Unfortunately, Madam Qian was oblivious to her fate. She wiped away her tears and tried to sow discord among the Shi family, saying that she had never heard of the matter. When Zhu Xian ignored her, she turned around and said that the Shi family was ungrateful, that they had saved someone but still wanted to take advantage of the young master, and that such a family was truly despicable.

Zhu Xian endured it again and again. If it weren't for this incident, with the Wang family's own resources, they could naturally find a better family. Why ruin their reputation?

Zhu Xian took a deep breath, and listening to Qian Shi's incessant chatter, he couldn't help but slap her across the face.

The violent impact caused Qian, who was already weak all over, to stagger and fall to the ground.

Hearing the commotion, Yihong and Granny You, who were waiting outside, rushed in. They found Qian Shi lying on the ground, still in a daze, and quickly went to help her up.

Zhu Xian kicked her, sending the nearest old woman, Granny You, sprawling backward. Then he pointed at Madam Qian and said, "Tomorrow morning, you'd better kneel until they calm down. Also, take that jade pendant with twin blossoms that I gave you and use it to finalize the marriage." He stared coldly at Madam Qian and said, "Do you understand?"

Madam Qian shrank her shoulders and looked up with some reluctance. That jade pendant was the token of their love back then, and she was extremely reluctant to give it to the Shi family.

Zhu Xian bent down and stared at her coldly, saying, "If you don't handle this well, there will be a new nunnery in the Marquis's mansion tomorrow, and you can pray for the Shi family's daughter there."

Qian's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her upper and lower teeth chattered loudly.

Seeing that she had taken his words to heart, Zhu Xian nodded in satisfaction and casually added, "Also, get rid of your down-on-her-luck niece right now, or else..." He didn't finish his sentence and went to the room of the gentle and sensible Aunt Liu in the backyard.

Qian had already guessed his unfinished meaning, and her body trembled slightly.
