Su Jinyue leisurely picked up the teacup and looked up at Xie Qingxu, "It would be best if today's incident didn't get out. If it gets out, General Xie will probably be implicated."

How is that possible!

Now that he has just returned to the capital with military merit and has a good reputation in front of Your Majesty, how can he leave an embarrassing impression in front of Your Majesty because of this incident!

Xie Qingxu's heart was like on fire, and he blurted out: "It's just that Zhiyao told me in advance, I just want to come to visit the Marquis, Su Jinyue, why do you want to make such a big deal about this matter!"

"oh."

Su Jinyue put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Xie Qingxu with a smile, "It turned out that Su Zhiyao leaked the news that her father had returned to Beijing."

"Father, mother, please understand!"

Su Zhiyao's eyes immediately turned red and she bowed to Su Yanying.

"The whole city is buzzing about the cancellation of the engagement. There have been too many criticisms about the Marquis' Mansion and the Xie family in the past two days. My daughter's reputation is not affected, but I am worried that it will be too widespread and damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. I just risked the disapproval to send a letter to General Xie so that we can discuss how to resolve it together!"

"Yao'er, your father certainly understands you."

Liu said sarcastically, "Not everyone is like Jin Yue. Just because you have bad intentions, you think others have bad intentions."

Jiang Caiping patted Su Zhiyao's back to comfort her. When she looked at Su Jinyue again, she was obviously disgusted. "Su Jinyue, you are exaggerating and making up this story just to drag your sister into this! You'd better put away your dirty thoughts!"

"Sister-in-law, I said that Jin Yue grew up in the manor, which is different from the rest of us." Liu said with contempt, "She is very thoughtful."

Boom boom boom!

Old Lady Su tapped the ground heavily with her cane, "Shut up! The in-laws are here, how can you keep quarreling?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Jinyue with a cloudy gaze, "Jinyue, General Xie will be one of us in the future, so there is nothing wrong with visiting him. You don't have to mention this matter again!"

"Old Madam, you are wise." Xie Qingxu bowed in the direction of Old Madam Su, "My grandmother and I came here today to ask for an explanation from the Marquis regarding the marriage between the two families."

Su Yan stroked his beard and nodded, "In that case, I'll make the decision. I'll pick a date and you can get married quickly."

When the family heard Su Yan's words, they all looked at each other in private, and no one spoke.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su sat even higher up in the hall, lowered her head and drank tea, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.

At that time, Liu held the handkerchief to her lips and looked at Su Jinyue with a smile, "Jinyue, why don't you thank your father quickly for not punishing you and allowing you to marry into the Xie family."

"The one who married into the Xie family is Su Zhiyao. What does it have to do with me?" Su Jinyue said lightly.

Just this one sentence directly swept across Su Yan's face, making him so angry that his face turned red, and he raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table!

Bang!

The teacup trembled due to Su Yan's palm.

"You unfilial daughter!"

Su Yan pointed directly at Su Jinyue and said angrily, "Today I was going to force you to go to the Xie family and ask for forgiveness. Today the Xie family didn't care, but you still put on airs! How could I give birth to a bastard like you!"

"Your reputation has been ruined! Now that the Xie family is willing to marry you, you should be grateful! What is your attitude now?!"

Su Jinyue stood up calmly, looked at Su Yan and said, "I hope that in the future, if father is schemed against by others, he will be grateful and repay evil with kindness."

"you!"

Su Yan couldn't believe it. His daughter had never dared to disobey him since she came back, but today she was so sharp-tongued that he was so angry that his chest ached!

"You have always been so rude! Asking you to be the mistress of the Xie family is already an injustice to Zhiyao. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"A woman with such a bad reputation, ask around the capital, apart from the Xie family, is there any good family willing to marry a woman like you as their principal wife?!"

Every word he said was like a stab in the back of her wound. Su Jinyue sneered in her heart, this is her biological father!

Bang bang bang!

Su Yan slammed the table fiercely a few times, "Zhiyao was dragged down and lost face on her wedding day because of you. Do you want us to suffer with you?!"

"Father is wrong!"

Su Jinyue stood up and said, "If anyone says that it was Xie Qingxu who made Su Zhiyao lose face on the wedding day, it was him, Xie Qingxu, not me!"

Liu took the opportunity to say sarcastically, "Jin Yue, this is where you are wrong."

"You caused a big uproar on the day of your wedding, which prevented Zhiyao from getting married. Why are you putting the blame on General Xie today?"

Madam Xie sat aside and acted like a good person. "I shouldn't get involved in the affairs between the children, but I really like Jin Yue. I came here with Xu'er today to clear up the misunderstandings between the children."

Old Lady Su, who was sitting in the upper seat, also nodded with a smile, "Old Lady Xie is right, the misunderstandings between the children are trivial matters, just explain them clearly and everything will be fine."

"Okay, then I'll explain it clearly."

Su Jinyue stood up in public and looked at Xie Qingxu, "General Xie, I just broke off the engagement with you, but I didn't stop you from marrying Su Zhiyao. Why do you blame me for not getting married?"

"Could it be that General Xie was unwilling to get married at that time, and there was another hidden reason?"

Su Jinyue broke off the engagement that day, but because of her dowry, Xie Qingxu didn't want to let her go easily.

He wanted to use the fact that he would not marry Su Zhiyao to "threaten" the Su family to marry Su Jinyue to him.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Jinyue, who was usually humble and submissive, actually dared to go against him again and again in recent days for some reason!

Now that Su Jinyue had exposed her, Xie Qingxu was also a little angry and embarrassed, "How can I marry Zhiyao after you made such a fuss at the wedding that day!"

"That's perfect now."

Su Jinyue said, "My father is here too. You can discuss a good day for the wedding and marry Su Zhiyao off. This won't embarrass General Xie, right?"

Su Zhiyao wished that Su Jinyue would make a bigger fuss and not marry him, so that she could be a proper general's wife! She, Su Jinyue, was still the country bumpkin raised on the farm who was not worthy of being seen by others!

Xie Qingxu snorted, feeling embarrassed, and a little angry. He cupped his hands towards Su Yan, "My Lord, it seems that our Xie family is not worthy of this daughter of the Marquis. It doesn't matter if this marriage doesn't take place!"

"I'm afraid you will have to explain it to your Majesty yourself!"

He has a lot of military merits and is very talented. Su Jinyue is being arrogant now, and she will regret it in the future!

Su Yan heard Xie Qingxu say this, gritted his teeth and slammed the table twice, "Come here! Tie up the young lady for me! For disobeying your elders, I will first give you twenty military sticks!"

Two old women came in from outside, but Su Jinyue kept her back straight and there was no fear on her pretty face.

The faces of the people in the hall more or less showed that they were looking at her in a mockery of fun, and no one spoke to plead for her.

Jiang Caiping frowned and looked at Su Jinyue, "You are so arrogant. Your father punished you today so that you can understand the rules of respect and inferiority!"

Su Jinyue's lips curled slightly, "If you have the guts, try to tie me up!"

"Sister, you can't bear twenty military sticks." Su Zhiyao looked worried and said to Su Jinyue: "You'd better give in to father."

While saying this, Su Zhiyao in her heart wished that these twenty military sticks could beat Su Jinyue to death!

Su Chengjiang said loudly, "Sister, you don't have to plead for her. We need to punish her according to the family rules to make her realize her mistakes!"

The two old women stepped forward and tried to grab Su Jinyue's arms, dragging her aside and tying her up!

"Ouch!!"

But before their hands touched Su Jinyue's arm, they both cried out "ouch" and their palms couldn't stop shaking uncontrollably!

"What's going on?!"

Su Yan could see everything clearly from his high seat. The two old women's hands were shaking like sieves and they couldn't get close to Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue held the silver needle in her hand and looked at everyone coldly, "Who else wants to come and try my needle?"
