Sun Hetang's face was covered in tears: "What did I do wrong? Lin Songyan ignored me at first, and then he was diagnosed with a deficiency. The Sun family didn't want this marriage anymore. What's wrong with me making a few sarcastic remarks to him? The Qiao family wanted to curry favor with the Lin family, and Qiao Zhizhi was willing to marry a man who couldn't have children. What kind of good person is she?"
"Third brother, I want them to suffer right now. I don't want to see them get married. Don't they want to be together? Don't they want to show off because of it? Then break them up. If the two families can't form an alliance, they'll be easier to deal with. You'd better think of a way, or I won't live anymore."
Young Master Sun looked troubled. It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up for his sister, but that he was powerless to do so.
Sun Hetang threatened suicide, which gave him a terrible headache. He said, "Don't do anything foolish. Third Brother will find a way to help you."
The next day, Butler Chai sent Qiao Lian'er an invitation, saying that Young Master Sun had requested a meeting.
The Wu family went to the Sun family to annul the engagement, and Qiao Lian'er also went to witness the whole thing.
Logically speaking, this matter has little to do with her, but Young Master Sun insists on seeing her.
She still kept the appointment, wanting to see what Young Master Sun thought.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon private room in the teahouse, they saw that Young Master Sun looked pale and somewhat dazed. Inside the room were two large boxes.
Once she was seated, Young Master Sun came to his senses, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess Zhenguo."
Yes, given Qiao Lian'er's current status, many prominent families have to bow to her when they see her.
"Just say what you want to say." Qiao Lian'er didn't have much patience for the Sun family.
Sun San Gongzi said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Princess Zhenguo is a straightforward person. I just want to know if those words came from the Qiao family."
"So what if it is? I won't offend others unless they offend me. If Sun Hetang hadn't spoken so arrogantly in front of my sister Zhizhi, she wouldn't have ended up like this." Qiao Lian'er admitted frankly.
Young Master Sun was surprised that Qiao Lian'er recognized him so quickly. The faster she recognized him, the more it showed that she didn't take the Sun family's strength seriously.
He didn't sleep a wink all night, tossing and turning, and felt that facing a strong opponent, it was better to yield than to fight back. Even though he had a lot of resentment in his heart, in this world, strength ultimately prevails.
He then had his attendant open the box.
One box was filled with gold and silver jewels, their gleams reflecting each other brilliantly. The other box contained stacks of silver notes, each worth a thousand taels.
Qiao Lian'er was taken aback; this action by Young Master Sun was unexpected.
"It was Fifth Sister who offended us. She is lively and willful by nature and doesn't know her own limitations. I, as her older brother, will make up for the mistakes she has made. Now that Fifth Sister is not from a good family, I would like to ask Princess Zhenguo if you could think of a way to make amends for her. Otherwise, how will she live her life?"
Qiao Lian'er suddenly realized that this Third Young Master Sun was not entirely without brains. Instead of being determined to confront her head-on, he had taken a different approach, hoping to use her power to help his Fifth Sister.
He must have hated and resented her, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose the most promising path.
"Actually," Qiao Lian'er said, "this matter is over. As long as Sun Hetang doesn't overstep her bounds, she will be safe and sound in the future. Instead of thinking about making amends to the Qiao family, Young Master Sun should advise Sun Hetang to prioritize her own life and not let hatred cloud her judgment. It won't do her any good."
Given the sincerity shown by the other party, Qiao Lian'er's words carried a touch of genuine advice.
"Third brother, are you crazy? I asked you to avenge me, and you actually bribed the Qiao family with money."
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Sun Hetang rushed in with a look of utter disappointment on his face.
