As soon as Yin Heng left the Xu family and got into his car, his face immediately fell.

When I got home, the old man was having breakfast in the dining room.

"grandfather!"

"They're back? Both of the Xu family's girls are back?"

"They're back."

The old man took a bite of the fried dough stick and a sip of soy milk.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Sit down and eat."

They didn't ask any further questions, let alone mention being kidnapped by bandits.

Yin Heng seemed to want to say something, but after opening his mouth, he ultimately sat down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, the old man returned to his study.

Yin Heng returned to his room, paced back and forth several times, and finally made up his mind.

I took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

Arriving at the door of the old man's study, he raised his hand and knocked.

"grandfather."

The deep, resonant voice of Old Yin came from inside.

"Come in!"

Yin Heng pushed open the door and entered, only to find another person in the study.

The other person was sitting at their desk with their back to the door.

He was wearing a military uniform and a military cap.

Old Master Yin glanced at Yin Heng, then smiled and said to the man, "You can go back now. We'll discuss this matter later."

The man nodded and slowly stood up from the chair.

She slowly raised her hand and adjusted her cloak.

"Then I'll await your good news."

The man pulled his general's hat down slightly with one hand, his head bowed as he walked towards the door.

From Yin Heng's angle, only half of the man's face is visible.

Judging from the exposed skin, the other person has fair skin and is a young person.

"Grandpa, who is he?"

"Hehe, a very nice young man. You have something to say to me?"

Mr. Yin did not provide much information about that person.

Yin Heng assumed that the officer was under his grandfather's command, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Grandpa, I want to break off my engagement with Xu Jin'en."

Old Master Yin stared silently at Yin Heng, his aged and wise face showing little surprise.

In fact, he had long seen through his grandson's plan; he was just waiting for the day he would speak up.

“Aheng, as you know, your marriage to the Xu family girl was arranged by Grandpa and Old Master Xu themselves. Moreover, Old Master Xu saved my life back then. We cannot be the kind of people who break their promises.”

Yin Heng walked to the old man's side.

“Grandpa, I know you are a man who values ​​keeping your promises, and I don’t want to be the one who breaks my promises, but I’m really not suitable for the fourth young lady of the Xu family. What if… it were the second young lady of the Xu family?”

"You mean Vera?"

“It’s Wei’er. Wei’er and I are in love and childhood sweethearts. Moreover, she is the eldest daughter of the Xu family. If my grandson marries her, it will not be considered a violation of the agreement you and Grandpa Xu made back then.”

Old Yin silently played with the walnuts in his hand, lost in thought.

Seeing that the old man remained silent, in order to completely dissolve his marriage with Xu Jin'en, Yin Heng revealed that Xu Jin'en had spent the night alone with the robber.

“Those bandits on Yanshan Mountain are wicked and do all sorts of evil. With Xu Jin’en’s beauty, how could she possibly be clean in their hands? Grandpa, you don’t want your grandson to marry a wife who is not clean, do you?”

Old Master Yin was completely shaken.

"You really want to call off the engagement?"

Yin Heng nodded immediately: "Yes!"

Old Master Yin continued to turn the walnut in his palm: "What if we get the fourth daughter of the Xu family to speak?"

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

“If we bring up the annulment of the engagement, others will definitely make a big deal out of it, saying that our Yin family is ungrateful. The newspapers in Beiping will probably write about it for days.”

Nowadays, warlords are fighting each other and each has their own territory. Another warlord is in control of Beiping. Recently, the north and the Pearl River region have fought several battles, and the grudges between them have been longstanding.

Both armies tried to find ways to annoy each other, so it was common for them to slander, defame, and smear each other in the newspapers.

Yin Heng understood that if he proposed to annul the engagement, it would definitely cause a big fuss in Beiping.

"What will it take for Xu Jin'en to personally ask for the annulment of the engagement?"

He couldn't think of a good solution. Xu Jin'en had just gone through that ordeal, and as a woman, she desperately needed someone to rely on.

If he were to propose annulment, she would probably rather die than agree.

Old Master Yin said, "Then let's find one for her."

The man did not leave immediately outside the door.

Standing at the door for a moment, I happened to hear the conversation between the Yin family grandfather and grandson clearly.
