Old Lady Su glared at Jiang Caiping fiercely, "This is the capital, not the northern frontier where you can do whatever you want. Put away your martial arts style. Do you want everyone in the capital to laugh at our wife, the Marquis of Yongning, for being a shrew?"

Jiang Caiping fell silent instantly.

The second wife's eyes rolled and she immediately stepped forward to help the old lady.

"Mother-in-law, you don't know that my sister-in-law is also mad at this bitch. Anyone who sees her daughter running home on her wedding day and yelling about breaking off the engagement will lose her temper. Isn't this bringing shame to our Yongning Marquisate..."

"Did I ask you to speak?"

Liu from the second house was startled, and when she met the old lady's cold eyes, she dared not say a word for a moment.

"You're yelling and cursing in the street, and even resorting to violence. Why don't you bring shame to the Yongning Marquisate?"

After a few words of scolding the two daughters-in-law so much that they could no longer raise their heads, Old Lady Su walked up to Su Jinyue with a sullen face.

Seeing that her wedding dress was torn to pieces and her made-up face was covered with dust, she frowned slightly but still spoke patiently.

"Although your mother is impulsive, you are still too unruly. You ran back to your mother's house without even seeing the newlyweds."

She sighed, as if she was an elder who was helpless towards her younger generation, "Well, I'll have the housekeeper take you back to the Xie Mansion first. No matter what, come to the mansion with your husband tomorrow to talk!"

He raised his hand and actually asked the butler to prepare the horse.

She spoke as if she was really considering Su Jinyue, but she knew very well that everyone in the Xie family was probably hating her and would only humiliate her when she returned.

Besides, she had said such harsh words in the street, and if she went back now, she would be slapping herself in the face. By then, the people who originally sympathized with her would probably think that she was going back on her words and was full of lies!

"Grandma, I have broken off the engagement with the Xie family and I will not go back!"

She spoke each word with great force and did not flinch even when meeting Old Madam Su's angry gaze.

Su Jinyue knew very well that this grandmother who seemed to be so righteous actually had no feelings for her at all and only cared about the reputation of the Yongning Marquisate.

In her previous life, it was with her connivance that the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion dared to openly favor Su Zhiyao and deliberately abuse herself.

That's why she made such a big fuss in the Marquis' Mansion and attracted onlookers. Only in this way could she force this hypocritical grandmother to come out and "support justice."

"Just now on Chang'an Street, everyone in the capital saw me scolding Xie Qingxu for being ungrateful and abandoning his wife for the new man. I think my grandmother has heard about the suffering I have endured in the Xie Mansion over the years. I want to go back to such a heartless and ungrateful husband's family. Isn't it too despicable?"

This made Old Lady Su hesitate. She subconsciously retorted, "But you and Xie Qingxu have already been betrothed by three matchmakers and six betrothals, and have been married with eight sedan chair bearers..."

"It doesn't matter if my reputation is damaged temporarily, but I have already torn my face with this heartless and ungrateful husband's family in public, and I am rushing back. How will the noble families in the capital view the Yongning Marquis' Mansion in the future?"

This sentence hit the nail on the head for Old Lady Su. Her eyes flickered immediately, but she still didn't continue the conversation.

He just said, "What's the matter? Let's go back home and talk about it. Why are you making such a fuss at the door?!"

He turned around and was supported by the nanny back to the mansion.

After the old lady spoke, Jiang Caiping and her group didn't dare to say anything more. They could only grit their teeth and follow behind resentfully, going back home together.

Su Jinyue was left looking up at the plaque "Zhengdaguangming" on the gate and smiled gently.

In this life, she will definitely take back everything that belongs to her!

As soon as I entered the main hall, before I could even sit down, a servant came running in hurriedly with a letter.

"Madam, Madam, the Xie family sent a letter saying it was written by General Xie, and they specially asked Madam to open it in person!"

Jiang Caiping stood up and said, "Why would Xie Qingxu write a letter when he is not getting married to Zhiyao? Send the letter back the same way you sent it and tell him to treat Zhiyao well. He doesn't need to worry about other things!"

As he said this, he glared at Su Jinyue beside him with an unsatisfied look.

Old Lady Su realized something was wrong and frowned, reminding her, "Take a look at what's written in the letter, and then you can make a decision."

Although Jiang Caiping was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey Old Lady Su. She took the letter and read ten lines at a glance, then her face changed color!

"Ridiculous! Xie Qingxu actually said that if Jin Yue didn't go back to get married, he wouldn't marry Zhi Yao!"

She grabbed the letter and pointed at Su Jinyue and cursed, "You are asking for death, but if you cause trouble for Zhiyao's marriage, I'm afraid you won't be able to atone for your sins even if you are cut into pieces!"

Old Lady Su didn't care about these things, she just asked, "As for Jin Yue's dowry, I remember that it was bought by your mother herself, it was worth one million taels, did he say how to deal with it?"

Jiang Caiping frowned, looking a little impatient. "She's already been carried home, so naturally he won't send her back. He also said that since it was the bride who broke off the engagement, the responsibility lies with the Yongning Marquisate. He didn't ask for compensation because of their friendship over the years..."

"What nonsense!"

Old Lady Su slammed the table and said, "Jin Yue hasn't even married him yet, so she can't be considered his wife. At most, she's just engaged. What right does he have to withhold the dowry?"

Jiang Caiping was thinking about Su Zhiyao, and said anxiously: "Mother-in-law, this is not the time to worry about these things. Zhiyao is a good child. Now because of Jinyue's nonsense in the street, her marriage is in jeopardy. What should we do?"

"In my opinion, why not let Jin Yue go back at night and let the Xie family deal with her? Anyway, her reputation in the capital is already ruined, and no one will want her without Xie Qingxu. Rather than not being able to get married in the future and ruining the reputation of the Xie family, it is better to solve this problem now!"

Listening to her biological mother arranging her future, which was not even as good as that of an ordinary maid, Su Jinyue felt only pain and ridiculous.

Seeing that Old Madam Su's expression was wavering, Su Jinyue knew that she must find a marriage that was more prominent than the Xie family in order to completely put an end to their idea of ​​forcing her to return to the Xie family.

"How can mother determine that I will never get married?"

Jiang Caiping was stunned for a moment, then said as a matter of course: "You already have a bad reputation. Ask all the men of marriageable age in Beijing, who would be willing to take a second look at you?"

Old Madam Su raised her hand to stop Jiang Caiping from continuing to curse and gave Su Jinyue a meaningful look.

"What bargaining chips do you have that you dare to speak so arrogantly here?"

Su Jinyue suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Old Madam Su.

"Grandmother, you have always been well-informed. Do you know where the horse I rode came from?"
