If I really marry this daughter-in-law to my son, the Lu family will definitely not be passed down to just one family, and I don’t know whose bloodline it will be passed down to.

Lord Gu was frightened when he heard this and glared at Madam Gu, blaming her for raising such a shameless daughter.

Madam Gu quickly turned around and knelt in front of Princess Yanyang.

"I saved the princess' life back then, so please, princess, for the sake of our friendship, let this matter go unmentioned.

The two families quietly broke off the engagement to save Wanru's reputation, otherwise she would never have survived."

Knowing that the marriage is bound to fail and that they are the ones at fault, they only hope to preserve Wanru's reputation.

Princess Yanyang was a little shaken. When she went up the mountain to worship Buddha, her carriage broke down and lost control and she almost fell off the cliff.

Mrs. Gu happened to pass by and her coachman hit her carriage with his own, forcing it to stop, and Mrs. Gu was injured for this.

She gave Mrs. Gu a generous thank-you gift, but Mrs. Gu refused it. Then she mentioned the idea of ​​sworn brotherhood, but Mrs. Gu said it would be better if their children became in-laws. Finally, the two of them exchanged engagement tokens on the spot.

Princess Yanyang is so pitiful. I once heard the groom, while drunk, say that it was the Madam who told him to find an opportunity to destroy Princess Yanyang's carriage before rescuing her. Now the groom's son has been freed from slavery and is studying at Qingshan Academy.

Lu Xiuyuan saw Dan Ruo eavesdropping outside the door, then looked around and saw that no one reacted. It seemed that he was the only one who could hear the maid's thoughts.

He tugged at the hem of Princess Yanyang's clothes and said, "It was the groom from the Gu Mansion who saved Mother. Mother hasn't thanked him properly yet. I'll ask him to come to the Lu Mansion to claim the reward."

Madam Gu quickly stopped her, "The groom is just a servant. I have already granted grace to his family. The princess does not need to see that lowly servant."

When Princess Yanyang saw her son speak, she naturally sided with him in public.

"I'll have the groom and this princess visit the Lu residence for a few days. We must treat them well."

Seeing that Madam Gu was about to refuse, Lu Xiuyuan said coldly, "Madam Gu, are you afraid that the groom will say something he shouldn't say?"

Madam Gu forced herself to shake her head, "No, that's not the case. Thank you, Princess Yanyang, for taking a liking to that servant."

The two families postponed the marriage, but Princess Yanyang refused to agree to amicable marriage and bluntly said that she wanted to take the groom away.

When she saw Dan Ruo passing by, she heard the female doctor say that this girl had a rare physique that was easy to get pregnant, so although the marriage was called off, she really wanted to take this maid away.

Seeing Princess Yanyang's gaze lingering on her, Lord Gu flattered her, "She's just a maid. If Princess likes her, I'll give her to her."

Madam Gu hurriedly stopped her, "No."

Then she softened her tone and made excuses for herself: "Now that the marriage between the two families has been called off, this maid has served Wanru after all. The princess might feel uncomfortable seeing her every day."

Princess Yanyang shook her head and said, "I like this maid. I will give you one thousand taels and the indenture of this maid."

Seeing this, Master Gu glared at Madam Gu and said angrily:

"It's rare that the princess likes a maid, why don't you go and give her the maid's indenture contract."

Mrs. Gu was speechless and could only ask someone to get it. Things were getting more and more out of control.

Princess Yanyang was determined to leave behind a thousand taels of silver. A pretty maid could be bought for only twenty taels on the market, and she would not owe Madam Gu any more.
