If she really does this, the Shen family will lose face in front of His Majesty, and might even offend His Majesty.
The old Marquis gave her a vicious look, and looked at Chu Yuanqi with a forced smile: "Little Marquis, you also saw today that an unfilial daughter was born in the Shen family, which made His Majesty furious...Now
I’m afraid it’s not too good to talk about breaking off the engagement, right?”
Chu Yuanqi said awkwardly: "Old Marquis, please forgive me, I don't want to do this either... It's been too long to break off the engagement. My father got really angry and said that if I don't take back the family heirloom jade bracelet,
, he will sue His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to break my legs in the name of unfilial piety."
"So, I really have no choice but to ask the old Marquis for forgiveness!"
The implication is that if the Shen family continues to delay and refuses to break off the engagement, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will sue His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make the decision.
The old Marquis felt a thump in his heart.
I knew I couldn't put it off any longer.
The Shen family has just offended His Majesty. At this time, if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion files another complaint, I am afraid that the benefits of the marriage will not be obtained, and the Shen family will get into trouble!
Thinking of this, the old Marquis felt even more uncomfortable and angry.
He stared at Shen Wan sinisterly and said through gritted teeth: "There's no need to go find your father! I remember keeping that jade bracelet in the Shen family's warehouse. I didn't bring it with me when I came to Xiangguo Temple this time. I have to wait until I return to Beijing.
Only then can I return it to the young Marquis."
"Really?" Chu Yuanqi asked immediately.
"Don't you believe what I said personally?"
"of course not."
Chu Yuanqi was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that what "Shen Wan" said was actually true.
The jade bracelet was clearly in the hands of the Shen family, but the Shen family insisted that it was in her hands and used her as an excuse to postpone the breakup of the engagement again and again.
Chu Yuanqi only felt chilled, how could there be such an elder?
"Old Marquis Shen is an elder and always sticks to your word. I, the younger generation, will naturally believe what you say. In this case, after returning to Beijing, I will report to my father and then go to the Shen family to discuss breaking off the engagement, and by the way, I will get back my jade bracelet.
, what do you think, Mr. Hou?"
The old Marquis really had no reason to refuse, so he could only agree with a stiff face.
Chu Yuanqi achieved his goal and glanced at "Shen Wan" again, meaning to ask her if she could leave.
Xiao Lingyue glanced towards the door.
"Junior, take your leave." Chu Yuanqi gestured with his hands, turned and left the wing.
He just left not long ago.
The old Marquis suddenly became ferocious, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Xiao Lingyue: "Shen Wan, you are a bastard who eats the inside and outside of the house! You know that the Shen family is in great danger, yet you unite with outsiders to deal with your own family! Yours
My conscience has been eaten by dogs!”
Xiao Lingyue ducked aside quickly.
The tea cup hit the wall with a "bang!" and the fragments flew everywhere.
Chu Yuanqi, who was hiding outside the door, was shocked.
"Grandpa, where did these words come from?" Xiao Lingyue said in a calm tone, "The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion wants to break off the engagement. The Shen family has no reason to refuse. Besides, I have already agreed. How can I be cheating?"
"You...I have told you a long time ago that the Shen family urgently needs strong in-law support, and the marriage contract at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion must not be canceled! Your father and I have finally delayed it until now, and you actually personally
Bringing the young marquis to the door, threatening to break off the engagement! Do you know how difficult the Shen family's situation is now? If they really break off their engagement with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, what will happen to the Shen family without any support from in-laws in Beijing?
!”
The old Marquis was furious and his whole body was shaking with anger. Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
