Chapter 295 Schemes

Qiu Yun started adding fuel to the fire, making Old Master Qiu furious. He knew that some of what Qiu Yun said was untrue, but he was really angry that Qiu Wen had kept such a big thing from him.

Not to mention, he had even gone to her house to ask to see her before, only to be turned away. Now that he knows it was his own daughter who turned him away, one can only imagine how he felt.

Therefore, he did not deny Qiu Yun's exaggerated claims. In the end, he also wanted to scold that unfilial daughter, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Qiu Yun had just hit the nail on the head.

Seeing that her father didn't object, Qiu Yun continued, "Father, my sister is older than me and it's time for her to get married. What do you think of my cousin?"

The cousin she was referring to was naturally Zhang An. The Zhang family had fallen from grace, so it was no surprise that Zhang An had a difficult time in the family. However, Zhang An was quite clever and knew how to threaten Qiu Yun. Qiu Yun had no choice but to try her best to maneuver, which is why she turned her attention to this.

Although Qiu Wen was capable, in this era where marriage was a major life event and parents arranged it with matchmakers, Qiu Wen's husband and wife could still make the decisions about her marriage.

You mean Zhang An?

“Of course it’s Cousin Zhang’an. He’s about the same age as my eldest sister, and he’s wholeheartedly devoted to our family. My eldest sister will naturally understand your good intentions, Father.”

Master Qiu knew exactly who Zhang An was. Although he didn't dote on Qiu Wen, he was still undecided about letting her marry Zhang An.

Seeing her father hesitate, Qiu Yun wasn't worried. She couldn't beat Qiu Wen, but she knew her father well enough to know he would agree.

Just as Qiu Yun had expected, Master Qiu finally agreed.

Originally, they planned to secretly obtain Qiu Wen's birth information and finalize the matter directly. Qiu Wen had no connections in the Qiu family, and if the matter were finalized without her knowledge, she would only suffer losses. Even if the engagement was eventually called off, her reputation would definitely be damaged.

She was already engaged to the eldest son of the Han family. Qiu Yun was there when the engagement was broken off. Although everyone knew the truth, it was still acceptable on the surface. If it happened again, and the other party was Zhang An, who had a terrible reputation, Qiu Wen would really have a hard time getting away with it.

Zhang Tingyu was thoughtful; he had people keep an eye on the Qiu family's movements, and that's how he learned about this matter.

He hadn't even gotten his wife yet, and Mr. Qiu was already scheming like this—it was too much.
