Shu Mansion.

Upon learning that Yaoyao was going home, Shu's father had been waiting at the door early in the morning.

When Yaoyao took Ji Yu to the door of the house.

Father Shu turned his head away deliberately and snorted coldly, "You also know to come back. You are not as filial as Xiao Ji, who knows to come back to see me every year."

Ji Yu quickly reached out to hold Shu's father's hand, and educated him like an adult: "Dad, with this attitude of yours, Yaoyao will be scared away!"

"Just run away, since he won't come back anyway. As for me, I'll just treat it as if I never gave birth to a daughter and only raised a son."

After saying this, Mr. Shu reached out and picked up the five-year-old Ji Yu. Ji Yu kept struggling to get down, but his strength was too little and his resistance was ineffective.

"Dad, I miss you so much." Shu Yaoyao lowered her head slightly, her tone soft.

Upon seeing this, Shu's father immediately left Ji Yu behind and hugged his daughter: "Daddy's Yaoyao! You are so cruel that you didn't come back to see me for five years."

Shu Yaoyao couldn't help but rub his eyes when he saw this, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Didn't you force me to practice? How can I have the face to come back if I haven't achieved anything in my studies!"

Even at the dinner table, Shu's father was still reluctant to let go of his daughter's hand.

"It seems that you have grown taller and lost a lot of weight in the past few years." After saying that, Shu's father began to pick up food for Yaoyao frantically.

Ji Yu looked at the bowl for a long time, making sure that no food would end up in his bowl. Then he started to pick up food for himself.

As a result, as soon as Ji Yu's chopsticks touched the pig's trotter, the whole piece of trotter flew into Yaoyao's bowl. Ji Yu turned his head and looked at the fish on the plate, and the whole fish also went into Yaoyao's bowl.

Ji Yu had no choice but to turn around and look at the vegetables. Father Shu directly brought the plate to Yaoyao. Ji Yu's short arms couldn't even reach it.

"Dad, I can't eat so much." Yaoyao said helplessly.

Ji Yu said pitifully: "Dad, I'm not full, I still need to grow."

When the meal was almost over, Shu's father seemed to remember something and stared at Yaoyao as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yaoyao didn't notice that Shu's father was wrong, but Ji Yu saw his hesitation and asked, "Dad, do you have anything else to say?"

Shu Yaoyao then noticed the troubled expression on his father's face: "What happened? Or is there something wrong with the family management?"

Seeing Yaoyao's anxious look, Father Shu sighed heavily and said, "It's about your marriage with the boy from the Liu family."

"Is there any problem with the marriage?" Shu Yaoyao asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's because the reputation of the Liu family kid is not very good. The rumors about Liu Chen in Qingzhou Prefecture are getting more and more intense. That kid is not very talented, and he has a lot of tricks to deceive young girls. You haven't even married him yet, but he has two maids in his room to warm his bed, and he has countless confidantes."

As Mr. Shu spoke, he observed Yaoyao's expression.

Yaoyao looked calm and nonchalant: "If he has a lover, the marriage can be cancelled. It just so happens that since I started practicing Taoism, I don't care about matters between men and women, so it's better to cancel the marriage."

Ji Yu could only listen from the side. After all, it was the Shu family's family affair and it was not easy for him to interfere.

"I think that's fine. I'll accompany you to cancel the engagement in two days." Father Shu suggested.

Shu Yaoyao was also very satisfied with the result.

Men and women are equal in the Kyushu Continent. Men can take concubines, and women can buy husbands. However, for those who have been engaged since childhood, men cannot take concubines before their legal wife marries them.

Even if the wife is married, the man cannot take a concubine if she disagrees.

These explicit regulations are relatively reasonable.

Ji Yu joined in the fun and said, "I'll go with Daddy and Yaoyao when the time comes!"

"Breaking off an engagement is not a glorious thing to do. Why are you going to do it? I have to think of a way to cancel this engagement in a natural way while preserving the dignity of both families." Shu's father said with some embarrassment.

Ji Yu hugged Shu's father's hand and said coquettishly in a baby voice: "Daddy, take me with you! I promise to be obedient and not make trouble."

"Okay, okay!" Father Shu finally nodded and agreed.

The two stayed at home for a few days. Shu's father packed his things and planned to go to the Liu family to cancel the engagement.

On the way, Ji Yu put on a curious look and asked, "Dad, I guess you have to give me a gift to apologize for breaking off the engagement this time! Can you show me the gift?"

Father Shu took out several gifts from his personal space and laid them out one by one.

Ji Yu saw the key prop at a glance. He picked up the beads and asked innocently, "What is this?"

"This... seems to be a top-grade spiritual weapon that is of little use." Father Shu couldn't tell what this thing was used for.

Ji Yu took out two bottles of pills from his own space and asked innocently, "If we give him such flashy things, she probably won't be able to use them, and people will say that we are stingy. I have a few bottles of pills that I made myself, which may be quite beneficial to his cultivation."

"Do you like this bead?" Shu Yaoyao immediately saw what Ji Yu was thinking.

Ji Yu held the beads tighter and replied obediently, "It's pretty. I like it very much."

Father Shu waved his hand and said, "If you like, take it. The pills can be given to that playboy of the Liu family. He is entangled with so many women. Give him a good restorative treatment for his weakened body."

Ji Yu had just started refining medicine, and although the pills looked good, they had some slight side effects.

Ji Yu smiled and put the beads into his arms, intending to study them carefully when he returned in the evening.

After wasting half a day, the few of them hurriedly arrived at Liu's house at noon.

Mr. Shu politely told the purpose of his visit.

Soon, the patriarch of the Liu family came to the door with a group of people to greet them.

Although the Shu family's power cannot catch up with the Liang family, it can still rank second among everyone.

In the past two years, the Liu family's power has gradually declined, while the Shu family has become increasingly prosperous, all because of the reputation of the Shu family's daughter and adopted son in Qingfeng College.

Of course, the Liu family's attitude towards the Shu family was respectful.

"Brother Shu, long time no see!" Clan leader Liu warmly invited everyone to sit down and exchanged a few words of greeting.

Father Shu was not polite. He took Yaoyao and Ji Yu to sit down and stated his purpose: "I am here for my daughter's marriage to Liu Chen."

Clan leader Liu was a little nervous. Everyone in the Liu family knew that Liu Chen and Shu Yaoyao were engaged. But no one in the Liu family took the engagement seriously, and even the disciples in the family bullied Liu Chen.

Could it be that Chief Shu is here to settle the score?

Patriarch Liu had a very complicated expression at this time.
