouble to his family.
"How can you, a man, get entangled with a girl who has not yet left the court? The more entangled you are, the more difficult it is to get rid of her. It is better for the mother to go."
"I'll go!" Chu Yunxi hugged Mrs. Chu who was about to go out. Her mother was still pregnant and had been troubled by their children's affairs recently, so she couldn't get a good rest.
"No, you haven't left the cabinet yet, how can you deal with this kind of thing?" Mrs. Chu still disagreed.
"Didn't mother see it? She came here for me. If she can't see me, I'm afraid she won't give up. Don't worry, mother. My daughter will come back as soon as she goes."
When He Xiang reported to her that An Ling'er was kneeling outside the house, she guessed An Ling'er's intention. Such a scheming girl made her feel less guilty about her eldest brother's divorce.
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Yunxi worriedly and went out with her two maids. There were already many people gathered outside the house. The Chu family had really enjoyed the scenery these days.
An Ling'er felt happy when she saw Chu Yunxi coming out. She thought she had to quarrel with Mrs. Chu first before she could see Chu Yunxi.
"Sister Yunxi, you are finally willing to come out to see me."
As soon as An Ling'er opened her mouth, Chu Yunxi felt disgusted. Did she want to enter the house, but they didn't let her? Or did she want to see her, but she disappeared?
"Do you want to go into the house to chat, or do you want to chat here?" Chu Yunxi endured her temper. She was not forced to do so, and she didn't want others to watch the excitement.
"Sister Yunxi, my mother didn't mean to anger you. Please don't force Brother Chu to break off our engagement, okay?"
An Ling'er was already in tears as she spoke. How could a delicate young lady kneel and weep, not making people feel pity? You can tell by looking at the eyes of the people around her, she pretended to be weak very successfully.
Chu Yunxi watched her perform. She might have believed in such acting skills in her previous life. However, after experiencing life and death, she had already seen through the sinister nature of people's hearts.
"It seems that you are determined to chat here. Hexiang, go and bring me a chair."
He Xiang obediently obeyed and brought tea.
An Ling'er looked at Chu Yunxi in disbelief, sat down leisurely, accepted her kneeling ceremony, and listened to the discussions among the people around her.
"This kneeling person is Mr. Chu's fiancée? What happened?"
"That's right. I just heard her say that she would not cancel the engagement. From what she meant, it seemed that she had offended Miss Chu and wanted to force them to cancel the engagement."
"Even if you are a princess, you can't force your brother and sister-in-law to break off the engagement. That would be too domineering."
An Ling'er lowered her head and hid her proud smile, Chu Yunxi, just be arrogant. The more arrogant you are, the more beneficial it will be to me.
Chu Yunxi held the tea in her hand and took a slow sip before speaking:
"First of all, I'm a few months older than you, so don't call me sister. I don't have a sister like you."
An Ling'er called Chu Yunxi sister because she was from the perspective of Chu Wenzhong's fiancée. Chu Yunxi did not recognize her identity.
"Princess, Ling'er is willing to take the punishment as a surrogate mother. I will kneel down until you calm down. I just ask you not to separate me and Brother Chu."
"Second, you only said that the surrogate mother had suffered, why didn't you say anything about it? Your mother, Mrs. Yongkang Bo, heard the gossip from somewhere, so she came to our house and insulted me, saying that I would become the prince's abandoned wife. Such bullying to those who came to our house,
If it’s not intentional, then there’s something wrong with your brain. I wonder if Mrs. Yongkangbo is crazy?”
Chu Yunxi looked directly at An Ling'er from a high position, and An Ling'er's eyes flickered at the sight. She didn't expect that Chu Yunxi, a young lady in the boudoir, would speak so sharply and without any mercy.
