"No, this matter must be clarified immediately." Liu Qingmei said with a smile, "Grandpa, you won't even let me say a few words, will you?"
"Go ahead and say it." Liu Zhenhe's expression was icy, his face shifting between light and shadow. He truly had no idea what Liu Qingmei was up to, or what she was really up to.
"Today, in front of everyone, I hereby announce that my agreement with Liu Sanqing is now over." Liu Qingmei took out the Black Water Stone and held it high above her head: "I, Liu Qingmei, am now a free woman, not anyone's wife."
The scene was deathly silent for a moment, then erupted with a loud bang, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Are you crazy, Liu Qingmei?"
"Don't you want to see what you're saying? Liu Qingmei, are you going to refuse Third Master Liu's marriage proposal?"
"Has she lost her mind? Liu Zhong, look at your daughter! She's completely disregarded the future of the Liu family!"
A group of so-called relatives, standing on their moral high ground, pointed fingers at Liu Qingmei.
They were extremely angry because they felt that Liu Qingmei should be a victim of an arranged marriage.
She has the blood of the Liu family in her veins, so she has an obligation to do anything for the Liu family.
"Qingmei, what exactly do you mean by this? What are you trying to do?" Liu Zhenhe suppressed his anger and pretended to be calm as he looked at Liu Qingmei.
Although I don't usually pay much attention to this granddaughter.
But he was indeed the most important move for the Liu family's future.
Everything was based on her willingness, but if he was unwilling, the Liu family would force her to be willing.
Liu Zhenhe spoke to Liu Qingmei in a rare gentle tone: "Have you suffered any injustice or been bullied by someone? If so, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will stand up for you."
Liu Qingmei took a step forward, her expression icy and devoid of any emotion: "Everyone bullies me, everyone makes me suffer, everyone forces me to do things I don't want to do."
“Everyone told me insincerely that I am the future of the Liu family and that I bear the responsibility for the future of the Liu clan.”
"Isn't that right? Third Master Liu specifically asked for you, what an honor that is! It shows that you are outstanding enough, and you are also an important prospect for the family to cultivate," Liu Zhenhe said patiently.
"The reason why the Liu family is where it is today is entirely due to that Third Master. In order to maintain the future status of our Liu clan, we came up with the plan to become in-laws with him."
"But this is something that many people can't even imagine. If you don't do it, there are plenty of young girls in the family who would be vying to do it. Do you know how many people dream of the Blackwater Stones you've accumulated over the years?"
"You mean this thing?" Liu Qingmei raised the black water stone in her hand and stared coldly at Liu Zhenhe.
Then, in full view of everyone, she loosened her grip, and with a snap, the black water stone fell to the ground.
"You..." Liu Zhenhe's expression changed drastically. The black water stone fell to the ground and split in two with a snap.
Immediately afterwards, a wisp of bluish-gray black mist emerged from the black water stone, and the two wisps of black mist intertwined to form a huge phantom.
The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the black clouds in the sky formed an angry face, which belonged to Master Liu.
"You dare to smash Third Master's sacred object, you're asking for death..." Liu Zhenhe roared angrily. He quickly clasped his hands together, knelt on the ground, and said in a panic, "Third Master, please forgive me, Third Master, please forgive me. The Liu family has not disciplined her properly. Don't worry, Third Master, we will definitely punish her."
The members of the Liu family knelt on the ground in a dark mass, their expressions filled with fear, lest Liu Sanqing punish them if they were not careful.
"I will personally visit the Liu family in three days. The Liu family must give me an explanation then, or I will massacre the entire Liu clan..." A cold voice rang out in mid-air, and the black aura surrounding the Blackwater Stone spread in all directions, disappearing without a trace a moment later.
"Third Master... Third Master, please listen to me, Third Master..." Liu Zhenhe looked up at the sky in horror, reaching out his hand to try to stop Liu Sanqing, but the other party had already disappeared without a trace.
The dark clouds that had been hanging in the sky vanished without a trace, and the sky became crystal clear.
However, every member of the Liu family felt extremely heavy-hearted.
The Black Water Stone contained a wisp of Liu Sanqing's soul. Now that Liu Qingmei had smashed the Black Water Stone, it meant that she had decided to sever all ties with Liu Sanqing.
This wisp of soul consciousness was originally the source of the Blackwater Stone's power, but now that Liu Qingmei is about to sever all ties with Liu Sanqing, the demonic power within it has disappeared.
This is black water stone, a treasure that so many people dream of! And it was smashed like this.
"Liu Zhong, look at your good daughter." Liu Zhenhe stood up and glared angrily at his son.
He was furious. Everything in the Liu family was going well, but because of Liu Qingmei's crazy act, the Liu family's position was very likely to be lost.
The current situation is that not only is the Liu family's position in jeopardy, but the Liu family is also very likely to lose its position because of Liu Qingmei's actions.
"Dad, I... I'll find out what happened right away." Liu Zhong's voice trembled as he walked out, looking at Liu Qingmei with an angry expression: "Are you crazy? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Dad... I'll call you that for now, after all, you are my biological father." Liu Qingmei smiled and slowly raised her head: "From beginning to end, have you ever treated me as your biological daughter?"
"What do you mean by this? You've always been my own daughter, and I've put you in this position, giving you access to Master Liu's Blackwater Stone. This is something so many people dream of!"
"Hehe, is that so? All the suffering and pain I've endured are things you've always dreamed of." Liu Qingmei laughed, but as she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.
Her tone turned icy cold in that instant: "I... Liu Qingmei, don't need such things. I want to marry a monster, and then all of you send me to the fire pit, and you tell me this is an honor, something others can only dream of?"
“If that’s the case, then fine, I can give it up. I’m not the only woman in the family. Anyone can marry Liu Sanqing.”
Liu Qingmei coldly stared at everyone present and said sternly, "Let their wives, daughters, and relatives do it. Who is willing to step forward?"
The scene fell into a deathly silence; no one responded, for no one wanted their daughter to jump into a fire pit.
“Dad, look at them, none of them are willing, only you... Heh, back then only you, just to get a little charity from the family, pushed your own daughter into the fire pit with your own hands.”
